TATI WESTBROOK FEUD COSTS YOUTUBER JAMES CHARLES OVER 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBER­S

-

American makeup artist and Youtuber James Charles found himself in hot [or shall we say burning] waters in the weekend of May 10 following a video released by his former friend and fellow Youtube personalit­y Tati Westbrook. In her 43-minute video titled ‘Bye Sister’, Westbrook thoroughly criticizes the 19-year-old’s recent behavior, while brushing upon him using his sexual orientatio­n in questionab­le ways. "You are a 19-year-old millionair­e. You do not get to wake up and stress out about how unfair your job is. That is so ridiculous to me. Get off your high horse and have some respect. You don't have any for the people who are in this industry and that's the sad fact,” she stated. Not only did the vide rack up over 28 million views to date but it also went viral on Twitter as people took to the platform to comment on the incident, including singer Zara Larsson who hinted that Charles tried to hit on her boyfriend while knowing that he’s straight. Things escalated quickly as many celebritie­s such as Miley Cyrus, Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes reportedly unfollowed the young Youtuber, whose subscriber count dropped by over a million in the aftermath of the incident! He went on to publish an apology video in response to the hype where he apologizes repeatedly to cosmetics guru and former mentor Westbrook. "I'm sorry for every that that is going on, everything that I put you through over the past few weeks," he said. “I'm so disappoint­ed in myself that I hurt her." Bur it doesn’t look like his apology is having an effect as his subscriber­s continued decreasing dramatical­ly, as Westbrook’s following on social media rocketed, proving how fickle of a place the Internet has become.
