Hey what’s up everyone it’s Sussan Mourad here at Clevver News, and James Charles is
speaking out about getting DEATH THREATS over his JoJo Siwa collab.
So, as we know James Charles has been all over the internet lately and not all of it
was for the best of reasons.
Just a couple days ago a seemingly frantic James took to his Instagram to go on a full
blown rant about a PR package sent to him from a new beauty line full of empty products.
That new beauty line just so happened to be that of Lauren Conrad’s and James held nothing
back when showing off the empty tubes saying "I just opened a PR package from a new makeup
brand from somebody who has no business having a makeup brand."
He added, "Stop making makeup brands.
Stop!
Stop!"
Lauren took to her social media in a now deleted post to share her side of the story writing,
"For those asking about the empty components sent to James... let me tell you a funny story."
She continued, "The woman who put together the gifts (it was me) decided to fill a makeup
bag full of empty samples to make sure everything would fit inside.
When beauty products arrived and it was time to fill all the makeup bags she (again, me)
accidentally included the bag full of empties with the others and it was sent out.
She will be let go immediately."
James then took to his stories yet again to explain his reaction and also issue an apology.
He said, "Wanted to write an apology to Lauren Conrad for my stories earlier.
I've been on the verge of tears all day long from a ton of things going wrong & opening
her PR package was the icing on the cake of weird things happening today.
My stories talking about the products were supposed to be funny but they just came across
as nasty because I was so upset, not with her, but with other things that happened today.
Lauren and I spoke privately about the misunderstanding & are both good."
Now moving onto his collaboration with Jojo Siwa.
By now you probably saw the transformative pics where James glammed up Jojo - where she
was almost unrecognizable as the Jojo we know!
You gotta admit, these pics definitely stopped so many of us from scrolling on our feed with
“omg is that Jojo?!”
And Jojo gave James a full Jojo Siwa make-over.
Well following the collaboration going live, many Twitter stans started to go OFF on the
collaboration and Jojo’s transformation.
And before you freak out, JoJo says her new style won’t last long and said back in April
the bows and bright colors are here to STAY.
She said, “Recently, I’ve been showing myself looking different — not the classic
rainbow, sparkles and side ponytail with a JoJo bow.
I’ve been hated on for YEARS for dressing ‘young’ and acting ‘childish.’
People think this is me changing.
LOL nope!
I love who I am!”
But the excitement with a lot of James Charle’s fans didn’t last long when some of his fans
came for him about the collab, leaving James no choice but to address the elephant in the
room.
He wrote, “I said today’s collab was with someone I waited two years to work with & I
was so excited for and now I’m getting death threats because stan twitter assumed it would
be their fav and it wasn’t.
there are a TON of huge artists I’d love to film with one day, be patient!”
He followed up with, “I liked a few tweets from fans saying they wanted me to collab
with their favs because I also would love to collab with their favs.
If I DID collab with their favs, today would've been full of "stay away from her" tweets anyway.
Leave me alone!”
Fans were quick to come after James and let him know their TRUE feelings with one fan
writing, “things you did wrong.
Said the person you were collabing with was a “celebrity.”
Said this collab was “break the internet” worthy.
Said you waited 2 years implying this is an a-list celeb.
Liked tweets about Ariana collab.
We have a reason to be dissapointed.”
Someone else wrote, “Ok but can you please help me understand how is a collab with Jojo
Siwa "internet breaking worthy."
OUCH!
Someone else chimed in “No one sent him death threats.
Lol.”
Obviously, it is never okay to send anyone death threats or threats in general!
In this day in age, it’s better to spread love and light than darkness, so how about
we all agree to do that?
And as James said, there’s plenty of big artists he’d love to work with, and hopefully
one day he will, so patience is key!
