YouTuber Tati Westbrook just returned to social media with a cryptic video after a lengthy
absence around the time of the 1 year anniversary of her scandal with James Charles.
What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and it looks like Tati Westbrook is back,
again.
If you are an avid fan of Tati Westbrook’s on YouTube, you’ve probably noticed that
she hasn’t posted a new video in over 3 weeks now.
Her last upload was on April 30th, whereas she usually posts much more frequently like
once or twice a week.
And her last IG post was at the very beginning of this month, which is also out of character
for her because she typically posts on Instagram every few days.
She also took to Twitter around the same time writing quote, “No video tomorrow…
Me & my heart are taking a time out.”
Tati’s unexplained break fell around the same time as the one year anniversary of her
YouTube drama with James Charles.
In case you somehow forgot, about a year ago, Tati uploaded the bombshell of a video called
“Bye Sister” listing all the reasons why she no longer wanted to be associated with
James Charles.
The two went back and forth on social media with video after video for a bit, and their
feud also had numerous other beauty influencers in the community get involved in the drama.
The saga took a toll on both James and Tati’s mental health and they both took some time
off from making content after the scandal.
But over the past year, both James and Tati have been producing and posting content as
usual on their channel, that is until the last month.
Tati went silent on YouTube without saying much to her fans until this week.
She posted a cryptic video with a XO and a butterfly emoji as the caption.
And Tati decided to break her silence on Instagram with a video montage set to James Arthur's
song "The Truth."
In the two minute video, Tati shared footage from the last few months, including herself
crying in September 2019, a birthday celebration, and images of birds, wings and butterflies.
She also included an array of quotes like "We see what we want," "Keep walking," "The
universe will put you back together in front of the people who broke you" and "Don't trade
your authenticity for approval."
Along with inspirational quotes, Tati shared some not so nice comments from people she
received since her feud with James.
And after showing those cruel comments, Tati shared another quote that said, "You can't
go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
And then Tati shared some words of her own letting her fans know where she’s been at
and what her plans are.
So clearly Tati is planning on making a comeback to YouTube and her social channels soon, but
for now it seems like she’s taking the time to take care of herself.
And many of Tati’s fans are totally supportive of the break and commented on her post sending
love to her during this time.
One person wrote quote, “Whenever you are ready, we Will be here Waiting”
Another chimed in and said quote, “Tati, you're so strong!
We love you.
Sending all LOVE and POSITIVITY your way”
And this fan wrote quote, “I miss you but I know you need a break.
Just know we who love you understand.
Hope your doing well and can’t”
And while Tati has been taking a break during the one year anniversary of one of YouTube’s
biggest scandals, James has been more active than ever on social media.
He just finished airing the first season of his YouTube original reality competition show,
Instant Influencer.
And he’s even openly talked about it being the one year anniversary since
the scandal.
And James has been honest with his fans about how big of a toll that time took on his mental
health and how far he’s come since then.
And so clearly it’s been a long road for both James and Tati since the scandal.
And even now a year later it can be an emotional reminder of how far everyone has come.
So hopefully Tati is taking the time off that she needs and her fans are clearly ready for
her to come back whenever she is ready to do so.
But I want to know what you guys think about all of this.
Can you believe it’s been a year since all that Tati/James drama?
And do you think that’s why Tati took some time off social media?
