We all know that James Charles is no stranger to controversy.
And the drama recently heated up on Twitter when James went back and forth with RuPaul’s
Drag Race alum Trinity ‘The Tuck’ Taylor.
What’s up y’all?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and over the weekend there was a feud on Twitter that none of us
saw coming.
James Charles got into it with Trinity ‘The Tuck’ Taylor from RuPaul’s Drag Race in
a fight we never ever saw coming, but it’s 2020, so yeah makes sense!
So how on earth did these two get into it?
Don’t worry we’ve got all the tea.
But before dive into it, as always make sure you subscribe and hit that bell so you never
miss another entertainment news update.
It all started with a tweet that James posted Saturday, which many fans found offensive
and insensitive in light of the current state of the world.
James wrote quote, “tested positive for having a fat a**”
And the tweets came pouring in from people saying things like quote, “This is not the
time JAMES.”
Another fan wrote quote, “with everything going on in the world now james, you think
it's a good time to make these kinda jokes?
i feel like you should know better by now SMH”
With another saying quote, “@jamescharles people are dying”
Do you think James’ tweet was offensive or unnecessary during these times?
Or do you think he was just making a joke?
Let me know and get to talking in the comments below.
But it wasn’t just fans getting involved, this is where Trinity chimed in.
Trinity threw some serious shade and responded to James’ tweet writing quote, “Fat a**?
Girl who diagnosed you?
Hellen Keller?”
And this tweet opened the floodgates for a back and forth of clapback after clapback.
Buckle in you guys because this is about to be a wild ride.
James replied by making a joke about Trinity’s plastic surgery.
He wrote quote, “Damn, she must’ve mistook the lumpy silicone in your face as Braille
instead of reading my actual test results.
My mistake.... speaking of mistakes, how’s your crown?”
Obviously Trinity had plenty to say in response to that.
Trinity wrote quote, “Awe girl that’s cute.
Keep reading doll.
I’m not the one who tried to break in people’s lines at drag con to meet u and ask if u can
ship me free product ( my tucking panty) for a like and a post.
But girl do u!
That a** sure looks.........”
Then James popped off with a screenshot of the DM's he sent Trinity proving that he didn’t
ask for them for free, he actually offered to Venmo or Paypal.
He wrote quote, “Free?
Where??
You were one of my favorite queens & I was ready for a fun read back but this was weak”
Trinity wrote back that she remembered James "asking in person" at one of the DragCon conventions.
And James replied saying quote, “Nah, I needed it for Coachella & haven’t been to
dragcon in over a year.
If you’re gonna read me, at least come correct.
Not sure why you’re taking this so seriously, I actually really enjoy your work and thought
the initial tweet was playful!
Wishing you the best”
Like I said, things got messy.
And fans had a lot to say about this back and forth.
Many are concerned that these two are actually mad at each other now and can’t really tell
if this was all real or if they were just joking around.
One fan wrote quote, “is this a joke oorrr, is he genuinely mad?
its only drag james”
And James actually replied to this fan writing quote, “no I actually really like trinity
hahah just had to at least attempt to throw it back at her”
And other fans went after Trinity for stirring the pot.
One person wrote quote, “@TrinityTheTuck Did you cure your quarantine boredom by starting
some drama?”
Another wrote quote, “@TrinityTheTuck imagine starting a fight over the size of someone’s
a** I could never”
And another said quote, “This was unnecessary”
But both Trinity and James gave statements to YouTube channel JakeyonceTV about what
went down and their perspectives on the situation.
Trinity told the channel that quote, “Sometimes when people have repeatedly used their platform
to be gross or just plain annoying you get to a point where you have to call them out.
I made a joke that was light-hearted.
He replied with something even more pointed and it just made me decide to slap back.
I’m tired of the excuse ‘he’s only 20.’
no b***h.
He’s a grown a** millionaire.
People need to stop acting like he’s a child.”
But James also had something to say to JakeyonceTV.
He said quote, “Trinity replied to my tweet out of nowhere and I assumed that it was a
playful read so I read her back using jokes that she makes herself all the time.
Apparently it struck a chord.
I’m not sure why.
I really liked and respected her a lot so I have nothing negative to say.
I hope she finds something more productive to do during this world epidemic than be mean
to others on Twitter!”
So there you have it, there’s both sides of the story laid out for ya.
