Jeffree Star is now losing subscribers after he involved himself in the James Charles Tati
westbrook drama and wrongfully accused james of being a predator.
He posted a video to his channel entitled Never doing this again, where he defends himself
and his actions, but also does not provide the proof that he previously promised.
So why exactly did jeffree star involve himself in drama that had nothing to do with him?
Many are saying that its jeffree star who orchestrated this whole thing.
I’m going to tell you what you need to know, right now on IO.

So a few days ago, james Charles finally came forward with a very well thought out video,
essentially debunking the vast majority of the claims made against him by tati westbrook.
I know that some people still thought something was off because there were some dates that
looked off on the texts james shared, but the dates were off because james was travelling
from Australia back to the united states.
The time difference puts Australia at an entire day ahead, so that explains that.
I have to say, I wish james came out with this video first, instead of his apology video.
From james’ apology, he looked incredibly guilty.
He didn’t defend himself at all and left a lot of questions unanswered, which also
contributed to his temporary downfall.
So if you are following this drama, I highly recommend you check out james’ video.
The biggest thing I took way from it is that James Charles is a virgin.
But I’m not going to talk about james in this video, I’m going to talk about jeffree
star, who is now losing subscribers after he posted his video Never Doing This Again.
Jeffree Star was one of the main instigators of the James Charles drama.
First of all, Jeffree is one of Tati’s closest friends.
He’s an extremely respected member of the beauty community, in 2018 he was the highest
paid youtuber on the platform.
So when he chimed in with this tweet, most people were sold on the idea of james Charles
being a predator.
There is a reason that Nathan banned james Charles from ever coming over to our home
again.
There is a reason why I havent seen him since glamlifeguru’s birthday in february.
He is a danger to society.
Everything tati said is 100% true.
Whats that?
A danger to society you say?
I mean, that’s a pretty bold statement.I would very much like to hear more.
But after this tweet, some social media users felt like something was up.
After all, this was jeffree star.
A very controversial figure who has the reputation of being a bully.
It turns out that Jeffree Star took the opportunity to bully james’ younger brother Ian, when
ian was tweeting about a completely unrelated issue.
Ian tweeted, why does everyone act so tough over the internet.
To which jeffree responded.
Why is your brother a predator?
Why’d you really move back to nyc, exactly shut
the eff up.
A thread was then started by the twitter account LG monster95, essentially proved that jeffree
is a complete hypocrite.
The tweet said.
A Thread, exposing biggest makeup guru jeffree star for assaulting men, being a predator
and problematic.
The thread included public responses by people who were bringing up all a lot of shady things
jeffree has said and done over the years that directly relate to his accusations.
Tweets were shared like this one from 2010 by jeffree star, which stated, I’ve had
so many straight boys naked that I think I deserve a lifetime achievement award.
Then this one from 2016.
I wonder whos dtf tonight?
Straight boys where you at.
Not sure you guys know this but Jeffree’s current husband Nathan Schwandt does not identify
as gay.
He only dated women before meeting jeffree.
My point is, jeffree star is someone who knows first-hand about what it’s like to, so to
speak, convert a straight man into being gay, so why was it such a problem when James Charles
did it?
Another tweet in this thread said, Jeffree is gay but married to a straight guy.
When have you big influencers openly going for straights aren’t teenagers like James
and others want the same for them.
All his career he joked about how he always sleeps with straight guys so isn’t it wrong
too like the james case?
And by the way, jeffree star literally has a song called straight boys, and its about,
you guessed it, converting straight men.
Then a bombshell of a video went viral that showed Jeffree star grabbing a man by the
crotch.
The unnamed man in the video looks extremely uncomfortable.
Now this video very well could have been staged, maybe the man in the video was a paid actor,
we just don’t know because it is old, and jeffree did not address many of these claims
in his video “Never Doing This Again.
Let’s not forget when kat von d exposed jeffree star for his behaviour, a very similar
scenario.
Kat von d, another huge beauty guru, was to jeffree was the same kind of role model tati
was for james.
And guess what?
Kat Von D also exposed Jeffree for his inappropriate behaviour a couple of years ago.
Here’s her instagram post where she says.
After years of making excuses for and rationalizing jeffree’s inappropriate behaviour, including
promoting drug use, racism and bullying, I can no longer hold my tongue after recent
events.
Interesting, very interesting.
Jeffree has addressed many of his issues in the past, apologizing and deleting tweets.
He said he was a different person back then.
He also said in his response video that he doesn’t want to be the old jeffree anymore.
But has he really changed?
Well, maybe not.
James Charles exposed the messages Jeffree Star sent him in his video No More Lies.
When I read these messages, I thought to myself, damn.
That’s savage.
I wouldn’t even say that stuff to my worst enemy, let alone someone who I supposedly
loved and was once friends with.
Jeffree star called james a slough of horrible things.
As soon as James’s video went up, jeffree immediately went on snapchat and twitter,
alleging that there were always two sides to every story, promising that he would come
out with a video of his own.
But instead of feuling the fire, jeffree went with another angle.
He chose to stop his involvement in this drama and not provide the proof he promised.
This left many people confused and disappointed.
Jeffree seemed like he had some serious dirt on James Charles, which would have been very
hard to prove since James’ video was so thorough.
Many thought that jeffree chose to bow down because he didn’t have the proof that he
said he had.
Why did he get involved and say all the things that he said if he wasn’t ready to back
it up with proof?
More on that in a second.
But for now.
Here’s a response on Jeffree’s video.
I find it very convenient to launch accusations and then when the person accused defends himself
providing proof of what he says, the accuser says ‘no more drama please.
Its extremely hypocritical to act this way.
And this one.
Jeffree: There is no hate in my heart.
Also jeffree – visciously and wrongfully accuses james of sexual assault, encourages
a mob of people to send hate and death threats to James and Ian.
Lastly, jeffree has zero receipts, but he tries to act like the bigger person and not
show what he ‘has’ because there is nothing.
Shake my head, drop the pride.
So, You get the idea.
So just to wrap things up here, what possible reason could jeffree have had for involving
himself in this drama that had nothing to do with him?
Well, some are saying that he wanted to take james Charles down because he was becoming
more popular than him.
Some are alleging that this entire thing was a publicity stunt orchestrated by jeffree
and tati.
It could also be that Jeffree really really believed in his heart that james was a danger
to society.
In his response video, Jeffree said that he was being told things about james that he
didn’t like.
But what urks me about that is instead of defending his friend, Jeffree chose to participate
in the unravelling of james’ career.
Jeffree would talk about the same thigns james did, and james has said he looks up to jeffree.
Who’s behaviour do you think James is emulating.
I would like to think that jeffree could not be capable of this.
Maybe tati told him not to release the video.
James also said that both tati and jeffree wanted to talk to james in private before
he released his video, but james declined, arguing that they chose to publicly ‘expose
him’ so he thought it was only fair for him to publicly defend himself.
I’ve actually been a fan of jeffree up until this point.
I was almost always on his side even when Kat Von D exposed him.
But I’ve definitely seen a different side to jeffree, and its going to be hard for me
to watch his videos or buy his products going forward, at least for the next little while.
All of this being said I respect that jeffree and tati have chosen to back off, ending the
drama.
I think one thing we can all take away from this is, don’t cancel people without evidence,
and always question people who come forward with accusations and without proof.
From a legal standpoint, it would not stand up in a court of law.
In fact, it puts the accusers at risk.
If James wanted to, he could sue Jeffree and Tati for defamation of character.
But instead, james has agreed to put it all to rest, and I think it’s the most mature
thing he could have done in this scenario.
James tweeted.
Thank you Jeffree star and glamlifeguru for your sentiments.
I am on board to move on, will not speak about this further, but do hope to speak in the
future when we’re all ready.
This week was awful for all of us, and I ask that the community focuses on positivity moving
forward.
At this time, james has gained back a large percentage of the subscribers he lost since
this whole thing began.
He’s now just shy of 15 million subs again.
That is all I have for you on this, tell me your thoughts on this story down below but
for now I’m going to respond to some comments from my video.
tati westbrook regrets everything.
Brownie Bytes – she knew exactly what she was doing.
Her and jeffree star.
They’re jealous that james became more popular than them.
I can support by giving them viewership, you get paid based on views not subscribers..
I will also take this opportunity to let you all know that tati made around 20 million
dollars since this whole thing started.
Video games and more – thanks for a long video keep uploading.
Noted.
Anonymous – I don’t like ptoatoes.
