James Charles Career Is Basically Dead. Why? 

I’m still pissed at the fact he called him grooming minors MULTIPLE TIMES “drama” if he was in any other career path, it would be off to jail. But for influencers, literal crimes are just cancel culture and drama

The worst part of James is people rooted for him when he was genuinely being canceled by other makeup icons who were trying to "expose" him but then revealed himself to potentially be exactly what they were accusing him of being. Absolute scummiest move was posting a "taking accountability" video only to delete it after the heat died down so his new viewers wouldn't see it.

The Narcissist’s Prayer: That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

I’m sorry but the way the narrator said the waiter realized he was straight after his experience with James was just too funny😂😂😂😂

James is the perfect example of what happens when you get to the top too fast. He felt like he was entitled for everything he wanted, he felt untouchable and wanted everyone to bow down to him.

I love how every RU-vidr goes with no makeup, low exhausted voice, and messy hair for their apology videos.

I found your channel today morning and am addicted now, seeing the community uncover such details that can destroy influencers and even celebrities has some sort of charm to it, and the way you narrate these like a story is really intriguing. all I want to say is Keep making more of such videos, keep them coming!!

The fact that he is a groomer and still has a huge following is absolutely mind blowing

You don't apologize for other peoples sensibilities, you apologize if you yourself recognize that you did something wrong and if you genuinely mean that apology

disgusting how he specifically targetted straight men who clearly had no interest

im gay and the fact that he wants a boyfriend who’s straight is gross. Pressuring someone to have sex with you who doesnt want to isnt having a boyfriend but someone who’s being forced to do something you want against there will

Don’t let him play a violin, A-Minor is how he got into this situation

The fact that he's admitted to messaging minors and still has such a huge following??? Absolutely blows my mind who people will stand by because of their status, if a regular guy admitted to doing that the same people wouldn't have anything to do with him.

'Til this day, I still have no idea how he hasn't gotten "cancelled" yet, I mean he kinda did, but not to the point like MiniLadd or other people. Like people just simply forgot 🙃

I'm absolutely terrified of manipulative sexually drived monsters like James. I don't think I'd fall from force when it comes to exploitation, but manipulation like his? The way he could reverse anything I would say onto me is just absolutely fear inducing to me. How he could have the gall to dare do this to anyone is just terrible and I hope not only that he's ashamed and that hes learned, but also that he's been held accountable.

Here is the CORRECT guide to make a good apology: -Don't make a video, make a livestream and a vod so people can ask questions. If you do make a video make it then do a livestream. -If you are really REALLY wanting a video, be honest, no script but also don't try to make it look like raw footage, it is a clear indicator its a fake apology.

His apologies are the equivalent to, "I'm sorry you feel this way."

I just don’t understand how people were trying to hold him accountable for his actions, yet was given so many chances by the community.

Lesson: you can explain your side if you're in the right. If you fucked up, you can't try to talk your way out of it.

Bro this tweet on 9:56 is insane

This just shows that fame isn't for everyone, people think they can say or do anything and that there are no consequences to those actions

It’s such a shame because James Charles is a great example of how predators operate in the LBGTQ+ community by playing the “supportive, successful, harmless” gay man. Any criticism about them online gets thrown out because hateful, useless homophobic bullshit gets mixed in with the real message: You need to practice caution everywhere. No one is “on your side” just because they say they are. Regardless of orientation, you are not safe from being taken advantage of. And influencers are all playing a personality.

I'm going to be real honest here, if accountability was taken he wouldn't even have a platform now. This man should've been severely punished, but unfortunately that likely won't happen.

Brooooooo.... Do an update with the Cosmo article and all... Your analysis is needed !!!

I'll never understand how famous people go this route. You're famous, you could have any one on the earth and you go for the kids. Sick shit.

The fact that he thinks he can just go back to his career normally every time he gets cancelled is honestly concerning

I'm so sorry u had to make this video bro it must've truly disgusted u but ur content is good. Great content ☺

I love that no matter who he's talking about he gives credit 😁 keep doing what you're doing👍

Still crazy how fast James' following grew. I think that James could've rode his wave of fame for a long time if he owned up to his mistakes and actually tried to stop getting into more controversy.

As a gay man I find it so absurd that people would actually go after straight people. I have straight friends I would probably be in love with if they were bi or gay, but to actually go after them would be absurd, and goes against a lot. The fact he had experience with getting straight guys is also concerning, which means he knows how to manipulate people into questioning their sexuality. That manipulation ability means I'm not surprised he would go after a 16 year old, I hate people like this that just make the entire community look bad.

I love how sunny always credits people even if they've done something wrong good job sunny we really love you 😁

bro is making a murder documentary

James has the typical " I am rich and famous and I can do whatever I want" I am glad people are not allowing it to go on anymore. Everyone should be held accountable, no matter how popular or wealthy they are!!!

He's not "cancelled" . Facing consequences of one's actions isn't being cancelled

He is someone that they actually managed to cancel. He used to get like 2 million views in like a day but now none of his videos even reach a million and he’s got literally 24 million subscribers. His downfall was interesting to watch because for a while I didn’t think that he would ever be canceled with the amount of stuff he’s gotten away with. Truly fascinating how he was the fastest growing RU-vidr to now his channel is literally dead

The fact that James Charles was "forgiven" for his child predatory behaviour whilst EDP445 is hated not only in the virtual world but the real world it's self

Respect to this man for crediting literally everybody whose videos are shown in his own.

It's crazy how giant names can just vanish. I never watched James Charles, or any of the genre's he was included in but I still knew his name. Even as a non viewer I had an idea of who he was until one day I didn't. That minute level of consciousness that I had faded to a point that I literally forgot about him completely. Now I know why. People take for granted the power of word of mouth.

I should also address the experience that I had with James as well: I should start by saying that this was in July of 2022 just after I had turned 12, James Charles added me on Discord and we started chatting to each other, at first it seemed like any other, however only 20 minutes later he started sending me nudes of himself and after I told him that I was only 12 he started asking me for nudes myself, I immediately blocked him and unfriended him on Discord and showed the evidence to my parents and they were able to talk to him and told him to be very careful with me because I was only 12. I am sorry if I get criticised for not coming out about this earlier but I’m doing it now and thank you guys for the support ❤

after getting in a major drama like that, people are so into you during the drama then forgets you the next day someone is the new hot topic

James thought he was to big to be brought down. It's obvious in his "I'm a celebrity" line. You cannot do horrible things say "im sorry" disappear for a few months then reappear and expect everything to be forgiven and forgotten. Well unless your Shane Dawson.

James is the equivalent of those cringey guys that think they can turn lesbians straight.

Apologize to the people you care about, to co-workers, to individuals, etc. But never apologize to the masses. In the age of social media, it's just never enough. They'll always be more they can dig up on you, and you can't ever make them look in their own mirrors.

13:15 What the fuck is that for a thumbnail? I can't understand this dude. Like no way.

James has a predominantly child/teen audience, but when he does this shit it's just cancel culture. I work with kids and if accusations were sent against me I would be suspended, investigated and yeeted from my job more than likely. Being an influencer/celebrity is not a free pass to do this shit to children. I forgot about this for 7 months and holy thanks for the likes! I just wanted to add it just makes me sad and angry James choose to use his influence the way he does. A lot of my teen beans, especially my LGBTQ beans look up to him as a role model. They see a confident gay man. James has said before he didn't realize how much influence he really has and the impact he has. But really he still DOESNT. He has the power to literally lift up an entire generation of young queer youth and yet he uses his social media like a tinder. I'm a 24 year old non binary queer bean so I'm essentially a gay elder at this point (lol) and even in my work when I work with children and they talk to me about this kind of stuff you see the difference when it clicks in their minds there are adults who are like them, living happy lives. They begin to see they have a future and I know in even my own small capacity I have made a difference. I make the choice everyday to be the most positive influence I can given my typically not positive circumstance that lead me to working with the kiddo. James has the ability to make waves of positive impact compared to my drop in the bucket but here we are 🫤

This is why you never fawn over celebrities. They don’t care for you. You are a toy for them. And people like James will ruin your life.

7:30 “sexual assault hotline”💀

POV James Charles: Why do people like saying the c word so much Me: Trying not to reply: What? "Consent"

James literally sounded like he was reading a script when it came out, and I’ve been saying this every time it comes up, especially the part where he says “I will try to be a better person” or the whole rant about what he’s gonna do during he takes a break, this man has no shame, and he’s probably the same now as he was 2 years ago.

Tati never retracted her statement and James just deflected. Very telling.

not respecting someone's sexuality is disgusting and predatory also "famous" on a social media platform is not famous. it's not a proxy for real life. what happens is these people surround themselves with those who know them and fail to understand that in the real world no one knows or cares who they are

6:12 bro I was more interested by the lines than anything else and when he took it off I actually said “aww shucks”

Tati's "cancellation"' attempt wasn't pathetic, because everything she said ended up coming to light in due time. Regardless of why she exposed James, what she said appears to be factual and accurate.

So let me get this straight, When EDP445 was caught grooming a minor, he was immedietly deplatformed (Now im not saying that EDP445 shouldnt have gotten deplatformed, he deserved it and it was well justified) but when james gets caught multiple times he doesnt get deplatformed, What im trying to say is that he should've also gotten deplatformed because he got caught multiple times.

do you have a music playlist? With the music you have in your videos?

I can not take this seriously with his hair at 11:12

Yes they get less views, but 20 mil views a month still ain't bad... Based on their niche they are definitely making $100k+ a month.

You didn’t mention this, but his former assistant also came out with an interview/editorial about her experience working with him, how she had to do his laundry, clean his house, make sure he ate, and get him to make videos because he simply didn’t want to. He was incredibly rude to her and other staff, and honestly just sounds like a man baby.

Ima be honest, I feel like there is no RIGHT WAY to make an apology video😭like no matter what way they apologize it doesn't make any difference. It's a bad apology. Sombody tell me how an apology vid can be good😭

If James Charles just ended his tweet at 1:26 this whole situation could have been avoided 💀

I feel like just the sending pictures and asking a minor nudes, etc, is MORE than enough to have someone be arrested? It’s clear he has done so since there is PROOF. It’s just gross. It’s never taken seriously. I feel for the victims.

This is probably one of the best unbiased videos exploring and analysing james' controversies and downfalls.

Really got to give respect to sunny for getting so much info and uploading so often

I could watch this video another 10 times and never get why he did this 💀

Tati was always right, James was just masterful at gaslighting his audience

his career is far from dead. He's still extremely successful and it's horrible to watch this guy get away with crimes like this. people were affected by his actions and he should be held fully accountable. but he's not because he is wealthy and could bail himself out of almost any situation.

bro i mistaked james´ hair for a bird nest

His hair looks like a birds nest in that apology video lol

The "don't address serious drama" advice is horrendous. The better advice would be A, not to even get in the drama and B, always document proof that you aren't doing anything illegal or immoral and C, address and handle the PR nightmare better.

As a gay man I can honestly say that targeting straight men and trying to pressure them into questioning their sexuality like he did is nothing short of predatory behaviour. If he is willing to do that which is already disgusting behaviour in and of its self, it wouldn't shock me if he is willing to go further. It is innocent until proven guilty and as there is no definitive proof nobody other than him and his accusers can say for certain but it wouldn't shock me.

him going after underage kids is crazy

Grooming is not drama people. It’s wrong.

James Charles: "I love straight guys!" Also James when the guy is straight: "He's a con artist!"

Moral of the story: no RU-vidr is "too big to fail." No matter how big any creator thinks he/she may be, the platform will always be bigger, and should the creator's star fade, the platform will move on without them.

I guess Sunny was right, Don’t apologize and everyone will forget, worked pretty well with the Chris Tyson drama 😂😂

Bro why dose his hair look like that though😂😂😂 it looks like a tray😂😂

He needs to hold accountable whoever gave him that haircut.

9:56 "congratulations to James Charles on his kid's choice award! It's great because kids have always been his choice too!" Genius. Complete genius.

Exactly the message shows the guy texting James like come one 😂

"Starting from the bottom now we.... going down"

The fact that James isn't in prison goes to show how fucked the justice system is. If someone without his "status" had done this shit, they'd be locked up

What bugs me is the response to him inappropriately speaking to minors. As an adult it is always your responsibility to make sure you don't commit a crime. The "I had no idea" is never going to be a valid excuse. The reason why there are laws against indecent behaviour with minors is to protect the child, the victim, not the perpetrator. There is something very inherently wrong with him saying "I'm attracted to the absolute youngest" that people just don't seem to hold him accountable enough for. Dispicable.

Sunny seems to take his own advice pretty well, such as in the Chris Tyson situation he refused to apologize

I actually went and looked at the numbers on Socialblade, because I’m a massive nerd and would actually take the time to do that. And, yes, James’ career is all but dead - *by the standards of RU-vidrs with more than 20 million subscribers.* James hasn’t experienced positive subscriber growth on RU-vid for almost two years. But subscribers isn’t the main method RU-vid uses of determining money earned from the site - that would be views. Granted, James’ view counts have also plummeted since this situation, but that’s by the standards of RU-vidrs like him. Yes, he’s nowhere near the 150 million views he got in February 2021, but his view count for March 2023 is still pretty healthy - 40.9 million. He’s averaging roughly 1.3 million views per day, which brings him roughly $5,200 in ad revenue per day. That comes out to about $156,000 a month, or about $1.87 million per year. And that’s just from RU-vid - with the sales of his other products, I wouldn’t be surprised if his total earnings comes out to more than $3 million a year. So it isn’t necessarily fair to call James’ career *totally* dead. Yes, he’s nowhere near his past relevance, but he’s still bringing in a preposterous amount of money and views. And I don’t know if I’d call almost $2 million a year just from RU-vid “a dead career”.

It’s amazing he hasn’t even been charged with a crime at this point.

I take such joy watching "influencers" who didn't deserve any sort of recognition in the first place crash and burn, utterly destroying every shred of their reputation. Thus going back to being an absolute nobody like they always were in the first place.

10:42 Go woke, go broke

7:29 gotta love the hotlines yt has attached to his video

as a victim of grooming, i will say this and this only. James admitting to it, owning up, and saying sorry in one sense or another is something a LOT of victims don’t get. They watch their abuser continue on with their life, pretending it never happened, denying everything and doing anything in their power to keep it a secret. A lot of times victims watch their abusers deny until they die. James is still an awful person. Months away from 19, and i throw up in my mouth when i think of 16 year olds. Predators have a mindset and a justification that can’t be explained. I don’t know how people think the way they do sometimes. I think James should maybe start seeing a therapist, and figure out where tf these feelings come from. As well as how to properly deal with them. AND pay for the mens therapy as well. It was social suicide admitting to it, but admitting is the first step. Many many wishes for the men who had to deal with him as their abuser.

I read on Twitter (not associated with James) that celebrities or influencers who do public apologies too often will eventually not be taken seriously and their career can never get to a high point compared to someone who gets caught in drama and doesn’t publicly acknowledge it. Good notes to take

OK. This is not the place but dood..his hair...XD

Recommendation for all: delete and maintain distance from social media.

If that was a man asking a young girl for nudes he’d be in the slammer straight away , just cos it’s a man asking a young lad for them it’s not as serious 😬 it’s definitely as serious lock him away and throw away his eye liner

"I'm bi-curious." *makes out with James Charles* "I am 1000% straight. Never again."

This is the type of content people's children watch unattended 😂

The real question to ask here is, why isn’t he in prison yet?

Everything about this dude creeps me out. His face, his voice, his mannerisms, his personality, everything. He definitely does stuff with kids.

James had so many opportunities to fix things, fix himself and move on.

I would actually disagree with this being a case of bad press management. Like one of these comments at the end mentioned, it's crazy that he was outed as being what he is but yet it was seemingly forgiven. Considering what an effect that *should* have had, apparently his management of it could hardly have gone better.

I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea how James hasn't gotten arrested yet. I mean, James' behavior in these incidents are unhealthy obsessions and practically predatory behavior, and even evidence of these scandals have presented themselves multiple times in the form of several people coming forward about James pressuring straight men into hanging out and sending inappropriate pics to underage men. Maybe it was decided that the slow decline of James' popularity was his punishment, who knows?
