Hey sisters, if you are looking for proof that sometimes getting canceled on the internet does nothing to you or your brand,

0:08.0

then look no further than James Charles.

0:09.8

Because I think that this man has made more apology videos than anybody on the internet, and it just keeps on going.

0:16.5

Hi, all, James here.

0:18.3

And this time, guys, unfortunately, I think I might agree with him. Just bear with me. Now, before we dive into this story, I just want to remind you guys that on May 19th, that is next week, I will be doing another show at Zanis. So if you are in Nashville in the greater Nashville, Middle Tennessee area, come on out. We still have tickets available. The link will be in the bio. I tell stories basically do a live version of the show. We make fun of my favorite things on the internet per usual. So it was just a good time May 19th at Zanies. Go check it out. All right, I am so excited about this episode. James Charles is such a freaking trip. I don't even have words to like describe this type of person he is where he came from. Like he just kind of had to be there. But TLDR, he is an

0:55.5

OG influencer, like one of the first ever makeup beauty influencers. He was friends with, like,

1:02.0

the Dolan twins, and Emma Chamberlain, if those names ring any bells for you, Jeffrey Starr,

1:07.0

that whole world, and he just constantly seems to be in hot water. And this week is no different. So in order to talk about this story, you do need a tiny bit of context here. And so two weeks ago, this is really all you need to know, but two weeks ago, Spirit Airlines officially closed its doors. Now, there's a whole political debate about whether we need to blame Elizabeth Warren or Trump, all that stuff. Delta is now getting all the Spirit airline passengers, so good luck Delta. Anyway, they closed its doors, most importantly, leaving 17,000 people out of work. And one of these employees, or I guess alleged employees, we have no idea who this person is, DM'd. This mega influencer, James Charles, a link to her GoFundman. I'll put the message up on the screen so you can see this. She's saying they left me without a job. Anything will help. Now, James was in his DMs scrolling one night, maybe looking for teenage boys. I don't know, sorry. And he read this DM and he decided to make a TikTok about it. And TLDR, he let his intrusive thoughts win. So let's just watch his response. This is what set the internet into a tizzy.

2:03.1

I just got a DM on here from a girl that said, good morning, James. I know you'll probably never see

2:07.6

this, but if you could just take one minute to read, it would really mean a lot to me. I'm really

2:12.7

struggling right now because Spirit Airlines just found for bankruptcy and I have lost my job.

2:18.3

Here's a GoFundMe link. Any donations help.

2:22.3

I'm sure they do, sweetheart. I'm sure they do. You know what else would help you?

2:28.3

Getting another job. Yeah, try that. Because in the time that it took you to copy and paste the same fuck-ass message to myself, who you don't follow, by the way, and probably 100 other influencers and celebrities, you could have applied for 100 other jobs, but you didn't because you're a lazy piece of shit and you're entitled. And you think that influences and celebrities should fund your life for you. Why? Why would I ever help you? You're not a fan. You don't even follow me. You've never supported me. This is your first time DMing. And you think that I'm going to send you money because you lost your job? Oh my God. Welcome to the real world, sweetheart. People lose their jobs every fucking day. And you're white, pretty, and able-bodied. You're in a much better position than a lot of other people out here who are trying clearly

3:10.9

much harder to make a better life for themselves. Why would I fucking help you? Okay, so that is

3:16.3

just one minute of the video. He actually goes on for two minutes and 30 seconds. Now we are

3:21.2

going to talk about the content of that video, the point that he's making the things that unfortunately I do agree with. But first, you need to see the reaction because people were outraged, to put it mildly. Now, the internet immediately, they started melting down. I'm just feeling really sad. He saw the comments and so he raced back over to TikTok and he deleted the video. Now, as I saw all of this transpire,

3:41.2

and I was reading the comments from people being like, you're entitled, you have no reason to talk about her being white and able-bodied because you aren't being woke enough. You aren't doing this. This is so grotesque. I can't believe this is coming for you. I mean, everybody was losing their effing minds. And I was sitting here reading all this and I was like, I don't know why

3:57.7

anybody wouldn't expect this from James Charles. Again, he has a new controversy every six months

4:03.2

because he can't close his mouth. He probably has a no tap full of apology drafts and he just has

4:08.5

ready to go anytime he gets in hot water. He has been canceled and then uncanceled or I guess just

4:13.1

like gotten back into the internet's good graces like a hundred times at this point.
