James Charles apologizes and denies allegations of sexting minors while doing his makeup.

James Charles is a beauty YouTuber who rose to prominence after he photoshopped his high school senior photos as the cover of an issue of Vogue magazine. In 2021, Charles became the subject of intense scrutiny when at least two teenage boys came forward with allegations that Charles was texting and SnapChatting with them. These allegations are incredibly serious, but Charles opts to address them in his apology video while doing his makeup because it reduces his anxiety. Charles maintains that these people lied about their age, but acknowledges that he needed to do his homework on the people he was flirting with and apologizes for his actions.
