ICYMI or, you don’t follow YouTubers, this weekend beauty vloggers James Charles And Tati Westbrook went at it online and things were insane.
Tati Westbrook is a well-known beauty mogul and vlogger who has long been a staple of the beauty industry online. Not only is she one of the original beauty gurus on YouTube, but she also founded the company Halo Beauty.
James Charles was a young kid who was taken under Westbrook’s wing and coached, mentored, and trained on how to become a successful beauty vlogger. To date, Charles had gained millions of followers due to Westbrook’s help. Let us not forget Charles was made an honorary Covergirl and has his own makeup brand.
Drama sparked between the two after Charles went off promoting a competing brand to Westbrook’s brand, Halo Beauty. Westbrook said she felt betrayed that Charles would cash in on promoting another company even though she had plugged Charles for years.
Westbrook released a YouTube video (a 40-minute long YouTube video) basically trashing Charles and telling the world how horrible he is, and all of the disgusting things he’s done over the years. It’s truly…mindblowing. The drama, the tea—it’s everywhere.
Later that night, Charles released an apology video—after losing over a million subscribers in 24 hours, setting a new YouTube record.
People online were quick with the jokes for this one, y’all. So quick, we had to pull the best ones for you to enjoy with your scolding hot tea.
