9+ Alleged Screenshots That Have Been Released Since The James Charles Scandal

In case you're wondering what happened between Tati and James to cause drama so big that it's made it onto CNN, here's the tea:

On May 10th, beauty YouTuber Tati Westbrook uploaded a video titled, "BYE, SISTER..."

The "sister," of course, is James Charles. That word is kind of his signature.

In the video, Tati revealed how heartbroken she was about James agreeing to advertise Sugarbearhair sleep gummies.

Sugarbearhair is a direct competitor of Tati's own beauty supplement company, Halo Beauty.

Since James and Tati are friends, she felt that him working for her rival was a betrayal.

She mentioned having never appeared on James' own channel (which she hasn't), and helping him with his own career when he was first starting out (which she did).

In fact, it's clear that James owes a lot of where his career is now to Tati.

She began mentoring him when he was a teenager.

The allegation with the biggest impact was this:

"Oh my god, you tried to trick a straight man into thinking he's gay, yet again, and somehow, you're the victim.

You know, it's really disgusting to manipulate someone's sexuality, especially when they are still, you know, emerging into adulthood."

And there's a lot of evidence to prove Tati right.

So many people have come out of the woodwork to confirm Tati's accusations that it's hard to keep track at this point.

On his Twitter, he posted multiple screenshots of James DM-ing him to hit on him.

Let's take a look, shall we?

"Straight boys have no game." Um?

This thread shows all the times James tried to shoot his shot with Sebastian Javier.

These demonstrate that this is definitely a pattern with James — if they're real, of course.

Tati brought up her birthday dinner in Seattle, where she believed that James acted inappropriately to the waiter they had there.

Which James didn't take very well.

Sexuality is a hard thing to figure out, especially as a teenager. It looks like James must have forgotten that, though.

This wasn't the end of their interactions.

This is where a lot of the anger at James comes from.

Should these screencaps turn out to be 100% legit, then this looks very bad for James indeed.

No one gets to tell you about your sexuality. Ever.

The video is WILD and totally worth a watch.

In a since-deleted tweet, beauty mogul and former friend of James, Jeffree Star, went after Ian Jeffrey.

Since we now apparently know what happened the night of Tati's birthday, this tweet is a little confusing.

We have yet to find out what Jeffree is referring to here, but odds are the truth will come out at some point.

He never followed through, deleting this tweet and allegedly thousands of others. He then released a video saying he wasn't going to get involved with drama anymore. Yawn...

Especially since James and Sam's DMs didn't come out until now.

What are we missing?

Still early in the scandal, an influencer who wished to remain anonymous contacted TeaSpill, a popular YouTube channel dedicated to reporting on beauty community drama.

Of course, since it's unverifiable, take it with a grain of salt.

As you can see, James reportedly claimed that Sugarbearhair heard about him getting "mobbed" at Coachella and reached out.

Unfortunately for James, one of his own friends would inadvertently prove that to be a lie.

These texts actually prove he knowingly chose to reach out to Tati's competitor via Nikita.

Needless to say this backfired. Hard.

In it, Tati explained why she made her initial video and goes into detail about the struggle it has been for her to deal with the drama and backlash towards James.

In the video he has the receipts that he tried to contact Tati and Jeffree multiple times, that his conversations with the waiter were more two-sided than they seemed, and that Jeffree was incredibly hostile towards him. Who to believe?!
