Every shade is named after his favorite phrases (“you’re kidding” or “love that”), scandals (flashback)and his favorite drinks (Pinkity Drinkity)
Hate
Like every influencer, James has his own haters as well. In 2017 fans and haters after seeing a picture of James having a little flashback moment, they created a meme as known as “Flashback Mary”. James instead of letting the hate get into him he named an eyeshadow name after it(flashback) and even changed his twitter name to “Flashback Mary” for a little while.
Scandals
Hate doesn’t just stop in a cute little meme. It can destroy your whole career, you know, the one you spent 5 years building up. Somebody’s influence can be so big you can literally lose a million subscribers in 12 hours, like it happened to james, apparently.
This whole story started at Coachella when James promoted Sugar Bear Hair, hair vitamins that almost every influencer has tried and of course promoted.
Tati Westbrook has her own “beauty vitamins” company, known as halo beauty. She got a little bit offended as James has previously said “my audience is young and it’s inappropriate” After that, Tati and James heated up. James posted a public apology but Tati didn’t seem to accept it. Instead, she got furious and spilled all the tea about him and his behavior, in real life, not behind a screen, not somewhere you can edit out what awful things you said.

At this moment, a couple of hours after James Charles got involved in influencers war, the whole world is watching his subscriber count falling dramatically and other influencers unfollowing him. Videos are posted every hour on Twitter, Instagram and Tik Tok where they show his pallet and merch being burned.
Apology as epilogue
Earlier James posted an apology video for everything he has done with the title “Tati” while on Snapchat, he’s just living a normal life, updating his Australian fans, if there are any left, about his pop-up shop in Pacific Fair.
The above story just shows how we’re influenced by everyone so easily that we go from idolizing a person to hating them in just a few seconds. But also that we quickly forget all the bad!
In conclusion, James Charles in 2021 after the influencers war is even more stronger.
