Drag queens Spice and Karmalita Fox are calling out beauty focused digital creator James Charles for pulling out of a collaboration with them the night before it was set to happen, and the predatory allegations that continue to arise.
The queens alleged that Charles would only talk to them through his assistant, even when they visited his house in person. They additionally alleged that when further allegations of 24-year-old Charles messaging underage boys romantically and occasionally asking for nude images, Charles’ own brother came out against him to confirm the claims.
In the video, Karmalita also confirms that another controversial beauty creator, Jeffree Starr, claimed he had his own suspicions about Charles’ allegedly predatory behavior. The queens’ claims come after Charles unfollowed both of them on Instagram.
Over the last several years, numerous young men online have come forward about Charles sending them illicit messages while they were underage. Some even accused Charles of insisting that he could “turn them gay” if they claimed that they were straight. Allegations first surfaced in 2019 when fellow beauty creator Tati Westbrook shared a video titled “Bye Sister” alleging varying degrees of inappropriate behavior. They then resurfaced in 2021, for which Charles first apologized. He later alleged that he was “just not physically attracted to older guys,” and that he was more than comfortable supplying teenagers with plane tickets to Los Angeles to come visit him at his home.
