“I used to like James Charles, but any grooming allegations honestly make me sick.”
After several minors came forward and accused Charles of sexual misconduct, Charles denied the allegations and said that he found a man on his explore page, added him on Snapchat — where Charles allegedly said the minor claimed he was 18 — and began flirting with him. However, once Charles found out that the minor was 16, he ceased all communication. Afterward, more minors came forward with messages from Charles.
Charles responded to the allegations, saying, “As an adult, it is my job and responsibility to verify who I am talking to and therefore, there is no one to blame, other than myself.” He said. “To the guys involved in this situation,” he continues, “I want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I added you [on social media], I’m sorry that I flirted with you, and I’m really sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It is completely unacceptable. I was being reckless.”
