Twitter reacts as James Charles is accused of grooming a 16-year-old fan

Beauty mogul and internet celebrity James Charles has been accused of grooming a 16-year old fan whom he reportedly met on Snapchat.

The accuser, who goes by the name of Isaiyah, recently took to social media and alleged that 21-year-old James Charles had pressurized him into sending lewd pictures of himself.

In the video above, Isaiyah recounted his experience with James Charles:

"After sending me that first picture of his body explicitly, he sent me multiple after that. I was getting really uncomfortable so I told him my age , I told him I'm 16, meanwhile he's 21 , he's a grown man. After telling him no, he kept on asking me for pictures and videos of body hair and me flexing and stuff"

He then revealed that James Charles facetimed him in order to watch him "show off" and look "hot as f*ck".

As criticism began to mount online, Charles soon took to social media to release a statement about the allegations, which he deemed to be "completely false":

Claiming that Isaiyah had ulterior motives, James Charles stated that he did not know that he was 16 years old.

He claimed to have been uncomfortable upon finding out and stated that he even apologized to him for flirting.

Despite his swift response to the allegations, Twitter users seemed extremely skeptical of his justification, as they took to social media to call him out.

With public sentiment towards James Charles teetering on the edge of cancellation, it remains to be seen if he decides to release a follow-up video in order to add further credence to his statement.
