I owe a massive apology to anybody I've hurt or made uncomfortable with my actions. I fully understand my actions and how they are wrong. There's no excuse for them, and I don't plan on making any."The internet celebrity also admitted to messaging underage fans, as he claimed he was under the impression that they were all 18 or above:"I f***ed up, and I needed to take accountability for my actions and, most importantly, apologize to the people that were affected by them. These conversations should have never happened, and I take full responsibility for it. As an adult, my job is to verify who I talk to, and therefore, there is no one to blame for this other than myself. ""I'm sorry that I added you, I'm sorry that I flirted with you, and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It is entirely unacceptable. I was being reckless."While his video ended up raking in over 157,000 likes on YouTube, the Twitter community was left unconvinced, calling James Charles out over his apology video.Twitter left unconvinced as James Charles attempts to take accountability for grooming scandalOne revelation from the New York native's apology video has mainly left the online community enraged.

I think the truth is more insidious and something he could never admit publicly, that he likes young boys. At this point the police need to be involved and there isn’t really much more to say about it.— Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) April 1, 2021how come james charles doesn’t realize that you can’t just apologize for CRIMES pic.twitter.com/5EOR9akJ2J— ari ✪ (@PLUTOSWAE) April 1, 2021What’s crazy is that he repeated the same “mistake” 6/7 times now . He knows what he is doing and he knows the power he has to get what he wants.— Daniela Olvera (@danielaolvvera) April 1, 2021I’m really bothered by this James Charles shit, as are many. Why are there 99k likes on the video? Why are we accepting this? He’s admitted to illegal things. Am I crazy?? He does not deserve to keep profiting off social media and risk harming other minors.— ᴹᴱᴳᴬᴺ (@pastelhour) April 1, 2021I'm actually disgusted at the like to dislike ratio on James Charles' "holding myself accountable" video. The comments are full of "We love you. Everyone makes mistakes."

He only made that video to avoid losing money, fans, & going to jail.— Kari Tacoma (@KariTacoma) April 1, 2021pls stop putting ur origin story in ur apology’s, that’s what’s truly desperate, james charles. u are not iron man, i do not know how you became the predator you are today. i am not sorry for you. pic.twitter.com/FMRNG64jAY— mckenna (@mckennawolfman) April 1, 2021.. of the ice berg. It's that he doesn't see that he's putting others in harm and that what he's doing is a serious very illegal issue. It's pedophilia, grooming etc - and not about just checking someones age and "messing up" by not doing that.— Sofie | Social Media Sales (@authenticsofie) April 1, 2021ah yes talking to minors cause you’re desperate.... this sounds worse than we thought— al (@capresesaIad) April 1, 2021i don’t need a body language expert to tell me this apology is shit— evan peter’s wife (@Aamarah_) April 1, 2021UM FR. I hate seeing all the comments on his video saying 'it's not okay for people to lie ab their ages' it's not at all okay but ITS JAMES'S JOB 2 MAKE SURE THEY ARENT LYING. With all the scandals he's run into with the same issue being age I don't know why he can't learn.— сука (@crrrucify) April 1, 2021The worst thing is, he's gonna get away with this and still have a platform to continue being "such a wholesome influence" to youngsters. When will someone who has the power to FINALLY take a stand and say no and strip him of his influence— Here's Leah (@Heres_Leah) April 1, 2021He needs to be in jail at this point. He so cleverly deflected away from addressing the whole minor aspect and focused on a power imbalance. No James, this is about you being inappropriate with minors.— Nina (@NinaCasserly) April 1, 2021With his recent apology video seemingly backfiring, it now remains to be seen what reception awaits James Charles once he returns from his current self-imposed sabbatical from social media.
