He also added that it may seem like he has not grown in the past two years and reflected on his actions but claimed to be working on his personal brand and himself.
The YouTuber went on to debunk allegations from the past and stated that people took advantage of his hiatus only to release fake allegations against the make-up guru.

Fans found James Charles speaking about grooming while doing his makeup disrespectful and simply do not want the YouTuber returning to the internet.
