yet another bullshit statement, i don’t believe you whatsoever. the kid clearly looked shaken up, and you have a history of doing this it seems like. this won’t be swept under the rug and we won’t forget.

you shouldn’t feel the need to ask someone for a passport or ID every time you meet someone new. he said he was 18 and he already looks older then that, it’s not his fault.

But he is, he’s making excuses for his actions and moving on like nothing happened

Damn...there’s a lot of comments calling him a groomer...I saw the videos and I believe the teen said he was 18 first....why do you think he didn’t show the beginning of the convo.. ppl are always out to gain clout or destroy someone’s reputation

You mean he made excuses. A notepad excuse for the seriousness of this is not gonna be good enough.

Why are you trying to defend somebody who groomed and had sexual convos with minors??

y’all need to learn what this word means instead of throwing it around like candy in twitter. james is in the wrong but the other person lied about his age and purposely set him up exactly like the previous false stories about him after tati’s vid

— Ray (@vdidntask) March 5, 2021

I will never understand how people still idolize this person with all the shit he’s done... but if it’s someone else who gets accused of the same thing (grooming)... they get cancelled so quickly... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

With all the commotion that has taken place on Twitter, the best solution would be a detailed investigation into the matter. Grooming a 16-year-old is a grave crime that requires severe sanction.

The entire controversy had mellowed down before James Charles' recent return to social media restarted the debate on Twitter.

TOTALLY UNEXPECTED: James Charles returns to Internet following allegations he allegedly sexted 16-year-old boy. Since then, other fans have come forward with allegations James allegedly pressured them into sending nudes. James denied allegations in notesapp apology. pic.twitter.com/If6SJW5etG

Ya’ll really have no idea what grooming is and it shows.

Last time James was accused he had proof and now that a kid lied about his age it's still his fault? Like the kid was filming from another phone when in reality if James actually knew that the kid was 16 the kid would have screen shotted from his actual phone.
