James Charles recently went trending on Twitter after tagging a young Minecraft streamer on his Instagram stories.

On July 1st, 22-year-old YouTuber and beauty influencer, James Charles made a comeback on social media following a three-month hiatus to "reflect" on his prior grooming allegations.

In early March, multiple young men as young as 15 years old publicly expressed their experiences talking to James Charles, and even shared private and inappropriate messages that were sent to them via Snapchat.

This was allegedly James' second offense as he had been accused of the same actions a year before. Similar allegations were also brought to light during his feud with YouTuber, Tati Westbrook.

While many thought James was slowly climbing back into the favor of his fans, people were infuriated to see his attempt at reaching out to a minor.

In fact, this occurred three days after James took a photo of himself in an arcade with his zipper down. Although it was probably unintentional, many saw it as a way for the beauty guru to mock his situation.

Meanwhile, fans of Purpled banded together to try and protect their favorite streamer from ever getting in contact with the 22-year-old.

Considering James Charles' repetitive behavior, many became increasingly upset that he had not "learned his lesson" after his second alleged grooming scandal.

James even deleted his apology where he seemingly took accountability for his actions against the young victims.

James Charles has yet to respond or address the madness of his ongoing social media mishaps.
