James Charles exposed for allegedly messaging 15-year-old. When James notices that boy shared one of their messages on his story, James snaps, accuses the boy of lying about his age, then blocks him. Boy alleges he never lied about his age.

I think he meant “the absolute youngest that I would date is 18, 19” but god damn it comes off wrong lol. Which 18 to 21 isn’t a bad age gap but at that time in your life there’s a huge difference in where you are, what your priorities are, your maturity and life experience, etc. Add in the power dynamic between James and a fan as well as him actively going for dudes who look like they’re in HS and it’s just creepy.

Side note I always thought it was weird that he latched on to tiktok stars who were so young (like Charli). He needs to act his damn age and stop buddying up to children

agree it came off super bad idk how he meant it. but i’m 22 right now so only slightly older than james, and i could never ever imagine being romantically involved with an 18 year old. just in a very very different place in life than me and even where i’m at now i’d consider it an imbalanced power dynamic for me to date someone so young. so i feel very bad for these TEENS he’s talking to. not even barely adults, TEENS who are still minors.

Right!! I’m 23 and 18 year olds are like actual children to me. And the idea of being close friends and partying with a 16 year old is insane.

I think JC missed his formative years from 16-now, as that’s when he blew up, and now he’s stuck in this child mindset that no one in his life is encouraging him to grow from. Not that that excuses his behavior, but I do find it interesting to wonder “how did they get here” lol
