“#James Charles defends Charli D’Amelio amid video backlash<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Beauty YouTube<\/a>r James Charles thinks the internet was too trigger-happ<\/a>y in canceling TikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio.<\/p>\n

Charles, who was in attendance at the now viral \u201cDinner at the D\u2019Amelios\u201d video posted to YouTube, took to social media to defend the 16-year-old after she started hemorrhaging followers due to what some perceived as offensive remarks and an overall snotty attitude.<\/p>\n

By Thursday night, she was spotted sobbing over the loss of 1 million followers \u2014 and pondering quitting TikTok \u2014 in an Instagram Live video<\/a>. Fellow social media star Charles was not having it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Charli situation is NOT sitting right with me,\u201d he wrote on Twitter<\/a>. \u201c100M followers in one year & y\u2019all expect her to know how to be a perfect role model? Death threats because she\u2019s a picky eater & made a joke about a milestone? 30+ year olds dragging someone half their age? Feels familiar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles, 21, is a prominent makeup artist and vlogger with a significant following of his own. He has 23.8 million subscribers on YouTube, 29 million followers on TikTok and 7.2 million followers on Twitter. He was the first male ambassador for CoverGirl, but has come under fire for controversies of his own in the past for problematic comments<\/a> about Ebola and Africa.<\/p>\n

Both Charli \u2014 who boasts the platform\u2019s largest following ever \u2014 and sister Dixie D\u2019Amelio are facing fan backlash for their actions during the video with personal chef Aaron May. Dixie, 19, spat out and vomited food prepared by May while Charli asked for \u201cdino nuggets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI threw up; that was not good,\u201d Dixie said. The 19-year-old has 43.8 million followers on her TikTok account.<\/p>\n

Charli was also criticized for sounding ungrateful for not hitting the 100 million follower threshold fast enough, after gaining hundreds of thousands of followers each day leading up to the drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cUgh, I just wish I had more time because imagine if I hit 100 mil one year after hitting a mil,\u201d she said in the video.<\/p>\n

\u201c95 million not enough for you?\u201d Charles quipped back.<\/p>\n

Charli had over 99.5 million followers as of Wednesday \u2014 but her count has dropped to 98.6 million as of Thursday afternoon. She has not issued a formal apology or statement for her behavior, but Dixie and their father, Marc, have both released half-hearted video explanations of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for all of the opportunities I\u2019ve had, so I would never in any way want to be taken as disrespectful, especially from an out-of-context 15-second clip,\u201d Dixie says on TikTok<\/a>. \u201cI love Chef [May], and I would never disrespect him in any way and maybe don\u2019t judge someone\u2019s personality over a 15-second video.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reps for Charli declined The Post\u2019s request for comment about the online controversy.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
