In the original TikTok, which has now been deleted, user Kian Jones showed what he claimed were screenshots of a conversation between himself and James Charles. In the screenshots, the 15-year old is shown telling \u2018James\u2019 his age who then responds by saying \u201cI\u2019ll pay for you to come now if you want.\u201d However, soon after he posted the TikTok, fans suggested that the DM conversation between the minor and Charles was fake and edited. One TikTok user said at the time: \u201cThis is f*cked up. James Charles is an awful person but falsely accusing them isn\u2019t okay either.\u201d Rumors then swirled that Jones had posted an apology video about the allegations before quickly deleting it, but when confronted by a fan on Instagram, he blocked them. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1381067136538341376 Now, Kian has posted a public TikTok admitting the screenshots were indeed edited and the accusations he made against James were false. \u201cI am just here to apologise to absolutely everyone about the James Charles situation,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was fake and it was my stupid, stupid irresponsible idea to do that, to try and ruin someone\u2019s career and try to gain clout along the way.\u201d https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@iamkianjones\/video\/6949286633552252166?sender_device=pc&#038;sender_web_id=6931184181967947270&#038;is_from_webapp=v1&#038;is_copy_url=0 He continued: \u201cBut honestly, I am so, so sorry from the bottom of my heart. I know I\u2019m going to get a lot of hate and I do deserve that, but I\u2019m just on here to say that I\u2019m so, so sorry.\u201d This false allegation comes after up to 10 minors publicly accused Charles of sexual misconduct and grooming. He recently responded to the allegations with a 12-minute YouTube video, wherein he claimed that wasn\u2019t as vigilant as checking people\u2019s ages as he should be because he is \u201cdesperate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Charles accuser admits grooming allegations were fabricated YouTube: James CharlesA 15-year-old TikToker has publicly apologised after it was revealed that a previous video he posted, which supposedly showed conversations between him and James Charles, were fake.
