James Charles demonetized from YouTube amid grooming allegations James Charles YouTubeYouTube has disabled monetization from videos on makeup mogul James Charles\u2019 channel amid the growing allegations of grooming and sexual misconduct accusations, with some cases allegedly involving minors. Charles has spoken out on the claims and is planning to take legal action against \u201ca series of misleading stories and false allegations.\u201d In the meantime, he won\u2019t be making money from the YouTube platform, according to a report from Business Insider. YouTube has \u201ctemporarily removed\u201d Charles from their Partner Program, meaning the 21-year-old will not be able to monetize the content that he publishes for his 25.5 million subscribers. It\u2019s unclear how long YouTube will keep Charles\u2019 channel sidelined, but the makeup vlogger has multiple claims ahead of him. Since March, several teenage boys have come forward of their alleged interactions with Charles. There were instances that claimed the YouTuber was \u201cmaking the conversation very sexual,\u201d according to one account from a 16-year-old. Charles would later publish an apology video on YouTube in which he said: \u201cI take full responsibility for that\u2026 In doing the research myself, both of these people\u2019s social media profiles would have revealed their true ages and these conversations would have never happened in the first place\u2026 To the guys involved in the situation, I want to say I\u2019m sorry.\u201d YouTuber\u2019s latest actions against the American content creator comes on the heels of more repercussions following the allegations. On April 16, Charles revealed a mutual split with long-time cosmetic partner, Morphe, and will \u201cwind down\u201d their collaboration until further notice. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GsjwRp8_lWA&t=730s Similarly, Charles was slated to reprise his role as host of Instant Influencer, a YouTube Original competition series where he was a panelist in Season 1. Shortly after YouTube announced Charles\u2019 return for Season 2, they walked back on the decision. Charles has been one of YouTube\u2019s biggest creators and collaborators. While he made his career on the back of makeup tutorials and regular vlogs, he\u2019s acclimated to other social media influences from all over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
