Charles spoke out on the incident during a joint video with YouTuber Joey Graceffa on September 8, where admitted that he\u2019d wanted to discuss suicide and depression in his response to the issue. However, the beauty guru refrained from doing so, explaining that he wanted to avoid appearing to ask for sympathy in light of Tati\u2019s serious allegations by speaking on the toll that the widespread hate was taking on his own mental health. 600https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzwTrEfpJ2C\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u201cSo many kids feel suicidal and deal with depression and feel anxiety,\u201d Charles said of the issue. \u201cAnd that\u2019s something I wanted to talk about so badly, but I knew when I addressed everything and started to get back\u2026 I had to just say the facts\u2026 because if I brought any of that up, it would make it look like I was wanting sympathy.\u201d (Timestamp: 18:30 for mobile viewers) The drama between Westbrook and Charles set YouTube\u2019s beauty community on fire, with Charles losing millions of subscribers due to the debacle \u2013 an issue that even YouTube king Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg commented on, doubting that he would ever be able to \u201ccome back\u201d from the scandal. Despite names like Jeffree Star labeling Charles a \u201cdanger to society,\u201d the YouTuber has managed to regain his 16 million subscribers in wake of the blowup, after releasing his video response to Tati\u2019s claims that debunked nearly all of her allegations. Since then, Charles has reclaim his status as one of YouTube\u2019s most popular beauty gurus \u2013 but he knows the dangers of social media stardom firsthand, likewise commenting on the \u201cbandwagon hate\u201d that permeates online communities.
