Shane Dawson responds amid Jeffree Star & James Charles controversy YT: ShanePopular American YouTuber Shane Dawson has responded following allegations he and Jeffree Star were ultimately behind last year\u2019s \u2018dramageddon\u2019, which saw Tati Westbrook level numerous allegations at James Charles. The amount of drama in YouTube\u2019s beauty scene is becoming difficult to keep track of. Jeffree Star, among others, is facing unsavoury allegations from a host of his ex-employees and friends. It is one of his ex-models \u2013 Kameron Lester \u2013 who has played a major part in this ongoing controversy. Lester, in a lengthy Instagram TV broadcast, levelled multiple allegations against Star, including the fact that the make-up mogul was regularly in contact with Shane Dawson. Their conversation allegedly settled on James Charles, and their feelings regarding the YouTuber. The conversations Lester references have caused many to settle on the idea that Star and Dawson were behind Tati Westbrook\u2019s video on James Charles \u2013 entitled \u2018BYE SISTER\u2019. The video \u2018exposed\u2019 James Charles, but Charles has since responded and Westbrook retracted a host of allegations. Now, responding to the accusations that he was part of the campaign against James Charles, Dawson has attacked the beauty industry on YouTube, and defended himself on multiple fronts. While he admits to knowing that Tati Westbrook was going to make the video on Charles, he refutes that he was a motivating factor behind it. He also states that he has never \u201ctried to ruin a career or make someone look bad in my 15 years on YouTube\u201d. The screenshots from the deleted tweet can be found below: Dawson essentially stated his desire to remove himself from any future drama, and that he did not warn Charles about the video. However, he stated that the pair have discussed the matter in private and he will not make the conversation public. Furthermore, he hit out at YouTube\u2019s beauty and make-up scene, claiming it is full of people who have become \u201cobsessed with looks, money, power, fame, screenshots and subtweets\u201d. He has since explained why he deleted the tweet, stating that: \u201cBut I don\u2019t want this energy in my life or on my timeline. I\u2019m too sensitive for this shit and I\u2019m done.\u201d I deleted everything. I\u2019m done. For those who wanted me to \u201caddress it\u201d I did. I\u2019m sure u can find it reposted somewhere. But I don\u2019t want this energy in my life or on my timeline. I\u2019m too sensitive for this shit and I\u2019m done. \u2014 Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 21, 2020 Jeffree Star, for his part in the ongoing drama, defended himself on the Mom\u2019s Basement Podcast, asking why he would try and \u201cdrag\u201d James Charles, when he has no need to. As much as this drama seems to be dragging on, it doesn\u2019t seem that we\u2019ve heard the end of it yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
