FULL TITLE: YouTuber James Charles is under fire after he was slammed by mentor Tati Westbrook for dishonest and predatory behavior, but Ulta is still carrying his signature palette
The controversial YouTube star James Charles seemingly hasn't gotten the brush-off from the major makeup retailers behind his signature eye-shadow palette.
The same can't be said for the millions of people who unfollowed Charles over the weekend after Tati Westbrook, a fellow makeup artist and former mentor, posted a video accusing the 19-year-old of dishonest and predatory behavior.
Charles' YouTube account boasted about 13.5 million followers as of Tuesday, down from an audience of about 16 million. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian West, Demi Lovato, and Jeffree Star were included in the online exodus.
Charles and Westbrook had collaborated numerous times and are both well-known influencers in the YouTube beauty community. But on Friday, Westbrook posted a video titled " BYE SISTER" in which she accused Charles of changing for the worse because of "fame, power, and a fat bank account" and alleged that Charles attempted to "trick a straight man into thinking he's gay" on multiple occasions.
Later that day, Charles posted a video apologizing to Westbrook and her husband. Representatives for Charles didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

It don’t take much for youtube or youtubers to get on you. They will get on you for anything or they will get on you for nothing.
