James Charles is apologizing after being calling a woman who allegedly lost her job at Spirit Airlines “lazy” for sending him a Gofundme link. The 26-year-old influencer was immediately met with a lot of backlash after he ranted over a message he received from a woman who allegedly got laid off by Spirit Airlines 17,000 people lost their jobs last week when budget airline Spirit shut down all operations. One of those people sent a message to James with a GoFundMe link, asking for a donation after allegedly losing her job. James went on his backup TikTok account to share a video ranting about the message, calling the woman a “lazy piece of s–t” among other things. In a follow-up video on Saturday (May 9), amid much criticism, James posted an apology video. @jamescharleslol responding to the deleted spirit airlines video ?? ? original sound – James Charles Spam “Yesterday morning I posted a video on this account talking about how a woman had lost her job at Spirit Airlines and she sent me a message with a Gofundme link asking me to donate,” he began. “And the video is basically me yelling at the camera, being super upset and frustrated because this person had never followed me, never supported me before. And it was clear that she had basically copied and pasted this DM to every influencer and celebrity she possibly could asking for a handout. And I called her lazy, I said she was stupid, and I said she should have spent the time that she spent copying and pasting the message applying for jobs instead.” James Charles Says His Comments Were “Privileged” and “Unnecessary” This video was f–king stupid. It was rude, it was obnoxious, it was privileged, and most importantly, it was completely f–king unnecessary. When I saw that DM, I absolutely had the choice to ignore it and say absolutely nothing at all and move on with my day, but instead, I couldn’t even tell you why. Her message just triggered me, and I decided instead to make a video about it. And I bashed her, and it was obnoxious, and I shamed her for asking for help in a situation where she was clearly really struggling and this could have been her absolute last resort. “I have no idea what was going on in her life, and I should have never assumed that she was just copying and pasting this DM as an easy way out. I don’t know. I just don’t know. My intention behind making this video in the first place was I get a lot of messages like this every single day. And for me personally, it definitely sucks to receive messages from people that don’t follow you and don’t support you, treating you like a personal ATM or bank account,” he continued. “But what I’m sure sucks even f–king more is not knowing where your next paycheck is coming from and not being sure whether or not you’re gonna be able to put food on the table for yourself a
