James made an angry, since-deleted TikTok video claiming that a woman who lost her job at Spirit Airlines reached out in his DMs with a link to her GoFundMe, calling her “lazy” for asking for money. He since uploaded an apology video. Amber Lendof Vargas , a 30-year-old Boston Logan Airport operations agent, lost her job after Spirit Airlines shut down this month, as well as over 17,000 other people. According to a GoFundMe rep, Amber was the individual James was apparently talking about. Per a release from GoFundMe: When 30-year-old Boston Logan Airport operations agent Amber Lendof Vargas lost her job after Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down this month, she did what many of the airline’s 17,000 suddenly unemployed workers did: she reached out wherever she could for help. Beauty influencer James Charles responded by turning her private message into content, calling her lazy and entitled, and suggesting she simply “get another job.” The video sparked immediate backlash, and he later deleted it and apologized. Since then, the internet has rallied around Amber directly, pushing her GoFundMe past $12,000 in donations from more than 300 strangers, to cover rent, food, and bills while she job-searches. Here’s her GoFundMe description: Hi, my name is Amber , and I’m 30 years old. I’ve been working at Boston Logan Airport for the past couple of years as an operations agent. Recently, everything changed overnight when Spirit Airlines shut down operations, and I suddenly found myself unemployed with no warning. Like many others in aviation, I showed up every day, worked early mornings, long shifts, and gave everything I had to my job. I never expected to be in a position where I’d need to ask for help. Right now, I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet — applying for jobs, looking for new opportunities, and trying to stay positive — but the sudden loss of income has made it difficult to cover basic expenses like rent, food, and bills. I’m asking for support during this transition period while I work to secure a new job and regain stability Any donation, no matter how small, truly helps. And if you can’t donate, sharing this means just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give. Ex-Spirit Airlines Employee Raises Thousands After Viral TikTok Drama Amber ‘s GoFundMe has raised over $12,000 so far, including a $500 donation from Gypsy Rose , who left words of encouragement. “Hi, my name is Gypsy Rose Blanchard and I am an influencer on TikTok. I have 9.3 million followers and I’m truly sorry for what happened and I’m sending many positive vibes to you.” Amber has since shared what looks like the DM that originally caused James Charles to make the video, as well as a screenshot of an alleged donation
