Background: To those who don't know, Shane is kind of like the dad of the YouTube community. He's one of the OG YouTubers, and a number of "newer" influencers, like James, look to him as a mentor of sorts. They have appeared together in videos, but it's worth noting this tweet which could be part of the reasoning behind the unfollow. (FYI: Shane unfollowed James on Twitter but still follows him on Instagram!)<doc-sep>It is all kicking off in the YouTube world right now. Everyone is talking about James Charles and Tati Westbrook – and there are now a bunch of celebrities who unfollowed James Charles because of the drama. In case you've missed it, Tati Westbrook called out James Charles over the weekend. She posted a 43-minute video, titled "BYE SISTER", on her YouTube channel, accusing James of "disgusting behaviour" and lying about endorsement deals – which included promoting a vitamin product that was a direct competitor for her own brand. Both James Charles and Tati Westbrook are beauty vloggers and are huge within that community – James in particular is a breakout star. Last week he boasted 16 million subscribers. His videos feature make-up tutorials, challenges, and vlogs. But now, his following is rapidly decreasing – he lost 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel over the weekend. Among those unfollowers are A LOT of celebrities. Here's the full list of big names that have unfollowed James Charles after the Tati Westbrook drama. Here are the celebrities who unfollowed James Charles: Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner was one of the first celebrities who unfollowed James Charles after Tati Westbrook released her YouTube video. Kylie has previously collaborated with James on a YouTube video on his channel. Kim Kardashian West Kylie's sister Kim unfollowed James Charles shortly after. This means none of the Kardashians or Jenners follow James anymore. Kim had also featured in videos alongside James on his channel, and he has posted photos of them together on his Instagram calling her his "sister". Demi Lovato Demi Lovato is another celebrity that has unfollowed James Charles despite them sharing pictures together previously. Comments on the picture, on James' Instagram, now include: "Pls remove this photo, she unfollowed you?" and "She definitely said bye sisters". Awkward. Ariana Grande Ariana Grande's social medias are all about good vibes, so it's no wonder she's seen all this tea and removed it from her timeline. Jeffree Star Jeffree Star is probably living for this beef, because James’ drop in subscribers means Jeffree is the most subscribed beauty YouTuber. He congratulated Tati Westbrook for hitting six million subscribers the day after her video was uploaded and tweeted: "The truth always tastes better than a lie." HUGE congratulations to the makeup queen @GlamLifeGuru on hitting 6 MILLION subscribers on YouTube today!!! ?? You are one of a kind. pic.twitter.com/zXQOSjSIUQ — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 10, 2019 Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus doesn't have any ties to James Charles – but she's still unfollowed him after the drama. Katy Perry Another one of the celebrities who unfollowed James Charles is Katy Perry. She silently pressed the unfollow button on the beauty blogger. Shawn Mendes Shawn Mendes has so much going on with his Calvin Klein campaign right now, he doesn't need petty YouTuber drama. You keep doing you, Shawn. Iggy Azalea Another one of the celebrities who unfollowed James Charles is Iggy Azalea. This is despite one of her recent Instagrams being captioned: "Tried to use the @jamescharles palette on live today and it almost ended in tragedy! Buuuuut everyone pulled thru & just like that – a beauty guru has been born ?". Awkward!! ! Shane Dawson Shane is a fellow YouTuber, and has collaborated in videos with James in the past. However it looks like that is a thing of the past, as he has unfollowed James too. Shane is also friends with Tati Westbrook. He posted on his Instagram two weeks ago a photo of them together, captioned: "I was trying to think of a funny caption but nothing seems right because of what this person means to me. Tati is someone who I’ve known about for years but who I just started really watching in the last few months because of my research on the beauty world. Since watching her I’ve had this insane connection to her and her videos have helped me so much, not just with makeup but with my anxiety and with my stress. I’ve had a lot of hard things happen in the last few months and being able to turn on one of her videos at night and hear her calming voice has been really healing for me. Tati, thank you for everything you do and thank you for being just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the out. Meeting you was something I will never forget. Love you :,) ❤️". Looks like he has picked his side! ! Laura Lee Another unfollow came from disgraced YouTuber Laura Lee. She seems to be taking the moral high-ground this time, but let's not forget when her racist tweets were found in 2012. The Dolan Twins Greyson and Ethan Dolan, known as the Dolan twins, were previously friends with James Charles and have been in videos with him. However, the fellow YouTubers have now unfollowed him too.

Kylie Jenner and Shawn Mendes are just two celebs who are among the millions of people deserting him. Kylie Jenner’s done it. Kim Kardashian has done it, and so has Shawn Mendes. These celebs are just three stars who have unfollowed YouTube beauty personality James Charles on social media mere days after fellow influencer Tati Westbrook, 37, released a May 10 video lambasting her former friend. In the 43-minute long YouTube video, the makeup lover accused her 19-year-old mentee of betraying her by promoting a rival beauty product and allegedly hitting on straight men. The fallout has been so intense that even some of James’s celeb supporters are joining millions of former fans in deserting him. On May 6, the teen was rubbing shoulders with billionaire beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, 21, at the Met Gala in New York. By May 13 – the woman who featured in one of his YouTube beauty tutorials in October 2018 – had unfollowed him on Instagram. Kylie’s older sister Kim Kardashian, 38 – who also appeared in one of James’s YouTube videos, also kissed goodbye to their online friendship. Meanwhile, while Miley Cyrus may still follow James on Twitter (as of May 13), she is no longer following him on Instagram. Katy Perry, 34, is another celeb who has unfollowed James, which is particularly stinging given that they’ve both been the face of CoverGirl. In October 2016 she posted a photo of them beaming from ear to ear on her Instagram page. The pic was taken on the set of a CoverGirl shoot and Katy wrote that she was “honored to have the pleasure to announce” James as the “very first COVERBOY.” Someone else who has distanced himself from James is Shawn Mendes. The 20-year-old and the teen exchanged DMs and tweets in October 2018 after James apologized to the “In My Blood” singer for responding to an Instagram Live video of him juggling balls. James commented, “Can you juggle me like that?” before Shawn quickly ended the livestream. James later tweeted an apology saying he was “upset, embarrassed, and sorry” if the pop star “felt sexually harassed.” Shawn sent him a direct message to say that the comment didn’t make him feel “uncomfortable.” Following this scandal, however, Shawn is no longer following James on social media. Other stars who have waved goodbye to James include Demi Lovato and fellow YouTube stars, The Dolan Twins. As of May 13, James has lost 3 million YouTube followers since Tati’s “Bye Sister” video was uploaded.<doc-sep>YouTube star James Charles has been “#cancelled” by some of his biggest supporters. The beauty guru has lost three million subscribers (and counting) since his ex-best friend and fellow YouTuber, Tati Westbrook, posted a video titled “BYE SISTER” on Friday, in which she accused the “19-year-old millionaire” of betraying her and using his fame to manipulate straight men. Here’s a full list of the celebrities who have unfollowed the beauty guru since she dropped the 43-minute bomb. Get push notifications with news, features and more. The Kar-Jenner Sisters Kylie Jenner, who appeared on Charles’ YouTube channel for a makeup video last year, was one the first big name celebrities to unfollow the 19-year-old influencer. Soon after, sister Kim Kardashian did the same, although she’s worked with Charles on several different beauty-related projects, including a YouTube video to promote KKW Beauty. Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian never followed Charles. And, given the circumstances, that probably won’t change anytime soon. kylie-jenner-james-charles Credit: Courtesy James Charles/YouTube The beauty guru and this pop princess have had their fair share of public drama. Charles caused an uproar when he outed Grande as being the rudest celebrity he’s ever met in a Youtube video earlier this year (according to Charles, it all started when Grande unfollowed him to make her fans happy). Grande and Charles seemingly squashed their beef when she re-followed him. This weekend, she unfollowed him for the second time. Iggy Azalea Charles made-over Azalea for a YouTube video just two months ago. They chatted candidly about music, makeup, haters and much more, but that didn’t stop the rapper from unofficially declaring herself #TeamTati by swiftly unfollowing Charles. Aside from their selfie, which Charles posted to Instagram in December 2018 with the caption “Just a quick Saturday glam”, these two don’t have much history (that we know of). Regardless, she also unfollowed him after Westbrook’s video. Jeffree Star After Westbrook’s video dropped, the Internet eagerly awaited Star’s response (as he’s a close friend of both Westbrook and Charles). And, in true Jeffree Star fashion, he did, in fact, spill the tea in a series of juicy tweets. Star even called Charles a “pedophile” and revealed that he was previously banned from his Calabasas mansion. Star’s career has not been scandal free. The makeup vlogger has been involved in his own Twitter feuds, most famously with ex-BFF Kat Von D. And in 2017, a series of 12-year-old videos resurfaced from his MySpace, showing Star, then 19, saying offensive racist comments that had many of his fans (and haters) in an uproar. But instead of jumping to defend himself, which he’s done many times in the past, the YouTuber shared an emotional apology video. Shawn Mendes Mendes was among Charles’ most famous followers — despite the fact that the beauty guru received massive backlash for making sexually explicit comments under the singer’s Instagram photos in the past, which at the time Mendes said made him “laugh.” But Mendes has since unfollowed Charles, and screenshots of the thirsty comments have resurfaced online.<doc-sep>

James has since lost over three million subscribers on YouTube, and over one million on Instagram, with Metro claiming a number of celebrity faces had pressed the unfollow button since the story unfolded. The Kardashian-Jenners YouTube Kylie Jenner, who has previously collaborated with James on a YouTube video on his channel, was one of the first to unfollow the influencer, with sister Kim Kardashian following closely behind.

Demi Lovato in December 2018, James shared a photo alongside Demi Lovato with the caption, "Just a quick Saturday glam", surprising friends with their unlikely friendship. Only, er, maybe not anymore, as Demi fails to follow James right now.
