James Charles Demonitized on YouTube, Lost Brand Deals And Fans Amid Latest Scandal

James Charles' YouTube channel has reportedly been removed from their Partner Program, restricting him from gaining money from the platform.

According to a statement released to Insider, Charles' channel, which has over 25.5 million subscribers, applied its "creator responsibility policy," which says, "If we see that a creator's on-and/or off-platform behavior harms our users, community, employees or ecosystem, we may take action to protect the community."

YouTube didn't say how long they will demonetize James Charles' channel.

The statement says that the platform will take action against creators who intentionally cause "malicious harm to others," including those who cause "real world harm," whether it be abuse or violence, cruelty, or deceptive or fraudulent behavior.

This comes after allegations that James Charles has been sending explicit messages to minors on their social media, with several individuals coming forward with their stories.

Even the influencer made a video regarding the allegations, taking accountability for his actions.

He said in his video titled "holding myself accountable," "I need to take accountability for my actions and most importantly to apologize to the people who were hurt by them."

He continued that he should've verified who he was talking to and that he wouldn't be blaming his victims other than himself. Charles also stated in a tweet after his video was published, people come forward with allegations that were not true and that he would take legal action against them.
