Klein tweeted that he believes the claims of “desperation” are an excuse for something much more serious: Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein, hosts of the H3 podcast and vocal critics of Charles, have both responded to his apology with skepticism. So I actually don’t exactly get how someone would feel comfortable pursuing anyone who’s in their fanbase.” In a top-rated comment on the apology video, YouTuber Kat Blaque wrote, “TBH, any time I’ve ever been approached by a fan in a flirty manner, it makes me really really uncomfortable.
Many of his critics aren’t accepting that explanation. His explanation for the behavior, after some reflection, was simply that he is “desperate.” In his apology video, Charles described his behavior as reckless, and says that, despite initially wanting to defend himself, he realizes he was indeed at fault. Previously, he’s been accused of inappropriate comments and tweets, and of bragging about using his celebrity to coerce straight men into romantic relationships. It was an innocent enough start to an influencer career, but since then, he’s shot to YouTube stardom, gained 25.6 million subscribers, and faced repeated allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior. Now, brands are starting to sever their ties with him, with YouTube announcing this week that they will temporarily demonetize Charles’ channel.Ĭharles first gained the public’s attention in 2016, when his highlighter-heavy high-school yearbook photo went viral.

It’s worth noting that the video only came after Charles was replaced as the host of the YouTube TV show he co-created, “Instant Influencer,” and after he spent the entire month of March posting normally, with no acknowledgment of the accusations rapidly proliferating on TikTok and Twitter. “I fully understand my actions and how they were wrong,” he concludes.
He admits to having “engaged in a flirty conversation” with two 16-year-olds, once last year and once more recently - though he stands by his claim that in both situations, he was told that the other person was 18 and believed them. In the video, titled “holding myself accountable,” Charles shifts away from his former tactic of denying any wrongdoing, and instead says that after spending time “researching these topics” and self-reflecting, he realized that he (and only he) was to blame for the interactions.
