In a new video, beauty guru James Charles addressed numerous allegations on social media that he flirted or sexted with minors. "I was being reckless," he said, acknowledging that at least some of the interactions were authentic. "These conversations should have never happened."
Over the last month, multiple boys who were seemingly under the age of 18 made public social media posts alleging that Charles solicited nude photographs from them, sent them explicit photos, or sent sexually explicit messages.
Charles responded to at least one allegation, claiming that he was deceived about the individual's age – a claim that he stuck to in his most recent video. "I trusted the information that was given to me rather than the information I could have and should have gotten myself," Charles said, referencing previous videos made by some of the accusers that showed that they were minors.
