James Charles Apologizes For Roasting Person Who Asked Him For Money

James Charles says he shouldn’t have hit out at a desperate person asking for help … admitting he let his privilege get to him in a vulnerable mea culpa.

Here’s the deal … on Friday, James posted a video in which he described a DM he got from someone who said they were laid off from Spirit Airlines and needed some money.

In the video, the influencer tells this person to go get a job — not to copy and paste a DM to different celebs asking for a handout.

In the apology, Charles is much calmer … admitting he doesn’t know why this message triggered him so much.

He says he knows he got lucky when he blew up from his makeup tutorials … which allows him a certain freedom many others don’t have — and he never should’ve used that to insult this woman asking for help.

In fact, Charles says he knows friends who are desperately searching for work … and, he says he shouldn’t have made it seem job opportunities are growing on trees.
