It's not yet over.

Nine days after Tati Westbrook’s “Bye Sister” video started a controversy that has made for good daytime soap opera, James Charles releases “No More Lies.”

On the Coachella/SugarBear Hair controversy, he walks us through how feeling unsafe while in the music festival due the number of fans approaching him sent him into a panic to reach out to the vitamin brand. In exchange for private passes and security, he agreed to do a social media post for SugarBear Hair. Charles then shows how he immediately tried to reach out to Westbrook to explain what happened and why he promoted a brand that’s a competitor to Westbrook’s Halo Beauty.

Despite saying that these are messages are just a simple “Hello” or a compliment and nothing inappropriate, Charles says that he will no longer be sending out these messages seeing how some people find it too straightforward. He says that he’s also reached out to these boys and apologized to them. “Why is it okay for Zara Larsson, a woman with a public platform to tweet these photos of a shirtless man and say ‘Who are you?’ ‘Where do you live?’ ‘How old are you?’ ‘Why are you so fine?’ ‘How do you like your eggs cooked in the morning? but for me as a gay man to DM the person in private the same person with a simple compliment is predatory?”

His long conclusion to his video starts with him saying that making a video is his only way to reach out to his fellow YouTube vloggers like Jeffree Star. Charles says that Westbrook and the other parties involved have tried to reach out to him several times in private but that it was only fair that since all the damage was done publicly, then it was only fair he talks about his side publicly before any private meetings are set.
