Tati Westbrook Apology: From Shane Dawson's YouTube Getting Demonetised to Tati's 'BREAKING MY SILENCE' Video About Dawson and Jeffree Star Feeding Her 'Poisonous Lies' About James Charles, Drama in Beauty Community Gets Intense

A lot is going down between Tati Westbrook, James Charles, Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star. Right from Shane Dawson's YouTube channel getting demonetised to Tati making blasting revelations about how Star and Dawson "fed her poisonous lies" about James Charles, a lot of drama, accusations and controversy is taking place in the YouTube beauty world. It is also being said that Jeffree Star is allegedly part-owner of Morphe Cosmetics and benefitted from James Charles' and Tati Westbrooks' issues that went down last year. Star and Dawson's friendship bloomed through a YouTube series and they also worked on releasing an eyeshadow palette together, which would be distributed by Morphe and since Morphe decided to also release James Charles' palette around the same time and while Charles' dates were pushed further, it is now being said that Star and Dawson dis that on purpose.

"It's now my opinion that Jeffree and Shane were both bitterly jealous of James Charles' success. Jeffree resented that so much of his business was centred around his biggest rival and Shane did not like that James Charles wanted to make a documentary," Westbrook said in what she believes to be true. She said it is her perception "that Jeffree and Shane needed James marginalized and out of the way for their November launch of the Conspiracy palette, along with Shane's merch."

Last year, in May 2019 if you remember, Westbrook released a 43-minute video accusing Charles of using his fame to "manipulate someone’s sexuality," referring to straight men. While Charles denied the claims coming from someone he considered like "his mother" this charge in a video of his own, the narrative stayed that Charles was promoting a competitor of Westbrook. However, now Tati Westbrook has "broken her silence" and released a video claiming that Star and Dawson "fed her poisonous lies" about James Charles.

James, I am so sorry I allowed myself to be poisoned and weaponized against you." She also said, "Yes, I'm a grown woman. I'm smart. I can usually spot deceit and manipulation a mile away. But my guard was down from being heartbroken and I allowed my self to be worked by Shane, Jeffrey and others". Westbrook continued, "The moment that Jeffree went off on you the day before my first video collab with him went live, I should have run for the hills. I was naïve," Westbrook apologised saying, "Jackie I am sorry that I did not do the right thing and walk away from him then. I should have not been blind to the reasons behind the accusations of his racism." Watch video:
