A social media battle of mammoth proportions is playing out between leading millionaire beauty bloggers James Charles and Tati Westbrook.
The YouTube star Tati Westbrook has totally cut ties — in a 38 minute YouTube post — with the 19-year-old after he endorsed a vitamin company, Sleep Vitamins by SugarBearHair at Coachella, which is a direct competitor of her beauty brand, Halo Beauty.
The fight has caused YouTube megastar Charles to lose over 500,000 followers in less than 24 hours, reports news.com.au.
In a lengthy, down the barrel of the camera video, Westbrook at first explained the strong connection she had with Charles but then it quickly deteriorated into a serious 'I'm breaking up with you' moment. She levelled accusations of mistrust, inappropriate dinner party conversation, money and enflated ego at him, saying: "Get off your high horse and have some respect. You don't have any for the people who are in this industry and that's the sad fact."
Just another day in 'influencer' land, huh?
