James Charles has denied defending Ondreaz Lopez. Lopes had been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old in June 2020. James Charles had tweeted about the allegations at the time.

Victims deserve to be heard & should NEVER be invalidated, but it’s INSANE that anonymous, newly made accounts are popping up with stories and people are just believing it!! With no proof at all?!? I am not defending anyone, but there are always two sides to every story.

In the past, Tati Westbrook had accused Charles of being a sexual predator. Charles went on to lose over one million subscribers on his YouTube channel following the accusations.

I made my video today NOT to start a war, but to take responsibility for my actions & clear my name. There ARE two sides to every story, & now you’ve heard both. I’m sure more will be said, but I’m moving on. You can form your opinions, but PLEASE do not send any hate to anyone.

Ondreaz Lopez is rumored to be legally represented by Lavely & Singer, the law firm that represented Bill Cosby and Bret Ratner.

Charles went to Twitter to criticize social media policies for encouraging the spread of false information.

Twitter users were quick to counter his statement with their own tweets.

I disagree, its restriction on freedom of speech.

There is no definite proof concerning everything that has transpired, with accusations tossed around like fresh salad. However, it must be noted that the Lopez brothers have a history of harassment in Las Vegas.

Yep. There are multiple cases in Los Angeles and Nevada.

Blast from the past: James vs Tati, Shane and Jeffree

In 2019, during a visit to the restaurant with James Charles, Tati Westbrook accused Charles of making sexual remarks about the waiter. This wad despite reminding Charles that the waiter might be straight.

James Charles stated that he's a celebrity; hence, the man's sexuality didn't matter.

I’m literally begging all of you. The internet has seen enough negativity in the last few weeks. Text your friends and tell them you love them. Give someone a compliment (but don’t be too forward)! Appreciate what you have and those around you. ❤️ love you all

James Charles then put out a video to clear his name. Tati Westbrook later stated that Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson instigated her by filling her head with plosion.

Charles also got called out for being a racist way back in 2017, when he Tweeted:

"I can't believe that we are going to Africa today, OMG what if we get ebola?"

He apologized soon after, but the damage was already done.

ACTUAL, GENUINE, apology as soon as physically possible. I have a million things in my head right now. I am sorry and want to fix it somehow
