What’s up you guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr.
here with Clevver News and James Charles went
after Lauren Conrad for launching her own
beauty brand, then he apologized and now Lauren
is clapping back!
Just a few weeks ago, James called out Alicia
Keyes for launching her own beauty line with
a subtweet that read, QUOTE; “People who
do not wear makeup should not be coming out
with makeup brands but that’s just my opinion.”
After James was called out, he released a
lengthy apology saying, QUOTE;
“Yesterday, I posted a subtweet about how
I thought some celebrities shouldn't launch
makeup lines.
It was about @aliciakeys.
A few years ago, she announced that she no
longer would wear makeup, so I was bothered
because many celebrities come into the beauty
space as a cash grab without any actual passion
and then leave.
I deleted the tweet after a few mins because
it's childish to indirect tweet someone & I
am not the gatekeeper of makeup.
Anyone should be able to secure their bag
and it's not up to me which brands people
should or shouldn't support.”
He added, “This was my mistake and I should've
read more before tweeting because literally
who BETTER to talk about keeping your skin
clear without makeup?
Regardless of my intention with my tweet,
it ended up being a microaggression against
someone I respect, so to @aliciakeys I owe
a direct apology—I'm sorry.
It wasn't my place to gatekeep this industry.
I can't wait to support and try out the products,
and I know the brand will be worth a billion
in a few years."
Despite that apology just two weeks ago, James
attacked another celeb and their makeup line,
this time going after Lauren Conrad.
“I just opened a PR package from a ‘new
makeup brand’ from somebody who has no business
having a makeup brand.
And I just wanted to show you guys some of
these products, okay?
This is the liquid highlighter that I just
opened up.
Notice anything weird about it?
There’s no highlighter in there.
Nor is there a cap.
And it’s not even sealed.
Like I actually just received this, this piece
of plastic in a PR box.”
Despite not mentioning her by name, James
was pretty harsh, emphasizing that Lauren
shouldn’t be in the makeup business.
“Stop making makeup brands.
Stop, stop stop!”
Ouch.
Lauren obviously caught wind of this and explained
the whole situation, saying, QUOTE; “For
those asking about the empty components sent
to James…
Let me tell you a fun story.
The woman who put together the gifts (it was
me) decided to fill a makeup bag full of empty
samples to make sure everything would fit
inside.
When the beauty products arrived and it was
time to fill all the makeup bags, she (again,
me) accidentally included the bag full of
empties with the others and it was sent out.
She will be let go immediately.”
Once again, James issued an apology, writing,
QUOTE;
“I’ve been on the verge of tears all day
long from a ton of things going wrong and
opening her PR package was the icing on the
cake of weird things happening today.
My Stories talking about the products were
supposed to be funny but they just came across
as nasty because I was so upset, not with
her, but with other things that happened today.
Lauren and I spoke privately about the misunderstanding
& are both good."
Well I’m glad they talked it out and it
was all a misunderstanding, but maybe talk
first before posting to socials next time.
Just a thought.
