James Charles Faces New Accusations of Underage Pursuit

Allegations of Wrongdoing Against James Charles Resurface: A Brother's Account On May 14th, 2025, Kahlen Barry, brother of TikTok star Ethan Andrew, released a video detailing allegations against James Charles. The video alleges that Charles engaged in inappropriate behavior with Andrew when he was 14. Barry presented screenshots of explicit text messages and described Charles' attempts to fly Andrew to Los Angeles. This incident follows a 2020 situation where Andrew's videos detailing similar accusations were mysteriously removed from various online platforms. "James Charles pursued my underage brother," Barry stated in his video. "He sent explicit messages and tried to get him to come to LA." The video also shows screenshots of the messages, supporting the claims. The 2020 incident, where Andrew's accounts were reportedly banned while he was building his platform, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The reappearance of these allegations highlights concerns about online censorship and the accountability of influential figures. This situation underscores the need for greater protection for minors online and transparent mechanisms for addressing allegations of abuse by public figures.
