James Charles and Tati Westbrook are two of the most popular YouTubers in the beauty community, and on Friday, a bitter war erupted between the two that shook their fans.
Westbrook seemingly ended her friendship with Charles in a 43-minute video titled "BYE SISTER ..." in which she said she was "completely blindsided" by Charles' decision to post an ad for a Sugar Bear Hair, which is a direct competitor to her brand of beauty vitamins. She also accused Charles of "manipulating someone's sexuality" by repeatedly going after straight men. Charles followed up with an apology video titled, "tati," though the future of their friendship remains unclear.
Here's a look at how Westbrook went from being "like a mother" to Charles to one of his biggest critics.
Tati Westbrook is a wildly popular YouTuber in the beauty community.
