YouTube star James Charles is once again making waves on social media, this time by posting a naked selfie on Twitter, which quickly became a trending topic.
While some fans were quick to compliment the bold move, others were less impressed, suggesting that the makeup artist might be seeking attention and expressing their displeasure at finding his nude photo in their feeds.
This isn’t the first time Charles has shared such revealing photos. Last year, after his accounts were hacked and the culprits threatened to leak a nude photo of him, Charles took matters into his own hands by posting the photo himself. This led some to speculate that the entire incident was nothing more than a publicity stunt.
James Charles first shot to fame through his makeup tutorials on YouTube, and at just seventeen, he made history in 2017 by becoming the first male face of the makeup brand CoverGirl. However, his rise to stardom hasn’t been without controversy, including accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior.
One of the most significant blows to his career came last year when his former mentor, Tati Westbrook, posted a video criticizing his behavior. In the aftermath, Charles’ YouTube channel lost over a million subscribers in just 24 hours.
Despite the ups and downs, Charles continues to push forward. Today, he was seen soaking up the sun, making sure to avoid any tan lines, while his latest project — a YouTube competition series called *Instant Influencer* — continues to gain attention. The show, which is similar in style to *Project Runway*, features six aspiring makeup YouTubers competing to become the next big social media influencer. Judged by James Charles, Paris Hilton, and Norvina, the series has become a hit among fans of the beauty community.
