James Charles is coming under fire for some “predatory” behavior.
The popular makeup vlogger is being called out by a supposed high school classmate for allegedly catfishing their soccer team at the time in order to get “d**k pics.”
This all came out in response to an April 29 YouTube video posted by model Gage Gomez, who was spotted at Coachella with James, which sparked relationship rumors, where the model claimed the social media star was trying to “manipulate” him.

After one report came out detailing how Gage opened up about feeling pressured to do things he said he wasn’t comfortable doing, one Twitter user claiming to be a classmate wrote:
“Throwback to when James Charles catfished the entire soccer team in high school pretending to be a girl so he could get dick pics, so glad to know he’s still predatory!!!”

And the tweeter continued in a thread, adding that she didn’t know the teen well, but supposedly the “entire school” knew him as a “bully and predator”:
There’s a lot of people asking me for “tea” on James Charles, but I don’t really have any. I went to high school with james charles, I don’t know him well but he was in one of my classes and has always been a bully and a predator. This was something that my entire school knew –

– about among other things he did such as bullying other students with his instagram account right when it started to get a big following. I don't want to "expose" him because I don't have enough information to do so but everybody I know has been trying to speak up for years now-

– and it's only now that a tweet went viral that you're all listening. I hope that people finally do start to listen and take what he’s doing seriously.

In case you didn’t hear about the drama Gomez posted about in his YT video, he shared how the influencer knew he was straight, but still decided to pursue him:
“James saw this as an opportunity to manipulate me as a person who may or may not have been trying to figure things out about their sexuality, after the fact that I told him I was straight multiple times. Because as you all know, this person, 99.9 maybe 100 percent of the time goes after heterosexual men.”
And added about the 19-year-old choosing to “lead himself on”:
“He’s not stupid, he’s not an idiot, he knows he’s going after straight boys. And he just continues to lead himself on. He was aware about how I felt about him. He constantly kept telling me while we were hanging out at Coachella that he appreciated that I was always 100 percent honest with him. If I was ever a little vague, I was never telling him what he wanted to hear and I was never lying to him. It was just always how I felt at the time and he knew that. So he was aware about how I felt about him and he still pursued this action.”
Things got uncomfortable for the model though, who says he was feeling pressured to do things:
“There were some parts where I guess he was not sure how I was feeling, even though I was telling him the whole time I wasn’t into, I guess you could say, experimenting at that time. He proceeded to get extremely upset with me because of that and kind of tried to play his emotions and push [them] onto me to kind of guilt me into trying something that I didn’t want to do.”
Lastly, Gomez confessed about his interaction with Charles:
“I was blocked and unblocked multiple times because I wouldn’t reply to his Snapchat right away. Or I wouldn’t respond to his DM right away. Or I wouldn’t pick up a FaceTime call. What’s interesting is that these influences are chasing clout all the time. They’re all loud when it’s drama, but only when it’s amongst themselves because it generates the views and the engagement, but when it comes to someone like me — a normal person who isn’t an influencer or public figure or anything like that — they couldn’t be truthful.”
