Cosmopolitan and the predator puff piece (James Charles interview reaction)

James Charles, a popular beauty YouTuber with over 20 million subscribers, is facing backlash after a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine where he discussed his grooming scandal in April 2021, during which he admitted sending inappropriate messages to two 16-year-old boys when he was 21, but claimed that he did not know their real ages. The interview, which was published in July 2023 and conducted by journalist Gabriella Bluestone, coincided with the launch of his new makeup line, Painted. The interview and the makeup line have received mixed reactions from the internet, with some people supporting him and others criticizing him. Some people accused him of lying and playing the victim, while others praised him for being honest and taking responsibility. Some people expressed their excitement for his new makeup line, while others said that they would not buy his products or forgive him. Additionally, criticism has been thrown at Cosmpolitan for giving him such a platform where he is painted in a good light.
