In May of 2019, the entire world was introduced to the growing epidemic of cancel culture. Tati Westbrook dropped her video "Bye Sister" accusing James Charles of not only being a bad friend, but she accused him of being a sexual predator as well. As James Charles continued to lose millions of subscribers in a matter of days, major media outlets were shocked at what was happening. Luckily, James Charles was able to clear his name, but the psychological damage was done.
We're living in a time where millions of people around the world aspire to be famous YouTubers, Twitch streamers, Tik Tok stars or Instagram influencers, but nobody is prepared for the possibility of being canceled. One of the main reasons cancel culture is such a problem is because nobody talks about it and does their best to move forward. It's like trauma victims just trying to forget and move on even though their story can help others.
In March, I was canceled. Aside from losing 20,000 subscribers and being financially ruined, my reputation was destroyed. After months of therapy and realizing that this is something we need to talk about, I decided to finally be completely honest about my experience. For months now, I've been protecting many big YouTubers who were involved with this by not sharing their secrets because I don't want anyone to go through what I've been through, but all of that has changed.
I'm finally breaking my silence and am going to share the whole truth for the first time ever in my book titled Canceled coming out Friday, July 19th.
