James Charles feuds with another YouTuber over Netflix documentary. There has been a LOT of drama on the beauty side of YouTube over the past couple of months. It seems we can’t go a day without someone’s racist past being exposed, or someone exposing a YouTuber’s shady behaviour.

One of the biggest – and outspoken – members of the beauty community is James Charles.

Following the MannyMUA/Laura Lee/Gabriel Zamora/ Jeffree Star drama a few weeks ago, and the success of Shane Dawson’s recent docu series, James tweeted that he wanted to work on a documentary exposing the truth about the beauty community.

However, he recently revealed that the project had to be put on hold.

YouTuber/Makeup Geek owner Marlena Stell announced this week that she is filming a documentary with Netflix all about the beauty industry…and it’s fair to say that James is not happy.

He tweeted: “This woman knows nothing about the industry other than blaming her bad business decisions and personal issues on influencers. @Netflix This is absurd & I’d love to get in a room together to show you the non-bias outline I’ve already made on this subject that documents all sides.”

“I posted about my documentary several months ago. There’s no denying that you’ve paved the way for many people over the past 10+ years, but you also discredited every single influencer who’s changing WITH the industry in your video that you released due to personal feelings.”

Marlena defended herself, saying that Netflix were the ones to approach her and that she would love to have James’ input.

But things turned ugly, with Marlena hinting that Netflix chose her because she is more experienced.

She tweeted: “James you’re not even 21 years old, you’ve never produced makeup, you’ve never started a brand from the ground up. I’m sorry this feels like it was stolen but I did not seek out this opportunity. When you’ve been in this industry for 10+ years then tell us about your “experience”

James seemingly ended their beef with a shady tweet.

“You’re right, I’m not even 21 yet. :)”

Marlena make a video about her truth on the beauty community, saying that there are certain influencers who charge up to $65k for sponsored videos. Some influencers, like James, have tried to justify this by saying they profits the company make will balance out the costs.

Fans have speculated that James is one of those influencers charging $65k, to which Marlena responded.

“He charges much more than that…some don’t realize CEO’s talk to each other too”

James cleared up all the tweets, saying he’s open to sitting down with Marlena and talking about the beauty industry.

There’s so much drama, it’s hard to keep up.
