According to AOL Entertainment, James filmed himself FaceTiming several famous friends—including JoJo Siwa, Lil Nas X, Iggy Azalea, and Bebe Rexha—only to quickly tell them he was busy and hang up. The true star moment was when he pulled the prank on Kim Kardashian herself, who immediately called out James on his “TikTok scam.” Charles managed to briefly fool Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, as part of this lighthearted exchange that quickly made the rounds and trended heavily, showing James’s enduring ability to create buzz in the celebrity world.Aside from this, there have been no major new scandals, though James Charles remains an influencer very much shaped by past controversies. As summarized in a recent Bored Panda analysis, despite maintaining over 20 million Instagram followers and continuing to post regularly, his viewership and broad public perception have yet to recover from a series of scandals that peaked in 2021. These included high-profile allegations of inappropriate online behavior with minors, which resulted in losing key business partnerships such as with Morphe and a temporary demonetization of his YouTube channel. Even though some earlier allegations were later recanted and attributed to manipulation by drama influencers Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star, the stain on his reputation persists. There have been no new verified allegations or legal matters involving James in the past few days.On the creative front, James remains active. Bored Panda points out that he continues sharing his makeup art on social media, albeit to a more modest but still significant audience. Instagram analytics for September 2025 show he has about 20.2 million followers, with strong engagement and monthly estimated earnings between $48,000 and $66,000, according to HypeAuditor. This underscores that while his core fame has cooled, he remains a commercially viable social media figure.In the past forty-eight hours, there have been no breaking headlines involving business launches or major public appearances beyond his social media activity, and no fresh controversies reported by reliable news outlets. The narrative remains focused on his viral pranks, steady creative output, and the long aftershocks of his prior career ups and downs.Thank you for listening to this episode of James Charles Biography Flash.
