Spirit Airlines worker exposes James Charles' grovelling apology after he told her to just 'get another job'

Celebrities already have a lot of work to do to prove to the public that they're not out of touch with reality and James Charles' recent video didn't do much to help that.

The YouTuber and make-up artist took to TikTok recently to criticise Amber Lendof Vargas, who had launched a GoFundMe after she was let go from her job at Spirit Airlines after the travel company shut down due to bankruptcy.

Millions of people across the world are struggling to pay their bills and losing a job can be devastating for those who don't have significant amounts of money to spare, something which many celebrities will never truly understand.

Vargas took a chance and sent a DM to Charles asking for his help but the YouTuber sadly took the opportunity to tear her down publicly.

He said: “I just got a DM from a girl on here that said, ‘Good morning James, I know you’ll never see this but if you could just take on minute to read it would really mean a lot to me. I’m really struggling right now because Spirit Airlines just filed for bankruptcy, and I just lost my job. Here’s a GoFuudMe link. Any donations help’.”

The American influencer added: "I’m sure they do, sweetheart, I’m sure they do. You know what else would help you? Getting another job. Try that, because in the time it took you to copy and paste the same f**k ass message to me, who you don’t follow by the way and to 100 other influencers and celebrities, you could’ve applied to a hundred other jobs because you’re a lazy piece of s**t and you’re entitled. Why would I ever help you?”

Now, if I play devil's advocate for just a second here, Charles might have had a point when it comes to people launching fundraisers for all sort of reasons right now, but he certainly didn't need to kick Vargas when she was down, even if it did inadvertently lead to her getting far more donations due to the attention its gathered as a result.

Unsurprisingly, Charles' aggressive approach saw him face a lot of criticism, and he quickly sent an apology message, which she has in turn publicly exposed.

He wrote: “Hi Amber. I wanted to reach out privately with an apology for the video I made. It was disgraceful and completely unnecessary, and there is no excuse for me yelling at and berating someone for asking for help in a s***ty situation that was completely out of your control.

“I’m so sorry for adding to what was already a distressing time, I’m so ashamed for not only the video, but also for being so disgustingly out of touch. I was sent your video today and was so glad to see your GoFundMe has exploded, but I also know that getting attention online can be scaring overwhelming, especially when you never asked for it in the first place.”

Despite the donation and the apology, Vargas made it clear in her video that she wouldn't be replying.

“He [James Charles] did message me. Here’s the screenshot and I don’t accept it [his apology],” she said. “Do I accept his apology? Hell no.”

Well, since the fundraiser has now reached a massive $40,000, it seems as if it's all worked out in the end, even if both parties had to suffer as a result.
