Vlogger Tati Westbrook is reaping the rewards of canceling her former friend James Charles — and cynically invoking anti-gay stereotypes to make her case.
, Gomez had told him he was bicurious before the festival; they discussed the possibility of Gomez coming to Coachella to explore their feelings, which he then did. But Charles felt used when Gomez wasn’t romantically interested in him, and took to social media, punitively using his platform to call Gomez a con man for leading him on just to get a free Coachella trip.
In her breakup video, Westbrook alluded to the Gomez debacle as being part of a pattern, and also referenced the “situation that happened in Seattle on my birthday, which literally made me want to vomit.” This supposedly appalling misdeed, as she described it, involved Charles trying to “trick a straight man into thinking he’s gay yet again, and somehow you’re the victim.”
“Cracking someone’s sexuality is not an escape room; this is shit that will follow them the rest of their life,” she says — painting Charles as a gay predator preying on younger boys who are still “finding” themselves, activating an old-school straight panic about gay men “converting” boys.
