[@NeshaBoo21]

As a black woman who had had Tatis notifications on and was a fan way before all of this. One thing I thoroughly remember turning me off about her was when her audience warned her about Jeffree Star and his track record, she defended him and got onto her audience then continued to be friends with him. While in some ways I care about her, I don't necessarily feel bad for her with how things turned out. You'd been told about how terrible this dude can be, especially his racist past. This probably wasn't too far from the time he called Jackie Aina a gorilla 😭 That man is documented to be nasty so you can't be confused when he is towards you too

[@aangranaa5352]

Absolutely true, that’s a good point.

[@maplesyruppp]

This is true, but as someone who has been friends with people my other friends saw as terrible and warned me about, I understand the struggle. When you see them as your friends, you naturally defend them, hoping others will see what you see. It’s tough, and it takes time to move past that and see them for who they truly are.

[@anitaspinucci]

Right! Did you also notice how- around 2018 when she was in deep with James and Jeffree- she started acting like a high schooler? It completely grossed me out and I had been a Tati stan for years!

[@NeshaBoo21]

@@maplesyruppp while that's true she had so much of her audience telling her how racist/terrible he was and it felt like it didn't matter to her as long as he wasn't hurting her. I feel like she would be friends with him to this day if he hadn't had screwed her over regardless of what he had done to anybody else. Instead of listening to your audience telling you someone is a deplorable person you sit there and get mad at them instead there's really no excuse for that. Like she legit tried making her audience feel bad for judging him. But also as social media figures she has the added benefit of looking him up and seeing his actions. Whereas you and other people do not have the same benefits. You can't just look up your friends and figure out if there are past and current controversies

I don’t think it was that they tunnel visioned on to her. I think they were into networking and crew building, and she wasn’t. So they did pursue her, but they are the type to try and tap connections all the time. Tati has been very true to herself throughout her career. She’s not pivoting to every little thing. I never saw how anyone could side with James. He’s a clout clown

[@Whiskin87]

Speaking as someone who wasn’t on KZbin when this happened, doesn’t follow any of these people, and has absolutely no stake in this, I think Jeffree Star orchestrated a lot of this drama. Feeding people tidbits, whispering in ears, and making drama bigger to get attention for himself. He’s never been one to avoid bad press. He revels in it.

[@krisb933]

as someone who watched it unfold from the beginning and watched every video involved, I believe you are correct…

[@eligreene2898]

As another person who watched during I can also say you are correct.

[@alexandrite61]

Oh he for sure was doing this. Even publicly he's always sticking his nose into other people's drama and inserting opinion where not needed for views and to promo his brand. It wouldn't be that farfetched that he was crafting narratives behind the scene. The only thing that surprises me is why anyone would believe him in the first place. Even before this whole thing he already had a long history of being shady.

[@possiblychey]

I remember being like 11-12 yrs old when he released the “Beauty Killer” album. I remember finding out about Jeffree’s past when I was like 13. Guess what? He’s always been this way. Tati should have known tbh. If a 13 yr old can see how awful someone is, a grown woman can too.

I was in my econ class as a senior in high school when tati dropped "bye sister." My friends and I convinced our teacher to give us a free period so we could watch it. Now im halfway through my masters degree... oh how time flies 😢

[@baby_ghoul]

She didn't really say anything new. When someone victimizes themselves and refuses to take accountability in a situation they played a major role in, I don't think they have anything valuable to say on the situation. We already heard this story in 2020. Not only was she warned about Jeffree by everyone, including her subscribers, she posted Bye Sister because she was slighted. That was her primary motivation, and until she owns that I don't see a reason to follow her, especially as she leans into the crunchy scene.

[@ASMRyoukidding]

100% I agree with this. She only cared they might be bad people once it effected her. She's so transparent 🙄

I think that Tati was not an innocent lamb in all of this, I think that she was definitely getting something from being associated with James Charles. However, I think that she is someone who is quite easily swayed. I know people who are very much like this. They will be so convinced about someone and something; then someone else with a stronger personality comes along and what they believe at first, no they never believed that. So, Tati has always struck me as being a little bit like that. You said weak, but I think easily swayed works better for this situation. Easily manipulated, easily swayed, and maybe doesn't have a good support system. I feel for Tati in ways, because it sucks to be misled. I love that she brought us all this drama though! I think that Tati may end up in a cult! If she's easily persuaded, why not?

[@shyranhilaw4352]

I agree. She isn’t the innocent lamb. The first video I saw of her trying to expose everyone she just cried crocodile tears the entire time and took no accountability. She was associated with them for a reason. Like why be close with people if they’re the only ones benefitting?

[@pinkblossom1516]

I agree i mean she started all the drama because he shared another vitamins brand , she was using him

[@midgelionhart]

I think she is easily swayed if what she says about sunscreen being bad is true.. thats dumb shet af

[@virvewirllos]

In the follow up she did after the whole dramagedon, she did say she confided in Shane that she had been sexually assaulted, and from the timeline of events it seems like it was shortly after when Jeffree started dripfeeding her stuff about James Charles and they sent her that audio of something that obviously left her very distraught. The tipping point was probably out of pettiness from the gummies but I think it was just a matter of time until she blew things open after that audio. It seems to me like she thought she was doing James a solid by keeping quiet about his behaviour because in her mind James owed her some loyalty as her "protegee", but (besides it obviously being very scummy to cover for alleged sexual crimes if the perpetrator is your friend) it was obviously a very delusional way of seeing their relationship and he would've made her go off eventually.

[@anitaspinucci]

There’s a bunch of people commenting how Tati slayed this interview but all I see is a grown woman who still refuses to take responsibility for her actions 5 years ago. Because what does she mean ‘they pursued me’ and ‘I was so innocent and boring’? She was grown then, too!

[@shyras_]

I feel like she trusted people and was trying to show kindness and support to James - since he wasn’t close to family. He was obviously wanting her support and mentorship, and she wanted to a good thing for someone else. And then it blew up in her face.

[@anitaspinucci]

[@OhItsNekoAgain]

I'll be honest, I sometimes get videos from Tati in my recommended and when I watch them, I can't help but wish the best for her. Her videos feel really normal, she's just talking about her life and make up and is not an overbearing TikTok Advert person that I feel like many of the big beauty gurus of that time became. Considering she has just been existing and considering Mr. Insert-Himself-Everywhere, Mr. Allegedly-DMing-Minors and Mr. Did-Something-To-A-Cat have been not talked about nicely and have involved themselves in minor dramas or straight up illegal activity says a lot. Her being spiritual is literally the LEAST shocking thing of all of that, ngl, I might also join a cult if the entire internet had it out for me. And I will die on the hill that Tati was just a scapegoat for certain indiviuals taking out a competitor they didn't want to be involved with anymore. Tati was a pawn and had to tank all the damage from that. Things you do for money, associating with people like them. The fact that she was demonized and JC and JS and SD got away...5 years later I am now old enough to see that there was misogyny playing a role, but who am I, just a witness to things that don't effect me.

I really relate to what you were saying in the beginning about having a hard time going from wanting to film to actually turning on the camera and filming. I have a very hard time with "transitions" and executive function, going from one mode to another. Even if it's as simple as " I want to get up and get a snack bar" to actually getting up and getting a snack bar. I have ADHD, and this is definitely a part of why I struggle with this the way I do. (It's really common for us with ADHD to have difficulty with executive disfunction, demand avoidance etc. but also that can happen with anyone's brain with or without ADHD) so if you want advice or some tips and tricks on how to approach that executive disfunction, ADHD reddit and tiktok can be madly helpful. The tricks are helpful quite often for anyone, not just people who had ADHD or a similar type experience to ADHD.

[@GrungeGalactica]

Out of all those beauty gurus of 2016 onwards, (even tho I don’t watch her anymore cause I’ve found creators like Robert Welsh that I prefer) I still have a soft spot for tati, her channel was my first real introduction into beauty so I’m bias. Certain types of people can be manipulative even at 17yo, look at that group of 14yo UK kids k1lling an old non white guy walking his dog! it’s hopefully extremely rare ofc and we should always believe & hear out the victim/child, but there will always be anomalies that we realise in hindsight once they continue to do worse sh1t into adulthood. Like in true crime cases for example where they show signs even in childhood that something wasn’t right. I also believe people can be manipulated at any age. Look at all the different age demographics that fall for scams. Tati was in her mid 30’s at the time yes, but why would she initially be suspicious that supporting a child’s career and taking them under her motherly wing would be her downfall? It’s heartbreaking that she’s always wanted to be a mum and she wanted to mentor this talented driven kid, in a non creepy way (I hope) and it blew up in her face. I know she is also very religious/spiritual so I can see her falling for Jeffrey’s “I’ve changed/I’m just misunderstood please use your untarnished name to vouch for me tati 🥺” or whatever he told her. All I’m saying is: out of everyone involved in that bye sister thing, Tati faced the worst long term backlash when she was the least deserving out of all of them. I blame misogyny, we hold women to ridiculously high standards while we let men f up again and again with little to no consequences.

I totally remember Katie Joy making wild accusations about Tati Westbrook’s husband James. Especially when she said he’d taken advantage of his mom’s death for money and that they took her ring and used it for Tati’s engagement ring. Now Tati doesn’t have it. I wonder if all that information was coming from James Westbrook ex friend and business partner?

Ran to this when the notif came in

Spiraling into craziness is a consequence of spirituality. Bc people turn to it out of desperation when they have no control over their life. Or they feel like they're losing control over their lives. And they need some higher power to take the wheel and give them all answers to the universe. Instead of taking a break and taking care of yourself before trying to fix your problems. The amount of times this happens with influencrs, celebrities who "turn to god" after a controversy and even CRIMINALS who do the same thing after going to prison, is astounding yet not surprising

Not angelika treating bye sister as her 9/11 😭😭

[@SilverWings733]

I don't think Tati wanted or saw James Charles as a friend. It was more like a Mentor / Student friendship. He even called her, Mom.

[@love.lauren...]

regarding your intro of having to bargain with yourself and count down 3, 2, 1 to try and be able to do things, I've always been that way and I JUST got diagnosed with ADHD at 25 years old haha (obviously not trying to diagnose you but there's a possibility)

tbh I think Tati is a bit of a people pleaser and she’s very scared of disappointing people who she considers friends which is another huge problem. I can see a lot of things that I’ve worked with in therapy in her. And idk what she’s talking about in her therapy sessions but I hope she’s better now at standing her ground. Just by listening to what she said about meeting Jeffrey: she got so enamoured by ‘honestly’ and basic life skills of not judging someone before meeting them. Idk if I would say she’s ‘weak’ but she definitely was not cut out to live in LA and be in the inner circle of that lifestyle. Plus it’s clear that her fatal flaw is her loyalty. And wrong people can use it to their advantage. Even when there were controversies about some of her friends she would either defend them or be silent which from being a good friend perspective is exactly what she should’ve been doing but from a good person perspective is totally not it. In the end I still think that the amount of hate that she got from it all was mind blowing. Especially when we understand that she was right too. She went about it in a … peculiar manner (which backfired) and maybe her points were not ALL correct but she had the right about James.
