 I wanted to start this video off with one of my favorite quotes and it says this, Henry Ford once made a wise remark to the effect that experience is the thing of supreme value in life. That is true only if one is willing to turn the past to good account. We grow by our willingness to face and rectify errors and convert them into assets. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel the whole point of my channel is trying to take a look at the YouTube community all this mess that's going on and try to take that and turn it into a message. So if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So hopefully hopefully this is the last video I'll be doing on the whole James Charles, Tati Westbrook and Jeffree Star situation alright. I'm tired of it you're tired of it but the reason I've been following it is because there's so many lessons that we can learn about our own friendships about how we behave as a society as a whole all of that stuff. So make sure you stay tuned because I have some awesome collabs coming up for mental health awareness month so make sure that you're staying tuned alright. So yeah in this video I wanted to kind of wrap things up and discuss kind of my final thoughts on this situation alright because you know originally I was going to make this video about like the winners and losers of this situation but like at the end of the day when I really look at it I think everybody lost alright. So I want to just kind of go through each person involved as well as some people that you might not expect and kind of give my final thoughts alright. So Tati Westbrook alright so in all honesty like I've said this since the beginning I don't think Tati Westbrook had the malicious intent going into this thing that some people are accusing her of now. There is a lot of blood money that's been made off of this situation but I don't think that was her intent alright and like I said in the intro of this video like that quote is we take these things we take these screw ups these things that we've done and we try to convert them into assets so we can learn and grow as people and Tati Westbrook situation it it really looks like it was somebody who felt betrayed by a friend her emotions got the best of her and she felt the need to vocalize this all of us do this right all of us have fallen victim to our own emotions in a situation and we want to speak out about it to maybe friends or family members or Tati Westbrook's case her audience to just tell everybody how we've been wronged we've been wronged and we want to know that we're not crazy and that's one of the reasons why we vocalize it and I really think that Tati Westbrook made that video to try to get people to side with her I don't think she was looking for a pity party or anything like that but I think it's just human nature to try to get people to have our back and just be like I got screwed over like yo right so I think that's how it happened in this thing escalated beyond what she could have ever ever ever imagine but my final thoughts on Tati Westbrook and I'm laughing right now because I never thought in a million years I would agree with phase banks on something but phase banks just made a video discussing the money that was involved in this and this is something that I think a lot of youtubers and entrepreneurs are looking at in this situation right we're looking at like you know like what was the money made like what was the subscribers made what does this do for somebody's brand but anyways phase banks broke it down it's not super hard math but anyways Tati Westbrook she sells her vitamins for $40 all right and her video on James Charles by sister which I believe somebody said she's since then taken down but she had 49 million views and at the top line of her description had her vitamins all right if even 1% of the people who watched her video bought vitamins that's $19 million in sales okay and these vitamins are meant to be taken for a while so people might still be taking those vitamins now some of that phase banks brought up is even if it was less than 1% even if it was a fraction of 1% there's millions of dollars right there okay I do believe Tati in her last video where she said like you know she would give it all back the the subscribers or whatever she didn't mention the money and I agree with phase banks on this like he mentioned that she should donate some of that money to charity right he said that she should show her numbers and like she's not the president of the United States I don't need to see the numbers but the reality is is that there is a lot of money that was gained because even though she's losing subscribers now she's still coming out on top millions and millions of subscribers all right so yeah but I think it would be a good a good thing to do you know because she has made a ton a ton of money on this situation and in my opinion she can even do this in private but that's the thing you can't even do something like this in private because you have to show everybody no I just didn't keep all that money but yeah it's kind of like blood money like she made this money off of a bad bad bad situation next let's talk about Jeffrey star all right and it's it's crazy just seeing how reactionary everybody is these situations Jeffrey star like I've been rough on him in my videos but I empathize with Jeffrey star more than a lot of people probably know and if you pay attention to my videos like I can relate to him I mentioned in one of my last videos like he mentions that old Jeffrey wanted to come out I have that old Chris that wants to come out that angry angry Chris all right but in my opinion Jeffrey star he's been in this auto pilot mode right like this dude is a millionaire for a reason and he is on top of it with his brand like the way he is just constantly on Snapchat on Instagram YouTube Twitter everything right and you get into this autopilot and something I think we all forget is that these are all human beings they have the same brain functions as the rest of us okay and what happens is is that you get into this autopilot I've become victim of it as well and you just post and tweet and share everything out there and then you're like oh crap I can't really take that back right and and Jeffrey star he started gaining subscribers and now he's losing them again and a bunch of people are you know talking about the serious allegations he made towards James Charles and everything like that but at the end of the day just hopefully hopefully Jeffrey learns from this situation like and again I empathize with him in this situation because actions speak louder than words all right I've been sober for almost seven years and I still screw up I still screw up and there are people out there where when I screw up they're like oh you haven't changed at all you know what I mean so I get it I get it and I don't know what it is that Jeffrey needs to do like I attend 12-step meetings I have a sponsor I have a therapist and something that we say in the 12-step community is progress not perfection but the more you grow on this platform the more of a responsibility you have to be mindful of what you're posting what you're tweeting the the text messages you're sending to other people like like Jeffrey got all caught up in that but at the end of the day Jeffrey star is still going to make millions of millions of millions and millions of dollars every single year because he makes a good product and he is a great businessman you know what I mean now James Charles James Charles is probably the biggest loser in all this situation not like a loser as a person but like he lost in this situation and it is crazy and I'm glad to see that he's been somewhat vindicated right and he came out with just probably the best comeback video like in YouTube history just debunking all of the major allegations and everything like that and man like it was awesome but at the end of the day he's still lost like one of the worst things that can ever happen to any of us is is have people that we thought were friends just turn on us like it was bad enough that two of James Charles mentors turned on him like that's almost like your parents turning on you right like and James Charles screwed up so I do hope James Charles learned from this situation is James Charles massively screwed up and I think this took him down a few notches and hopefully we see him grow as a person but not only did his two mentors turn on him but like all the channels were like making videos or it was becoming news for every single friend of James Charles just systematically unfollowing him and like think about that for a second like put yourself in his shoes like could you imagine could you imagine a rumor going around and all of your friends just not even talking to you and asking you about it they just totally left you like James Charles is going to have so many trust issues that kid is 19 years old 19 years old he is going to have such a problem trusting people right and mentors and friends aside but like his love life too you know what I mean two guys who consented to hooking up with him have become very public about it you know what I mean he has to question every move he makes from now going forward all right and that really sucks that really sucks but it's part of the deal with this whole thing and at the end of the day at the end of the day this is like this is going to be a controversial thing that I say but this is probably one of the best things to happen to James Charles and the reason being I guarantee you guys are going to see in years to come like I think James Charles is going to become the new Jeffree star but hopefully better all right because he's going to learn so much from this situation like I look back at my past and the horrible things that have happened to me and that I've been through but they've made me a stronger better wiser person so I do think James Charles is going to come out on top of this entire situation next something that people haven't been talking about which has been on my mind like in the back of my mind this whole time is Shane Dawson Shane frickin Dawson can you imagine can you imagine what's going on in Shane's mind like do you remember when Shane Dawson just used to make videos with like Garrett and Drew and just having fun and goofing around and stuff like that do you guys remember those good old days like when you heard Shane and friends it was like Shane and Ryland and Drew and Garrett Morgan might have been up in the mix now they got Andrew up in there all these things right like that was Shane and friends but Shane you know is I was thinking about making a whole video on this Shane is he he's attracted to problematic people and this was discussed heavily in his series about Jake Paul when he was talking with Katie Morton like Shane Dawson wants to be like the good influence for these bad people and he wants to be somebody who who can you know be there for these people who he knows are problematic and and I can only imagine what this has been doing to Shane's mind because he he he did the collab with Jeffery Sard that little docuseries and then they kind of talked about doing a makeup project together and now it's been confirmed that it's actually happening and Shane Dawson is diving into the whole beauty community thing and like imagine that imagine like imagine like showing up to a new job and then just see all this drama happen and you're like oh my god right and I think it's gonna be interesting and I wonder what how Shane's been dealing with this behind the scenes and what he's been talking to them about and everything like that like Shane Shane is gonna be fine no matter what his audience his fans are so diehard and loyal they're gonna be there for him but I'm sure he's questioning a lot of things now a lot of things now that everything's out on the table and granted Shane probably knows more stuff behind the scenes than we do but it's still got to be taken as toll on that dudes mental health and it is rough the last section I want to talk about is the fans the audience the community right I have seen so many comments on my videos on Twitter just everywhere and like the fans are the ones who get screwed on this thing man like it's crazy like I'm not you know I've made some videos like doing my makeup and stuff like that you know whatever just for fun but like I was first introduced to this community by my girlfriend and her best friend and everything like that and I know there was a bunch of you know women and men out there who love playing with makeup and everything they just want to watch these videos about like makeup artists doing makeup and learning new things and everything like that and this keeps happening and like it would be insane for anybody to think that this is the last time it's happening right like I mentioned another video like this is my second year following the beauty community and it's two for two last year was a situation with Manny Mua and Laura Lee and you know Jeffrey star and all those people and now we have this this year like I have a feeling it's gonna happen next year as well and the fans have been completely screwed and something my girlfriend was talking to me about which I've seen other people I've seen so many people say this too like she doesn't even like watching beauty channels anymore like she just doesn't like this was like her thing right like she watched them while she got ready you know even if she wasn't following a tutorial she just like listening to them she would tell me that it's like kind of soothing and everything like that she was telling me that you know she even would like fall asleep to videos like Tati Westbrook because she has a very soothing and calming voice and everything but it's like for her and I've seen many other people say this like the experience has just been ruined right and like I talked to him like you know what about your girl like that Taylor like who's like not problematic never up in this stuff or anything like that or like glam and gore like Mikey she's never up in this stuff but she's taking a break right now and like my girlfriend was saying like just whenever she turns on a beauty video like she's reminded of all this stuff and she can't help but wonder all these other things going on behind the scenes and like yeah that sucks that sucks for everybody involved and it sucks for the community and in my opinion I just I think that's what makes you to a way different platform than any other form of celebrity right because celebrities are able to keep so many things behind closed doors but in the age of building on social media platforms like a way you connect and build that brand is by letting them into your life right and what we've seen in this whole situation is that in some circumstances people react rather than respond and it could just kick off this insanely huge controversy you know what I mean so I would love to hear your thoughts down in the comments below like how much do you think youtubers and beauty gurus or people like myself should actually share because I'm sure on your end it helps you connect with people like us but how much do you really want to know about you know what I mean it's just a bunch of things I've been thinking about throughout this entire situation all right but anyways that's all I got for this video if you
