Morphe shared the news with a statement on Twitter, writing, “In light of the recent allegations against James Charles, Morphe and James have agreed to end our business relationship and wind down sales of the Morphe x James Charles product offering. It is and has always been Morphe’s goal to create a positive, safe, and empowering space where all beauty lovers can freely share their artistry and passion for cosmetics, and Morphe is committed to furthering that goal.” The brand and James first launched their long-standing collaboration in 2018.
James also confirmed the end of the partnership with his own statement. “These stories caused many of my long-term partners to receive considerable negative feedback, one of them being Morphe. I’ve loved every moment working together, and am beyond grateful for what we’ve created together,” James said. “That being said, I reached out to them and we mutually agreed to wind down our James Charles x Morphe collaboration, which is my only project with them.”
As we previously reported, the makeup artist uploaded a 15 minute-long video titled “Holding Myself Accountable” addressing recent allegations from minors saying he allegedly sexted them on Snapchat. In his video, Charles apologized for sending flirtatious messages while stating that he initially believed the minors were of age when he was contacting them at the time.
