We have seen James making comments about turning straight guys and whatnot. He has made a pass at straight guys before in private as well as in public like that Jeff from Vlog Squad. James kind of turned into obsessed, arrogant and cocky.
Now, James and Grayson got really friendly and close at the end of 2018. They were exchanging boyfriend and marriage jokes on sister squad videos as well as on twitter. This must've made James really overconfident and he made a pass at Grayson. Like maybe he touched Grayson around shoulder or back or something like that and persuaded him(not force him) to makeout or at least just try it just like he did with Gage and Sam. Now he didn't force Grayson but you understand why it would've made Grayson really uncomfortable for months. And on the top of that, this is the time when their father was in his last stage of cancer. So they were already in a bad place. I'll say this happened around the time of their last SS collab or maybe after that. Which is when the twins decided to give a break to their friendship, probably for the best.Daisyyvelise wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 2:29 pmI don't know what to think because with Gage and Sam it just seemed that all James did with them was kiss then get salty when they weren't interested(which James obviously shouldn't do)...Tati made it seem like worse things happened.
This. What I do believe happened was James persuading Grayson and not actually molesting him. There was nothing technically wrong with it on James' part, but it was enough to make Grayson angry since his privacy was invaded. Even in the whole Tati-James scandal, the whole story was that James was wrong some level, but not exactly what Tati made him out to be. I'll come back to it later.Ew_ipreferalatte wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 4:30 pmI’m sorry but I don’t believe James molested him ain’t no way in hell. Look at how strong they are I’m positive Grayson would’ve kicked his ass if he tried to lol.
Now, skip forward to when the 'Bye Sister' video came out. We know from the Shaneglossin video that the twins and Jeffree were texting back and forth around that time. So when Tati made the video, Grayson confided in Jeffree that James tried to molest him too and it made him really uncomfortable for days. And around that time, the whole world including me thought that James is guilty and turned on him. So you can't really blame Grayson since he had all the more reasons to be angry on James.
And now because of personal rivalry, Jeffree sent that vile text to James which was not really true.greysweatpants20 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:34 amWhat I think happened is that Grayson made some joke or offhanded comment about how touchy James was and Jeffree ran with it. I don't think he was 100% lying, but I also think Jeffree warped what was said to fit a narrative. I don't buy that James was molesting Grayson, and I don't think they'd have so many mutual friends with James if that had actually happened.
Now, when James made the 'No more lies' we came to know that quite a few people messed up.
Jeffree, Tati, Gage and that Sam guy really messed up because they got called out by James publicly. But James didn't call out the twins because they talked to him over the phone to know how he was doing. James probably thought that Jeffree made the whole Grayson thing up by himself, but in reality, it was Grayson who talked to Jeffree behind the scenes. And this is where Grayson messed up. By turning on James behind the scenes and confiding in Jeffree of all people.Ew_ipreferalatte wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 1:46 pmAnd if James was their ‘’friend’’ why would Grayson even go back to Jeffree to talk about what James did to him. In conclusion, Grayson is kinda messy that’s why I Stan Ethan more lol.
Two people messed up in that text message thing:
1. Grayson- for thinking James molested him when in reality he probably just made a pass. (Which is just as wrong as what Gage and Sam did)
2. Jeffree- By sending that text to James without Grayson's permission and any solid proof.
And you know why the twins hang out with Jeffree even after he texted to James about the molesting thing?
It is because Jeffree took the downfall after the James video for both himself and for what Grayson said. No one was blaming Grayson after the scandal, even though he was just as wrong as Sam and Gage, wrongly calling James out. That text Jeffree sent was based on accusations that Grayson made. If they would've stopped being friends with Jeffree, he probably would've exposed Grayson. Think about it, if Jeffree would've made that accusations totally by himself, the twins wouldn't hang out with him after the scandal. They want to be seen as drama free.
James probably knows now that Grayson was in the wrong too by saying things to Jeffree about him. But there's nothing much he can do about it. Grayson also knows he did wrong to James. Probably that is why they have no problem in hanging out in the same social circles.Daisyyvelise wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 6:43 pmY'all remember the twins hanging out with Sam Hurley..? His older brother was with James like a week later, so James and the older brother are friends now or whatever They need to stop getting mutual friends lol
And I really don't think Grayson is in the wrongdoing here. He just confided in Jeffree privately. I mean who didn't go against James when that Tati video came out. And Jeffree used that for personal agendas against James. After and James made that whole thing public just to come for Jeffree. These beauty people just tossed around Grayson's statement for their own benefits. I am so glad that the twins played it smart by not saying anything publicly.
Wha do you guys think?
