Description
Cover this podcast in prayers, because in this highly-requested episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the most political event on the internet to date: Tati Westbrook’s public disowning of James Charles. In this clashing of beauty guru titans, 38-year-old Tati Westbrook disavowed her 19-year old friend and mentee, James Charles… over a bunch of hair vitamins. But hindsight reveals that Tati may not have been working alone, and that Bye Sister may never have been about vitamins all along. Tea and squabbles abound, this event may have brought an end to the beauty guru regime… for good! Digressions include: a reopening of the case on “grooming”, Hannah and Maia’s “would you, an alt man, date Kylie Jenner” poll, the horror of naming a fanbase, and Rehash’s declaration of war against another… very famous… podcast.  Support the Patreon and get juicy bonus content!: https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast Intro and outro song by our talent friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic SOURCES: Valeriya Safronova, “James Charles, From ‘CoverBoy’ to Canceled” The New York Times (2019).
