Beauty influencer James Charles<\/a> was torched online after calling a recently canned Spirit Airlines worker a \u201clazy piece of s\u2013t\u201d in a maniacal, expletive-fueled tirade over a donation request.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old internet personality unleashed an explosive rant in a now-deleted TikTok<\/a> after receiving a message with a GoFundMe link and a desperate plea for support from a woman who claimed to have lost her job when the budget carrier<\/a> abruptly shuttered last weekend.<\/p>\n

While the sudden shutdown cost some 17,000 jobs<\/a> \u2013 Charles raged that the sacked staffer should have focused on \u201cgetting another job\u201d instead of sending him a \u201cf\u2013k ass message.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got a DM on here from a girl that said \u2026 \u2018I\u2019m really struggling right now because Spirit Airlines just filed for bankruptcy and I have lost my job. Here\u2019s a GoFundMe link. Any donations help,’\u201d the beauty blogger mocked while crazily cackling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure they do, sweetheart, I\u2019m sure they do. You know what else would help you? Getting another job. Yeah, try that. Because in the time that it took you to copy and paste the same f\u2013k ass message to myself, who you don\u2019t follow, by the way \u2026 you could\u2019ve applied for a hundred other jobs,\u201d he raged.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you didn\u2019t, cause you\u2019re a lazy piece of s\u2013t, and you\u2019re entitled, and you think that influencers and celebrities should fund your life for you. Why would I ever help you? You\u2019re not a fan, you don\u2019t even follow me \u2026 And you think that I\u2019m gonna send you money because you lost your job?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles, reportedly worth $22 million,<\/a> aggressively leaned toward the camera and yelled, \u201cWelcome to the real world, sweetheart,\u201d before fuming about how people lose their jobs everyday.<\/p>\n

He then brought up her race and said she is fully capable of finding new employment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re white, pretty and able-bodied; you\u2019re in a much better position than a lot of other people out here who are trying clearly much harder to make a better life for themselves,\u201d the YouTuber wailed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would I f\u2013king help you?! I\u2019m not f\u2013king help you. All you did was lost your job. I\u2019m gonna do nothing, you know what you need to do? Go find a f\u2013king new one, girl! Put some effort into the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unhinged video quickly sparked an online firestorm, with critics blasting Charles for his \u201cvile\u201d outburst and being extremely \u201cout of touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then deleted the chaotic clip and issued a bizarre shirtless half-baked TikTok apology on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis video was f\u2013king stupid,\u201d Charles said in the video<\/a>, adding, \u201cIt was rude, it was obnoxious, it was privileged, and most importantly, it was completely f\u2013king unnecessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added how he could have ignored the message and moved on, but opted instead to post a video publicly bashing the struggling out-of-work woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was obnoxious, and I shamed her for asking for help in a situation where she was clearly struggling, and this could have been her absolute last resort,\u201d Charles continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel awful because that wasn\u2019t my intention. And I really hurt a lot of people\u2026 I\u2019m super sorry, especially to the woman from Spirit Airlines.\u201d<\/p>\n
