It looks like James Charles is not happy with the celebrity shout out platform Cameo. The social media star took to Twitter to slam the app on Saturday, March 14, and accused it of trying to make money off of the coronavirus.

For those who don’t know, Cameo is a platform celebrities can use to communicate with their followers. For a small fee, fans can purchase a personalized video message from their idol.

James posted a screenshot of an email he allegedly received from the company in a now-deleted tweet that said, “I don’t know if your events have been affected by the pandemic, but we’ve seen a growing number of talent joining Cameo to stay connected with fans from the safety of their homes, while also having an additional revenue stream as things get postponed.”

“Hi @BookCameo I’ve asked you privately to stop emailing me and now I’m going to do it publicly!” he captioned it. “I interact with my fans for free every day because it’s my job and I love them! Your website that charges for that is pathetic and so is your email pitch to profit off a deadly virus.”

He added in another tweet, “The whole website concept is disgusting and I’ve avoided discussing it because I don’t want to shade any of the influencers that do choose to use it but this email sent me over the edge.”

For those who missed it, the World Health Organization has reported that more than 170,000 people have contracted virus so far, resulting in more than 6,000 deaths. Medical professionals have called for “social distancing” to prevent further spreading of the illness, which is defined as “trying to keep yourself away from other people, especially large crowds.”
