Laid-Off Spirit Worker Rejects James Charles’ Apology as Donations Top $41,000

The episode shows how a viral callout can redirect money to someone in crisis.

Overview

  • Amber Lendof Vargas said she does not accept James Charles’ apology after he posted and deleted a TikTok mocking her request for help.
  • Her GoFundMe has raised more than $41,000 following wide sharing of the incident, according to multiple reports.
  • Gypsy Rose Blanchard donated over $500 to the fundraiser and shared the link with her followers, TMZ reported.
  • Charles said in a private DM that he donated, and a $5,000 entry using his name appears on the page, though outlets say that gift has not been confirmed.
  • Spirit Airlines collapsed on May 2, leaving about 17,000 workers without jobs, which led Vargas, a former employee, to start the fundraiser.
