The 2025 AMAs were no exception.
While all of our favorite artists, actors, reality television personalities and more were in attendance at the 2025 AMAs, representing the social media world were individuals like Tara Yummy, Alix Earle, Ben Almeida and more. Also representing the social media world was one controversial character, James Charles, causing quite a bit of backlash from the moment he walked the red — or should we say purple? — carpet.

His first scandal stemmed from his feud with fellow YouTuber Tati Westbrook — who publicly "accused him of disloyalty and attempting to seduce a heterosexual man with the knowledge of the man's sexuality" in 2019 — and to follow, he was accused of child grooming in 2021.

"Seriously? They invited even after his latest allegations on top of the other allegations?" one fan wrote, while another added, "The nerve." A third dished, "After everything… he was still invited??"

James also shared a video via TikTok getting ready for the award show, which also amassed a great deal of hate comments. "So are we all just gonna move on?" one fan wrote, while another added, "Who invited him?" A third dished, "You do not deserve to go."
While James' attendance was quite polarizing, the award show was a success nonetheless. To see it for yourself, Paramount Plus subscribers in the United States can stream the 2025 AMAs today (May 27) via the platform.
