A former Spirit Airlines worker has publicly rejected a private apology from James Charles after the influencer shamed her for asking for financial help following her layoff.
Amber Lendof Vargas, 30, was among the 17,000 employees who lost their jobs when Spirit Airlines ceased operations in May 2026. After she messaged Charles with a link to her GoFundMe, the beauty mogul responded with an expletive-filled rant on his backup TikTok account, calling her a 'lazy piece of s–t' and telling her to 'get another job'.
