Tati Westbrook, a beauty influencer and YouTuber, took a break from social media and her channel due to controversies and personal reasons. She later returned to YouTube to continue creating content.
Tati Westbrook, known for her beauty channel “GlamLifeGuru,” which was later renamed to Tati, became one of the most influential figures in the beauty community on YouTube. In 2019, she was involved in a highly publicized internet controversy known as “Dramageddon 2” or “Bye Sister,” which centered around her falling out with fellow YouTuber James Charles. The incident led to a significant amount of attention and backlash for all parties involved.
Following the controversy, Tati took a hiatus from social media and her YouTube channel, citing the toxic environment and personal issues as reasons for her break. During this time, she also faced legal challenges related to her vitamin supplement company, Halo Beauty.
In June 2020, Tati posted a video titled “BREAKING MY SILENCE …” where she addressed the controversy, apologized, and provided her perspective on the events that transpired. She explained that she felt manipulated by other YouTubers and shared her regret over how she handled the situation.
After a year-long hiatus, Tati returned to YouTube in 2021 with a video explaining her absence, discussing the personal struggles she faced, including her lawsuit and fertility issues. She expressed her desire to move past the drama and focus on creating beauty content again.
Tati’s return was met with mixed reactions from the community, but she has continued to upload beauty reviews, tutorials, and lifestyle content. Her channel remains a popular destination for makeup enthusiasts, and she has worked to rebuild her brand and reputation following the events that led to her hiatus.
