The relationship between Evan Johnson and James Charles alludes to the widespread conjecture that American YouTuber, cosmetic artist, and businessman James Charles is seeing influencer Evan Johnson, who was arrested in mid-April 2025 on suspicion of domestic violence.
James Charles is dating TikTok influencer Evan Johnson who was arrested for assaulting ex-girlfriend Kayla Malecc
James Charles, a beauty influencer, is under fire following claims that he had a relationship with Evan Johnston, a fellow content creator who is currently dealing with severe legal problems.
James is meanwhile trying hard to irradiate any information/comments/videos coming out about him hosting Evan Johnson at his house earlier this year after Kayla came out on a live about the abuse. James Charles stayed in contact with Evan and let him crash at his place after Kayla confided him about some of the domestic violence he did to her.
James Charles knew that Evan Johnson was an abuser and then pursued a s*xual relationship with him afterward.
Evan Johnston was recently arrested on allegations of violating probation and domestic abuse after his ex-girlfriend Kayla Malecc made the accusations. According to reports, Malecc, a well-known TikTok star, has openly discussed her violent relationship with Johnston.
