YouTuber James Charles is being sued by a former employee who is claiming she was overworked, underpaid and that the beauty vlogger used racist language in front of her.
Charles’ former producer, creative director and “right hand person” Kelly Rocklein filed the lawsuit against him two years ago, after working for him for around six months in 2018.
She is suing the controversial YouTuber, who recently admitted to messaging 16-year-old boys on social media, for wrongful termination, disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodation, and failure to pay minimum wage for overtime hours worked.

Rocklein alleges that although she asked for a six-figure salary with benefits, she was instead offered no benefits and $5,000 a month ($60,000 a year), with the opportunity for a bonus if she proved herself.
