Beauty influencer James Charles has said he almost got into a fight with a girl at Coachella, after she refused to move for him to get past.
The 26-year-old attended the first weekend of music festival Coachella (10-12 April), with Justin Bieber headlining on Saturday night.
He uploaded a “Get Ready With Me” video to TikTok on Sunday, exclaiming: “I literally almost got into my first fight last night. My friends had to pull me away from somebody.”

Applying his makeup, Charles went on a lengthy rant about the price of AirBnBs and Ubers due to the festival in California.
He then turned his attention to his near-fight, explaining that he and his friends wanted to grab a drink from the VIP section, where the bar is located on a raised platform area.
However he said that some people choose to sit on the stairs there, as it gives a good view of the main stage.
Charles said: “So the only way through is basically to politely step over people and granted, most that are sitting on the stairs are well aware of this, so will move or shift over to allow people through. Well, not this lady last night.”
He claimed: “My friend was in front of me, he politely said ‘excuse me’, stepped over her and was all good. I was right behind him, when I said ‘excuse me’ and got ready to politely step over her, she moves herself over and says ‘nope, you can go in over there’.
“I said ‘nope, I’m gonna go in right here, excuse me.’
“Then she moves over again, moves her feet so when I take a little step, I accidentally step on the very tip of her shoe. Not her open toes in a sandal, not a cute little sneaker, but a heavy duty boot, and I know that because I looked down after she literally grabs both sides of her head and [screams] making a whole entire scene for no reason.”
He went on: “Of course everyone starts looking and before I even had the opportunity to say sorry for stepping on her shoe, she’s already cussing me out and at this point – I’m a very, very, very nice person, until you give me a reason not to be.
“I snapped. I f****** snapped. I was like you f****** dumb a** b****, you’re lucky I only stepped on the tip of your shoe and not your f****** face.”
Charles explained his friend grabbed him and moved him on to avoid any more of a situation.
“This weekend can really bring out the worst in people,” Charles finished by saying.
