Popular YouTuber James Somerton has made a name for himself with his thought-provoking video essays on topics such as LGBT literature and film theory. With a following of 330,000 subscribers on his now-deleted channel, James has become a well-known figure in the online community.
However, a recent controversy has caused him to issue a public apology. In a video uploaded on December 21, 2023, James addressed accusations of plagiarism made by fellow YouTuber Harry Brewis, also known as Hbomberguy.
Harry accused James of stealing ideas from other content creators and not properly crediting them in his videos. In response to the criticism, James admitted fault and apologized to his viewers for the misinformation and lack of proper accreditation in his content.
However, after receiving feedback from others, James realized that he was not in a healthy mental state to address the issue publicly. He deleted the apology video and expressed his intention to provide a more detailed and sincere apology once he is in a better frame of mind.
Despite the controversy, James remains committed to taking responsibility for his actions and making amends with his audience.
