I've never watched him but I've heard he was a horrible person even before all this stuff came out. All I can say is, Good.

This whole scenario really highlights the fragility of online 'success' - which I guess is inevitable when these kinds of careers are built mostly on entitlement, drama and superficiality. 

It reminds me of Gaga's view on social media stars. How she has argued before that such careers, built on shallow foundations, will never be sustainable. No one will remember what you put online once you're dead. You're remembered for your talent - and more importantly, how you use that talent. 

James, I guess, is a talented make-up artist. But how he's used that talent has been his downfall. Using it for self-serving reasons, for superficial and toxic reasons... he, along with many other artists, was always going to be susceptible to a crash and burn of this kind. 

Gaga is a great model for building a real career in the modern age of entertainment, whilst also having an ironic understanding of shock value and statement-making. Gaga has used the machine, without the machine (ultimately) using her. Super clever... and a lesson that current starts should learn from (social media or otherwise).
