Fans lashed out at James Charles for his 'insensitive' fake pregnancy photoshoot seemingly inspired by Halsey

• James Charles posted a new YouTube video titled "24 Hours Being Pregnant" on Friday.
• The video included a reference to Halsey when Charles completed a fake pregnancy photoshoot.
• Fans were upset, given that Halsey previously suffered a miscarriage and has endometriosis.

James Charles was embroiled in another controversy over the weekend after he shared his fake pregnancy photoshoot.

The drama began when Charles, 21, promoted his new YouTube video "24 Hours Being PREGNANT" across his popular social media platforms on Friday.

The video idea was inspired by his friend and fellow influencer Laura Mellado, who is currently expecting her second child. She challenged Charles to see if he was "strong" enough to endure pregnancy.

Charles, who has 25 million YouTube subscribers, prefaced the video with a disclaimer, saying, "This video is not being made in any way, shape, or form to make fun of, to make light of pregnancies and the sensitivities and the complications that come around it."

"It's obviously such a beautiful, beautiful thing that women go through with their bodies, and it takes a whole lot of strength as well," he said, adding that proceeds from the video would be charities that focus on reproduction.

The video chronicled Charles, who donned two silicone baby bumps to mimic a pregnant stomach, completing daily tasks and challenges, including using a contraction simulator.

One challenge was the pregnancy photoshoot, which Charles posed for while in his underwear before using photoshop to appear naked in social media posts.

Despite the disclaimer, some fans still took issue with the fake pregnancy shoot after noticing the similarities to Halsey's announcement.

Like Halsey, Charles knelt on the ground while shirtless and with both arms covering his chest. Their Instagram captions appeared similar as well, with both Halsey and Charles writing "surprise."

The nail in the proverbial coffin, however, came nine minutes into the video when an unidentified woman in the room commented, "yeah, very Halsey."

Halsey has endometriosis, a chronic disorder that usually affects the pelvic cavity and can cause severe pain during sex and menstruation. Having endometriosis can increase the chance of infertility, as well as make it harder to conceive.

She has also been candid about suffering a miscarriage during a concert, which later made her feel "the most inadequate" she's ever felt.

Fans on Twitter became upset that Halsey was referenced in the video and the pregnancy shoots' similarities

"Halsey literally had endometriosis. For him or his team to say 'very Halsey' while he's taking FAKE pregnancy photos is f------ disgusting and it mocks everything that she's been through," one person wrote.

Another fan asked Charles and his team to "please watch your words."

"James please don't be insensitive saying 'that's very Halsey' when she has endometriosis and she has to work hard to have this baby," they wrote.

One person asked, "did James Charles just copy Halsey's pregnancy photo?" "He literally used her caption and everything," they added.

"Very Halsey .... Halsey went through many surgeries to get this baby while you hype," another person said.
