So, what’s been going on? Jourdin Pauline first made headlines on December 10 when she accused Tylil James of sexual assault. She claimed the incident occurred after the 2025 Streamer Awards ceremony and its after-party, which took place on December 6, 2025, at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
James, who’s part of Kai Cenat’s Clover Boys crew, initially kept quiet as the allegations blew up online. But he eventually hit his Instagram Story, simply stating, “I would like to make it clear that I have never sexually assaulted anyone.”
Following James’ denial, the two went back and forth, each trying to poke holes in the other’s story. When Pauline mentioned legal action, James took to his livestream, ready to shut down her claims once and for all. He came with receipts, presenting several pieces of evidence to debunk her accusations.
But Pauline wasn’t backing down, tweeting, “He’s still a rapist.” She even made some eyebrow-raising comments, stating she “doesn’t like Black men” and identifies as “asexual.”

A few days later, on December 20, Pauline tried to shift gears, posting about “just bought a Benz.” But you know how social media is – detectives quickly swooped in, claiming she was just “fake flexing” with someone else’s photo of a fancy Mercedes-Maybach SUV. With the heat from the James allegations and the “fake flex” drama, Pauline announced she was deactivating her X (formerly Twitter) account.
In her public statement, she also shared some comments about the “cyber bullying” fallout that definitely left social media users concerned. She wrote:
“The cyber bullying I’ve experienced has deeply impacted my mental health. Reading lies, threats, and dehumanizing comments day after day is not something anyone is immune to. I’m choosing to prioritize my wellbeing and step back from engaging with negativity.
I appreciate those who have shown kindness and support—it matters more than you know. But I’m genuinely tired as I leave behind my music and my legacy. It’ll still continue once l’m gone because that’s what truly lives forever is art my art & My craft the weight of the world has always been on my shoulders.
I thank everyone I had beautiful experiences with and the people that love me very dearly like my mom and my sister l’ve seen very disheartening videos about my sister’s death. Do not speak on her. You don’t know her and you don’t know her story and she’s not here to defend herself.
I try to use my voice as much as I can, but it’s time for me to close this chapter. Only God knows what I’m feeling, and I’m deciding to not feel this pain anymore and finally be with God I promise my spirit and music and art will do the living for me. God bless everyone goodbye and farewell.”
Just days later, Pauline popped back up on X with a list of “crazy people,” even including herself and a few other celebs. Then, on December 24, she hit her Instagram Story with some more posts that had everyone talking.
First up, she shared a lyric from Drake’s track “Redemption,” which perfectly read, “This year for Christmas, I just want apologies.” Next, she posted a reflective photo of Beyoncé, looking deep in thought.
Paired with the Beyoncé pic, Pauline played Don Toliver’s “LAST LAUGH.” The lyrics on screen were pretty telling: “They really wanna take my soul / But I got the last laugh / mm (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) / I got the last, I got the last, I got the last laugh, oh (ha-ha-ha…)”
