Tyler Oakley Calls Out James Charles and Nikita Dragun for 'Partying in Large Groups' amid COVID-19 Lockdown



While Oakley did not mention which specific party, his tweets come after a massive birthday party thrown for TikTok star Larray — born Larri Merritt — on Tuesday.

In a video montage shared on Dragun's Instagram, the beauty influencer can be seen dancing closely with Larray at a Hello Kitty-themed bash while surrounded by a group of partygoers. No one in the footage appeared to be wearing a mask or standing six feet apart from one another.

Dragun called the event "the most insane surprise party ever" in the caption, writing to Larray, "i had to go all out for u and something tells me u had a good time."

Larray later responded to Oakley's tweets, writing on Twitter, "i understand 100% where ur coming from & it was a dumb thing to do. I will do better & will actually take this shit seriously. appreciate you tyler much love."

Representatives for Charles, Mongeau and the D'Amelio sisters did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. A spokesperson for Dragun declined to comment.

Oakley previously called out fellow YouTuber Jake Paul when the 23-year-old threw a large gathering at his Southern California home earlier this month, tweeting in response to a video taken from the bash, "f— you, @jakepaul."

Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintraub also condemned Paul for violating COVID-19 restrictions, telling FOX 11 that she was "outraged" and that her office received several complaints about the party.

"It wasn’t just myself who was outraged, it was everyone who saw the video," she said.

"They’re having this large party, no social distancing, no masks, it’s just a big huge disregard for everything that everybody is trying to do to get things back to functioning,” Weintraub added. "It’s really just a party acting like COVID does not exist, it’s acting that businesses aren’t closed … We all have to do our part."
