The Vamps' James McVey Hits Back at Press Acne-Shaming An Unnamed Celeb

James McVey isn’t having any of this acne-shaming that’s going around right now.

In the best clap back on Twitter today, The Vamps guitarist hit back at a paper shaming a celebrity (both unnamed) about their acne troubles.

“Someone has two spots and suddenly it’s an ‘acne outbreak’ making world news?” he wrote. “Give me (and her) a break. 85% of us have acne at some point.”

He added later, “Acne makes us NORMAL and shouldn’t be condemned by press.”


This isn’t the first time James has spoken out about struggles with acne, including his own.

“Never be afraid to accept and embrace imperfections; the road to absolute acceptance is stitched with the lessons and set backs facing you ahead. Nothing or nobody can lead you to this enlightenment- it is your task, and yours alone,” he started in an Instagram post a while back.

“We all have scars, those dark memories that torment us, yet it’s not about forgetting them; it’s about recognising that these scars are what constitutes your very being, what makes you who you are today. Never forget, simply acknowledge that others are experiencing this transition with you, and it’s down to you to help those who are struggling,” he added. “My name is James and I have acne. What’s your name?”
