Honestly I think it’s karma, he’s an obnoxious twit and an incredibly hands off parent.
His oldest son Geronimo regularly got in trouble in primary school for being incredibly violent, bullying etc, in more than one incidence he was caught trying to stick his thumbs into other kids eye sockets and gauge their eyeballs out (he didn’t succeed but still). The other kids were lovely but there’s no way a kid acts so badly unless they’re looking for attention, spoiled, mimicking parents or completely left to run wild.
Also the first Feastival was set up in conjunction with an existing local music festival that was completely for a kids music education charity. Alex James took his own cut of the profits and paid the vendors then didn’t give the charity organisers their cut.
I live locally and I’ve never heard anything good about anyone’s interactions with him. He’s honestly the one celebrity I cannot stand, aside from my personal dislike of his son, the man literally stole from a children’s charity.
