Addison Rae addresses constant online hate in tearful Instagram Live YouTube: Addison Rae[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Addison Rae seems to be the favorite target of internet trolls lately \u2014 and it seems that the constant criticism is finally wearing her down, as told by her tearful Instagram Live addressing the topic. Addison Rae is one of TikTok\u2019s most popular content creators, boasting an impressive 60 million followers on the app and even earning the most money out of any other TikToker. However, in spite of her success and bubbly personality, Rae has been at the center of near-constant online criticism following an incident in July, when she addressed backlash for sharing a video years prior that called the Black Lives Matter movement a \u201ccult.\u201d While Rae has apologized for sharing the video, critics are still quick to slam the creator over just about anything and everything \u2014 from the time she danced to a song discussing eating disorders for a partnered video to allegedly liking comments that shaded Charli D\u2019Amelio. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CD9ZeH6BgmK\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link It seems that the hate train just isn\u2019t stopping for Rae, and she finally sat down to discuss the near-constant criticism in an Instagram Live on September 15. \u201cI think people are so misunderstood, especially on the internet,\u201d Rae said. \u201cThere\u2019s people that get portrayed a certain way, or people just attack them for things that aren\u2019t necessarily true, or right. And you never really know what\u2019s going on.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest, it does get to me,\u201d she continued. \u201cThere are moments when I read things about myself, and I read comments and I read things like that\u2026 I can\u2019t sit here and act like has never affected me, because it has.\u201d Rae even ended up shedding a few tears toward the end of her broadcast, showing just how much the criticism is getting to her; but, unsurprisingly, her stream still managed to spark the ire of haters amid the many comments showing support for the TikToker. This latest broadcast comes shortly after Rae received backlash over liking older comments, one of which appeared to glorify eating disorders. While she didn\u2019t directly address the issue, it\u2019s safe to say that this scandal may have prompted her to go live, providing yet another prompt reminder that celebrities are still people \u2014 even if you only ever see them from behind a smartphone screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
