Addison Rae and Chase Hudson caught up in \u2018dating\u2019 prank gone wrong Instagram: Addison Rae, Chase Hudson[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]It\u2019s no secret that TikTok is home to some harmful trends, but one of these fads took a seriously wrong turn after stars Addison Rae and Chase Hudson got caught up in a scheme that spread harmful rumors about them. As TikTok continues to grow in popularity, so too do its plethora of viral trends, which include everything from harmless dances to downright physically dangerous stunts like putting nutmeg in water and drinking it for hallucinogenic effects. While it\u2019s generally quite easy to sort the good from the bad, sometimes, the bad wins out \u2014 and when combined with TikTok\u2019s dark side of bullies and harassers, leads to a cocktail of online toxicity. Addison Rae and Chase Hudson became a victim of such toxicity in late September, after a trend from online trolls asked users to start spreading rumors that the two have been secretly dating this entire time, seeming to hint that this even took place during Chase\u2019s relationship with Charli D\u2019Amelio. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFiR2J-hjAq\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link That\u2019s not all; this fad even asked viewers to claim that none other than Kim Kardashian was aware of the fake scandal and had leaked a video of the two stars after the cancellation of \u201cKeeping up with the Kardashians,\u201d alleging that Addison was responsible for the show\u2019s demise. Although it may have been clear this was just a prank, it seems the rumors caught on, and soon after, comments came pouring into the two stars\u2019 TikTok videos asking them about their relationship status. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFpZLuJnUrL\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Luckily, Addison was quickly made aware of the scheme and spoke out against the harmful rumors, writing in a comment, \u201cI don\u2019t like this :(\u201c Other high-profile TikTokers came to Addison\u2019s defense, with the likes of Larray writing, \u201cWhat\u2019s this girl\u2019s TikTok? I just wanna talk.\u201d This is far from the first time Rae has been the target of egregious online trolling; in fact, it seems to be a popular fad for commenters to send hate toward the social media star, with some critics even claiming to have leaked information concerning her voter registration. Rae has since debunked this rumor, but this latest incident just goes to show that haters have no bounds \u2014 especially when they can hide behind a phone screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
