Addison Rae apologizes after backlash over Instagram post Addison Rae, YouTubeTikTok superstar Addison Rae has apologized after receiving some backlash for a caption on one of her latest Instagram posts. Addison Rae is one of the most popular creators on TikTok, with an impressive fan base of over 44 million followers on the app, as well as millions on Instagram and Twitter as well. However, after the star tried to use that platform to spread awareness about some of the ongoing issues and protests in the US, she was met with some backlash for her approach. The TikTok star uploaded a series of selfies to Instagram on June 5, but some fans took issue with the fact that she had used a Martin Luther King quote as her caption. American singer Gus Dapperton was among those to hit out at the influencer, calling her \u201cshallow\u201d for uploading selfies along with her message of support to the BLM movement. \u201cJust because you caption your selfies with an MLK quote doesn\u2019t mean this isn\u2019t shallow as f***,\u201d he remarked, after re-sharing the post to his Instagram story. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBHUV97nWYz\/ She deleted the caption from the post and apologized to her fans shortly after, claiming that while she does believe in the quote, it might not have been the best way to get her message across. \u201cMy intentions are pure and this quote is something I believe in so deeply,\u201d she explained, apologizing to her fans, \u201cI am so sorry and I\u2019ll take it down.\u201d Addison has been quite vocal about the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, frequently posting on her social media and has attended some of the protests as well, explaining that it is important to take action wherever possible. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBHkIIZHpDM\/ \u201c I believe supporting BLM on social media is just as important as what I\u2019m doing outside of it, which I will continue to do,\u201d she shared. Addison later added that she is still learning how to handle things in the right way and revealed that she will take \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for the mistakes she makes while adjusting to her newfound fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
