Addison Rae hits back at online hate after returning from hiatus James Charles, YouTube[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Addison Rae has finally returned from her unexpected social media hiatus last week \u2014 but she\u2019s still being bombarded with criticism, and now, she\u2019s firing back at the backlash. While Addison Rae may be one of TikTok\u2019s top content creators, the star has come under fire in recent weeks over her past content and social media posts \u2014 namely, a video she shared four years ago that dubbed the Black Lives Matter movement a \u201ccult.\u201d This, combined with other incidents, prompted a mountain of criticism against the TikToker, who took an unannounced break from social media in response to the overwhelming backlash. A few days later, Rae returned to the internet with an apology for having shared the video all those years ago, and confirmed that she had left social media to take a break from the madness. However, her apology doesn\u2019t seem to be enough for many critics, who continue to bombard the star with negative messages and comments in wake of her return. It seems the backlash has grown so severe that Rae is hitting back at the criticism instead of taking another break, as evidenced by a series of Tweets posted on July 16. \u201cStop making people hate themselves,\u201d she Tweeted, accompanied by, \u201cPlease spread love.\u201d \u201cPutting your energy into being loving and kind is so much more fulfilling than being negative and pointing out everyone\u2019s flaws,\u201d she followed up. \u201cDon\u2019t judge others for the things you don\u2019t want to be judged for.\u201d putting your energy into being loving and kind is so much more fulfilling than being negative and pointing out everyones flaws \u2014 Addison Rae (@whoisaddison) July 17, 2020 don\u2019t judge others for the things you don\u2019t want to be judged for \u2014 Addison Rae (@whoisaddison) July 17, 2020 While her Tweets are clearly meant as a positive message, critics are making sure to point out her past mistakes, with many taking issue with her apology. \u201cShe uh, ya know, danced to a song about eating disorders, tried to get another TikToker to say the n word on Live, has been called out for blackfishing and retweeted a video about someone saying BLM is a cult,\u201d one user wrote. she uhh ya know danced to a song about eating disorders, tried to get another tik toker to say the n word on live, has been called out for blackfishing and retweeted a video about someone saying blm is a cult. \u2014 ashlyn beirne (@BeirneAshlyn) July 17, 2020 \u201cIt\u2019s funny that now you\u2019re getting hate, you start talking about it, but when other influencers were going through the same sh*t, you kept quiet,\u201d another chimed in. \u201cI don\u2019t have hate against you, but that\u2019s just as bad.\u201d it\u2019s funny that now you\u2019re getting hate you start talking about it but when other influencer were going thru the same sh*t you kept quiet.
