Addison Rae reacts to \u201cscary\u201d rumors about her social media hiatus Addison Rae, Instagram[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Addison Rae took an unannounced hiatus from social media in wake of multiple allegations of racist behavior, prompting some fans to worry about her health \u2014 but the star has debunked any wild claims concerning her break. Rae is one of TikTok\u2019s most popular personalities, having once been part of the famous Hype House content collective and boasting over 49 million followers due to her viral dance videos. Despite her popularity across multiple platforms, the star came under fire in late June, with critics demanding she address past instances of purportedly problematic and racist behavior. In wake of the raging claims and accusations, it seems that Rae took a moment to collect her thoughts away from social media, leading to rampant fan speculation regarding her health \u2014 with some critics even theorizing that she was pregnant (a claim that was promptly debunked by TikToker Bryce Hall). Rae was finally seen out in public on July 9, after paparazzi from the Hollywood Fix caught up with the star during a day out with her mother. \u201cI was just taking a break,\u201d Rae confirmed when asked about her hiatus. \u201cJust for a little bit. You know, a lot of people on social media \u2014 sometimes, a lot of things can get to your head. It\u2019s important to have a mental break.\u201d \u201cThose rumors were scary,\u201d Rae continued, speaking on the speculation that surrounded her internet break. \u201cIt\u2019s not something to joke about. For sure. It\u2019s definitely scary.\u201d (Topic begins at 0:15) Rae received massive backlash over past offenses ahead of her hiatus, which included dancing to a song that discussed eating disorders in a sponsored post and sharing a video that called the Black Lives Matter movement a \u201ccult,\u201d as well as liking comments that shaded Charli D\u2019Amelio from Fall 2019. Addison finally broke her silence on social media with a lengthy apology post regarding the Black Lives Matter video she\u2019d shared four years prior, and promised to use her platform to become a \u201cbetter ally.\u201d Now, the star has finally been spotted back out and about in the world, having broken her silence regarding the backlash against her and debunking rumors regarding her decision to step back from the small screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
