Addison Rae reveals one thing you should know before starting TikTok Addison Rae InstagramTikTok star Addison Rae opened up about the rocky road of being a viral sensation, and talked about overcoming one of the biggest problems she wished she knew about before the fame set in. Addison has amassed over 35 million followers on TikTok, taking the app by storm with dance videos and her regular updates. However, the fame has also made her a target for online hate, as people have body-shamed and directed \u201churtful\u201d comments at her since her ascension. In an interview with TigerBeat TV, the star gave more insight about what she wishes she had prepared herself more for. This would be, in some part, due to her past encounters with online negativity. \u201cOddly enough, I feel like I would\u2019ve told myself to not worry about comments, hate comments, as much,\u201d Addison said in response to what she wished she knew about before starting out on TikTok. \u201cIgnore the hate. Continue. Don\u2019t give up.\u201d The 19-year-old star wasn\u2019t ready for the troves of trolls and bizarre trend of negativity that usually comes with online fame. Still, she has been able to take the hits in stride, given the latest sagas of issues directed toward her. In early April, popular Twitch streamer and FaZe Clan member Nate Hill released a TikTok slamming Rae. Many were critical of the video, later forcing Hill to take down the clip, and she responded in kind. (Timestamp at 0:52 for mobile viewers) \u201cThis makes me really sad,\u201d Rae said at the time. \u201cI can\u2019t change how people interact with me or my tweets\u2026 but I\u2019m thankful they do\u2026 I struggle with body image and insecurities in general and this can be so hurtful.\u201d Later that month she saw many people online commenting about her weight and said that it \u201churts to see people on my fyp [For You page] calling me \u2018a whale\u2019 and saying \u2018she\u2019s fat now.\u2019\u201d But once again, the popular TikTok personality brushed off the hate saying: \u201cI just want to encourage everyone who hears these things about themselves to love yourself!! If you are healthy and happy, do NOT listen to these hurtful comments. You are perfect.\u201d While Rae said she wishes she would have known about all of the heat that comes with online fame, she\u2019s been a persistent force on TikTok regardless of the internet\u2019s darker side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
