Charli D\u2019Amelio addresses backlash over her appearance at Jake Paul fight Instagram: charlidamelioTikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio has responded to backlash over her appearance at the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren Triller fight on April 17, after she and Dixie were asked to present the winners\u2019 belts. Charli D\u2019Amelio remains the most followed creator on TikTok with over 110 million followers on the platform. Her sister Dixie isn\u2019t far behind with over 51 million followers. Thanks to their tremendous popularity, the sisters have been offered a huge range of opportunities. From starting a podcast to appearing in music videos, and partnering with huge brands like Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, the pair have done it all. Due to their partnership with video platform Triller, Charli and Dixie along with fellow TikTok star Avani were invited to the highly anticipated fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and MMA fighter Ben Askren. They were asked to present belts to the winners at the event, but they received a significant amount of backlash from those who felt the TikTokers were out of place at the event. Dixie responded soon after by saying, \u201cI make you so mad, huh?\u201d and referencing the hate on her Instagram story. Now in a new episode of the 2 Chix podcast, Charli has given her side to the situation. She explained that originally the three stars were not supposed to present the belts, but one of the people with Triller asked if that was something they could do. She added that the decision was very last minute, and they only just made it to the ring in time, which is why they were \u201cflustered.\u201d Charli went on to say: \u201cSo people obviously did not like that we were at a boxing match in the first place because we are not boxers, I guess, or big boxing fans. Which I think is funny, because like we were invited to go, and we had a job while we were there, so I feel like it makes sense.\u201d However, the star did acknowledge the reason some people were confused by her presence, saying, \u201cobviously to some people that\u2019s not going to be their first thought, so I get it. But like, we were told to do it so we did it. It wasn\u2019t like a, \u2018oh we wanna do this,\u2019 we were asked to do it so we held up the belts and everything.\u201d Topic starts at \u2013 12:18 (4:18) Despite the influx of hate, the TikToker did add that she loved the experience of being at the fight. \u201cIt was really fun and I wouldn\u2019t go back and change it because people were being mean on social media cause they were going to be mean either way. It didn\u2019t really bother me when they were saying stuff because we were just having so much fun.\u201d Charli has had a busy calendar recently, as she also starred in ex-boyfriend and fellow TikTok star Chase Hudson\u2019s music video for his song \u2018America\u2019s Sweetheart,\u2019 with her dance performance getting huge praise from fans. The stars have however confirmed that the video was not an indication they are getting back together, and they remain \u201cjust friends.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
