Charli D\u2019Amelio is the most followed person on TikTok to date, with over 100 million followers on the video-sharing app. While she has a huge number of fans, being in the spotlight has also brought a lot of hate her way, even resulting in her losing thousands of thousands of followers after her controversy back in November. Charli and Dixie\u2019s 2 Chix podcast serves as a way for the stars to share their candid thoughts on internet fame, though of late they have found themselves having to address some bizarre backlash, like people claiming Charli was trying to copy Dixie with a music career. At the start of February, the star found criticism coming her way again after she posted a harmless photo of her surrounded by Squishmallows. Squishmallows are an adorable brand of stuffed animal with large, round, and often very colorful creatures, that have become extremely popular recently. View this post on Instagram Many claimed that the TikToker was going to \u201craise the prices\u201d of the stuffed creatures, as well as increasing the popularity of the brand, and therefore making them sell out. One commenter said, \u201cif y\u2019all thought it was hard to find them before, now we are really screwed.\u201d But in a February 11 episode of the 2 Chix podcast, Charli and Dixie addressed the bizarre backlash, which Dixie herself called, \u201cone of the dumbest things she\u2019s ever heard.\u201d Read More: James Charles confuses fans with bald head – Charli stated that she wanted, \u201cthe Squishmallow fandom to see where I\u2019m coming from,\u201d and explained that she was \u201creally excited\u201d to get some of the coveted toys after hearing about them. She revealed that she had so many duplicates because she had bought mystery packs which were the product that could get to her the fastest, and she had planned to give the extras to friends and fans. Topic starts at 1:47 Charli said she even saw some Squishmallow fans saying, \u201cwhy does she have all the ugly ones,\u201d with the TikTok star disagreeing and saying, \u201cthey were so cute.\u201d Read More: How to do a Q&A on TikTok – She hit out at the people who were criticizing her over her collection, saying, \u201ceveryone expects me to be this adult all the time, and then when I show my side that\u2019s like, hey, I\u2019m still growing up, I still want to be able to do normal teenager things. And if that\u2019s mini brands or stuffed animals of any sort, that shouldn\u2019t be something that people feel the need to gatekeep.\u201d With all eyes on them, it seems like the D\u2019Amelio sisters can\u2019t catch a break from the criticism, though they still have many fans on their side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
