Charli D\u2019Amelio admits she didn\u2019t \u201cphysically\u201d write her book Instagram: Charli D’AmelioCharli D\u2019Amelio has admitted she didn\u2019t \u201cphysically\u201d write her new book, Essentially Charli: The Ultimate Guide to Keeping It Real, and the revelation sparked mixed reactions among fans. It\u2019s been a massive year for Charli D\u2019Amelio. She branched out and launched some new and exciting endeavors, including a make-up line, a Dunkin\u2019 Donuts drink, and a book called \u2018Essentially Charli: The Ultimate Guide to Keeping It Real.\u2019 Surprisingly, the book was a smash hit and became an instant New York Times bestseller. However, some fans weren\u2019t convinced she wrote it herself, and as it turns out, they were right. Charli opened up about the writing process behind the book on Views with David Dobrik and Jason Nash and admitted she didn\u2019t \u201cphysically\u201d write it herself. Instead, she relied on the help of a ghostwriter. The conversation started when David Dobrik asked Charli, \u201cIf you could be granted one wish, what would it be?\u201d Her answer was different from the one she wrote in her book, which prompted her to explain she wrote it \u201ca full year ago.\u201d After a playful back and forth between the hosts and the D\u2019Amelio sisters, Charli explained how it went down. \u201cI was on a call with [a] woman, so I didn\u2019t actually physically write it,\u201d she said. \u201cI said the words, she wrote it down, and then she put it in book form,\u201d she added. \u201cThat\u2019s how it happened. It went on for a few days, and I was just talking, and she would ask me questions.\u201d David Dobrik pointed out that it\u2019s common practice, especially among celebrities. \u201cThat\u2019s how everybody writes these books,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s really good because then you can get all your thoughts out, and they just record it, and they write it down.\u201d As David said, there\u2019s nothing wrong with how she wrote it. Celebrities often hire ghostwriters to draft and edit their autobiographies and memoirs. Still, the revelation sparked mixed reactions from fans. Most didn\u2019t think it was a big deal. However, some felt it was dishonest and another case of a celebrity putting their eggs into too many baskets. In the end, though, it doesn\u2019t change the fact that the book\u2019s content is still based on Charli\u2019s thoughts, views, and perspectives, regardless of who physically wrote it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
