Charli D\u2019Amelio hits out at TikTok trolls body shaming Kouvr Instagram: k0uvr[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio has hit out at trolls on the platform body shaming fellow Hype House member Kouvr Annon, who wrote a lengthy statement herself regarding the issue. Despite her young age, Charli has faced her fair share of criticism online thanks to her TikTok fame, but this time the shoe was on another foot and she opted to practice what she preaches, standing up for her friend after a hateful TikTok video was posted about her. In the original video, the troll used a popular sound, but cut it off when it said \u201cfat,\u201d leaving a picture of Kouvr on the screen. Both Charli and Kouvr commented on the video, imploring the user to do better and not be disrespectful, but they also took to social media to spread a wider message for more to see. Kouvr herself wrote a long statement, explaining that she\u2019s struggled with her body image for a long time and that she \u201cconstantly hated the way she looked.\u201d At the end of her statement, she reminded readers that \u201cbefore you take the time out of your day to tear someone down, you could just as easily lift someone up.\u201d Charli posted two tweets several hours later. In the first, she simply implored her followers to \u201cstop body shaming,\u201d but followed it up with another, more insightful one. \u201cI can\u2019t understand why some people think it\u2019s okay to talk about someone\u2019s looks, weight, sexual identity, etc in a negative way,\u201d she said, adding that it can be hurtful to not only the intended recipient but others in similar boats, too. i can\u2019t understand why some people think it\u2019s okay to talk about someone\u2019s looks, weight, sexual identity, etc in a negative way this can be hurtful to not only the person you are making fun of but also the people that look like or identify with what you are saying is a \u201cproblem\u201d \u2014 charli (@charlidamelio) August 10, 2020 Obviously, and unfortunately, online trolls are part and parcel of social media fame. It goes without saying that body shaming is not acceptable, and seeking to hurt others online shouldn\u2019t be used for cheap laughs. Charli and Kouvr have both made that abundantly clear now \u2014 hopefully it helps the original troll see the error of his ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
