Charli D\u2019Amelio lookalike hits back after TikTok copycat accusations Instagram: Ellie Zeiler \/ UTAEllie Zeiler, who has 1.9 million followers on TikTok, has been attacked by the fans of platform star Charli D\u2019Amelio for allegedly copying her content, and hiding behind a fake account to deceive fans of the TikTokker. Charli D\u2019Amelio is the face of TikTok. With over 50 million followers on the platform, she has taken the internet by storm with her variety posts. With that comes a very loyal fanbase, and people trying to capitalize on her success. However, Ellie Zeiler has been caught in the crossfire, after fans of D\u2019Amelio accused the budding TikTok star of stealing content and intentionally deceiving other users because of their similarity. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_P7s2dnyzk\/ A video went viral on Tiktok on April 21, calling out an alleged account of Zeiler on Twitter for using Charli\u2019s name to promote her own content. The account, which was under the name \u2018charidamelio\u2019, dropping the L from the D\u2019Amelio\u2019s first name, reportedly had images of Zeiler up on their profile. The video also highlighted this account was liking content from \u2018EllieZeilerr\u2019, reportedly Zeiler\u2019s Twitter profile. However, Zeiler has come out in defense of herself, saying that neither profile is operated by her. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_QBgPYneBN\/ \u201cMy account is @elliezeiler1 not @elliezeilerr,\u201d she said on Instagram. \u201cAsk them for a face reveal please because it\u2019s all fake. I\u2019m sorry for having to comment like this but it has gone too far.\u201d Zeiler has 64,000 followers on Instagram, and only recently started up a Twitter account. The fake account on Twitter posted an apology in the star\u2019s name, although the profile has since been deactivated. \u201cThat photo everyone was commenting on was posted a couple of days ago on my second account,\u201d the fake Zeiler profile said on Twitter. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_P_JKTnWaE\/ The user behind the \u2018charidamelio\u2019 also clarified that she is neither D\u2019Amelio or Zieler, and was instead a fan account trying to have a bit of fun with the two lookalikes. \u201cThis account has never been run by Ellie Zeiler,\u201d they said. \u201cPlease don\u2019t give her sh*t for something she has nothing to do with. It\u2019s not Charli either.\u201d Charli D\u2019Amelio herself is yet to comment on the controversy, although given how it\u2019s taken over TikTok fandom over the last 24 hours, she\u2019s likely aware of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
