Ellie Zeiler first started to gain traction on TikTok when comparisons were drawn between herself and the platform\u2019s most-followed star, Charli D\u2019Amelio. The resemblance between the two is uncanny, but many accused her of copying D\u2019Amelio\u2019s actions and mannerisms, too. Though the dust on that drama seems to have settled, a new one has been reignited with people saying that she\u2019s now copying Avani, who has 18 million followers herself on TikTok. Avani, like many of her peers, is well known for her upbeat style of videos, with dancing, comedy and trending challenges all playing an integral role in her growth on TikTok. The video that blew her up, though, was a \u2018clown check\u2019 video, in which she says \u201cclown check\u201d and transitions to her covered in make-up to look like a clown. It\u2019s something many users before and after her did, but now Zeiler has imitated it with something similar, and fans aren\u2019t impressed. Posting the TikTok in the early hours of April 30, other users were quick to call her out for \u201ctrying to be Avani,\u201d and asking why she\u2019s copying the stars, while many simply said that it\u2019s a common trend that many TikTokkers are doing, not just Avani and Zeiler. Zeiler, who has 2.6m followers herself, responded to one of the comments accusing her of \u201ctrying to be Avani,\u201d denying the allegation but saying Avani is \u201cthe QUEEN of these types of videos.\u201d Ellie is clearly trying to pay a compliment and homage to some of the bigger names on TikTok, but it appears that some simply aren\u2019t happy with it, unwilling to accept that she isn\u2019t trying to imitate her more popular peers. Whether or not she\u2019s copying Avani, Charli or anyone else is unknown to everyone except Ellie Zeiler herself, but she\u2019s clearly having enough success herself to not have to copy them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charli D\u2019Amelio lookalike responds to claims she\u2019s now copying Avani TikTok \/ Instagram: elliezeilerA TikTok star who came under fire for attempting to look like and imitate Charli D\u2019Amelio has now found herself being accused of trying to copy fellow TikTok personality Avani \u2013 and has hit back at the accusations.
