Charli D\u2019Amelio slammed by View host for making millions off of Black TikTok creators\u2019 dances Instagram, @charlidamelioIn the wake of rising critiques against TikTok influencers, \u2019s Sunny Hostin is taking aim at Charli D\u2019Amelio. The co-host accused Charli of making millions off of dances she stole from Black creators without giving credit. At just 17 years old, Charli D\u2019Amelio has already made millions of dollars from her TikTok stardom. In many ways, the teenage influencer is the poster child for TikTok success. As such, it should be no surprise that she has become the latest target of criticism. First, Addison Rae received backlash for unsatisfactorily crediting Black creators whose dances she used in a segment. Then, Charly Jordan was slammed for not giving dance credit \u2014 during a Black TikTok dance strike caused by that specific issue. Now, Hostin is using as a platform to call out Charli, who she calls the \u201cprime example\u201d of misappropriation and creative theft in the TikTok world. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1409576432120963102 As Hostin explains, \u201cI don\u2019t think it should ever be considered cute or sweet to misappropriate other people\u2019s creative content \u2026 We see white teenage women or white women sort of misappropriate that content and make millions of dollars off of it.\u201d The brunt of this critique is becoming more widely agreed upon, as it serves as the basis for the dance strike and accompanying criticisms against Rae and Jordan \u2014 who each profited off of Black dances without direct credit. But, while Hostin calls D\u2019Amelio the \u201cprime example\u201d and notes her earnings in 2020, some of her criticisms may have been factually misguided. For instance, she accuses D\u2019Amelio of the situation instead of Rae. Additionally, Charli does seem to have a strong track record for giving dance credits. Unlike Jordan, who failed to give tracy.oj credit for her dance (and then called the backlash \u201ccrazy\u201d), most of Charli\u2019s videos seem to have credits. Still, whether or not D\u2019Amelio is the best example of this problem is beside the point. As Hostin explains, many of TikTok\u2019s biggest trends \u2014 like \u201cRenegade,\u201d \u201cSavage,\u201d and \u201cOut West\u201d \u2014 started with Black creators, but those creators have rarely been credited. At the moment, Charli has yet to respond to Hostin\u2019s criticisms, but we\u2019ll keep fans in the loop if she does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
