Charli D\u2019Amelio slams \u201cout of control\u201d hate from 100m followers scandal YouTube: Charli D’AmelioTikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio is hitting back at the intense criticism she received after joking about not reaching 100 million followers in a year, as well as the hate that followed her tearful Instagram Live on the subject. Charli D\u2019Amelio is TikTok\u2019s most-followed content creator. Now boasting over 101 million followers, Charli has become the poster girl for the viral video application \u2014 but not everyone is a fan of the internet superstar. The 16-year-old influencer got hit with an avalanche of negativity upon the release of a \u201cDinner with the D\u2019Amelio\u2019s\u201d episode on November 16, where she appeared to jokingly bemoan not reaching 100 million followers in a year\u2019s time. The issue quickly erupted into a scandal, with users calling out Charli for purportedly only seeing her fans as \u201cnumbers\u201d and being ungrateful for her privileged position as a celebrity. (Charli\u2019s comment starts at 14:58) The hate soon spun into a hurricane of vile comments, with D\u2019Amelio even revealing she\u2019d been sent death threats from angry viewers during a tearful Instagram live addressing the situation. She even lost 1 million followers over the ordeal. She has discussed the matter yet again in a solo December 3 episode of her \u20182 Chix\u2019 podcast sans sister Dixie D\u2019Amelio, hitting back at the shocking amount of hate she received over the scandal. \u201cThe thing that I think happened was, it spiraled completely out of control,\u201d she said of the situation. \u201cIt turned into a place where I was getting threats for my life. When talking about this on Live, I got emotional, because that\u2019s not something that people take lightly.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1329490226281021440?s=20 \u201cI feel like people really have to understand that yes, I do have a substantial amount of people that follow me on social media,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat does not mean that I am not a person. \u2026The entire situation was taken completely out of proportion by lots of people.\u201d \u201cI know I\u2019m not a disrespectful person. I know that I\u2019m not a genuinely horrible person. I know I\u2019m a good person, at the end of the day. Whether or not everyone agrees with that is for them to figure out, and that\u2019s totally fine.\u201d (Topic begins at 1:10) Charli\u2019s podcast shines a light on the growing negativity from social media platforms like TikTok, which even bullied the likes of Taio Cruz off the website within just a few days of him creating an account. This situation serves as an important reminder to remember that no matter the circumstances, there\u2019s always another person behind your phone screen who your words are directly affecting \u2014 100 million followers or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
