Charli D\u2019Amelio sparks heated debate for being \u201cdrunk\u201d at 19 SnapChat: Markell Washington19-year-old TikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio is sparking a heated debate online after getting caught being \u201cdrunk\u201d in a social media post, despite being underaged. Charli D\u2019Amelio is one of the world\u2019s biggest online celebrities. She reigned as the most-followed creator on TikTok for two years and remains a social media icon, boasting nearly 200 million followers across multiple platforms. However, being an internet superstar certainly comes with some unique caveats \u2014 such as having a spotlight on her at all times, thanks to her millions of regular viewers, which can result in near-constant scrutiny of her every move. Charli has sparked controversy in the past, such as when she was caught vaping at sixteen years old back in 2020. A video showing the TikTok star hitting her vape caused rampant backlash against her due to the impression she could make on her young fans. Now, another incident has prompted outrage against the social media socialite after a friend\u2019s post garnered some criticism from viewers. Charli D\u2019Amelio sparks debate after getting tipsy in the Bahamas In early January 2024, Charli and a group of friends traveled to the Bahamas for a vacation\u2026 during which she got a little bit tipsy. A Snapchat video taken by fellow influencer Markell Washington shows the youngest D\u2019Amelio sister displaying seemingly drunken behavior, slurring her words and looking blasted out of her gourd. \u201cSomeone\u2019s drunk, and it\u2019s not me,\u201d Charli says during an apparent post-party dinner. \u201cIt\u2019s not. I think Markell\u2019s drunk.\u201d The video quickly went viral across TikTok tea pages, sparking backlash against Charli for getting drunk despite being under 21, the legal drinking age in America. However, it\u2019s worth noting that the drinking age in the Bahamas is 18. Charli is currently 19 years old, meaning that she can legally enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two in the Caribbean islands. Other fans are coming to her defense, with quite a few noting that America has a relatively higher drinking age than many other countries. \u201cIt baffles my mind how some Americans are kicking off because she\u2019s not 21, but the majority of the world is 18 to drink,\u201d one fan wrote on Instagram. \u201cShe\u2019s just being like any other girl at her age.\u201d \u201cI mean, the legal age to drink there is 18, so let her live,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
