Dixie D\u2019Amelio addresses backlash over liking \u201ctransphobic\u201d tweets YouTube: Dixie D’Amelio[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Dixie D\u2019Amelio has published a statement addressing tweets she\u2019d liked from 2018, which included some comments that many deemed to be fatphobic and transphobic regarding Victoria\u2019s Secret models. Dixie D\u2019Amelio is one of the net\u2019s fastest-rising social media personalities, best known for her viral dance videos and being the big sister of TikTok queen Charli D\u2019Amelio. Despite her popularity, Dixie has come under fire as of late, after leaked screenshots showed that she had liked tweets from 2018 that many critics found to be problematic. The tweets in question centered around Victoria\u2019s Secret\u2019s previous stance on not allowing plus-sized and transgender models to walk the runway, as told by chief marketing officer of L Brands, Ed Razek. The tweets in question appeared to echo these sentiments, with one stating, \u201cPeople are too sensitive nowadays. Not everyone has to accomodate to what you want because it hurts your feelings.\u201d \u201cNASA doesn\u2019t want my college dropout a** flying the space shuttles, and you don\u2019t see me crying,\u201d another read. \u201cSensitive people are gonna destroy the human race,\u201d read yet another. After catching flak from just about everyone on the internet \u2014 with many finding the liked tweets to be highly offensive \u2014 Dixie took to social media to address the outrage, revealing that she\u2019s already made a statement on the tweets beforehand. \u201cI was so uneducated on everything, and I know that\u2019s not an excuse, but I do everything in my power now to educate myself properly on every topic,\u201d Dixie explained. \u201c\u2026I have my own body image issues, so I would never want to bring anyone else down again.\u201d \u201cI spread so much love and positivity toward anyone, and I would never spread hate or harmfulness on something I was educated on,\u201d she continued. Thus far, it seems that Dixie\u2019s response has been met with mixed reviews among critics \u2014 but it seems like Dixie\u2019s tweets in wake of the drama are more focused on her recent split from ex-boyfriend and fellow TikToker Griffin Johnson. While both Dixie and Charli have come under the microscope before, this marks the latest controversy surrounding the D\u2019Amelios, who have even hired security after receiving threats and even being swatted at their home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
