Dixie D\u2019Amelio apologizes for now-deleted TikTok which included slur YouTube: Dixie D’AmelioSocial media star Dixie D\u2019Amelio has apologized for a now-deleted TikTok where she used a sound that contained a racial slur. [jwplayer MCWtJUdj] While a number of stars have been borne out of TikTok\u2019s success, none have been quite as successful as the D\u2019Amelio\u2019s \u2013 Charli and Dixie. The sisters have a combined 143 million followers on TikTok, and millions more combined across their Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube accounts. They\u2019ve even got their own podcast on Spotify and a Keeping up with the Kardashians-like TV show in the works. However, despite their success, it hasn\u2019t been completely plain sailing. In November, the pair have come under fire \u2013 Charli for comments made about wanting to hit 100 million TikTok followers and Dixie for apparently being \u201cdisrespectful\u201d about a dinner, and using a sound that contained racial slur during a now-deleted TikTok she has apologized for. In the since-deleted video, Dixie was seen dancing by herself to a sound recorded by Trisha Paytas, where she used a racial slur while singing a song. The D\u2019Amelio sister quickly deleted the video and responded in the comments that she used the sound to make a point and wasn\u2019t trying to promote the use of a racist comment. She followed her own response up by taking to Twitter to issue a longer apology. \u201cI posted a TikTok with the intention of making a point that didn\u2019t need to be made,\u201d Dixie tweeted on November 21. \u201cI took it down and I sincerely apologize for posting it in the first place and am so thankful for everyone.\u201d i posted a tiktok with the intention of making a point that didn\u2019t need to be made. i took it down and i sincerely apologize for posting it in the first place and am so thankful for everyone. i\u2019m wishing you all a great weekend and thank you again for the love and support \ud83d\udda4 \u2014 dixie (@dixiedamelio) November 21, 2020 Plenty of supportive comments rolled in for Dixie, though there were a few negative responses as well. She offered an additional comment in a follow-up tweet, saying the TikTok was \u201cdumb and tone-deaf\u201d of her. Unlike her sister losing thousands of TikTok followers, Dixie doesn\u2019t appear to have suffered any backlash from the post as she\u2019s received plenty of appreciative replies on Twitter. This is likely because Trisha, whose sound was used in the video, has been under fire herself for attacking Dixie\u2019s sister, amid the ongoing drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
