The older D\u2019Amelio sister has been under fire for allegedly faking an illness to get out of school. According to an anonymous Twitter user, Dixie would fake seizures to get out of class, even earning notoriety for doing it so often. \u201cShe would randomly fake a seizure in the middle of class and after a while my teacher and people caught onto it. The nurse would come in and take her out of the class,\u201d the Twitter user claimed to \u2018DefNoodles\u2019. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1295348562646056961 However, according to the TikTok star, it\u2019s all false. Dixie released a video shortly after the accusations came to light. She got emotional while recounting her experiences, saying she was diagnosed with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures while in her sophomore year. \u201cIn sophomore year of high school, I had very bad anxiety, and it got so bad to the point where I developed this thing called PNES,\u201d D\u2019Amelio told fans on August 17. She also rebutted the claim she did it multiple times. D\u2019Amelio stated that she only had one seizure while at school. She was then admitted to hospital and underwent testing. \u201cIt happened once. It happened on my last day of school because I never went back since I felt really sick that entire day. I walked out of school and I felt awful. I walked back into school and grabbed my friend, and I\u2019m like \u2018can you walk me out to my mum\u2019s car because I just do not feel well.\u2019\u201d \u201c[When] I walk back outside, I fall to the ground and start having a seizure. I start\u2026 convulsing because it\u2019s not an epileptic seizure. After having these for a couple of minutes, I [was] taken to the hospital. I [was] there for two days, where they are constantly monitoring me, and I have over 400 of these compulsions.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1295490591761956865 She also had a message for those spreading the rumors and making her out to be \u201cdisgusting,\u201d asking people to \u201cthink before [they] type.\u201d \u201cTo all of the adults replying to this tweet saying I\u2019m \u201cdisgusting,\u201d how do you think I feel when I actually lived through this and people say I was faking for attention? Maybe think before you type.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
