In a tweet on Friday, August 14, Dixie wrote: \u201cCan y\u2019all stop sending him hate? Things happen its a part of life and growing up. If I\u2019m not going on about it so neither should any of y\u2019all. It hurts me seeing him hurting and it\u2019s just not fair at this point. It\u2019s over. We are fine. Drop it.\u201d Griffin Johnson has nearly 9 million TikTok followers and is a member of the Sway creator house in Los Angeles. Griffin also starred alongside his ex Dixie D\u2019Amelio in \u201cAttaway General,\u201d a short drama series from Brat TV on YouTube, so has built himself a sizeable fanbase \u2014 and a fair amount of critics, too. can y\u2019all stop sending him hate, things happen its a part of life and growing up. if im not going on about it so neither should any of y\u2019all. it hurts me seeing him hurting and its just not fair at this point. its over. we are fine. drop it. \u2014 dixie (@dixiedamelio) August 14, 2020 On August 12 Griffin uploaded what appeared to be an apology video to YouTube following his dramatic break up with TikTok royalty Dixie D\u2019Amelio. Following rumors of Johnson\u2019s infidelity, the couple unfollowed each other on social media. Despite denying the cheating allegations at first, D\u2019Amelio soon spoke out to confirm it was true. Since then, both stars have remained relatively quiet, with fans expecting an apology from Griffin in the near future. However, the video uploaded by Griffin titled \u201cI messed up\u2026\u201d turned out to be the opposite of what anyone expected. His apology was actually because he didn\u2019t win a bet, which was to reach a million YouTube subscribers before Bryce Hall\u2019s birthday. He even cheekily added in a birthday message for his ex-girlfriend. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fRkA03uECS4 Followers of the drama are clearly still upset with Johnson. User Hannah Kosh uploaded a TikTok on Thursday, August 13 saying, \u201cHas anyone else been annoyed recently by one specific Tiktokker who\u2019s been posting a lot of YouTube videos as part of a bet? \u201cHe\u2019s also been using his Twitter fingers a lot recently just to say some stupid stuff and for like no real reason\u2026 Everything he\u2019s doing is just annoying. Now, I\u2019m not gonna say who it is, but he definitely doesn\u2019t know how to make a dinner reservation. So, is it just me or does anyone else here feel the same way?\u201d Even Heidi D\u2019Amelio, Dixie\u2019s Mom, responded to Hannah\u2019s TikTok and commented, \u201cAgreed.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CD3uyF_HNtc\/ Griffin snapped back in the comments: \u201cYou could\u2019ve just done this @imgriffinjohnson,\u201d which has accrued more than 17,000 likes at the time of writing. He also duetted the video with the caption, \u201cPlease let me know how would you act if millions of people were saying things like this to you daily\u2026@ me if you wanna be bold.\u201d The video garnered 1 million views in just 6 hours. Despite the backlash from the breakup, fans appear to be warming up to him once again. One user wrote, \u201cDixie and Griffin worked things out privately, we don\u2019t know the full story of their breakup, just a part of it. Hating on him won\u2019t solve a thing,\u201d while another wrote, \u201cIf Dixie wasn\u2019t famous, y\u2019all wouldn\u2019t be dragging him like this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dixie D\u2019Amelio hits out at critics for harassing Griffin Johnson Instagram: Dixie D&#8217;Amelio\/ Instagram: Griffin Johnson[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]Dixie D\u2019Amelio has spoken out on Twitter, defending ex-boyfriend Griffin Johnson, after he has been repeatedly harassed by fans upset about the pair\u2019s breakup.
