Hossler is a popular face across multiple social media platforms, with TikTok being his most lucrative, boasting over 9 million followers on the viral video app. Despite his sizeable fanbase, the 19-year-old social media star has recently come under intense scrutiny for tweets he wrote in 2017 and 2018 \u2014 one of which appeared to sympathize with the KKK. Another Tweet that sparked division among his fanbase appeared to be homophobic, with Hossler claiming that LGBTQIA+ people were \u201cgoing against God\u2019s will.\u201d The backlash eventually led Hossler to deactivate his Twitter and step away from the platform after releasing a statement apologizing for his \u201churtful\u201d words. However, it seems that the criticism against Hossler\u2019s past posts has not died down, causing the TikToker to release another statement via Instagram apologizing for his tweets, once again. In his statement, penned in February 2020, Hossler revealed he\u2019d decided to come forward again because the issue had been \u201con his heart for some time\u201d and that \u201cme not addressing it to a new and larger audience feels irresponsible.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s apparent that some people seem to think I am part of the \u2018KKK,\u2019\u201d he wrote. \u201c\u2026These assumptions are absolutely not true and make me so sad to see daily on all my socials.\u201d \u201cI was 16 and had strong opinions, similar to the rest of humanity,\u201d he continued. \u201cI hopefully, along with everyone, have grown since being a kid, and with that my perspective and opinions change constantly.\u201d Hossler wrapped up his post by stating that he was \u201cbeyond sorry that I put myself in a position to be portrayed as an awful and disgusting human being.\u201d View this post on Instagram Thus far, it doesn\u2019t look like Hossler\u2019s statement has been met with sympathy, with many critics accusing the star of seeking attention and refusing to take responsibility for his past posts.
