Perez Hilton hits back at TikTok ban petition after Charli D\u2019Amelio beef Perez Hilton, YouTube \/ Charli D’Amelio, InstagramSocial media mogul and drama commentator Perez Hilton has hit back at a petition from angry TikTok users to remove him from the platform, following his beef with star Charli D\u2019Amelio in March. While he\u2019s known for discussing drama between A-List celebrities and top YouTubers, Hilton has recently switched up his repertoire by covering TikTok stars \u2014 but his efforts have landed him in hot water with fans. The commentator came under fire in early March after making a comment on one of 15-year-old Charli D\u2019Amelio\u2019s dancing videos: \u201cAnyone else think it\u2019s inappropriate for a 15-year-old to dance to this?\u201d perez hilton literally shamed @charlidamelio (15) for wearing a bathing suit. charli was literally at the beach. his excuse for this behavior was that he\u2019s gay. but no matter who you are, attempting to diss a minor for what they\u2019re wearing is not right. pic.twitter.com\/JYtMzqqnJ3\u2014 M1SO , (@PL4YBCY) March 5, 2020 D\u2019Amelio was quick to clap back to Hilton\u2019s not-so-subtle shade: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m just trying to have fun!\u201d Their exchange caused many fans to criticize 42-year-old Hilton for making such a comment on the minor\u2019s video, where she busted a move in a bikini \u2014 which later led to an entire feud between the two internet celebs, with Hilton going on to cover Charli\u2019s breakup with fellow TikTokker Chase Hudson. Hilton\u2019s coverage and discussion of D\u2019Amelio\u2019s content and personal drama led fans to create a petition asking TikTok to ban him from their platform, which has since received over 85,000 signatures at the time of writing. However, it doesn\u2019t seem that Hilton is fazed by this development, as evidenced by his congratulatory Instagram comment in the midst of the drama on April 28. \u201cThis petition has been so good for me!\u201d he said of the matter. \u201cLoving all this press! And my TikTok account keeps growing! And at a faster rate than before! Thank you! Sincerely! Deeply!\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_kU2cdnw-x\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link This is far from the first time Hilton has been flattered by outrage surrounding his beef with D\u2019Amelio; the YouTuber made similar comments in early March when their feud was at its peak: \u201cFor days now, they\u2019re still letting me have it, and I am in heaven! I love it! Thank you children! My [account] is getting so many views, I\u2019m getting so many new followers, I love it!\u201d Despite the drama, it doesn\u2019t look like Hilton is bothered by fans\u2019 petition to boot him from TikTok, with his account remaining active on the app at the time of publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
