TikToker under fire after being bullied on Instagram Live for her looks YouTube: Mackenzie Ziegler[jwplayer ZXB9LNVP]Sisters and TikTokers Mackenzie and Maddie Ziegler are former Dance Moms stars-turned-internet sensations \u2014 but social media isn\u2019t a nice place all the time, especially where comparison is involved. For those not TikTok-savvy, the Ziegler sisters are pretty popular on the viral video app, boasting millions of followers a piece across multiple platforms \u2014 but there\u2019s clear favoritism toward one sister out of the two siblings. Many viewers are quite vocal about their feelings toward Maddie, finding her to be the more physically attractive one out of the duo. This has unfortunately lead to mean comments and even outright bullying toward younger sister Mackenzie, which reared its ugly head during a recent Instagram Live. The sisters went live on Instagram to speak to their fans when one commenter compared Mackenzie\u2019s face to \u201cpuke\u201d \u2014 more specifically, saying \u201cKenzie\u2019s face is puke.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFSp26AB48E\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link After Kenzie read the comment aloud, sister Maddie was quick to call out the offensive message and even threatened to report the user\u2019s account. That didn\u2019t stop Mackenzie from making her own statement on the subject, defeatedly telling her sister, \u201cThis is why I don\u2019t stand next to you.\u201d (Topic begins at 4:39) Some fans took issue with Kenzie\u2019s response to the mean message, though, claiming that she was attempting to guilt-trip her sister for her appearance, as well. Kenzie addressed these concerns in a comment shortly thereafter, explaining that she\u2019s been compared to her older sibling ever since she was a child and that she suffers from insecurity due to this near-constant comparison. \u201cTo everyone saying that I\u2019m trying to make Maddie feel guilty, I have always been compared to her since I was little,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThat comment was implying that I was ugly compared to her. I am very insecure, so of course seeing comments like that gets to me. Sorry for giving the wrong impression.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time TikTok siblings have been compared to each other, either; sisters Charli and Dixie D\u2019Amelio seem to constantly be placed under the microscope, with angry viewers even accusing Dixie of copying Charli\u2019s nose surgery. Fans are showing ample support in wake of the hurtful comments and are pleading with fellow users to stop harassment and bullying in wake of several high-profile creators taking their leave of the app due to hateful trolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
