Teen TikTok star Charli D'Amelio was defended by video blogger Hank Green on Thursday after backlash to a controversial video saw her lose hundreds of thousands of followers on the popular social media app.
D'Amelio, 16, had been on the cusp of hitting 100 million TikTok followers during the week but saw numbers drop over criticism of a family dinner video showing what many viewed as disrespectful behavior from D'Amelio and her sister Dixie. Green, 40, posted a video in response to the backlash, saying he had no personal stake in the matter while suggesting that D'Amelio had been a victim of misogynistic bullying.
"I've been in this business for a long-ass time," Green said."I've got no dog in the Charli D'Amelio hunt but I will say that people love tearing down teen girls when they make little mistakes, but the big teen boys make colossal f**k ups and get free passes all the time." "So, if you're ragging on anybody right now, ask yourself if you've ever been a shitty person at one point and regretted it a little bit later," he added."It f**king happens."
