What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and after last week’s TikTok
turmoil between the D’Amelio sisters, James Charles and Trisha Paytas, Dixie has come
forward to apologize for dancing to rap song featuring a racial slur.
We’re all still recovering from the firestorm that went down on Friday after Trisha Paytas
inserted herself in the drama that the D’Amelio family had already been dealing with following
their controversial vlog featuring James Charles.
But in case you missed it, the D’Amelio’s posted a video last week, where James joined
the family for dinner cooked by renowned chef Aaron May.
It received massive amounts of backlash from fans after Charli and Dixie appeared to be
grossed out by his cooking.
We broke it all down last week and have linked the video above in case you need to catch
up or refresh your memory!
Not only was the Internet completely disgusted with the girls’ attitudes toward the chef,
but one comment Charli made about not reaching 100 million followers yet on TikTok a year
after joining the platform, did not sit well with her fans.
The backlash was so intense that Charli took to Instagram Live in tears after receiving
crude comments and even death threats for her comments.
But then enters Trisha Paytas, who decided to share her thoughts on the family’s vlog
in a series of TikTok videos, calling out the D’Amelio sisters for being “ungrateful”
and “bratty”, as well as their parents for their lack of parenting.
The drama continued to escalate to the point where James got involved after Trisha accused
him of grooming children and befriending Charli, who’s 5 years younger, to which James came
back at Trisha for making such disgusting claims and being problematic, specifically
her racist past.
Annnnd here’s where Dixie comes in…
In an attempt to make a point and defend Charli from Trisha’s frequent harsh criticism toward
her, Dixie posted a video of herself dancing to Trisha rapping the n-word in a cover of
NWA’s “F**k the Police” from approximately 10 years ago, according to Trisha.
Dixie also captioned the now-deleted video, “I couldn't find the sound for this dance
so I chose a random one.
Hope that's okay!!”
However, her shade towards Trisha quickly backfired as many fans felt this video also
wasn’t in good taste.
Trisha also responded to Dixie’s video by retweeting it and tagging Dixie, saying, “I
said this 10 years ago and have since apologized numerous times; u danced and smiled to it
YESTERDAY! where’s ur apology??
Not cool in 2020 girl.”
Fans also agreed with Trisha and began accusing Dixie of being “equally racist” as Trisha,
and claiming that this is “not a good look” for her.
Dixie has since issued an apology to fans as she took to Twitter over the weekend to
admit what she posted was wrong.
She said QUOTE, “I posted a TikTok with the intention of making a point that didn’t
need to be made.
I took it down and I sincerely apologize for posting it in the first place and am so thankful
for everyone.
I’m wishing you all a great weekend and thank you again for the love and support.”
Further down in the comments, she also responded to a fan, admitting that it was “dumb and
tone deaf” of her.
Trisha has since responded by sharing a video duet with another TikTok account yesterday,
attempting to educate her followers as to why this behavior is harmful and toxic, and
about the dangers of weaponizing racism.
In addition to Dixie admit to her wrongdoings, she and Charli also appeared to mend things
with Chef Aaron after mocking and gagging at the food he prepared for them.
Charli posted a photo to her Instagram stories where she, Dixie and James pose with Chef
Aaron while James holds up a chicken tender, which is what Charli requested after disapproving
his cooking.
And it seems Charli actually did reach her goal of having 100 million followers within
her first year.
Although she actually lost two million followers after the vlog’s premiere, she ended up
gaining them all back, and is officially sitting pretty with over 100 million followers
Charli’s since been busy responding to fans on Twitter after reaching the major milestone,
but took a second to react to the news herself, tweeting, “100 MILLION PEOPLE SUPPORTING
ME!!
I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REAL.”
It seems both Charli and Dixie have learned from this experience, but as we know, the
drama never stops, sooooo until next time, guys!
