What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and a lot went down this weekend
in the D’Amelio household as Dixie officially confirmed her split with Griffin Johnson,
while Charli was forced to hire security around their family home after terrifying online
threats.
Being TikTok’s most followed celebrity might seem like a dream come true, but for Charli
D’Amelio, her family’s safety comes long before fame and the lavish lifestyle.
Things have been getting a little too personal for the famous family after Charli received
an online threat last month when someone posted on social media that they were going to show
up to her house.
The family didn’t take this threat lightly as law enforcement officers have confirmed
to TMZ that full-time security has been hired, and that the family is paying police officers
overtime to look over their Norwalk, Connecticut property for the foreseeable future.
Although thankfully nobody has since followed through with the threat, this was enough to
prompt Charli to spring into action considering this isn’t the first terrifying incident
they’ve experienced.
Charli has also received many ‘swatting’ calls, where people call 911 to report false
emergencies at her family’s home.
It was reported that the family spent a few weeks in Los Angeles in June and July, as
it was also unclear if they were actually back home during the time the threat was made,
soooo on second thought, the added security is actually a smart idea considering the entire
D’Amelio family is now of somewhat celebrity status.
Aside from Charli being the most followed TikToker, Dixie is climbing the ranks with
32 million followers, and her parents have a total of 12 million combined followers.
Speaking of Charli’s other family members, many fans suspected that Dixie and Sway House
member Griffin Johnson had split after about one month of dating when some questionable
activity began to go viral.
For starters, fans were quick to notice that Dixie had unfollowed Griffin on both Instagram
and TikTok.
Then, a TikTok video posted by Madison Galley went viral, where she claimed that Griffin
had been sliding into her DMs and sending her Snapchats claiming, “I’m single BTW.”
TikTok Room’s Instagram account shared the video with a comment left by Dixie that read,
“dot dot dot” which suggested that she wasn’t too happy with what she’d seen…
This led fans to drop comments on the video, suggesting that all the claims Chase Hudson
made about Griffin cheating on Dixie with Tayler Holder’s ex-girlfriend Kaylyn, and
Bryce Hall’s ex-girlfriend Elle, were, in fact, true.
Fans began writing comments ranging from claims like, “So Chase didn’t lie!” to “Now
cancel him like y’all cancelled Chase.”
Dixie also ‘liked’ some cryptic tweets fans wrote, like this one that read, “Griffin,
I beg you to please treat your next girlfriend good,” which, interestingly enough, was
also liked by Griffin.
Griffin also changed his Twitter header from a picture of himself with Dixie to a photo
of his friends.
Then came the REAL confirmation when Dixie shared her most recent vlog to YouTube titled,
“My Last Date With Griffin,” where she confirmed that she and Griffin were no longer
together.
Hey, so we actually broke up, but, um, I had this video scheduled for today, so I’m posting
it anyways… it was fun!”
As for Griffin, he announced on Friday that he would be taking a break from social media
amid his split with Dixie, tweeting QUOTE, “Mental health is a serious issue in the
culture of TikTok right now.
Regardless of whether you think it’s funny or not, the hateful comments can really break
people down.
Your comment may be the one that pushes someone over the edge so think before you type.
I’m taking a break.”
Fans praised Griffin for speaking out and for doing what was best for himself, but once
again, alluded to the fact that this energy didn’t match up when everyone was trying
to cancel Chase.
One user wrote, “I get that no one deserves to be hated on like this, but where was this
energy when u and all the sway boys were ganging up on Chase in an EXTREMELY public way?
u guys influenced everyone on tiktok to send him hate.
karma is karma & it comes back around.
Hope u feel better tho.”
Others were quick to defend Griffin, like one fan who tweeted, “Yes he cheated on
Dixie and yes he might have bullied chase.
But nobody deserves to be treated the way that people are treating him right now.
We all make mistakes - some bigger than others.
But please think before you speak.
Words hurt people.
Take as long as you need.”
Like these fans suggested, no matter what your stance on Griffin and his past actions
is, words can absolutely have a harmful effect on people, so let’s continue to think before
we speak and spread kindness as much as humanly possible.
