What’s up? It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and Charli and Dixie D'Amelio
are facing backlash for being disrespectful to their personal chef and family friend Aaron
May during a YouTube video.
Earlier this week The D’Amelio family uploaded their first mystery dinner guest video and
the guest joining the famous family was none other than James Charles.
James joined Charli, Dixie, Heidi, and Marc for dinner cooked by personal chef Aaron May.
Chef May regularly appears on the Food Network as a judge on shows like Guy’s Grocery Games
and Best Thing I Ever Ate, and he also cooks around the world at some of the biggest sporting
and music events.
Marc D’Amelio referred to Aaron May as a close friend and his favorite chef, so fans
were excited to see what he cooked up for the D’Amelios.
“The chef of the night is our good friend Aaron May who is my favorite chef and thank
you so much for doing this for us.”
But despite the D'Amelio's being treated to a nice looking meal prepared by a top notch
chef, beloved TikTokers Charli and Dixie are being accused of being extremely rude.
We wanted to add that this seemed out of character for both of them because for the most part,
Charli and Dixie have seemingly been very gracious every time they are interviewed or
on camera.
And obviously they were in the comfort of their own home surrounded by friends and family,
but many people didn’t think that was an excuse for how the girls treated the chef
and how Heidi and Marc didn’t do anything to stop it.
As soon as Chef May came out to talk to the family, Charli started making sarcastic faces
and fake clapping.
Then, Chef May made the family a paella, which James seemed very excited about.
“I’m literally so hungry it’s insane, oh it looks so good!”
Unfortunately though, Dixie wasn’t too keen about the ingredients in the paella.
She is seen gagging and fake throwing up at the snail, which Chef May said is a classic
paella ingredient and "an omen of good luck."
At one point, Dixie even went to the patio to actually throw up after her mom asked her
to excuse herself from the table.
“Oh yummy. Oh gosh so dramatic. Dixie, don’t be so dramatic. Excuse yourself! Is she being
real or is she being dramatic? Oh she actually threw up.”
And it didn’t stop there. Dixie continued to be ill outside and laughed off the situation.
“(laughter) I threw up”
Charli also seemed displeased by the food, but this isn’t too surprising since she
said her favorite meals are chicken nuggets and mac n cheese.
At one point while James is talking to Heidi and Marc, Dixie flicks some food across the
table.
“Is the first person to come to mind, stop that. It fell, dude. This is the first and
last show we’re doing here.”
And towards the end of the meal, Charli complained about not hitting 100 million followers yet,
despite having 95 million at the time.
“Imagine if I hit 100 mil a year after hitting a mil, that would’ve been.. Was the 95 not
enough for you? Well I was just like saying even numbers”
Needless to say, there was a lot going on at this family dinner.
Like we said, they were comfortable with one another and were in their own home, but many
fans were disappointed with how disrespectful the girls were to Chef May.
One person wrote “This whole family is an embarrassment, the dad who is letting this
behavior just cuz they making money, those two girls who are being extra rude and mean
and ungrateful... and the way Dixie reacted to the food by being extra in front of the
chef is super rude !! and let me not start about this kid charlie being ungrateful about
her followers ... this is just too much !”
Another commenter chimed in saying “this pro chef is getting disrespected by some snobby
ass kids... what has the world come to.” This fan wrote, “My mans James Charles was
just tryna eat dinner with the fam, but the fam decides to be disrespectful.”
Another person said, “my mom would've slapped me if I acted like that on the dinner table
LOL.” This fan added “My five year old daughter
has better manners than these “influencers.”” And many others were also disappointed with
Charli’s comment about her followers writing things like, “charli really should shut
up for saying ‘even numbers’ we are humans and without those ‘numbers’ you wouldn’t
be anything.”
Yep, there were thousands more comments like those.
The video is still trending on YouTube days after it was uploaded and the comments are
still rolling in.
Dixie hopped on TikTok late Wednesday night to respond to the backlash.
She explained that their family and Chef May have been working together for a while making
content together and forming a friendship.
TOSS - “I would never want to be taken as disrespectful especially from an out of context
15 second clip.”
Dixie went on and said that she throws up a lot and that Chef May was in on putting
the snails in the paella so Dixie would have a reaction.
TOSS - “I love chef and I would never disrespect him in any way so maybe don’t judge someone’s
personality over a 15 second video.”
Charli hasn’t said anything about the video yet, but her follower count has started to
go down since she made the comment about wanting to hit 100 million.
BuzzFeed reported that she’s already lost over 500,000 followers and counting.
We will let you know if Charli speaks out and says anything about all of this.
