So, Charli D'Amelio lost nearly a million followers in a single day. But, although the numbers look bad on the surface, what they actually reveal is kind of the opposite.

The social media star, famously known as the most-followed person on TikTok, was closing in on the 100 million milestone this week, something which was made even more impressive by the fact it took little more than a year to achieve.
But the 16-year-old found herself on the receiving end of an intense backlash after a disastrous YouTube video uploaded to her family's channel on Monday went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Following the video, Charli and older sister Dixie were called out for what was deemed "ungrateful" and "disrespectful" behaviour towards personal chef, Aaron May, after they aimed a number of negative comments at him and the food.

In fact, it was hard to find any positive feedback on the video at all and the internet was awash with backlash over the rude comments.

However, despite losing close to a million followers in one day, all isn't quite what it seems. In fact, the numbers tell a slightly different story and seemingly reveal that Charli hasn't been "cancelled" after all.
While the majority of criticism about the video focused on Charli and Dixie's comments to the chef, another clip was flying under the radar. It showed Charli talking about hitting the 100 million milestone and seemingly complaining that she wasn't going to achieve the goal by Friday.
