It all started when her family's YouTube channel debuted Dinner With the D'Amelios, featuring guest YouTuber James Charles.

The backlash was pretty swift after the video showed Charli and Dixie being super rude to their chef, who prepared the family a paella with snails in it.

DiNOT into this behavior (sorry).
Then there was the bit where Charli complained about not having reached 100 million followers on TikTok ā despite being the most followed person on the platform.

For context, Charli earned the most followed title after reaching 41.4 million earlier this year. In the words of James, "Was the 95 [million] not enough for you?"
The video originally seemed disastrous for Charli ā she lost over 500,000 TikTok followers directly afterward.
However, the tides recently started to turn ā leading Charli to post a "THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR 99 MILLION" yesterday.
@charlidamelio THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR 99 MILLION I CANNOT WAIT TO SHARE WHAT I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU ALL VERY SOON!! I LOVE YOU š šš dc @jaedengomezz
