You read that right: The person who’s amassed the most TikTok followers isn’t a showbiz megastar like Jason Derulo or Reese Witherspoon (though the latter may desperately try to embarrass her TikTok-loving son Deacon Philippe with her attempts at hitting the woah). In fact, D’Amelio—a 16-year-old dancer from Connecticut—blows Derulo and Witherspoon’s follower numbers out of the water. The teenage TikTok star joined the app in June 2019 and by March 25, 2020, dethroned Loren Grayas the most followed user. Nowadays, D’Amelio has 122 million followers on the app and is setting her sights on something much higher than TikTok choreography: TV! After signing with talent agency UTA in 2020, D’Amelio will make her streaming debut in 2021 with an original reality series on Hulu all about her family and her crazy rise to fame.

Was Charli D’Amelio in Outer Banks Season 2?
It looks like Charli may have her sights set on an acting career. In 2020, she voiced a character in the movie StarDog and TurboCat. She’s also been subject of a rumor that she auditioned for Season 2 of Netflix’s latest Gen Z hit, Outer Banks. But as we now know—since Season 2 debuted on Netflix in July 2021—that rumor was just hearsay, as there’s no Charli in Outer Banks. The rumor began when fellow TikToker Brandon Robert made a video saying he auditioned for a role in Season 2, according to Elite Daily. (The video has since been removed). Brandon added that Charli did, too. However, Outer Banks star Chase Stokes—who plays the show’s main character, John B.—debunked all of that on his own TikTok. (Is TikTok now the place where gossip begins and ends? We digress…)
Why is Charli D’Amelio so famous?
She’s not really sure herself! She told The Washington Postshe has no idea why she gets more attention than other TikTokers or why she’s famous. It seemed to start in July 2019, when on her way to dance class, she posted a side-by-side video of her following the dance moves of a user named “Move With Joy.” Her phone started blowing up. “I had like seven followers,” she told The Washington Post. That was until she picked up her phone after class–suddenly, her following had grown to 2,000. While we can’t calculate exactly why it all happened, we can confirm Charli has talent worthy of being followed. Charli has been a competitive dancer for 10 years. In fact, she trained for a short period of time under the guidance of notorious dance coach Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms. She’s also danced on stage with Bebe Rexha, who at the time, was opening up for the Jonas Brothers at the Barclays Center in New York. According to Charli, it was Rexha herself who reached out to her via DM asking if she’d lend her dance skills to the stage. Last but certainly not least, Charli also danced alongside Miss Jenny from the Block herself as part of J.Lo’s Super Bowl Challenge. ICYMI, the J.Lo Super Bowl Challenge went viral after Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Super Bowl performance, which celebrated Latina-American culture and featured some fire choreography. Bottom line, we’ve seen her moves–and we’re not just talking TikTok dances–and she has some serious skill.

What caused all the drama between Charli D’Amelio and Chase Hudson?
Charli’s rise to TikTok fame coincided with a very public relationship and subsequent breakup with fellow TikTok starHudson—a.k.a. Lil Huddy. They got together soon after Chase called it quits with another TikTok star, Cynthia Parker. If you’re not of their generation and can’t imagine your relationship drama being splattered all over the internet, just know that Cynthia and Chase essentially tweeted their breakup… Anyway, back to Charli and Chase. Soon after Chase’s other public breakup, Charli and Chase were TikToking it up, causing speculation that they were dating. Combine that with the fact that both Charli and Chase temporarily moved to LA to live in the mansion that was TikTok Hype House and create TikTok content 24/7, rumors were a’fueling. Chase told Entertainment Tonightin February, “I’m taking it as slow as humanly possible before I pop the question [‘Will you be my girlfriend?’]. But we are very exclusive and very into each other.” Then they started putting their PDA out there for the public to see. We’ll spare you the dramatic details, but by April, it came to light that Chase might’ve been cheating on Charli. Charli’s mom got involved publicly, Chase and Charli ended up leaving the TikTok Hype House, and it was just a massive sh*t show. A few days later, Charli publicly announced their breakup, writing, “Since you guys have watched mine and Chase’s relationship from the start, I decided I needed to tell you all that we are no longer together. It hurts me to say this, but we’ve decided that this is what’s best for both of us. We are still close friends and I would not change that for anything! I truly have so much love for Chase and wish nothing but the best for him. It makes me happy to see all of the great things he has going for him. I’m sorry I waited so long to tell you all. I wanted to take the time to process it for myself. Breakups are tough for anyone, so I’d really rather not talk about it anymore.” Chase also posted, “Charli and I wanted to share with you all that while we will always have love for each other, we are no longer together. Charli is such an amazing person and I am so beyond grateful and blessed to have spent the time I spent with her. We will always be friends and she will always hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. We are sorry it’s taken so long to come forward, but this was something we wanted to process privately first.” Things were quiet on this front for a while, until the breakup fire reignited in July. Charli posted a now-deleted tweet, according to TikTok gossip site Tiktok Shaderoom, “I hope she was worth it.” Chase responded, in a since-deleted tweet, “all of this drama is going on because I kissed Nessa when we were both single,” in reference to Nessa Barrett, a fellow TikTok star. Days later, Chase made a statement on his Instagram Story, apologizing for how he handled the situation. “I should have just done my part and kept it offline. I made sure to apologize to Charli…I’ll be learning a lot from this as a person, growing from it, and setting a better example for all you guys,” he said. Charli also apologized for their scuffle making its way online. “I apologize for what I said. I was extremely hurt, and I felt betrayed. So, I did what I had to do to make myself feel better, but I know that was not the right thing to do, and I will make sure that does not happen again,” she said. All of this is to say, as of right now, it appears that Charli is still fresh off her breakup with Chase and yes, very much single.
