        <content:encoded><![CDATA[
						<p>Charli D&#8217;Amelio has hit a major snag on her way to 100 million followers.</p>
<p>The <strong>16-year-old TikTok sensation</strong> — who boasts the highest follower count on the popular social media platform — appears to be the <strong>latest celebrity</strong> to get canceled. She&#8217;s hemorrhaged 1 million followers after what some perceived as offensive remarks and an overall snotty attitude.</p>
<p>The petty drama started when the D&#8217;Amelio family <strong>posted a video</strong> to their YouTube channel Monday that went viral for depicting a cringeworthy dinner-table disagreement with her parents, Marc and Heidi, her sister, Dixie, fellow TikToker <strong>James Charles</strong> and <strong>personal chef Aaron May</strong>.</p>
<p>The controversial clip, the first in a series called &#8220;Dinner With the D&#8217;Amelios,&#8221; contains a scene where May is explaining the background of the dish he has served, which includes snails.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s classic paella, and it&#8217;s actually an omen of good luck and fortune,&#8221; he says to the D&#8217;Amelio family, who reside in Norwalk, Connecticut.</p>
<p>&#8220;Liars,&#8221; Charli scoffs, with arms huffily crossed.</p>
<p>Dixie — who has 43.8 million followers of her own — taste tests the snail, then convulses, gags and runs outside to vomit in front of May. &#8220;I threw up; that was not good,&#8221; the 19-year-old says.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was a very dramatic scene,&#8221; mama Heidi replies.</p>
<p>Charli then asks her personal chef — who has been <strong>showcased</strong> on the Food Network and inducted into the Arizona Culinary Hall of Fame as a “Chef Extraordinaire&#8221; — if she could dine on <strong>&#8220;dino nuggets&#8221;</strong> instead.</p>
<p>Another groan-inducing scene features Charli whining that she hasn&#8217;t hit 100 million quickly enough. She had 99.5 million followers as of Wednesday — and is now down to 98.5 million as of Thursday night. She had been gaining followers at a rate of hundreds of thousands per day for her hyper-viewed TikTok dances prior to this drama.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ugh, I just wish I had more time because imagine if I hit 100 mil one year after hitting a mil,&#8221; Charli says.</p>
<p>&#8220;95 million not enough for you?&#8221; Charles — <strong>who has a TikTok following of 29 million</strong> — asks sarcastically.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well I was just like saying like, even numbers,&#8221; Charli responds with a shrug.</p>
<p>Commenters have flooded all of the recent videos on the D&#8217;Amelios&#8217; accounts, and multiple influencers and high-profile creators on the platform have responded <strong>expressing criticism and disappointment</strong> with Charli and Dixie&#8217;s bratty behavior — and their parents&#8217; nonchalance about the situation.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" ><iframe title="Video" class='youtube-player' width='640' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/eiOKp2RAcvs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'></iframe></span></p>
<p>Charli has yet to respond to The Post&#8217;s request for comment about the backlash, but Dixie and father Marc — <strong>who is a conservative politician</strong> with a TikTok following of <strong>8.3 million</strong> — have posted half-hearted explanation videos.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey guys, if you are coming here to comment hate like this, maybe hold on one second and know the full story,&#8221; <strong>Dixie says in a TikTok </strong>she posted Thursday morning. &#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful for all of the opportunities I&#8217;ve had, so I would never in any way want to be taken as disrespectful, especially from an out-of-context 15-second clip. So basically, my team knows I throw up a lot. I could throw up at the smell, the thought or the taste of anything. So, when they saw the snails, they were like, &#8216;Oh, let&#8217;s get her and try to see if we can get a reaction out of her.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;I love Chef [May] and I would never disrespect him in any way and maybe don&#8217;t judge someone&#8217;s personality over a 15-second video.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So Dixie, sometimes when you eat food you don&#8217;t like you puke, and we know that because we are her parents and we&#8217;ve seen this happen time and time again,&#8221; papa <strong>Marc adds in a video posted Tuesday</strong>. &#8220;She is a little dramatic, though.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bottom line, Dixie claims, is that her family is just the latest victim of dreaded cancel culture: &#8220;Disgusting,&#8221; she says in her video. &#8220;Stop trying to cancel my parents for calling me &#8216;dramatic.'&#8221;</p>
<p>By Thursday night, Charli was sobbing over the loss of 1 million followers — and pondering quitting the platform where she&#8217;s earned 7.7 billion &#8220;likes&#8221; — in an emotional <strong>Instagram Live video</strong>.</p>
