Charli D’Amelio and Dixie D’Amelio have talked about the negative sides of fame
There are likely many people who are envious of Charli and Dixie’s ability to earn a huge income. However, the two sisters have also opened up about the price of fame and money.
For example, during an episode of their podcast 2 Chix in early 2021, Charli talked about how all the mean comments she received made her want to stop posting on TikTok.
“It’s extremely difficult to continue posting a platform where people that are watching your videos don’t actually, like, want to see you and a lot of the feedback is negative,” she admitted.
Charli also added, “That’s why I don’t speak as much besides on the podcast, because it’s scary. Every time I speak, everyone tells me I have no personality or I’m boring or uninteresting or I’m stupid. So it’s like… what do you want me to do?”
On The D’Amelio Show, viewers also saw Dixie breaking down after Vogue’s “24 Hours With Dixie D’Amelio” video received a huge amount of backlash. Some people criticized her because they did not feel she deserved her popularity.
“I’m trying to do everything I can to better myself and it just gets worse,” Dixie cried to her parents.
However, regardless of the constant criticism they face, it seems Charli and Dixie are not letting the trolls affect their career. The two sisters continue to post on social media and create interesting content for fans.
