All of us make mistakes, but for TikTok famous teens like 16-year-old Charli D'Amelio, those small errors play out on the global stage — like reportedly, accidentally deleting your Instagram account. As TikTok's biggest star with a sizeable Instagram following of 18 million, people online noticed quickly that her account had disappeared.
Charli's account appears to have vanished in the early hours of the day on May 15, with people on social media reporting that it seemed to have been deleted. Charli herself tweeted around 4 a.m. ET, "I am not the brightest."
Family members soon got in on the fun: Charli and Dixie's mother, Heidi D'Amelio, tweeted at approximately 5 a.m. ET that she was woken up at 4 a.m. by the sound of crying and laughing, saying that it was Charli reacting to deleting her own account.
Dixie explained the situation on her Instagram story around the same time. "She's not hacked just accidentally deleted her account!" she wrote. "Idiot."
