Has Charli D’Amelio’s TikTok been banned? Star’s account was randomly deleted before coming back

TikTok fans scratched their heads on March 27 when it emerged that the platform’s most-followed creator — dancer Charli D’Amelio — had been removed. However, her account was back just about an hour later.

When it comes to TikTok, there are literally no bigger names than Charli D’Amelio. Despite being only 16, the American dancer has amassed an incredible following on the social media app, which sits at 110 million followers at the time of writing.

Her incredible following caused so many TikTok fans to scratch their heads when their account became completely unavailable on March 27th. What made the situation even stranger was that the account resurfaced about an hour later with no explanation from the platform or D’Amelio for its brief disappearance.

Charli D’Amelio regularly stars alongside her older sister, Dixie.

Fans noticed the account was unavailable on the morning of March 27, and many users received the message that TikTok “couldn’t find this account” when trying to reach Charli’s profile.

The message usually appears when an account has been removed or banned, so naturally many fans assumed that was the case. However, the account soon re-emerged in all its glory with its full video profile and follower count still intact.

Has Charlie been banned?

There have been a few theories as to why D’Amelio’s account was temporarily unavailable. As a twitter user pointed out that lately, TikTok has mistakenly banned some users and restored their accounts when they notice the errors.

TikTok mistakenly banned many person accounts and live access. The system is broken. I suspect the same thing happened here

Others suggested that D’Amelio herself deleted the account after making some comments about toxicity and negativity on the app. At just 16, it’s no surprise that with a following of over 100 million people, she’s encountered some troubles.

Whatever the cause, D’Amelio’s account is now back to normal.
