In a new campaign with Unicef, TikTok stars Charli and Dixie D'Amelio are getting very real about their experiences with cyberbullying. As two of the platform's most popular creators, both sisters have been forced to contend with internet negativity and the real-life fallout it can cause.
"Some of the most hurtful comments I've read about myself online are, 'She's fatter than when we got her famous.' Or, 'she's ugly,'" Charli recalled in the clip.
