Addison Rae is one of the most followed creators on TikTok, boasting over 86 million fans on the viral video app, alone.
Boasting a budding makeup empire and a sprouting career as an actress, Rae is just getting started — but despite her sprawling fanbase, the TikToker is facing a large amount of criticism over a simple video.

Addison Rae flamed by critics over “awkward” TikToks
It seems like an accidental post, at first, as though she got interrupted in the middle of filming — but the video remains on Rae’s account, and her comments seem to show that she’s not interested in deleting it.
Critics immediately took to the comments section, calling the video “awkward” and theorizing that no one was actually in the room, at all.
“Ain’t nobody in that room,” one commenter speculated.
“This is boutta go viral and she didn’t even do anything,” another wrote.
“She really watched this and was like, ‘Yeah, this is good to post’ LMFAO,” another said.
Rae quickly hit back at the comment, clarifying by writing: “Or just posted it.”
In a deleted comment, Rae responded to another commenter saying the video gave off “pick me vibes,” asking what the term meant.
