Bella Poarch’s TikTok Video Gets Removed After Haters Report It for Glitching
Bella Poarch is a Philippine-born American social media personality and a veteran of the United States Military. She rose to fame in 2020 when she created the most-liked video on TikTok, in which she lip-syncs to the song “M to the B” by British rapper Millie B. She is also a singer who released her debut single “Build a Bitch” in May 2021. She has over 92.8 million followers on TikTok, ranking as the third most-followed individual on the platform behind Khaby Lame and Charli D’Amelio.
However, not everything is smooth sailing for the 26-year-old star. Recently, she faced a backlash from some of her fans after she posted a video on TikTok that showed her dancing to a remix of “Build a Bitch” by DJ R3HAB. The video, which was uploaded on June 2, 2023, quickly gained over 20 million views and 4 million likes. However, some viewers noticed that the video had a glitch that caused it to skip at one point. They accused Poarch of using a bot to inflate her views and likes and demanded that she delete the video and apologize.
Poarch responded to the criticism by posting another video on TikTok on June 3, 2023, in which she explained that the glitch was caused by a technical issue with the app and not by her. She said that she had contacted TikTok and they confirmed that there was a problem with their servers that affected some videos. She also showed screenshots of her analytics that showed that her views and likes were organic and not manipulated. She asked her fans to stop spreading false rumors and hate comments about her.
However, her explanation did not seem to satisfy some of her detractors, who continued to bash her and accuse her of lying. They also reported her video for violating TikTok’s community guidelines, which resulted in the video being taken down by the app. Poarch expressed her frustration and disappointment by posting another video on TikTok on June 4, 2023, in which she said that she was tired of being bullied and harassed online. She said that she worked hard to create content for her fans and that she did not deserve to be treated this way. She also thanked her loyal fans who supported her and defended her from the haters.
As of June 5, 2023, Poarch’s video has been restored by TikTok after they verified that it did not violate any rules. However, the video has lost over six million views and one million likes due to the temporary removal. Poarch has not posted any new videos on TikTok since then, but she has been active on other social media platforms such as Instagram and YouTube. She has also received support from other celebrities and influencers who praised her for standing up for herself and speaking out against cyberbullying.
Poarch’s case is not the first time that a popular TikToker has faced controversy over their views and likes. In April 2020, Charli D’Amelio was accused of buying followers after she surpassed Loren Gray as the most followed person on TikTok. D’Amelio denied the allegations and said that she was grateful for her fans who helped her achieve this milestone. In August 2020, Addison Rae was accused of using bots to boost her views and likes after she posted a video that gained over 100 million views in less than a week. Rae also denied the accusations and said that she was proud of her work and did not need to cheat.
These incidents show that being a famous TikToker comes with its own challenges and risks. While having millions of followers and views can bring fame and fortune, it can also attract jealousy and hatred from some people who may try to sabotage or discredit their success. Therefore, TikTokers need to be careful about their content and reputation, as well as their mental health and well-being.
