One of TikTok's giants is down, and it's causing quite the stir on the internet!
In the early hours of Thursday, October 15, renowned social media personality Addison Rae took to Twitter to announce that she had been permanently banned from the video-sharing platform.
Alongside a cheeky caption that read, "Well, time to get a job," Rae shared a screenshot of her account with a prompt that revealed that she was banned due to multiple violations of TikTok's community guidelines.
According to reports, there has been a mass wave of creators being removed from the social media platform, but Rae seems to be the first of the famous faces to have suffered such a fate.
It is no news that Rae is one of the big-timers on TikTok, who rose to fame in 2020 amid the pandemic. Before her ban, the 21-year-old boasted almost 85 million followers and more than 5 billion likes.
Her influence on the platform has led to her bagging a Netflix picture, several appearances on famous talk shows, and of course, the coveted MET Gala invitation.
What Do Fans Think?
Following the news, fans have since taken to Twitter to air their opinions about Rae's ban. Many comforted the "He's All That" star calling TikTok irresponsible for banning one of its biggest names. Famous YouTuber Karl Jacobs wrote:
Addison Rae Tik Tok is being a bad bleep, and not in the positive sense.
Some users encouraged the influencer to pivot to the famous OnlyFans promising that they'll stream her content and make her some money. However, others seemed to be grateful that Rae was finally off the platform.

Rae's Birthday Celebration
The TikTok ban comes shortly after Rae celebrated her 21st birthday in style! As she ushered in a new year, the social media personality made sure to leave fans drooling with her banging body.
Leaving little to the imagination, the "Obsessed" crooner donned a tiny floral patterned bikini two-piece as she flashed her cheeky behind, which was covered with sand.
