Charli D’Amelio Drops Jaws With Sizzling Bikini Pose And ‘Shh’ Tease

Charli D’Amelio is turning up the heat once again, and this time, it’s a sultry backyard moment that has fans doing a double-take. A fan account recently reshared a sizzling snap of the TikTok superstar lounging poolside in a barely-there bikini, and the internet wasted no time flooding the comments with praise. The photo captures Charli D’Amelio kneeling on a striped towel under bright sunshine, her dark hair pulled into a messy bun as she gives the camera a teasing look while holding one finger to her lips in a “shh” gesture.

Followers quickly jumped into the comments section with admiration, leaving messages like “Beautiful,” along with heart-eye emojis and fire reactions that made it clear the post didn’t go unnoticed. Even though the upload came from a fan page rather than Charli herself, engagement numbers still climbed.

While the viral bikini snap proves Charli can still send the internet into a frenzy with a single post, the 21-year-old star has been candid about the emotional toll that constant online scrutiny can take behind the scenes. Despite the glowing comments and heart-eye emojis, Charli has admitted that she no longer spends time scrolling through what strangers have to say about her online.

In a previous conversation with PEOPLE, she revealed that protecting her mental health has meant creating serious boundaries with social media. “For me specifically, I don't know about everyone else, but I don't really look at that stuff anymore,” Charli told PEOPLE over a Zoom call with her family.

The decision didn’t happen overnight. After rising to fame as one of TikTok’s biggest stars, Charli found herself under a microscope, with praise often coming hand-in-hand with criticism. But she says stepping back from the comment section has made a noticeable difference.

“Obviously, every day's different, and sometimes we're going to get down and upset, but I think it's definitely to a lesser extreme. But we also see that on social media, how it affected us in real time,” she continued, noting that their family's reality show captured both their high and low days.

Beyond stepping away from the comment section, Charli has been remarkably open about the deeper struggles she and her sister have faced behind closed doors. The TikTok star has previously shared that she’s battled panic attacks and disordered eating, while Dixie D’Amelio has spoken candidly about her anxiety and depression. The sisters now regularly see therapists, something they’ve both described as a crucial part of maintaining balance in an industry that moves at lightning speed.

For Charli, speaking openly about those experiences has transformed pain into purpose. “People have told me how talking about those things has helped them, and no Internet bully or troll could take that away,” Charli told the magazine.

While she’s found healthier coping mechanisms and support systems, the TikTok superstar acknowledges that mental health isn’t something you simply “fix” and move on from.

“I think you can't just close that book and never read it again. It's something that follows you,” Charli said. “And your job and responsibility for your own mental health is to learn how to best handle that for yourself. Obviously everybody's different and it can be a less consistent pattern, but it's still things that you have to deal with and it'll go up and down... Just day by day, you never know.”
