TikTok Star Donelij Speaks Out After His Account Was Banned


TikTok

Chris, known as Donelij on TikTok, speaks out after his accounts were banned.

Chris, who’s garnered over 2.7 million fans as @Donelij on TikTok, is speaking out after his accounts were removed from the popular app following accusations that he was posting homophobic and transphobic content. The 17-year-old tried making a new account under the handle @donelijimnot, but TikTok has since removed that account as well.

Chris rose to fame on TikTok for his comedic facial expressions. He never talks during his videos — most of Donelij’s content are videos of him reacting to other videos or guests. While millions of fans find it hilarious how Chris suddenly switches from a smile to a frown face expression, users online alleged that if a gay or transgender person is the focus of his judgemental looks, Donelij’s followers then go and harass those LGBTQ members.

On September 4, Chris defended himself and his video content. “I want people to know I’m not homophobic or transphobic, he told The New York Times. “The facial expressions I make in my videos are jokes. I myself didn’t think of them as offensive, but I can see how people would take it that way and I don’t want them to feel that way.”

Rob Anderson, 32, who has 904,500 followers on Tiktok, said he that he received death threats after merely speaking up about Donelij’s controversial videos.

“It’s a vicious, intense relentless form of harassment and it’s endless,” Anderson told The New York Times of Donelij’s followers. “These people go through all of your social channels, find any information about you — they sent gay slurs to my agent. It doesn’t stop, it doesn’t go away one day and leave.”

Chris, whose Instagram account remains active, also said that he is no stranger to online harassment. “I get called the N-word, monkey, in my DMs, people saying they’re going to kill me when they see me.”


TikTok Stars Accused Chris of Not Telling His Fans to Stop the Harassment

Tiktok user @goopie, whose real name is Louie, 19, and has 1.1 million followers, shared his message for Chris on the app. Louie said, “Your fanbase harasses literally everyone you duet, and you’ve done nothing about it. Whenever he gets called out he uses the argument that he’s just making a face. But Chris, even though you’re being as vaguely homophobic as possible, you’re still being homophobic.”

“Every time you duet an LGBTQ creator, your fans go to them and leave hate comments, leave harassment, awful things are said to these people,” Louie continued. “That alone should get you to stop. It’s basically a transphobic/homophobic harassment ring that’s about 2.5 million people big.”

In response to the backlash, Chris told The New York Times, “A percentage of my followers are trolls and I feel like they do this because they like getting adrenaline on the internet. I’ll just keep on trying to get my fans to change their ways. I’m trying my best to get my fans to stop doing what they’re doing.”


Numerous Internet Personalities & Fans Continue to Defend Chris Online

Because Chris doesn’t actually say anything in his videos, not everyone supports Tiktok’s ban on his content. Popular Internet personality Keemstar, whose real name is Daniel Keem, called for TikTok to “unban Donelji right now… Apparently, a bunch of psychopaths on Tiktok were calling for him to get canceled because he was reacting to a video where there was a transgender person and they didn’t like his facial expressions? He doesn’t’ even say anything!”

Keemstar also claims those reporting Donelij’s are racist. “He didn’t do anything wrong… He was literally banned based on his facial expressions… the face of a young black man. it appears to me that flagged his account, tried to get him banned, did get him banned are racist.”

A change.org petition entitled, “Free @donelij” has garnered nearly 5,500 signatures as of Friday night.

A spokesperson for TikTok released the following statement on the controversial situation:

We are committed to promoting a safe and positive app environment for our users. Our Community Guidelines outline behavior that is not acceptable on the platform, and we take action against behavior that violates those policies, including by removing content or accounts.
