As the United States banned TikTok, many social media influencers were left stunned and concerned. The popular video-sharing platform’s global user base of over 1 billion felt the impact as US-based accounts went dark.
A slew of reactions poured in from various corners of the world, particularly from those based in the US who have built their careers on the app. Several influencers took to other platforms like Twitter and Instagram to express their shock, disappointment, and even fear for their livelihoods.
Notable mentions include:
Heidi Montag, a former reality TV star, burst into tears as she realized the sudden loss of her 170 million American followers on TikTok. It’s reported that she could have made over $1 million through brand deals and sponsored content.
Mimi Rogers, Tom Cruise’s ex-wife and an actress herself, weighed in on the situation by stating that TikTok’s demise would be devastating for many influencers who have come to rely heavily on it.
Another popular influencer, Lila Moss, shared a heartfelt tribute to her mom Kate Moss as she celebrated her 51st birthday amidst chaos.
