All about Libby Mae as her followers wish for her speedy recovery

The 20-year-old TikTok influencer was born in England and is known for her lip-sync videos. Libby's first post in 2019 featured her mock singing to Khalid's song, Better. She has since built a following of over 2.5 million. Her lip-sync to Taylor Swift's Love Story got her a lot of TikTok attention in 2020.

The influencer has faced her share of controversies. In mid-2022, Libby Mae received severe backlash from fans after she posted a video of herself and her sister and girlfriend in a pool with the caption:

"Which one is your girlfriend."

Soon, her followers started criticizing her, stating that she shouldn't make content like that with her sister. The clip, which has since been deleted, reportedly showed her 15-year-old sister cuddling and kissing her neck. However, Mae denied the alleged rumors.

Many creators started posting TikToks about the sisters being too friendly, prompting Libby to share a two-part video explanation with an apology. She explained that she was normally cuddling with her sister, adding that the latter did not kiss her neck and saying that it is "only weird for people who make it weird."
