Following TikTok sensation Addison Rae’s successful year with her debut acting gig in He’s All That, her growing item beauty makeup business, and a surprising appearance at the MET Gala, she was notified of being suspended from TikTok.

The social media sensation gained stardom through the video sharing platform. Followers were surprised to see a suspension imposed by TikTok, where she happens to be one of the biggest content creators.

At the time of her being suspended, she had amassed over 84.4 million followers on the platform.

The Obsessed singer took to Twitter, sharing the news and joked that she needs to look for a “new job” now that her TikTok account does not exist anymore.

This is not the first time the 21-year-old has been suspended from the video-sharing platform. She was previously banned after making posts that did not comply with community guidelines.

Why was Addison Rae banned from TikTok?

According to a screenshot shared by Addison Rae on Twitter, she was banned from the platform for “violating community guidelines.”

According to the community guidelines, TikTok does not “tolerate activities that perpetuate the abuse, harm, endangerment, or exploitation of minors.” This would include any content which portrays “abuse, exploitation, or nudity” as well.

However, upon taking a closer look at the content shared online by the social media star, one can see that she has not violated the guidelines. In the span of a few hours, her account went on to be restored to normalcy, according to Pedestrian TV.
