The 20-year-old TikTok star found herself in hot water after excitedly sharing photos of herself at a preliminary event for the UFC 264: Dustin Poirier vs.
“She did one social activation for UFC where she interviewed Dustin because they’re from the same town, Lafayette,” a source with knowledge of the situation told E! News.
While it’s not unusual for influencers and celebrities to ask questions on the red carpet at events, many folks on Twitter were downright outraged at the idea of her working as a reporter.
She recalled in a video with James Charles in March 2020 that her first trip to Los Angeles in September 2019 included a press opportunity and networking with other influential TikTok creators.
Addison, like many social media stars, has faced criticism for trying to break through to mainstream media.
