Charli D’Amelio and her family—Dixie D’Amelio, Heidi D’Amelio, and Marc D’Amelio—have been some of the most recognizable faces on TikTok since her dancing videos blew up during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Over the years, she’s won Dancing With the Stars, made her Broadway debut in & Juliet, and continued building her empire, working with brands like Prada and Dunkin’ (bring back the Charli drink, you cowards!). They even had a brief stint on reality TV thanks to their Hulu series, The D’Amelio Show.
Though the show was canceled after two seasons in 2024, producers are probably kicking themselves for that because Charli and her parents are reportedly in the thick of some major drama involving a financial dispute—and it’s getting messier by the minute since she seemingly confirmed a rift. Here’s a full timeline of the D’Amelio family feud, and spoiler alert: it all kinda ties back to popcorn. So grab some and get ready to tune in to the drama.
An eagle-eyed fan on the NYC Influencer Snark Reddit noticed that Charli and her parents unfollowed each other on Instagram. As of June 2026, Heidi and Marc still don’t follow Charli (and vice versa), but they all follow Charli’s older sister, Dixie. The reasoning behind the Great D’Amelio Family Unfollowing?
Kind of unclear, but let’s fast-forward to a few months later… On May 30, DeuxMoi released a report where sources alleged that Charli “discovered millions of dollars had been transferred out of accounts that were established during the years her career was managed by her parents” and that the funds “were intended for Charli’s savings.” Per the outlet, “Sources further allege the dispute has caused a major rift within the family, with Charli’s sister Dixie D’Amelio reportedly siding with their parents.” Marc then hopped in Deux’s comments section to debunk the report, writing, “No one called me for an interview. We love Charli, but she is being manipulated and I have the receipts. Over the last six years, we have remained silent and never addressed gossip, but the time has come to set the record straight.” He doubled down on his claim, telling People, “There is nothing to say except the report is 100 percent not true.” The same day Deux’s report dropped, Marc hopped on Instagram Live and pretty much confirmed that there was tension between him, Heidi, Dixie, and Charli.
He alleged that Charli’s business manager was “manipulating” her and sees her as a “cash cow” and claimed that the same manager attempted to do the same with Dixie, who reportedly sided with her parents in all of this. It was always about having this crazy awesome experience with my family,” Marc said of Charli and Dixie’s successful social media careers. He did tell me yesterday when I talked to him that she’s doing fine.
So thanks, Joe, appreciate it.” “We’re destroyed, man. We’re freaking devastated,” he added. We love her.” At some point during the livestream, he seemingly offered more information about the whole thing to strangers over DM.
