Charli was recently involved in some explosive drama between TikTok’s biggest stars after she revealed that ex-boyfriend Chase “lilhuddy” Hudson had cheated on her when they were dating. Chase wrote a long apology on Instagram earlier this week and said he wanted to set a “better example” for his followers.
