Charli D’Amelio poked fun at a viral 2020 clip in a new post to TikTok on March 1

In the old video, D’Amelio playfully said she wished she “had more time” to be able to reach 100 million TikTok followers exactly a year after reaching a million, to which creator James Charles responded, “Was the 95 [million] not enough for you?”

“It’s time to admit, yeah, it would have been cool to hit a hundred million after hitting a million,” D’Amelio said in her latest TikTok

Charli D’Amelio can now laugh at her past viral moments.

In a TikTok posted on Sunday, March. 1, the content creator referenced a 2020 YouTube video she made with her parents and sister Dixie in which she playfully lamented that it was going to be slightly more than a year between when she reached 1 million and 100 million followers on the platform.

“Ugh, I wish I had more time,” she said in the old viral clip. “’Cause imagine if I hit 100 mil a year after hitting a mil.”

“Was the 95 [million] not enough for you?” responded beauty influencer James Charles, who was a guest in the video.

“Well, I was just, like, saying, even numbers,” said Charli, laughing.

In Charli’s new TikTok, she sarcastically addressed the 2020 video, saying, “It’s time to admit, yeah, it would have been cool to hit a hundred million after hitting a million. It would have been really f---ing cool. Can you say that you did that? No. Neither can I.”

At the time, the 2020 video — a recorded family dinner — also drew criticism for the way that Charli and Dixie reacted to food prepared by chef Aaron May (Charli made faces while May described the meal, and Dixie made gagging noises before running outside to throw up).

Both sisters addressed the backlash at the time on their respective social media pages. In an Instagram Live, Charli called the incident a “misunderstanding” and said it was “not okay” that people were “blatantly disrespecting her.” Dixie said in a TikTok video that the situation was "ridiculously blown out of proportion,” adding that her family had been working with May for several months and had an “amazing friendship.”

In a 2025 interview with PEOPLE, Charli reflected on those early years of content creation, remembering that it was “incredibly difficult to kind of balance being authentic and also having self-confidence."

At the time, she said she was dealing with “pretty severe” cystic acne, which she said added to her anxiety. For instance, she recalled an old interview clip where she was asked how she felt comfortable being online and posting my face with all of the flaws.

"I thought that that was so interesting because my response to that — and I was so young when I said this — was, 'Well, it's my face,' " she said. "I still stand by that. I wake up every day to this face and there's nothing that I can do to change it."

Charli has since shown off her dance moves on Dancing with the Stars, taking home the Mirrorball Trophy in 2022. And in 2024, the influencer made her Broadway debut in & Juliet, which was later extended through 2025.
