Charli D’Amelio has sparked renewed interest in the 2020 debate over her ‘anxiety pen’, a device that was often thought to be a vape. Initially, fans and influencers suggested it was an anxiety pen, but D’Amelio never clarified this. However, in January 2025, during TikTok’s temporary ban, she finally spoke up about the speculation. Now, people are eager to find out what the TikTok sensation revealed.
Here is what Charli D’Amelio has to say about her 2020 ‘anxiety pen’ controversy.
Did Charli D’Amelio admit to not using ‘anxiety pen’?
Controversy surrounding Charli D’Amelio, TikTok’s most popular user with 152 million followers, resurfaced recently. This debate began in 2020 when footage appeared online showing a 16-year-old Charli possibly using an e-cigarette, which was against the law at her age. Critics criticized her for being a poor role model due to this action, while supporters argued that it was a stress-relief device without nicotine. D’Amelio chose not to address the situation directly, leaving fans to guess about the truth.
In January 2025, when TikTok temporarily banned their service for 14 hours, Charli D’Amelio put an end to persistent speculations by posting a sincere video on TikTok itself. She confessed that the item in question was actually a vape, not an anxiety relief pen as people had assumed. She admitted she was unaware of how the anxiety pen rumor started and apologized for any confusion, lightening the mood with some humor. This revelation sparked fresh conversations, as many fans admitted to defending her earlier without knowing the truth. Some even questioned influencer Larray, who supported the anxiety pen claim in 2020, about whether he started the rumor or merely repeated it.
After the platform was restored, she shared a lighthearted response video on her primary account with the title, “Gosh, this is an awkward moment.” This video soon attracted more than 68 million views.
