An influencer who was banned from TikTok for sharing controversial weight loss advice has clapped back after her content was labeled “dangerous” and “harmful.”
Liv Schmidt recently amassed a following of almost 700,000 people with her videos that experts and dietitians have described as demonstrating an “unhealthy devotion to being thin.”
Critics argued Schmidt was glamorizing disordered eating by emphasizing “it is important to stay skinny” – and called for the 22-year-old corporate worker’s content to be removed.
TikTok has since taken action, shutting down her account and stating she violated community guidelines with her “disordered eating” posts.
While many applauded the move, Schmidt – who lives in New York – has been quick to defend her controversial advice after garnering widespread outrage.
