Marc D'Amelio Breaks Silence on Family Rift, Denies Allegations of Mismanaged Funds

Speculation about a rift between TikTok sensation Charli D'Amelio and her family has intensified, prompting her father Marc D'Amelio to publicly address the claims.

The D'Amelio family gained widespread recognition beyond the social media platform when they launched their reality series on Hulu, which ran for three seasons from 2021 through 2023 before being canceled in June 2024.

Gossip outlet DeuxMoi recently published allegations from unnamed sources claiming that Charli discovered substantial sums had been withdrawn from accounts set up during the period when her parents managed her career. According to the report, these transfers allegedly took place over several years and involved funds earmarked for Charli's personal savings. The sources further suggested that Charli retained legal representation upon learning of the situation and that her sister Dixie has aligned herself with their parents, Marc and Heidi.

Marc firmly rejected the narrative in a comment on the DeuxMoi post shared to Instagram. "No one called me for an interview. This is not true. We love Charli but she is being manipulated and I have the receipts," he wrote. "Over the last six years we have remained silent and never addressed gossip but the time has come to set the record straight."

When a commenter directly asked whether the family had taken money from Charli, Marc responded: "Absolutely not. She's always had a team in place lawyers, business manager, manager agent. We purposely set it up that way. Not sure if you know anything about our family, but we were doing fine before TikTok."

During a TikTok Live session, Marc disclosed that he and Charli are currently not in contact. "She hasn't reached out to me in some time. She's mad at me for something… I gave my daughters everything I thought they wanted and needed. And now you've got a bunch of team [members] around them that think they know what's best for Charli and I have all the receipts," he explained. "The problem is, what am I going to do? If I sue someone, what's that going to do? Drag my family into a lawsuit?"

He further emphasized the motivation behind his parenting decisions. "Going through this process was never about money, it was always about having this crazy awesome experience with my family. As far as stealing money, if anything, I'm owed money," Marc stated.

Heidi's longtime hairstylist, TerraRose Puncerelli, also weighed in on the controversy, commenting on the DeuxMoi post: "I would strongly encourage everyone to not believe everything you read on the Internet."

Social media activity suggests ongoing tension within the family. Charli has unfollowed her parents on Instagram but maintains a following of her sister Dixie, who continues to follow their parents.
