Later, Addison took to Instagram explain why she had liked the comments on her page in a heartfelt statement, and also reiterated that she has spoken and apologised to Charli about the whole thing.

"Gonna talk about it before it's on here. yes, I did like comments saying 'she deserves the hype' and 'whys charli verified and you aren't' in november," wrote Addison.

"I didn't know her and hadn't met her. THIS IS NO EXCUSE... BUT i will say, i had just gotta out of an extremely toxic and mentally abusive relationship that my heart to shreds. I was fully depressed and hated myself. I thought I was worthless without him after 5 years of being together. I searched for compliments and love from others because I couldn't love myself without him."

She continued: "I do know that i've loved and supported Charli since the day I met her. I think Charli deserves everything she's done & I know she genuinely loves doing this and loves her supporters.

"I already told her that she doesn't need to forgive me, but I will say I was insanely desperate for love at the point in my life and that was what I had."
