Addison ‘Rae’ Easterling joked late last night that it was “time to get a job” after her account was permanently banned due to “multiple violations” of TikTok’s Community Guidelines, per a screenshot shared to Twitter.
However, as of this morning, Easterling’s account was back up and running as normal. We’ve reached out to TikTok to see what happened, and will update this post with any additional information.
Notwithstanding the temporary blip, Easterling has done a stellar job of finding work outside of her flagship TikTok hub, which counts 85 million followers.
In addition to signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix following the success of her first film, the gender-swapped He’s All That reboot, Rae also forayed into music with the release of her debut single, “Obsessed,” in March. She also hosts a Spotify-exclusive podcast titled That Was Fun?, and is the proprietor of a cosmetics brand called Item Beauty.
