Fans showed support to Bebe Rexha, wherein one wrote, “I love her for being so unique and real, she loves herself inside and outside and we can see it.” Another wrote, “Beautiful she is.”.

People also called out TikTok’s interface for suggesting the search terms. “Someone at @tiktokus’s policies team needs to change what comes up on the related search bar, right now! This is toxic and terrible!” YouTuber Kandee Johnson wrote. “@TikTokSupport you need to do better. Care about the people on your platform and not make it toxic like this.”
