Popular TikToker Elyse Myers has recently made headlines by deleting all her content on the app, leaving her 7 million followers puzzled. This move came after Myers became the target of a movement known as Operation Watermelon.
Operation Watermelon, initiated by a TikTok user, aims to raise awareness about the situation in Gaza and the hardships faced by Palestinians. Supporters of the movement urged big creators and celebrities, including Myers, to speak out on these issues.
Initially, Operation Watermelon supporters were instructed to focus on one to two of Myers' videos. However, comments related to Gaza began flooding almost all of Myers' posts dating back to October. While some criticized the movement for pressuring Myers, others defended it as a means to promote awareness and education.
It is worth noting that Myers has not officially confirmed whether Operation Watermelon is the reason behind her departure from the platform. Another significant factor that could explain her absence is the health condition of her newborn child, who was born with a heart defect and has been undergoing surgery.
The situation has sparked a debate among social media users, with some arguing that creators should not be obligated to address political issues, while others emphasize the importance of using their platform for advocacy.
As the mystery surrounding Myers' sudden exit continues, her followers and the TikTok community await further updates on her future plans on the platform.
