Good Week, Bad Week: Addison Rae’s acting skills criticized, MrBeast’s donations changing lives
August is shaping up to be a busy month for many creators on social media, with Addison Rae set to star in the upcoming ‘He’s All That’ movie and Jake Paul preparing for his fight with Tyron Woodley.
Although plenty of different influencers have projects in the works, not all of them have been met with an entirely great response from social media. However, some creators like MrBeast are getting an outpouring of support from the online community thanks to their new endeavors. But who else has been in the spotlight this week?
Addison Rae is more than a TikTok star. The influencer — who boasts over 80 million followers on TikTok, alone — has already branched out into themakeup industryand themusic biz, and now, she’s stepping onto the silver screen. Rae will make her acting debut in Netflix’s ‘He’s All That’ this August, playing a starring role in the modern remake of the 90’s classic ‘She’s All That.’ While the movie has been waiting in the wings for some time, fans got their first look at the flick a few days ago… and not everyone is impressed. https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1417899492679036930 Much of the criticism for the film stemmed from Rae’s acting skills, with commenters roasting her ability. A number of critics also lashed out at Rae for receiving the main role due to her status as a TikTok star, rather than being a trained actress — criticism similar to what she received afterbecoming an impromptu UFC “reporter.”It doesn’t look like Rae is letting the negativity get her down, though, saying in an interview with Elle: “In this industry, when you come in and get labeled as one thing, people like to keep you there.” ‘He’s All That’ will be available to stream on Netflix on August 27.

However, MrBeast has taken his philanthropic side to the next level with the creation of his new charity, Beast Philanthropy, which is alreadymaking a huge impactfor those who need help. According to Donaldson, his charity has helped donate 550 million pounds of food and has been able to feed five communities “every single month,” as well as helping donation centers and charities at risk of going out of business.
