Charli D’Amelio Denies Parents Stole Her Money but Confirms She Has Split From the Family Business

Charli D’Amelio has denied an allegation that her parents moved millions of dollars of her money into accounts of their own, while confirming that she has separated herself professionally and financially from her family. The allegation was made in May by the gossip account DeuxMoi, which cited unnamed sources; no court filings or records have backed the claim up. “No, they’re not true,” D’Amelio told The Hollywood Reporter in its cover story, published October 21. “I wouldn’t say that they stole my money.” She then paused and added: “I think we did a lot of things as a family.”

The allegation, as reported by People and The Hollywood Reporter, is that Marc and Heidi D’Amelio moved millions of dollars that were meant for their daughter’s savings into separate accounts. It rests on unnamed sources cited by DeuxMoi in May 2026. People reported that no court filings or records have backed the claim up, and neither parent has been charged with or sued over any such transfer in any proceeding reported by the outlets covering the story. The claim is an allegation, and D’Amelio’s parents deny it.

Marc D’Amelio denied the claims to People in June, calling them “100% not true,” and said on TikTok that he “wouldn’t even know how to do that.” Charli D’Amelio’s own denial to The Hollywood Reporter was narrower than a blanket one: she said the claims were not true and that she would not say her parents stole her money, before adding that the family “did a lot of things as a family.”

What is confirmed, by The Hollywood Reporter and confirmed by People, is the split itself. D’Amelio, 22, has separated herself professionally and financially from her family. The separation began in March 2025, when she started stepping away from the family brands. People confirmed that she has cut ties with the family’s Be Happy Snacks popcorn company. She has unfollowed her parents on social media. Marc D’Amelio told The Hollywood Reporter that he now communicates with his daughter “through her lawyer.”

D’Amelio told The Hollywood Reporter that she only began learning about her own finances at around age 21 and that she now manages her own money. The family’s businesses, including the Be Happy Snacks popcorn company, grew out of the following D’Amelio built on TikTok, and the separation she describes began when she was 21, in March 2025.

People returned to the story on Sunday, October 25, including the D’Amelio family in a roundup of stars who have had financial fallouts with their parents; E! News and Just Jared have also covered the interview. The allegation at the center of it remains what it was in May: a claim by a gossip account, attributed to unnamed sources, denied on the record by both Charli D’Amelio and her father, and not supported by any court filing or record reported to date. The confirmed facts are the denials, the business separation that began in March 2025, the end of her involvement with Be Happy Snacks, and her father’s statement that father and daughter now communicate through her lawyer.
