Kate Cassidy, 26, has hit out after she was banned from social media platform TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cassidy was the girlfriend of One Direction<\/a> singer Liam Payne<\/a> at the time of his tragi\ufeffc death in 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I literally feel like TikTok, I’m walking on egg shells with this app 24\/7,” Cassidy vented to her 1.8 million followers following the shadow ban.<\/p>\n

This is a method used by social media companies to moderate and restrict a user’s content visibility without letting the content creator know any action has been taken.<\/p>\n

“Do you see the angle I am filming from, by the way?” Cassidy continued in the video.<\/p>\n

“I am cutting off pretty much anything below my chest because TikTok always likes to shadow ban me \u2026 because I happen to have, you know, bigger \u2026 I can’t even say the word.<\/p>\n

“I guarantee this video is going to get shadow banned because I am wearing nose tape.<\/p>\n

“What the f–k is wrong with you guys?”<\/p>\n

\ufeffCassidy complained she was unable to curse, wear bikinis or wear nose tap for her rhinoplasty in any videos she posted.<\/p>\n

“I just filmed a whole literally like a 30-minute video talking about the cons of not doing research when getting a nose job, because two years later I am getting tape on my nose.”<\/p>\n

Cassidy, who works as an influencer, said she would have to stop speaking and acting freely to avoid her videos being restricted on the app.<\/p>\n
