The TikTok stars have been embroiled in a bitter online stouch over the past week, with Testa accusing Paul of fat-shaming a fan in Brisbane and lying about her impoverished upbringing. The ongoing feud appears to be impacting Paul's social media standing, as she has lost nearly half a million followers in the past 30 days.

Paul, who typically posts daily vlogs, responded to Testa's claims in a TikTok video on Monday night after an unusual five-day silence on social media.

In the clip, she denied Testa's allegations before becoming tearful. 'I do not call my fans "fat", that is not who I am and that is not what I stand for, that is not what I have ever stood for, but you guys know me surely?' Paul said. 'I may have called her "sweaty", because when someone is wet and they touch you, and they leave, and you're with your best friend and you're now wet because of them, you may say "I'm now wet".

'This was four years ago, that may have happened. That does not make me a bad person.'. Paul went on to address allegations she lied about her family struggling financially, saying say that the social media posts she made as a teenager of first class travel and designer handbags were all 'fake' and that she 'felt broke'. 'I do not lie about the fact that I grew up broke,' Paul said. 'When I said I grew up broke, that is my experience, that is how I felt. When I can hear my parents talking in the kitchen that the budget for the groceries that week is $30, it makes me feel broke,' she continued.

'When we can't afford school uniforms, it makes me feel broke, when I am 11 and all my friends can afford something and my parents can't, that makes me feel broke. Overall, the feud has cost Paul approximately 469,000 social media followers. In contrast, her online rival, Testa, has seen significant social media growth. Paul, who typically posts daily vlogs, responded to Testa's claims in a TikTok video on Monday night after an unusual five-day silence on social media.

'When they say, "Oh I don't know how we're going to afford rent next week", that makes me scared and makes me feel broke.'. Insisting that photos, unearthed by internet sleuths, showing her teenage years littered with Louis Vuitton purses, first class flights and expensive cars were all 'faked' for views, Anna went on to explain that there is no trace of her actual childhood online. 'The internet has gone crazy, pulling up photos from "Anna's childhood home" that were actually photos from a place I lived in as an adult, somewhere I couldn't even imagine going into when I was like, 7-years-old,' she said.

'I didn't have social media when I was that young. Did the internet even exist in 2006? But those photos of me [as a child] wouldn't even be on the internet.'. Paul said that while it 'does not make me the most broke person on earth' and there are people worse off, 'It does not mean that I am lying.'. Anna likewise addressed her long absence from social media, which many speculated was because she was working with a PR team to formulate a response.
