Amid online speculation of a growing rift between Charli and her parents, the social media star's father, Marc, addressed a DeuxMoi report that alleged he and wife Heidi had stolen millions of dollars from accounts they managed for Charli.
"No one called me for an interview. This is not true. We love Charli but she is being manipulated and I have the receipts," Marc commented on the DeuMoi Instagram post. "Over the last six years we have remained silent and never addressed gossip but the time has come to set the record straight."

Marc also replied to a user who pressed if he and his wife had stolen anything from Charli, emphasizing "absolutely not."
"She's always had a team in place lawyers, business manager, manager agent. We purposely set it up that way. Not sure if you know anything about our family, but we were doing fine before TikTok," Marc continued in his reply.
