A TikToker claimed that influencer Charly Jordan wanted guests to show their social-media follower counts to get into a party she held earlier this week. Jordan denied the accusation, saying she was actually checking to make sure she followed them to ensure she knew them.

Jordan is an Instagram model with 4.7 million followers on the platform and 7.4 million followers on TikTok where she posts videos of makeup transformations, TikTok dance trends, and personal updates.

A TikTok user who goes by Denise Stephanie posted a video on Monday saying, "I thought y'all were kidding but you seriously gotta show your follower count to get into a party?!!! LA is something different."

In the caption, Stephanie, who has 135,000 TikTok followers, added that "ur fav 'influencers' are all rude as sh!t." The TikTok, which did not mention Jordan by name, has since been viewed 4.8 million times.

According to internet news account Def Noodles, Stephanie followed up with another video, which appears to have been deleted, but has been shared on Def Noodles' Instagram page. In the clip, Stephanie can be seen saying the party was Jordan's Halloween bash. She said while lining up for entry, she heard people in front of her shouting about pulling up their Instagram accounts to show how many followers they had.

The TikToks appeared to come to Jordan's attention. She responded on her Instagram story, writing that people get "so pressed over the dumbest shit" and urged followers not to take life "so seriously."

She also said people were lying because they were "mad they couldn't get into my party."

"Little girls on TikTok making videos saying we asked to see follower count to get in," she wrote. "Absolutely not true. I was trying to let my friends in. Not all the randoms that showed up and destroyed my property and jumped my gate which I'm now having to pay for."

She added, "Why would I let strangers into my house?" and that "people r so rude."

Jordan then posted a video showing what she says was the aftermath of the party. "Y'all broke my motherfucking ping pong table," she said. "My Jenga's broken. Everything's fucked up over there. The front door is messed up. My lights are off the wall."

On Tuesday, Jordan posted a TikTok addressing the original accusation that security was checking guests' follower counts. She said her security wanted to check guests' Instagram pages to see if Jordan followed them, as a means to ensure only her friends were let in.

"Everybody misinterpreted that and started pulling out their phones and showing their follower count for no reason," she said. "I was sitting right up on this wall and literally screamed at everyone, 'I don't give a fuck how many followers you have. If I don't know you, I'm not letting you in.'"

She added that it was "ridiculous" that she had to defend herself over her own party.

Stephanie and Jordan did not return Insider's requests for comment.
