10 Photos of Lydia Millen: Influencers Call Out 'Poshfluencer' Over Mystery TikTok Bans

British lifestyle influencer Lydia Millen has found herself at the centre of online controversy after several TikTok creators accused her of blocking them without any prior interaction.

The claims, shared publicly by multiple influencers, quickly snowballed into a broader debate about exclusivity, image management and power dynamics within influencer culture.

Known for her carefully curated countryside aesthetic and luxury-led content, Millen has long cultivated a polished online persona. Her posts showcase fashion, interiors and daily life from her Cotswolds home. But the latest TikTok dispute has shifted attention away from curated feeds and towards questions about how high-profile creators manage visibility, boundaries and brand identity in the algorithm age.

Millen has spoken openly about her journey. She began by vlogging charity shop fashion finds. That approach later evolved into luxury-focused content, and by 2016, she had established herself as a full-time influencer. The recent TikTok bans now raise new questions about how she manages her platform.

Other Influencers Claim That Millen Blocked Them

Confusion surfaced first among budget-focused TikTok Influencers. Several said blocks came without warning, and most claimed that no prior communication existed between them and Millen. Many added that they never even followed Lydia Millen or engaged with her posts.

Creator Lileviex raised an issue publicly through a video. She told followers, 'Lydia Millen has blocked me on TikTok, and it makes me wonder what the final straw was before she did it. Her reaction sparked immediate interest.

Lileviex, whose real name is Lilly Whitfield, shared further details. She said, 'I've never followed her in my life or liked or commented on any videos. I searched her name up, and it said user not found.' That statement encouraged others to check their own access.

Another Social Influencer, JetSetGypsea, known for promoting affordable fashion and travel, soon echoed the confusion. She wrote, 'Oh my god, you will not believe this in one million years, but the girl, same, also had absolutely no communication with her, never commented on anything, never really even watched a video.

JetSetGypsea continued her post with further disbelief. She added, 'I don't follow her, I have never commented on her posts, I've never really watched her videos, and I'm thinking maybe she has just taken her page down – because why on earth would she have blocked both of us?'

Millen's Page Starts to Feel Like 'A Members Club'

As posts spread, speculation followed quickly. Some TikTok users suggested blocks were intentional. One commenter claimed Lydia Millen blocks creators who do not match a 'rich wife' image. Another joked her page now feels 'like a members' club'.

Attention increased when Olivia Attwood joined the discussion. She commented 'Same' with a laughing emoji beneath JetSetGypsea's video. That response pushed the conversation beyond influencer circles.

Not everyone criticised Lydia Millen. Several users defended her approach. One wrote, 'To be fair. I block people I find annoying on my fyp'. Others echoed similar habits.

Another comment explained the behaviour further. A user wrote, 'I block a ton of people. It's nothing personal, just if your vids keep coming up and I'm not interested, etc. Supporters argued that blocking is part of everyday TikTok use.

Some comments turned blunt. One response under JetSetGypsea's post read 'That's a bit harsh. I block people for their comments or I don't want to see their content, it's probably not that deep!'.

Millen Addresses the Issue

Rather than staying silent, Lydia Millen responded directly. She did not deny blocking accounts. Instead, she explained her reasoning clearly.

Replying to one user, she said, 'I curate my feed unapologetically [and] I'm fascinated by how many people don't, and just continue to consume content they clearly don't like'. Her comment quickly circulated.

Many followers supported her stance, arguing that social influencers should control digital spaces. Others praised Millen's honesty around her boundaries.

For now, Millen appears unfazed. But the conversation underscores how even routine digital actions can carry amplified meaning in the influencer economy.
