Alabama Barker, the 18-year-old daughter of rocker Travis Barker, has delivered a blistering retort to cruel online body-shamers, branding their comments "disgusting" in a defiant social media post.
The teenager took to her Instagram Stories to confront the trolls head-on after being targeted with a wave of unsolicited and hurtful remarks about her physique. In a move championed by followers, Alabama refused to suffer in silence, showcasing a new level of confidence and resilience.
"I Am Perfectly Healthy"
In her powerful message, Alabama directly addressed the criticism. "For the people that are so concerned about my weight... I am perfectly healthy," she stated emphatically. "I am covered in tattoos, I am happy in my own skin."
She went on to highlight the absurdity of the situation, pointing out that the very people criticising her were often the same ones following her account. "The fact that you're so concerned about what I look like and my weight is disgusting. The fact that you're on my page concerned about what I look like is even more disgusting."
A United Family Front
Alabama's fierce stance is undoubtedly backed by her famous family. Her father, Travis Barker, drummer for Blink-182, is married to reality TV megastar Kourtney Kardashian, creating a powerful support system well-versed in navigating public scrutiny.
This incident highlights the intense pressure young celebrities face under the spotlight of social media, where unsolicited and often malicious commentary is rampant. Alabama's clapback serves as an empowering example for her millions of followers to stand up against online hate and embrace self-love.
