Alabama Barker isn’t keeping quiet when it comes to negative comments about her lifestyle.
Travis Barker’s daughter, 19, didn’t hold back when she received criticism after posting a TikTok video of her doing her makeup earlier this week.
Alabama had some harsh words for one user who accused her of doing her glam just to “hangout in your room”.
Pulling no punches, Alabama replied: “Why do you feel entitled to comment that knowing you have no idea what I’m doing? Don’t you feel pathetic [laughing-crying emoji] [expletive] I would. Whole time I’m outside.”
When someone else claimed Alabama was only posting content to get people to like her, she snapped: “You think I care if people like me like my life depends on people’s opinions?”
The teenager appeared to have the last laugh, however, and admitted that even the negative attention does wonders for her social media presence.
She explained: “My biggest concern is that they take their time to watch me and comment on my video and give me more attention as well as make my videos have more traction.”

She said: “I’m not going to sit here and lie and say it’s easy and to keep pushing… It gets very challenging especially when they don’t know you. I feel very misunderstood!
“People are going to hate regardless. You need to not feed into it, you won’t benefit from it!”

Alabama isn’t afraid to openly address the criticism she receives, and in August 2023, she spoke about health issues that cause her weight to fluctuate after she was the target of body shamers.
“I also have a thyroid problem and an autoimmune disease. So that’s one of the main reasons why I have weight gain,” Alabama explained, addressing the body shamers directly.
“Weight fluctuates and I don’t want any girls that are young watching this that are gaining weight to ever think there’s something wrong with it,” she added.
Weight loss

“I have, like, this thing where I photograph so ugly, and people are like, ‘Oh, my God – you’re so fat, and you’re so ugly,'” she said.
“And it’s, like, I see what you guys are seeing, but just, like, meet me in person. I feel like I don’t look like that.”

“But I’m on weight-loss medication because I’m tired of being fat and photographing like a damn ogre,” she admitted.
