Alabama Barker shares struggle with autoimmune and thyroid disease amid body-shaming comments
Alabama Barker shares struggle with autoimmune and thyroid disease amid body-shaming comments
Alabama Barker has revealed she struggles with an autoimmune and thyroid disease while addressing body-shaming comments about her weight. The youngest daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker hit out at body-shamers on TikTok after viral paparazzi photos led critics to refer to her as a “catfish”. The 17-year-old began her video by scowling at the camera, before she told her followers: “That’s my face when I see all the fake pages commenting about my weight in paparazzi pictures and saying I’m a catfish or saying I’m fat.” Barker went on to explain how “paparazzi will purposely take pictures” with “your mouth open, middle of sentence and any ugly picture they can get of you just for views”. “I would love to see you guys getting random pictures of you taken of you when you’re leaving the grocery store, in the middle of a sentence, with your mouth wide open - and let’s see how beautiful you look,” she said in the 20 August TikTok. She then revealed that fluctuations in her weight have been a result of her autoimmune and thyroid disease. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, problems with the thyroid include a variety of disorders that can result in the gland producing too little thyroid hormone, called hypothyroidism, or too much thyroid hormone, called hyperthyroidism. Thyroid disorders can affect heart rate, mood, energy level, metabolism, bone health, and the body’s reaction to other hormones. “I also have a thyroid problem and an autoimmune disease, so that’s one of the main reasons why I have weight gain,” Barker said. “So, it would be very appreciated if you guys just keep your opinions to yourself. It will get you further in life.” The teen added that once her thyroid and autoimmune disease are “balanced,” she will go back to her “normal weight”. However, Barker emphasised that she’s only gained “five, 10 pounds” amid her health struggles, which she said is “so normal” for women. “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 continued. “There is a certain point when your health is getting affected by it that you need to change it, but, no. It’s not the case for me, and I would appreciate if you guys put yourself in my shoes.” @alabamabarker ♬ original sound - Alabama barker Since it was posted, Barker’s video has received more than 12m views and nearly two million likes. Many fans applauded Barker in the comments for opening up about her health struggles and shutting down body-shamers. “She’s so real with the thyroid comment because same,” one TikToker commented. “I have thyroid problems and an autoimmune disease too so I understand,” another fan wrote. “Weight really does fluctuate.” A third person said: “You are beautiful!! Stay strong!” Barker’s video comes after paparazzi snapped photos of the 17-year-old with her father, Travis Barker, and her pregnant step-mother, Kourtney Kardashian Barker. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum was seen sporting her growing baby bump, while Alabama was dressed in a graphic black T-shirt, black sweatpants, and an oversized hoodie. This is not the first time Barker has addressed negative social media comments. In April, she called out internet users who shamed her for wearing makeup, claiming that she was too young to wear a full glam. “When Kathryn with three kids only waterline liner, four different coloured blonde, and Tom shoes, talk about my makeup or age,” she captioned her TikTok video, which included the background audio: “I’ll tell you what you look like, but you won’t like it.” Alabama Barker is the youngest daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler. The former couple - who were married from 2004 to 2008 - share 19-year-old son Landon Barker as well. The drummer is also the adoptive father of Moakler’s oldest daughter, Atiana De La Hoya. Meanwhile, Travis and Kourtney revealed they were expecting their first child together last June. The reality star shares three children - Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, eight - with ex Scott Disick. Barker and Kardashian tied the knot in May 2022.

OnlyFans model who sleeps with women insists she's not unfaithful to her fiancé
OnlyFans model who sleeps with women insists she's not unfaithful to her fiancé
A bisexual OnlyFans model has revealed that she only sleeps with women out of respect for her fiancé – but insists she’s not being unfaithful. Karlee Grey, who has 1.65 million followers across Twitter and Instagram (@foreverkarleegrey ) has made a small fortune from the adult site, pulling in over six figures a year. And she’s made it a rule to only make content solo or with other women. The 29-year-old, who has been with her 33-year-old male fiancé, [not named at case study’s request] for six years, actually attributes her racy career to creating a healthier relationship between them. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Her partner even helps out with the model’s OnlyFans page since she joined in 2019, often taking photos and videos of her. "I only work with women and he's completely fine with that," Karlee told Jam Prime. "If anything, it's elevated us and made us explore a little bit more. "He even helps me sometimes with point-of-view filming, and he's my photographer, he takes my photos and edits a lot of my work – he's part of my team.” Karlee, who lives in California, US, says the pair avoid any jealous feelings about her work by making more time to get intimate together. For the couple, the conversation about sleeping solely with women happened naturally after her feelings for him deepened. She said: "There wasn't like a specific way that it was navigated, I personally didn't want to share my body with another male anymore. "Once I started loving someone so deeply, I just felt like I couldn't do that but with women, I'm always going to be attracted to them. "I don't know if I would ever necessarily date women relationship-wise but I'm always going to be sexually attracted and he's aware of that. "He says 'if you already don't want to do it with men then I don't mind if you do it with women' – it's sort of an outlet." For Karlee, who wants to make sure her fiancé is included in the fun, her work is a great way to invite other women to “share” him with her occasionally. And although the pair are careful not to bring women into their emotional relationship, once a year they “have a fun experience” with a third person. Despite her fun-loving demeanour, Karlee, who has been in the sex industry since 2014, is meticulous about who she works with, not only for her safety but also her pleasure. She added: "I personally love women, and I don't want to feel like I'm working with somebody that's not actually enjoying this. "I want to feel like if the cameras weren't on, you would still want to do it –I've only had a couple of bad experiences, mainly because I always choose women who I know really love women.” Have your say in our news democracy.
