Online criticism has finally pushed Alabama Barker to breaking point, at least in her own words. The influencer says relentless body-shaming is the reason she threatened to take the 'highest dose of Ozempic'.
She insists years of cruel remarks about her appearance have left her emotionally drained. Alabama says she reached the point where she felt driven to make an extreme statement in the hope that the abuse would finally stop.
Cruel Comments Took Their Toll
Alabama Barker did not hold back during a fiery TikTok video posted on 30 July, where she admitted her remarks were not something she considered a good example. Even so, she made it clear that the endless criticism about her body had left her feeling angry and defeated.
The daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler declared that she wanted to take the 'highest dose of Ozempic' and become 'so skinny' that the same people mocking her now would eventually tell her she needed to 'eat a burger'. She also lashed out directly at trolls, saying she was tired of the abuse and wanted it to stop.
Years of Criticism Built Up
While the latest TikTok quickly grabbed attention, Alabama's frustration did not appear overnight. She has spoken publicly several times about struggling with comments targeting her weight and appearance.
Back in 2024, she admitted she had started taking weight-loss medication because she was tired of constantly being labelled 'fat' and 'ugly'. She explained that photos often made her look different from how she believed she looked in real life, adding that the repeated insults had damaged her confidence.
Health Problems Added Another Layer
Alabama has also explained that her weight has been affected by health issues beyond her control. In 2023, she revealed she has a thyroid condition and an autoimmune disease, saying both contribute to fluctuations in her weight.
She stressed at the time that she never wanted young girls experiencing similar changes to feel ashamed of themselves. Alabama encouraged followers to remember that weight naturally changes and insisted there was nothing wrong with that, despite the harsh comments she continued to receive online.
Her Message Has Clearly Changed
Looking back at her previous statements, there is a noticeable shift in tone. Earlier, Alabama encouraged people to protect their peace and ignore online hate, saying critics would always find something negative to say.
This latest video paints a very different picture. Instead of brushing off the insults, she openly admitted they had affected her to the point where she imagined becoming 'so skinny' simply to prove a point to those constantly criticising her appearance.
Weight Loss Drugs in Focus
Although Alabama did not confirm whether she currently uses Ozempic, she previously acknowledged taking weight-loss medication without naming the drug. Her latest comments brought Ozempic into the spotlight because she specifically referenced increasing the dosage as part of her emotional response to online abuse.
Weight-loss medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro were originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, although they have also become widely discussed for their effects on appetite and weight management. Their growing popularity among celebrities has fuelled ongoing public debate about beauty standards and the pressure to stay thin.
Family Story Reflects Bigger Debate
Alabama's comments also come after her mother, Shanna Moakler, publicly discussed her own experience using Mounjaro following a difficult period in her life. Shanna previously revealed she struggled with her weight after losing both of her parents, describing herself as being in a 'very, very dark place'.
Since then, Shanna has said she has found greater confidence and no longer worries about other people's opinions. While mother and daughter have spoken about weight in different ways, Alabama's latest remarks highlight the growing pressure many young public figures face as social media users continue to scrutinise every photo, video and appearance.
For Alabama, the message behind her emotional TikTok was simple. She believes years of online body-shaming pushed her to make an extreme statement, not because she wanted attention, but because she felt worn down by criticism that never seemed to end.
