Alabama Barker confronted weight-shamers by explaining that her weight gain was caused by an autoimmune disease. She highlighted that fluctuations of five to ten pounds like hers are common among many girls. The rapper, who is also the daughter of Travis Barker, the drummer of Blink-182, shared a TikTok video addressing comments about her weight and paparazzi photos. The video has garnered over 12 million views since its posting.
In the video, Barker disclosed her struggle with a thyroid problem and an undisclosed autoimmune disease, which she attributed as the primary reasons behind her weight gain. She reassured her audience that once her thyroid and autoimmune disease were balanced, she would return to her normal weight.
Barker further emphasized that weight fluctuation is a normal occurrence and urged young girls not to feel concerned about gaining weight. She clarified that if weight gain negatively impacts health, then it becomes necessary to address it, but that wasn’t the case for her.
According to experts, certain thyroid disorders can cause changes in weight, often associated with autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease. Melanie Goldfarb, director of the Center for Endocrine Tumors and Disorders at Saint John’s Cancer Institute, confirmed this information to Insider in a previous report.
In addition, Barker addressed the issue of unflattering paparazzi photos. She criticized photographers for purposely capturing “ugly” moments of celebrities and challenged them to experience the same scrutiny.
