Alabama Barker is Travis Barker and his ex, Shanna Moakler’s youngest child. She was born on December 24, 2005, and has lived much of her life in the public eye.
She is seemingly comfortable in front of a camera and has been posting many photos of herself and her interests on social media.
However, her recent Instagram posts of herself in a bikini have sparked a backlash.
Alabama is no stranger to criticism, and she has experienced the dark side of fame. People feel they have the right to comment on her body, even when she was younger.
Still, the recent backlash comes from people who think the photos she posts are inappropriate for her age, and they have started to question her parents’ decision not to step in.
What Has Been Said About Alabama Barker’s Bikini Pictures?
Alabama Barker is a confident girl; if she wants to post photos of herself on the beach, she will. One of her most recent photos is taken from behind, in which she is wearing a thong bikini. “Why’re your pictures nowadays just of your behind?” one fan asked. “Bro, her dad sees these pics,” someone pointed out. Other comments on the post include, “Are u insecure?” “Parenting fail,” and “Girl having no shame, your daddy needs to put some pants on you. He doesn’t need to see your a**.”
Despite this, her father, Travis Barker, commented on her post, writing, “Best trip.” Fans have also reacted with harsh feedback on a compilation of her beach photos from two days earlier. While there are comments praising the young star for her beauty and confidence, others quickly criticize her parents again. “Any education degree is this all you do classy, but then again, look who your mother is,” one comment reads. “You should be embarrassed for yourself and of yourself,” another adds.
What Has Alabama Barker Said About Her Haters?
Alabama Barker is not afraid to speak up for herself, and she does respond to hateful comments. She addressed her haters in an Instagram Story in September 2023 (via Page Six). “Sometimes, I find myself wanting to clap back. Bite at everyone who barks at me,” she wrote. “But then I look at those people, like really look at them … what kind of life they’re living. The choice they’re making. The things they do. Compared to who I am, what I do & how I live. And that, itself, keeps me humble. Misery loves company, but we’re cut from different cloths, made from different sauces.”
Barker appears to have tough skin regarding negativity, and she does not let other people get her down. She also discussed her approach in an interview with E! News, noting how she realizes the people who criticize her are unhappy. “I just feel like it’s a self-projection, and I hate that for them because I wish them the best, and it’s just them projecting their insecurities,” she said. “And you just need to know to keep going when people do something like that.”
The negative feedback Alabama Barker gets has not stopped her from using social media. She has over 4.5 million followers on TikTok and 2 million on Instagram (not all of them are haters).
