Alabama Barker is pushing back against the online critics who are accusing her of chasing clout after she opened up about a devastating pregnancy loss.
Barker, 19, took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight, telling folks,
“The idea that l’d ever share something so personal for attention is insane. Accident or not, I don’t need to prove myself by posting. My journey is my own, not a performance and not because someone else shared theirs.”

This all went down after Barker dropped the news about her pregnancy loss in a now-deleted post. The influencer got real emotional in a TikTok video, confessing,
“You know ever since I lost my baby, got cheated on, while also getting hated on, I’d get this feeling like… I’ll never be the same person again.”
The video had some raw moments, including shots of her in tears and a pic showing her stomach in a window reflection. Afterward, she told her followers she was taking a break from social media for a minute, writing, “I’m deleting my tik tok for a little while love you guys be back soon!’”
She even posted the same message on her main Instagram account, adding, “Deleting instagram for a little while, be back soon love you guys.”
While her TikTok is still up, she hasn’t posted anything new since that video. In the meantime, her fans have been flooding her with love and support as she navigates this tough time.
