Before & After Pics Highlight Alabama Barker's Weight Loss From GLP-1 Use
Ever since Kourtney Kardashian made her relationship with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker public, Barker's daughter, Alabama, has been in the public eye. And like other celebrity kids who are budding fashion icons, she has faced scrutiny about everything from what she wears to how her body is changing. This has included speculation about possible weight loss.
But rather than pretend the chatter wasn't happening, Alabama decided to clear up some of the rumors herself on social media. During a TikTok live in 2024, the young star confirmed what some fans suspected. "I'm on weight-loss medication," she stated. Although she has yet to reveal exactly when she started the GLP-1, comparing pictures of the star from 2023 and 2026 proves she's among the list of celebs who look totally different after using weight-loss medications like Ozempic.
In that same TikTok live, Alabama revealed that the public commentary on her appearance isn't something she takes lightly. "I have, like, this thing where I photograph so ugly, and people are like, 'Oh, my God — you're so fat, and you're so ugly.' And it's, like, I see what you guys are seeing, but just, like, meet me in person. I feel like I don't look like that," Alabama said. It's clear the young star has nothing to hide — and that her confidence is unwavering. Of course, with the Kardashian-Jenners being her new family, we'd expect nothing less.
Alabama Barker has opened up about her autoimmune disease
Back in 2023, Alabama Barker clapped back at the negative comments surrounding her appearance in a TikTok video. "Paparazzi will purposely take pictures of you with your mouth open, middle of a sentence, and any ugly picture they can get of you just for views," she explained in the video, adding, "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."
Alabama also revealed that her weight gain is closely tied to the medical conditions she lives with. "I have a thyroid problem and an autoimmune disease, so that is one of the main reasons why I have weight gain," she explained. "So it would be very appreciated if you guys just keep your opinions to yourself." The at-the-time teen added that managing these conditions is key to maintaining her weight. "Once my thyroid is balanced and my autoimmune disease is balanced, I will go back to my normal weight," she added.
Though previously asserting on Instagram (via People) that she was "natural, besides [her] lips," some fans are skeptical, with one claiming in an Instagram comment (via Page Six) a few months later that she'd had "plastic surgery on everything." Alabama shut it down, replying, "hey, let's stop being delusional." The young star may have only recently became an adult, but she grew up surrounded by fame. Perhaps it is precisely because of that that she has no problem publicly addressing speculation about her use of GLP-1s. And for that, many applaud her, as transparency isn't really the norm in the world of the rich and famous.
