She used TikTok to express her grievances towards her online haters and wrote of a clip of herself laughing, “When Kathryn with 3 kids, waterline only, 4 different shades of blonde [hair] & Tom’s shoes talk about my makeup or age.’
The clip also showed the influencer saying, “I’ll tell you what you look like, but you won’t like it.”

Barker is often criticized by trolls who think she dresses and acts too mature for her age.
However, many Alabama followers continue to use the comments section to show her support.
One fan wrote, “This 44-year-old mama loves your hair, makeup, outfits, vibes and videos!”
‘Let them know sister!’ another added, while another said, “I’ll never understand why young girls who take care of themselves are frowned upon.” You are beautiful. I love it!’
Another volunteered, “I think people are just concerned about the oversexualization of youth in the Hollywood/Los Angeles culture.”
To that, the blonde makeup mogul replied, “Well, I’m fine, thank you.”
Barker has an older brother, Landon, who is 19. And she is also the younger sister of Atiana De La Hoya, 24, who shares her mother Shanna with ex Oscar De La Hoya.
