Bobbi Althoff is sounding off on people who’ve commented on her changed appearance, saying, “You don’t have to call me out for my insecurities.”
In a post shared to her Instagram page Aug. 26, the Really Good Podcast host said, “I am so tired of all of the comments of people saying, ‘She ruined her face and she can’t even move her face, it’s so frozen, she has so much filler.’ “
“Let me just set the record straight,” Althoff, 27, said. “The only thing I have done to my face is that I have a little bit of filler in my upper lip. Okay? That is it.”

“Can a girl gain some weight in her face without you guys saying she has cheek filler? And can a girl be insecure about her upper lip and get some f–ing lip filler without you guys f–ing commenting under it?“
She continued: “We all know I did it. We can all see it. You guys aren’t f–ing stupid,” she said, “You don’t have to call me out for my insecurities when I do something to change them, because you guys will also be the first people to say, ‘Oh, where is her upper lip?’ “
“My face is not frozen, okay?” she said, pointedly, moving her eyebrows up and down.
Altoff said she doesn’t have cheek filler, even though “you guys seem to think I do because I put on a lot of weight.”
Althoff, who shares daughters Isla, 2, and Luca, 4, with estranged husband Cory Althoff, said that “a year ago I was breastfeeding all the time and when I stopped, I put on about 20 lbs., and a lot of that weight went into my face.”
Breastfeeding can burn 500-700 calories a day, according to the nursing and parenting advocacy organization, La Leche League International. That’s why many women do gain weight when they stop breastfeeding, because “you’re no longer burning those extra 500 or so calories per day,” Selfexplains.
It’s that weight gain, and not fillers, that Altoff says led to her fuller appearance.
She went on to say that people who comment on her appearance “don’t seem to care about your digital footprint,” saying she doesn’t know “a single successful person or normal person who leaves hater comments under anything.”

She advised people to criticize her appearance in a group message to their friends, saying it’s ”rude behavior” to publicly comment.
“You guys can be pretty f—ing brutal to me, and to every single person on the Internet. You guys aren’t nice to anyone, but it’s just annoying and it’s embarrassing for you — not for me.”
“Everyone in my life is good. The only thing that isn’t good is you, apparently, because you’re a f—ing weirdo and you obviously don’t have any friends because if you did, you would be talking s–t about me to them and not under my comments. So take this as a sign to go reflect on all your terrible decisions that have led you to where you are right now.”
“Channel your hate into doing something positive for yourself.”
