Bobbi Althoff Claps Back at Critics, Clarifies She Only Had Lip Filler Amid Speculation on Cosmetic Procedures.
Bobbi Althoff, the American influencer and podcaster known for her candid online presence, recently found herself addressing rumors surrounding her appearance. On August 27, Bobbi Althoff took to TikTok to respond to persistent claims that she had undergone extensive cosmetic procedures, particularly cheek fillers. In her video, she set the record straight, revealing that the only enhancement she’s had is a small amount of filler in her upper lip.
Bobbi Althoff Addresses Criticism Head-On
In the TikTok video, which quickly gained traction, Bobbi Althoff expressed her frustration with the ongoing speculation about her looks. Speaking directly to the camera from her car, she voiced her irritation at the comments that accused her of “ruining” her face with excessive fillers. Althoff made it clear that the criticisms were not only misguided but also hurtful.
“I’m so tired of all the com ments of people saying, ‘She ruined her face’ and ‘She can’t even move her face it’s so frozen, she has so much filler,'” Althoff began, addressing her followers and critics alike. “Let me just set the record straight real quick. 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. I do not have cheek filler, but you guys seem to think I do because I put on a lot of weight.”
Bobbi Althoff explained that the changes in her facial appearance were not due to any cosmetic surgery but rather a natural result of weight gain. She shared that after she stopped breastfeeding about a year ago, she gained around 20 pounds, with much of the weight being visible in her face. This, she said, was the real reason behind her altered appearance, not the rumored cheek fillers.

Challenging the Haters
Althoff didn’t stop at just clarifying the rumors. She also used the opportunity to address a broader issue—the negativity and criticism she faces online. “I just don’t understand because I don’t know a single successful person or normal person who leaves hater comments under anything,” she remarked. Althoff also questioned why people felt the need to scrutinize every aspect of her appearance, asking rhetorically, “Can a girl gain some weight in her face without you guys f—ing 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 on it?”
Bobbi Althoff rose to fame in 2021 through her relatable TikTok videos, which initially focused on her experiences with pregnancy and motherhood. By 2023, she expanded her online presence by launching The Really Good Podcast,
