After sharing a TikTok video showcasing her extremely slim frame, YouTuber Eugenia Cooney alarmed her followers.
The hot pink attire Cooney is wearing in the video, which was uploaded on July 21 and has had more than 16.8 million views, was inspired by the "Barbie" film.
"Hiiii im Barbie," Cooney captioned the TikTok post on her YouTube channel, where she has more than 2.13 million subscribers and uploads fashion-related videos.
Her extreme thinness, though, seemed to worry some of her fans, who made comments about it.
One supporter responded, "Wishing you health and happiness."
Another person wished you good health and remarked, "Your energy is beautiful. I hope you can feel strong and healthy."
On platform X, formerly known as Twitter, internet celebrity Oli London also posted the video and commented on her "worryingly thin figure."
In comments, users expressed their concern.
One person responded to London's tweet by saying, "This is very concerning." She's been this way for a while; I'm shocked she hasn't gotten assistance for her issues yet.
Another person added, "I am disgusted that this is being pushed on her social media as a lifelong anorexic who is currently in recovery.
"It is not healthy for any young woman to witness these images. It's quite upsetting.
On London's tweet, an X user said, "I am surprised she has the energy to stand, let alone walk." I sincerely hope she receives comfort and anorexia treatment.
She acknowledged having an eating disorder and attending rehab in the video, according to Metro. Before that, in 2016, several of the YouTube star's followers pleaded with her to get treatment for what appeared to be an eating disorder.
According to an article from Yahoo! Beauty at the time, some viewers wanted her to be banned from YouTube because their thinness was "triggering to her fan base," so they started a petition on Change.org, which has since been deleted.
The petition claimed that while she might not be trying to influence her viewers, revealing more than 50% of her body in videos and photos "does not help girls with Anorexia or any eating disorder." She discussed her journey with PAPER Magazine in 2019.
But you still see others criticizing you and failing to recognize that you are not acting maliciously. She continued by saying that having an eating disorder or a mental condition is "not really something" that a person chooses to have.
Cooney remarked, "It would be fantastic if the internet just attempted to be nice to people. "Showing concern in a kinder way would be way better if they are concerned, even if the person may not listen right away."
