Recently a ‘Barbie’ video of beauty influencer Eugenia Cooner went viral that started raising concern about her health. In the video she is showing her version of ‘Barbie’, however her rail-thin appearance continues to raise a wave of concern.
Since 2013, the beauty vlogger has been the focus of controversy when she started posting videos on social media. Apart from gaining controversial comments she also earned herself quite a number of loyal fans, who appreciated her for her beauty knowledge and tutorials.
While some followed her beauty routine and makeup tips, many of her fans had concerns about her health, which came into light once again after she posted her video recently.
Eugenia’s Look in the video
In the most recent video, Eugenia shared her version of ‘Barbie’ makeover. She was seen wearing a two-piece baby pink set, a blonde wig, a few pink accessories and a pair of pink heels. She also had ‘pink’ makeup on with pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick. Though she looked great in her look, it wasn’t the pink outfit that gained appraisal.
Her ‘thin’ frame and extreme skinny appearance was what the fans were commenting about. They asked the vlogger to seek medical help immediately. One user commented that such sick influencers should not be allowed to influence kids and should be banned and hospitalised immediately.
Another user said that she might die soon if she doesn’t seek help. She even questioned the mentality of her followers who are cheering and supporting this behaviour. One fan wished her good health and happiness. Another raised her concern about not getting any help even after so many years. She said that Eugenia has been like this since ages and it is concerning that she didn’t get any help to improve her health.
Another person commented: ‘Oh that is painful to see, that person is near death like that. Not a good person for kids to be inspired by. ‘
Many of her fans took to social media to ask her stop posting such contents since that affects the mental health of a child. In this regard a fan even shared her cousin’s story who tried to follow Eugenia’s routine and lost 17 lbs and fell really ill. She was hospitalised later.
Eugenia Cooner also opened up about her health concerns. She informed her fans that she is suffering from Anorexia and she is seeking help. According to National Institute of Mental Health, Anorexia nervosa is a condition where people avoid food, severely restrict food, or eat very small quantities of only certain foods. They also may weigh themselves repeatedly. Even when dangerously underweight, they may see themselves as overweight.
In the year 2019, the beauty blogger took some time off from social media to seek medical help. However she returned having the same ‘rail-thin’ figure. Some say that she did not receive the care she was supposed to.
A petition was also launched to ban her from sharing content on Change.org. The petition was recently deleted however it was signed by many.
On the issue of leaving a bad influence on people, Eugenia said that she does not have any such intentions and she loves makeup and fashion and she is just sharing her thoughts about it. She also mentioned that she did not invite anorexia in her and she is taking the help she needs. She complained about the people being judgemental and criticising her work not understanding her mental state.
