Nessa Barrett hits back at critics after posting photo of her smoking Instagram: nessabarrettTikTok star Nessa Barrett has called out critics on her Instagram story after uploading an image of her smoking, with the influencer calling them \u201csoft\u201d and saying she doesn\u2019t care. [jwplayer pNjHVqy4] 18-year-old Nessa Barrett is a hugely popular star on social media app TikTok, with over 13 million followers on the platform alone. Like many on the app, Nessa is known for her lip-sync and dance content, getting millions of likes and views on just about every video she posts. The social media star has also proven in the past that she\u2019s not afraid to speak her mind, whether that\u2019s against criticism directed towards her, or in calling out other people. At the start of the new year, she called out people who weren\u2019t obeying health regulations following a divisive influencer vacation to the Bahamas, calling them \u201cselfish.\u201d However, now the criticism has been directed toward her again after she uploaded a series of pictures with TikToker Cooper Noriega, showing the pair both lighting and smoking cigarettes together. While the image got over 1 million likes, there were some people in the comments who didn\u2019t agree that the image should have been uploaded publicly, telling Nessa that they feel as though she shouldn\u2019t have uploaded them in the first place. View this post on Instagram \u201cYikes, promoting cigarette smoking to your young impressionable fans? Do better,\u201d one commenter wrote, others saying simply \u201cdon\u2019t smoke\u201d and, \u201ccigs are bad for you.\u201d Following the outrage from some commenters, Nessa decided to post one of the messages on her Instagram story in order to respond to the backlash and tell people that she wasn\u2019t bothered. Next to the comment and the image of her and Cooper smoking, she wrote, \u201cyou guys are so soft lmao. Stfu because I don\u2019t care.\u201d Nessa\u2019s response clearly explained where she stands on the subject of the backlash, though it likely wasn\u2019t the response that many wanted to hear. Fans seem to be split down the middle, with many referencing the fact the TikTok star Charli D\u2019Amelio was slammed for a similar situation back in August. Nessa is clearly standing by her new Instagram photos, at least for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
