[jwplayer ksH6zuKH] With 10.3 million TikTok followers and 3.6 million Instagram followers, Nessa Barrett is a formidable force on the influencer scene, despite only being 18 years old. As well as being close with members of the Hype House and Sway House, Nessa has made a name for herself with her natural beauty, dance videos and relatable attitude (you have to give her credit for laughing off moments like farting during a live stream). However, her fame has come with a price. Back in July, she was accused of \u2018copying\u2019 fellow influencer Madison Beer with her debut single \u2018Pain\u2019, and has been open about her mental health issues and struggles with the spotlight. Only recently she publicly begged paparazzi to leave her alone after they photographed her crying in a restaurant. https:\/\/twitter.com\/nessaabarrett\/status\/1301217877048078336 Why are people saying Nessa Barrett altered her spine? Standing at a petite 5ft 3, Nessa Barrett\u2019s height has, for some reason, been a huge source of scrutiny among fans. In May, a video with fellow content creator LuvAnthony caused ridicule amongst fans, with many people pointing out the height difference between the two.

Topic starts at 00:39 \u201cI just find it stupid because people know I\u2019m insecure about my height,\u201d Barrett says in response.

Another pointed out that \u201csaying \u2018it\u2019s just a joke\u2019 isn\u2019t going to stop how she [Nessa] feels about her height.\u201d Taking into account some of Nessa Barrett\u2019s struggles in the past, it certainly wouldn\u2019t hurt if everyone was a little bit kinder to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
