Blonde beauty Alex Cooper is undeniably a modern-day “it girl.” The internet goes wild the moment she drops a skincare or beauty recommendation, and fans adore her style. But the podcaster said that hasn’t always been the case, revealing that she wasn’t particularly popular or confident growing up. In fact, she was bullied from a young age.
“I was severely bullied for my looks. I was super, super skinny. People made fun of me, said that I looked like I had an eating disorder. I had awful, awful acne to the point where, like, I would beg my parents to let me stay home from school,” Cooper said during an episode of Jay Shetty’s podcast “On Purpose.” she revealed. She continued, explaining that this cruel treatment by her school peers turned physical. “The boys would be like ‘let’s play a game, her legs are so tiny, if we trip her they will snap in half,’” she explained.
Cooper added that by the time she was seven, she hated everything about herself. Reflecting on that feeling, she told Shetty: “I could pinpoint every single thing I hated about myself and it was almost everything exterior wise.”
Cooper didn’t want to open up to her family about what was going on. However, her dad (perhaps unknowingly) helped her by giving her a camera, which she used to film music videos and plays, essentially preparing her for her future career.
