When internet trolls came for Alicia McCarvell, they had no idea who they were dealing with. The Canadian TikToker, known for her body-positive content, didn’t just brush off the hateful comments questioning her marriage—she took them head-on with wit, grace, and a mic-drop moment that left everyone stunned.
Alicia, who boasts an impressive 5.9 million followers on TikTok, often shares glimpses of her life with her high-school sweetheart and now husband, Scott. But when one of her videos went viral last July—racking up a staggering 52.9 million views—the comment section quickly turned sour.

The video, a playful transition clip of Alicia and Scott in towels before getting dressed for a wedding, was supposed to be lighthearted. Instead, it sparked an avalanche of negativity. Commenters questioned how a “fit” man like Scott could be with a plus-size woman, spouting cruel remarks like, “Their marriage doesn’t add up.”
Alicia wasn’t having it.
“My video went viral, and I know why,” she explained. “By society’s beauty standards, we don’t make sense. The world looks at us and immediately values Scott more than me.”
She laid bare the toxic stereotypes fueling the backlash, calling out how people try to “justify” their relationship by suggesting she must have been thin when they met, rich, or that Scott must have ulterior motives.
“We’ve been taught to value our worth based on our bodies,” Alicia said. “But on Scott’s scale, how well I fit beauty standards isn’t even close to the top. He values my humor, my commitment, my love, and my heart—and none of those change if my body does.”
Her powerful words struck a chord, earning praise from countless supporters. “I saw your video and thought you looked stunning!” one fan wrote. Another shared, “You’ve made me more confident in my relationship—thank you!”
Alicia’s message went beyond defending her own marriage. She challenged her audience to confront the societal standards we’ve all been taught. “If this is how you think, it’s because you’ve been taught to think this way,” she said. “But it’s your responsibility to unlearn it.”
And just like that, Alicia McCarvell turned a moment of online negativity into a rallying cry for self-love and acceptance. Because love, as she so eloquently put it, isn’t a math equation—it’s about valuing what truly matters.
Now, the internet is cheering her on, and Alicia is reminding us all: trolls may bark, but confidence roars louder.
