Fans Are Concerned About American Idol Alum Catie Turner
Earlier this month, Turner shared a series of photos on Instagram to celebrate her 25th birthday.

“Is she ok?” asked one fan. Another responded that Turner has spoken about struggling with an eating disorder in the past. Someone else commented that she is “clearly struggling with a weight issue,” adding, “Prayers for this young lady.”
Other fans called out the comments on Turner’s weight, with one person writing, “Her body is not up for public discussion. Commenting on someone’s weight—whether gain or loss—is invasive and unnecessary.”
