Bobbi Althoff Fires Back at Divorce Haters: ‘Want Me to Jump Off a Bridge?’

Bobbi Althoff is no longer brushing off the online criticism surrounding her divorce, family, and personal life.

In a TikTok posted April 8, the podcast host responded directly to the flood of comments she says have followed her since the end of her marriage, opening with a line that quickly spread across social media: “I promise you guys, I hate myself more than you could ever hate me.”

The video marked one of the most emotional public statements Bobbi Althoff has made since her divorce from Cory Althoff. Speaking to her 8.2 million TikTok followers, Althoff said she has been inundated with messages accusing her of “ruining” her family and raising her daughters in a “broken home.”

She pushed back against those claims by questioning the idea that anyone would willingly plan for their marriage to fall apart.

“Do you think that when I was a little girl, I was looking at my future and I was like, ‘I really hope when I grow up, I get divorced, and I raise my kids in a broken home?’” she said. “Do you think when I met my ex-husband, I was like, ‘I can’t wait to divorce you one day?’ Or do you think life happened, and I am the one who has to live with what is happening in my life?”

The comments arrive after months of Althoff trying to pull back from the public conversation around her private life. Since confirming in 2024 that she was dating again following her divorce, she has spoken repeatedly about limiting what she shares online.

Earlier this year, she described her relationship with basketball player Tyler Hawkins as “great,” but explained why she keeps it largely off social media.

“He’s all I want for myself in a boyfriend, and we’ve been really happy,” she said in March.

At the same time, she admitted she remains cautious about posting him because, in her words, “the people who follow me don’t want me to be happy, apparently.”

Althoff has previously said she stopped reading comment sections after realizing how damaging they had become. While promoting her Valentine’s Day campaign with Adore Me earlier this year, she explained that therapy and advice from other public figures pushed her to stop engaging with the negativity. “If I see something, I just scroll past it,” she said then.

Despite that effort, the latest wave of criticism appears to have hit harder. In her TikTok, Althoff referenced even more extreme messages, including people telling her they hoped she would die.

“Do you guys want me to jump off a bridge? Would that make you happy?” she asked.
