Allison (Alice) is known on TikTok for being a crunchy mom, vegan, and self-proclaimed tradwife.
>met husband Caleb Bender when she was 14; he was 18>says she left him for two years because he didn’t want to get married and start a family, so she was ~17 and he was ~21>got married as soon as she turned 19; immediately got pregnant>in February 2019, Allison was in a car crash at 29 weeks pregnant>sent to the hospital in an ambulance; delivered the baby via emergency cesarean>baby Aurelia didn’t survive>Allison first blamed the C-section, later the vitamin K injection>announced second pregnancy in February 2020>refused prenatal care because she thinks ultrasounds have radiation>chose to “freebirth” instead>i.e. gave birth alone on her toilet in their apartment; fished out her own placenta from her uterus two hours later>Fern was born in August 2020>Allison believes all women should be willing to die alone in childbirth rather than go to the hospital or have C-sections>Fern is dressed gender neutral, except when Allison makes him wear her dead daughter’s dresses>vegan except for her expensive leather baby stroller>claims her parents were abusive because they fed her meat as a child>anti-vaxx; bragged about telling people not to wash their hands before holding her newborn, but she’s nervous around people who got the covid vaccine>lets Fern eat dirt, sticks, rocks, shopping cart handles, etc. because she breastfeeds>refuses to wear sunscreen or put it on her infant because she thinks vegans can’t get sunburns>believes she is smarter than doctors despite only having a GED & dropping out of college>hasn’t worked since she quit Victoria’s Secret during her first pregnancy because #tradwife>refuses to say what Caleb does for a living; according to a GoFundMe set up after the car crash, he previously worked at a sports bar in a strip mallThere’s definitely loads more and she is sketchy as hell, but all she ever does is posts online, so it’s a lot to sift through.
She’s had some press coverage in the U.S. and U.K., and she obviously likes the attention. Her look has changed drastically since she started getting popular, and it seems slightly at odds with her crunchy all-natural organic vegan persona (hair & lash extensions, acrylic nails, e-girl makeup).
