'Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery your body, your choice. But wow, this is beyond ridiculous! 

The actress added: 'To the random video floating around literally claiming I've had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles) - I have a crooked smile and a weird way of speaking, according to YOU. This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face'.

The claims seem to have angered Alia, with her concluding that they are casually thrown out with 'zero proof and absolutely nothing to back it up.' 

'And now you're confidently tossing around scientific explanations, claiming I'm paralysed on one side? Are you kidding me? These are SERIOUS claims being casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up.

She added, 'What's worse, you're influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage.'
 She questioned as to why this is being said since 'none of it makes sense'.

'Why are you saying this? For clickbait? Attention? Because none of it makes sense. Let's take a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet - our faces, bodies, personal lives, even our bumps are up for critique,' she added.

The actress says individuality should be celebrated and 'not tearing it apart under a microscope'.

'These kinds of judgments perpetuate unattainable standards, where people feel that they are never enough. It is damaging, and it is exhausting. And the saddest part? Much of this judgment comes from other women. Whatever happened to "live and let live"?'

The actress said that everyone has the right to their own choices.

But still, she added, 'Instead, we've become so accustomed to picking each other apart that it's almost normalized. Meanwhile, just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet.'
