Alex has been silent on Instagram but posted a new video to YouTube. This one is called "Why I will no longer be posting my daughter on social media - WHEELCHAIRRAPUNZEL." I have no idea why she's got her name in all caps at the end of the title.

Video summary:

She didn't seem happy-- at all-- to be making this video. She's probably pouting because people didn't beg her to keep doing exactly what she's been doing.

Video summary:

Her look for the video:


- She's on the rooftop of her apartment building. There's lots of noise-- wind and all that. It's a terrible place to film a video of yourself talking.
- She's got some sort of band around her wrist-- from a bar, maybe? In a bikini top, looks sunburned.
- Says she deleted the video of herself with Salina because of "hate" and "negative comments."
- Says Salina wanted to help her put the video out to address the rumors.
- Decision not to post Ari anymore was made "collectively, as a family." (X)
- Says she's been sharing her journey of pregnancy and disabled motherhood.
- Says she saw other mothers sharing all of this on social media and thought she should be able to.
- Says she's finally reached her breaking point.
- Claims she's not using Ari for clout. (X)
- Says she's been doing social media for 6 or 7 years "based on my own original content" and therefore doesn't need Ari "to get views."
- Says that she wants to share her life as a creator and talk about how disabled people live their lives. Also "some advocacy along the way."
- Says she was getting burned out with advocacy because she's been doing it so long.
- She keeps squinting because she appears to be facing into the sun.
- Talks a bit about advocacy without really saying anything. Goes on to say that Ari is her "main priority."
- Says she's going to be a more "more privately" but "maybe not 100% privately." Great, so she's going to start posting Ari again, isn't she?
- Thanks the people who support her.
- Says she's gotten messages from people who say they'll miss seeing Ari. [The 18K and counting likes on the "no more Ari" post suggests that these people, if they actually exist, are vastly outnumbered.]
- Random ending where she mutters something unintelligible.
