Remi Bader isn't holding back.

The fashion influencer, 30, confronted her "angry" commenters who've been calling her out for wearing expensive outfits in comparison to looks she's promoted in the past, by sharing her thoughts in a video posted on Instagram.

"Alright, alright, alright. You guys have been getting on me for not having super affordable outfits lately, I understand. I apologize," she begins the clip uploaded on Friday, March 21. "I just wear what I am either sent or what looks good on my body."

"Today, I am here to give you a very freaking cute and trendy and adorable and, I think, affordable outfit. I think I look cool," she continues in the video. "And I'm feeling like I wanna have a night tonight. I don't really know what that entails, but when I think that, usually it happens."

The content creator amassed a following for her realistic try-on hauls and un-filtered opinions about the need for body inclusivity in the fashion industry. Since first uploading to TikTok in 2020, her content has evolved in recent years.

As of late, Bader has posted videos wearing looks from brands like Tory Burch, House of CB, Hervé Léger and Swarovski, among other high-end labels. Fans took notice and were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.

"You look great! But I miss your Zara and Free People funny posts. 😂" wrote one user on her birthday post, featuring Bader wearing a custom sequin evening gown from Undone by Kate.

"Girl, you look great 🤍 I can’t afford anything you wear, but you’re awesome and I love you. So, 🤷🏻‍♀️ whatever," wrote another on her recent Instagram post confronting the commenters.

Later in the video, Bader — who just returned home from Paris Fashion Week — expressed her interest in hitting the town at night, before acknowledging the negative users in her comments again.

"Back from Paris and I'm in N.Y.C.," she says. "I'm feeling good. I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling powerful. I'm feeling like there's a lot of people in my comments that are very angry and having a very rough day."

Bader adds, "And what I want to say to you is Mercury is definitely in retrograde and I know you may be having a hard time, but I'm not." She continues, "I think it just has to take so much pain and energy, so much out of you to be so angry all the time."

"So I'm sending you love and support because I think that's really all I can do and I hope you have just as good of a night as I'm going to have tonight. Okay? I love you guys," Bader concludes the clip, blowing a kiss to the camera.

This isn't the first time Bader addressed negative comments on her videos. In August, she addressed the criticism she's been receiving online about her physique.

She penned a lengthy caption alongside a video shared on Instagram. "I hide a lot of my comments on here for my own mental health. Words like 'fat' 'whale' 'obese' 'skinny' 'tiny' to name a few," she wrote.

"But of course I still see them and it's hard to see the constant conversation about my body on this app, because I also wonder, why does that need to be the most important thing about me?" Bader continued in part.

She concluded, "I am a lot bigger than my body and will always be the same Remi no matter what I weigh, and that I am sure of."
