A body positive influencer has shared a shocking collage of the hateful messages she had received over her decision not to have children.
On Friday, Gold Coast-based activewear entrepreneur Karina Irby, 34, posted a photo of her and her husband Ryan having fun on the beach.
Karina, who frequently talks about loving her childfree lifestyle with her 1.1million followers, filled her image with screenshots of some of the hurtful comments she had received from haters.
‘When you’re old there is nobody that will take care of you like your children. That is my worst nightmare, to spend my last years alone and die,’ one person wrote.
‘Can’t imagine leaving nothing behind,’ a second person added, and a third user chipped in: ‘This goes against everything our species has fought for.’

Other comments were equally nasty, with one person writing: ‘On behalf of all of humanity, thank you for not bringing more weirdos into this world.’
Karina did not mince words when she revealed what she thought about the comments.
‘We don’t owe the human population anything,’ she said.
‘Our choice is not following a ‘trend’. The hate and threats I’ve received have blown my mind.

‘I hope that by sharing our experience, we can spark more understanding and acceptance for all life choices. Be kind.’
After tying the knot with her husband Ryan Jones in October 2022, the pair mutually decided to keep their marriage child-free and she often shares clips of them living life to the fullest on social media.
Karina exchanged vows with Ryan during an idyllic island wedding on a beach in Bora Bora.

In 2011, Irby founded her swimwear label Moana Bikini, which has gone on to become a household name for women across Australia.
