'Not OK': Alice Ivy Calls Out Body-Shaming Dillweed For Shitty Behaviour

Objectively, Alice Ivy is killing it at the moment.

She recently attended Canadian Music Week, has been playing headline shows — last week, Sydney; tonight, Melbourne's Northcote Social Club, with The Cactus Channel and Braille Face — and was named on the line-up for both Listen Out and the imminent Splendour In The Grass festival, and even has a collab session with Japanese Wallpaper coming up next week as part of the Leaps & Bounds Music Festival, among other activity (including playing Groovin The Moo in Bendigo and Sydney's Heaps Gay x Vivid event) and increasing renown.

Her recent single Get Me A Drink (ft E^st and Charlie Threads) has also received airplay on triple j and earned her acclaim from coast to coast. She'll have a new track out soon, and her debut album is set to land before the end of the year. She's an excellent musician, a strong performer, and one of the country's more exciting emergent artists.

All that to her name, and she still has to contend with dickheads who think it's cool to be flipping the bird in every photo of themselves making wholly unnecessary comments about her physical appearance. For. Fuck's. Sake.

In a comment on a seemingly now-deleted post about tonight's show, an oxygen thief branded her "seniór flabbeh", which, a) is not remotely how you write "señor", dipshit (sexist and racist, what a guy) and b) has absolutely nothing to do with anything whatsoever.

Either way, Ivy wasn't having a bar of it, screenshotting the exchange — which also included a member of Sydney band Plastic Jack — and posting it to her wall along with the excoriation, "Extremely disappointing to be publicly body shamed on my own page, this type of behaviour is NOT OK — especially from fellow musicians."

Her fans were quick to defend and reassure her, so at least it's nice to know that there are plenty of folks out there who aren't total sphincters. Besides, there's only a handful of tickets left to her show tonight, so, really, who's having the last laugh here?

(Alice Ivy, that's who.)
