Podcaster Bobbi Althoff Confronts Long-Standing Claim She's 'Ran Through' After Her Divorce

Bobbi Althoff opened up about the harsh messages she receives on her videos, speaking candidly in an emotional update to her followers. She explained that these comments build up over time and make posting online feel exhausting, even when she tries to stay positive.

The podcaster also shared that she has moved forward with her life and has been in a new relationship for about a year since separating from her ex. She added that finding a new normal after her separation has been important, even though people on the internet often try to twist that story into something negative.

Bobbi is widely recognized for The Very Good Podcast, where she interviews well-known guests, including celebrities like Drake. She said that whenever she uploads a video to her social media pages, she feels overwhelmed by a wave of misogynistic comments about her dating life, which makes sharing content far more difficult than it appears from the outside.

She pointed out that many of the comments she receives accuse her of being 'run through', a phrase used to suggest in a derogatory way that she has slept with a large number of men. She explained that the wording alone shows how some people online use shaming language to tear others down, especially women who speak publicly about their lives.

Bobbi tearfully addressed how often these hurtful messages appear and how deeply personal they can get, sharing that the nonstop nature of the remarks wears her down over time. She spoke about this openly in a TikTok video so people could understand the impact behind the screen.

"If I post any video in general the amount of hate comments I get is unreal," she said.

She also revealed through tears that she tries her best to ignore the negativity, but the sheer volume and cruelty of the messages make it difficult to brush them off. She said that dealing with these comments is something she manages daily, even when she wishes she could simply tune them out.

"As much as I wish that these comments didn't get to me, I'm human," she said. "If you got this many negative things said about you every day, it would get to you, too."

Bobbi went on to describe several of the awful things people write under her posts, sharing that the pattern has been going on for a long time and that strangers online often speak with a confidence that has no grounding in reality.

"They say I sleep with every guest. Literally, I do not, but you won't ever believe that," she said.

The podcaster explained that whenever she mentions anything about her relationship, the comments become even more intense. She said people jump to conclusions and create false narratives about her personal life that have nothing to do with the truth, and these assumptions spread quickly across her pages.

"We've been together for a year, but without fail, every single time I post him, all the comments are about how I'm 'ran through' and, 'Oh, look, another one,' or, 'He probably doesn't know how ran through she is'," she said. "Just mean, mean things."

She added: "I'm not with my ex anymore, and he's in a happy relationship. Why can't I be in one too? He gave me the two best things in my life, and I will forever be grateful for that."

Bobbi then talked about how these comments affect her as a parent and how painful it is when strangers on the internet turn their attention to her family. She said that the negativity makes her question whether posting online is worth it, especially when her children become part of the conversation.

"I tried to tell myself those [comments] don't matter, but then I'm a horrible mother," she said. "I am such a good mother. Anyone who knows me in real life knows I'm an amazing mother, and my kids I care so much about."

She continued by saying that she does not want sympathy from anyone, and that she shared her feelings because she wants people to understand that hateful comments have real consequences. She noted that when someone writes something cruel, it lands on an actual person who has to carry the weight of it afterward.

"I'm saying this because I hope if you're one of the people who hate me, maybe you'll watch this and reconsider it," she said. "And maybe that's asking for too much. Maybe that's an impossible ask."
