Amy Shark's shocking message to a fan who told the singer to ditch her signature top knot bun
Amy Shark has shocked fans after she told a social media troll that she does not care whether he 'lives or dies'. The Australian Idol judge, whose real name is Amy Louise Billings, 39, shared a video on Monday of her performing one of her old songs in her bedroom. A man identified only as 'Rupert' commented critically on the singer's signature bun hairstyle, writing: 'Oh the bun is back ffs get rid of it.' The Australian singer was quick to shut him down in her fiery response. 'I'll have you know that I'm just relaxing at home and my hair is up, so it doesn't go in my food. I also don't give a f**k if you live or die… so there's that,' Amy penned with a shrug emoji.

Some fans were quick to praise the singer's response to the troll. 'Haha! I love whatever is wrong with you,' one commented. 'Get it girl, never get rid of your bun,' added a second. 'Someone call 000, Rupert needs to go to the burns ward,' said another, while one fan simple wrote: 'Wow' in reaction to Amy's words. The ARIA Award-winning artist doubled down on her clapback on Friday as she posted a second video addressing the online interaction. 'This guy wrote a comment to me the other night and trust me I don't read comments, it just happened to pop down while I was on TikTok,' Amy began her video. 'I read it and thought "That's not nice."' 'I mean they all suck and I approve them all because I don't really care. I just replied to him and I absolutely wiped the floor with this guy. She was quick to shut down a social media troll in her comments section 'And now he's all like "Aw but",' she pouted. 'Don't be an a**hole. I'm a bigger one.' It comes after the singer sparked concern among fans last month when she posted a candid and emotional video to TikTok revealing a deeply personal family rift. Amy shocked followers as she opened up about her strained family relationships, saying she doesn't speak to her parents at all – and that the only person she truly cared about has since passed away. 'I don't think anyone on here actually realises just how f**king crazy I could be,' she began in the raw video, staring directly into the camera. 'I don't talk to my parents. Not my mum or my dad. Not even like … like, no one,' she continued. 'The only person that I cared about is dead now. And like, my brothers... We're fine, but he's six years younger than me. So he's not telling me what to do.' Amy then appeared to spiral further as she confessed: 'I could be going f**king crazy, crazy. Like I could do anything. I'm not gonna disappoint anyone.' Amy sparked concern among fans in June after posting a candid and emotional video to TikTok, revealing a deeply personal family rift Reflecting on her upbringing, she added: 'My parents had me when they were like 19 and 20. I found videos - I know what the f**k they were doing.' She concluded the emotional clip with a plea for recognition: 'I just think I need a little more respect from people to be like, wow, Amy turned out pretty good.' The post quickly amassed thousands of views and an outpouring of support, with fans flooding the comments to express concern and solidarity.

Is everything okay? Amy Shark sparks concern as she makes shock confession in worrying video
Amy Shark has sparked concern among fans after posting a candid and emotional video to TikTok, revealing a deeply personal family rift.

The post quickly amassed thousands of views and an outpouring of support, with fans flooding the comments to express concern and solidarity. 'Are you okay Amy?' wrote multiple users, while one added, 'I haven't spoken to my narcissistic psycho parents for over 10 yrs now. Life is so peaceful since I finally deleted them.' Another fan reassured her: 'You are an awesome, talented, most incredible person. Just keep being you.' One comment read, 'I hear you girl! More credit for breaking generational traumas! You are amazing,' while another person shared, 'Only the strong get given the job of breaking generational curses. You got this, well done mate.' The video struck a chord with others who've experienced similar family estrangement, with one viewer admitting, 'I had no choice but to remove some family members. Safest thing for my mental health.' But not all comments were supportive, with some questioning the motive behind the confession. 'Why don't you talk to your parents?' one asked, while another said, 'Am I witnessing an Amy Shark crash out? Because same girl.' Despite the mixed reactions, the overwhelming tone was one of empathy and encouragement. 'You're crazy OMG,' one user joked, while another wrote: 'Love seeing you just being yourself. You are awesome.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Amy Shark's representatives for comment. It comes after the Queensland-born star sold her Tweed Coast home for $2.35million earlier this year, after confirming her relocation to Sydney. In 2024, she also put her waterfront mansion in Queensland under the hammer. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom pad is located in the pricey suburb of Broadbeach Waters, near the Gold Coast and sold for $3.65million in 2024. Amy bought the chic spread in 2018 for $2.25million with her husband Shane Billings. Her sell-off on the Gold Coast came four years after she first talked about moving to Sydney to be close to her music label Sony's HQ in Sydney. 'The Gold Coast will always be home for me,' the Australian Idol judge told The Courier Mail in 2024. 'But I'm looking forward to spending more time in Sydney and basing myself there for the foreseeable future.'
