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 Australian Idol judge, whose real name is Amy Louise Billings, 39, 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 brother's ... 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.'
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.
'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.'

That's cheeky! Dina Broadhurst shows off her trim figure in tiny booty shorts as she goes shopping in Paddington
Dina Broadhurst left little to the imagination as she stepped out in Sydney on Sunday. The 'nude artist', 48, showed off her trim figure in tiny grey booty shorts as she went shopping in Paddington. The glamorous socialite completed her look with a matching coloured top and wore a pair of brown sneakers as she visited local stores. Dina left her long brunette locks out and appeared to be make-up free as she glanced at her phone during the outing. She held an Acne Studios shopping bag as she walked to her car after visiting the store. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The sighting comes after Dina was spotted reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin during a low-key meet-up in Bondi last week. The pair, who made headlines in 2023 when their steamy romance came to light, appeared relaxed and at ease as they enjoyed coffee and conversation in the sun. They then hit Body by Berner for a Pilates session. At one point, the former couple were seen sharing a hearty laugh, with Dina beaming as she leaned across the table. Later, they left the café together and appeared deep in conversation. Their public reunion is sure to raise eyebrows among fans who remember their tumultuous history. Dina and Tony were first linked in early 2023, with the pair quickly becoming fixtures on Sydney's social scene. However, their whirlwind romance took a dramatic turn just months later when it was revealed Tony had split from his wife Shannon Benjamin, following his relationship with the Bondi-based artist. The saga sparked a wave of headlines, with sources close to the couple claiming the relationship had 'fizzled out' just as quickly as it began. In August last year, Dina fuelled speculation of a new romance when she posted a steamy Instagram photo of herself sunbaking in a bikini while a mystery man – believed by some to be Tony – caressed her back. However, she kept mum about her relationship status, never confirming whether she had rekindled things with her former flame. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina doesn't like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to John Winning Jr., known to his friends as Herman. In a huge love life twist, the pair were recently spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy snaps online from their five-star Parisian love nest. However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr., sparking speculation about whether they were back together. Her fling with Kengi followed her blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to Chile for some fun with John Jr., who seems to be her go-to on-again-off-again boyfriend. She and John Jr. originally began dating in March last year, but they broke up in early December on the morning of the wedding of Bernadette Fahey and Jordan Sukkar. The pair were both expected to attend the couple's Scots College wedding, but when Dina rocked up solo, the high-profile guests knew something was amiss. Sources revealed at the time Dina came to the realisation their lifestyles were not compatible after eight months together. John Jr. is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr. and his family is worth an estimated $700million.

Young Aussie business owner breaks down in tears in the Coles carpark after 'devastating' find on shelves: 'I'm just so upset'
An Australian entrepreneur has been left in tears after a trip to Coles left her feeling overlooked and overwhelmed in the competitive grooming and beauty market. Clara Momesso, the founder of boutique personal care brand S'haven Body, broke down in a video after discovering a product similar to her hero launch on supermarket shelves. The product? A pink whipped shaving foam packed with nourishing skincare ingredients - but for a quarter of the price. In an emotional video that's now racked up more than 2.1million views in 24hours, Clara admitted she felt 'really upset' at the discovery. Her tears streamed after seeing a mainstream version of the very concept she spent two years perfecting, appear under a well-known, much larger brand, just months after launching her own. 'I just found out that a very successful personal care brand is coming out with a product that is basically the same as mine,' she said. 'I literally opened my phone, and I saw this brand that's already in all the major supermarkets. They've released a pink shave gel and they're releasing it into Coles and I'm just really upset about it.' Although she's quick to clarify she doesn't believe the conglomerate copied her, Clara admitted the timing felt like a gut-punch after years of hard work and innovation. 'I worked really, really hard on developing a concept that was new that nobody else had done. That was kind of my ticket into retail,' she explained. 'I knew competition was going to come... but I'm just frustrated that they got there first, and I can't compete with them.' While the two products share a striking resemblance in their formulas - both boasting a pink hue, nourishing skincare ingredients, and a sweet scent - they're not identical. However, the price discrepancy Clara highlights has social media, and shoppers, firmly divided. Clara's Shaven Whipped Shaving Foam is a creamy, mousse-like formula enriched with hyaluronic acid and panthenol, designed to hydrate and cushion the skin during shaving. Retailing at $39.95 for 200g, it's positioned as a premium self-care indulgence, with luxe packaging and a strong focus on skin benefits. Gem's Skin-Loving Shaving Gel, on the other hand, is a $10 supermarket buy that 'transforms from a water-activated gel into a soft foam', according to the website. While it also includes moisturising ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera and vitamin E, it leans more into accessibility and convenience - with a slightly smaller 195g size and a more budget-friendly price point. And with Australia's cost of living showing no signs of slowing down, the price gap has sparked a heated debate among shoppers online. 'I'm all for women in business, however need to read the room, as in this climate (which is not the roaring 20's), $40 for shaving foam is out of taste. People are grabbing what is half price or on special,' one commented. 'I can relate to this and I'm proof that if someone is bringing out the 'same' product as you doesn't mean they're better than you… ps. We use and love your product x,' another added. The split reflects a growing tension in beauty retail right now - consumers are craving affordable everyday essentials, but also want to support homegrown innovation. In a statement to FEMAIL, Clara stressed her video was never meant to pit her brand against a major player or drag anyone down. 'They have a product that will serve a portion of the market and mine will serve a different portion of the market,' she said. 'They are two products that solve the same problem and are similar in some ways, but they are different. I know there is space for both brands. I was just sad at the time of seeing their announcement.' Ingredient face-off: What's actually different? Both formulas contain pink-tinted foam, moisturising agents and sweet scents, but Clara's version leans into premium ingredients like hyaluronic acid and panthenol for skin hydration, while Gem's opts for soothing aloe, vitamin E and shea butter. Price and accessibility, of course, are the biggest points of difference with Clara's priced at $39.95 available online only (with $10 postage added to each order), and Gem's $10 version, which is already stocked in Coles supermarkets nationwide. Still, Clara argued that her brand represents far more than just a beauty product, it's about vision, innovation and small business grit. 'I knew the competition was gunna' come, and it's a normal, healthy part of business, but I'm just frustrated that they got there first.' Well, in the theme of popular idiom's, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and clearly, not all good things come to those who wait.

Aussie man's awkward dilemma after barista leaves 'secret' messages on his girlfriend's coffee cups
A boyfriend has spoken out about an awkward yet amusing dilemma after a barista started leaving 'secret' messages on his girlfriend's coffee cups. Jake Craig, from Sydney, said he always makes his coffee using a French press at home - but his girlfriend Beth prefers an espresso from the cafe down the road. Everything seemed fine until the cafe owner casually mentioned to his girlfriend that one of the baristas 'really missed you' after she hadn't come in for a week. Then Jake noticed the tiny compliments the barista had been writing on Beth's coffee cups - including 'My love' and 'My secret love'. 'This guy's trying to steal my girl,' Jake said jokingly, laughing about the situation. It all started when he moved in with his girlfriend just a couple of months ago where they both quickly learned about each other's coffee preferences. 'She doesn't like coffee at home. I like coffee at home,' Jake explained in his video. 'I offer to make her coffee every day like a loving boyfriend would but she doesn't want it because she would prefer an espresso coffee. I don't have that. 'So Beth has been going to this cafe for about three years. They know her, they know her order. She knows the main guy's name, he knows her name. Everyone knows each other.' The co-host of the Relatables podcast said Beth stopped by the cafe the other day - the first time she'd been there in a week. 'She goes in... and the main dude says, "Oh Beth, it's been so long... we missed you" and then he looks over his shoulder at one of the baristas and he goes, "oh he really missed you",' Jake recalled. 'And Beth was like, "what?" And then he says to Beth, "don't tell Jack"... My name's Jake. He doesn't know me that well, he thinks my name's Jack.' But things took an interesting turn when he noticed the barista had drawn a couple of hearts on Beth's coffee cup, along with the words 'My love'. 'It's from the one guy that missed her,' Jake pointed out. 'And I was like, ha ha he he whatever... Beth comes back all smiles and I was like, "oh you know, it is what it is, a nice compliment"... blah blah blah. 'But since then there has been two more messages, so three altogether.' Jake explained that the first message was 'My love while the second had the words 'My secret'. 'The third message is today and Beth is about to show it to me. I have not seen it yet,' he said, as he asked Beth to hand him the coffee cup. The latest message said: 'Beth, my secret love.' 'Oh my god, he's putting them together,' Jake said, suggesting that the barista was combining all the previous messages onto the new cup. Taken aback by the barista's message to his girlfriend, Jake asked, 'What do I do about this? I don't know if they're joking or not, I don't think they're joking. 'Beth's all cheery about it as well.' His girlfriend can be heard responding, 'So funny.' Jake had an inkling the barista didn't like him - after he recently brought his dog Henry into the cafe for a puppuccino. 'So the main guy, he thinks my name's Jack but he's really nice to me, he still says hi... but the guy that's been writing messages to Beth, he wasn't giving me the time of day,' he explained. 'He took my order, he didn't smile, he didn't give a s***. He's like, "What do you want?" 'And I was like, f***, this guy full hates me.' Jake concluded that he wasn't 'threatened' by the barista, but he still wanted to get advice from the internet on how to handle the situation. 'I do think it's crazy,' he said. 'She's not gonna go to a new coffee shop, it's the closest one and she likes the coffee there, whatever, it is what it is, but yes... I need advice.' His video has been viewed more than 295,000 times - with many sharing entertaining advice on what Jake should do next. 'Looks like you're on pickup coffee duty under the name Beth from now on,' one said, laughing. 'You order one for Beth and tell them not to forget the hearts,' another joked. 'When he takes your order or hands you the coffee just say "Thank you, my secret love" and wink. Flip it. Make it fun,' one added. 'Well looks like you are proposing in a coffee shop now,' another hinted, laughing. Many suggested that Jake should invest in an expensive espresso coffee machine and get barista training so he can make cafe-quality brew for Beth at home. Meanwhile, many pointed out that Jake and Beth seemed to be in a 'healthy relationship' so they should just accept the compliments. 'Treat her beautifully and don't worry about it. It's actually a compliment to you and Beth,' one said. 'Can we just appreciate the healthy relationship. The fact you can all just laugh about it - me and my partner are the same. He always tells me "if you get a free drink, get me one too",' another added, laughing. 'The fact she's sharing it with you is green flags for sure,' one shared.
