But the tone of her social media posts changed recently when she clapped back at people who told her to lose weight in the comments.
Taking to Instagram, Liberty shared a series of sexy bikini snaps where she declared "every body is a beach body" and told her fans to be proud of themselves.
"Just wanted to respond to the recent body shaming on social media by being happy and positive and sending the message that every body is a beach body, and have fun on your holidays because no one's gonna remember what your body once looked like in years or even days to come x," she wrote.
While over on TikTok, Liberty posted a video of her standing sideways in front of a mirror to show off her body and during it, Joshua comes over to playfully give her a pat on the bum.
It came in response to a comment on another one of her videos that told her, "get the portion control under control."
Liberty captioned the video: "This is my normal size 10-12 body. Yes I don't have a super flat stomach but it doesn't matter.
"Every body is different, I've always been a bit curvier and I shouldn't be body shamed for it."
Other people agreed with Liberty in the comment section of the Instagram post.
"So beautiful & so true," wrote one person.
Another added: "You tell them girl."

Influencer & extreme sport enthusiast, 28, died after ‘tumbling through the air' as she fell 60ft off Brit mountain
The influencer was sadly pronounced dead at the scene TRAGIC END Influencer & extreme sport enthusiast, 28, died after 'tumbling through the air' as she fell 60ft off Brit mountain Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN influencer and extreme sports enthusiast died after "tumbling through the air" in a 60ft plunge off a British mountain Maria Eftimova, 28, went hiking up the 3,000ft peak before slipping on rocky ground and tumbling down the mountain to her death. 4 Maria amassed 10,000 followers, showcasing her outdoor lifestyle online Credit: WNS 4 She was a keen mountaineer Credit: WNS Maria suffered fatal head injuries and, despite the best efforts of medical staff, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. The influencer, with more than 10,000 followers, was tackling the notorious Tryfan mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales, when she fell to her death. An inquest into her death heard she was climbing the mountain's notorious north ridge - a popular but dangerous scrambling route. Maria was an experienced mountaineer and had completed an ice-climbing course in Norway shortly before the horror unfolded. The inquest has heard how she posed for a "Mexican wave" with friends before she fell to her death. Fellow climber Harry Jones said the group were going up the face one-by-one when he witnessed Maria's tragic fall. He added: "I could see on one particular ledge Maria stopped in order to get a handhold to pull herself up, I was six ft below her, to the left. "She swung her right leg up to pull herself up. I asked 'Got it well?' and she said 'I think so." He said moments later he witnessed Maria "flying over me" and down the mountainside. The 60ft plummet left Maria with horrific injuries, including a fractured skull.. Coroner Kate Robertson returned a conclusion of accidental death and passed on her condolences to Maria's family and friends. Maria, of St Helens, originally from Sofia, Bulgaria, showcased her outdoor lifestyle online. Terrifying moment Scotland's top ranked skier plunges down mountain & suffers horror injuries Following her tragic death a fundraiser was set up by friends to help cover repatriation costs. Maria's tragic death on February 22nd came less than a week after Dr Charlotte Crook, 30, also died while climbing in the same region. An inquest heard Dr Crook plunged 30ft to her death while walking on Glyder Fach with a fellow medic. Both women were attended to by Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation. 4 An inquest heard Maria posed with pals for a "Mexican wave" before tumbling to her death Credit: WNS 4 Despite the best efforts of medics Maria tragically died at the scene Credit: WNS Speaking of Maria's accident, the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue team said: "A group was ascending the north-ridge when one of them fell 20 metres into steep terrain. "Passers-by with climbing equipment abseiled down and made her safe, and a team member already nearby made his way down and started CPR. "Colleagues from Welsh Ambulance Service stood by at base while the Coastguard helicopter dropped team members onto the mountain. "Unfortunately, the casualty had not survived her injuries, and she was brought down to Oggie base. "The thoughts of all involved are with the casualties families and friends, thank you to all the members of the public who tried to help." Neil Oakes, who was on a slightly different route up the mountain at the time Maria fell, told of his horror at witnessing the tragedy unfold. He said: "I turned and saw Ms Eftimova tumbling through the air below me. She was already in freefall. "I knew there was going to be an impact on the rocky outcrop below so I turned away for a split second. I was shouting 'No, no, no, no.' "When I turned back she was on the ledge below. I knew that it was serious. "I said 'She's gone. She's fallen.' I was in shock."

Awkward four-word detail on cafe receipt raises eyebrows: 'I am guilty of this'
A couple were left highly amused after noticing a very bizarre detail on their receipt after ordering drinks at a cafe. The pair were drinking a latte and cappuccino at Willo Café in Kew, east Melbourne, when they were handed a receipt. A very amusing four-word description of the couple had been left at the top by the waiter. 'Those weird people outside,' it read. The couple shared a video of the receipt to TikTok along with the caption: 'Cafe description a bit different today.' Social media users immediately saw the humour in it and shared their own experiences. 'I once wore a black jacket and a black dress at a restaurant and when I was paying the bill said "Batwoman",' one wrote. 'Once my barista pre-emptively said "your receipt says clown on it but it's only because your t-shirt has a clown on it and we can quickly identify you",' another said. 'Mine once had written on it "special needs" when I asked for a dairy-free alternative,' a third person wrote. Some claimed to be baristas who had deliberately left their own tongue-in-cheek notes on receipts. 'If a lady was ever rude or condescending to me I would always put "older lady" and the colour of their shirt,' one said. 'Sorry but I am guilty of this,' another said. 'I keep forgetting table numbers so I need a way to describe the customers. "Bald dude", "beard dude", "person with the coloured top", "person with the kid".' 'Honestly I always say if customers could see the notes we use to describe them we'd be out of a job,' a third chimed in. A Willo Cafe manager clarified to Daily Mail Australia the pair were well known to staff. 'There's a few couples that we have a bit of fun with and do descriptions of and we've become friends with them,' they said. They said the pair had previously been described on their receipt as the 'gorgeous couple outside' and that staff were coming up with more creative and funny alternatives.
