Trips to the beauty salon are the least of fans’ concerns though. Many think that her inability to say “no” is even putting Ali’s life at risk!
Leah has frequently shared pictures of Aleeah’s cheer tournaments without controversy. However, when Leah recently shared a picture of Ali that has fans divided.
Leah shared a picture of Ali competing with her special needs cheer team. They do routines with Aleeah’s team as well. In the picture, Ali is a flyer, meaning that the young girls from the other team are responsible for holding her up and keeping her safe. Even though it’s clear Ali is enjoying herself, fans were outraged by Leah’s choice.
“The doctors have been saying for years that Ali shouldn’t be on her feet and doing strenuous activity – and yet she’s involved in cheering and softball,” wrote reddit user Stabbymctits.

They continued, “I’m glad that those [activities] give Ali a chance to feel normal and happy, but they’re going to destroy her muscles. I’m not an expert obviously, this is just based on what Leah’s been told for YEARS.”
“Why is Ali a flyer?” asked kelseyxiv. “Good lord that’s like the most dangerous position for her … Just the way she has to be held and caught could hurt her.”
“It doesn’t look like she’s very secure and that worries me. If they dropped her imagine how devastated everyone would be?” user spookyookydoo pointed out. “Leah needs to try making the helmet ‘cool’ and using her wheelchair ‘cool’ as much as she makes cheer ‘cool’… Listen to the d*mn doctors and help her maintain as much of her muscle as she can! There are sports she can be in and be in her wheelchair, which I think would be pretty d*mn cool!”
