The 36-year-old, who lives at home with her parents, her partner Michael Brunelli and their young son Lucius, was doing a casual Q&A session on Instagram when a troll claimed she was dependent on her parents.
“Why don't you and Michael cover your own expenses? Like the rest of the world,” the troll asked.
Kalifatidis posted a cruel jibe on her social media, saying she was not living with her parents for financial gain.
“Our living arrangement has nothing to do with money. Sadly, you might think we live with our parents to take advantage of the situation. That couldn't be further from the truth,” he wrote.
“In fact, we both enjoy it mutually. Living in a multi-generational household with my parents brings us closer, promotes mutual cooperation, and creates a rich environment where knowledge and experience blend. It also makes my parents happy.”
The influencer added that he feels “sad” for the person who couldn't see the benefits of living with his parents, which have nothing to do with cash.

“It's time you went out and bought your own chopping board,” suggested another.
One wrote: “You really need to leave. She's so tired.”
Someone else advised, “I think people need to understand that this is a mother and daughter who know each other and live with each other. You can't judge it from the outside.”
