Travis Barker’s daughter, Alabama Luella Barker, has shared screenshots of alleged direct messages (DMs) from mother Shanna Moakler, exposing the Blink-182 drummer of having an affair with “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Kim Kardashian. The DMs also accuses Travis of being emotionally abusive to his ex-wife.
Travis’s teenage daughter seems to have posted the DMs in response to comments from followers on Instagram and TikTok, criticizing her for throwing shade at mother Shanna Moakler. But Alabama Luella Barker has hit back at fans in her recent Instagram stories stating,
“Everybody thinks my mother is amazing, Matthew is nothing but awful to her not only that but he cheats on her, My mom has never completely been in my life, can you guys stop painting her out to be a amazing Mom. Did your mom ask to see you on Mother’s Day cause mine didn’t? I’m done keeping it a secret, reality shows.”
YouTuber Def Noodles has shared a screenshot of the DM story making the rounds on social media. The message shows Shanna addressing her relationship with current boyfriend Matthew and goes on to state she left “Travis because he was emotionally abusive”.
The message alleges that the 45-year-old artist was also having a secret romance with Kim.
“I divorced Travis because I caught him having an affair with Kim! Now he’s in love with her sister.. it’s all gross… I’m not the bag guy!”
