Shanna Moakler has made allegations against her former spouse, Travis Barker, stating that he engages in promiscuous behavior and uses lavish gifts and experiences to win over their children, which she is unable to afford.
The 48-year-old supermodel, who shares two children, Alabama (18) and Landon (20), with her partner, the 48-year-old Blink-182 rocker, recently expressed her frustration and discontent towards him. Additionally, Travis is also a stepfather to her 24-year-old daughter, Atiana, from her previous relationship with Oscar De La Hoya. Now, she has openly criticized and condemned the musician for his actions.
During an intense conversation on the Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, the Playboy model did not hold back in accusing him of grappling with a troubling ‘drinking issue’ and an addictive behavior. Shanna expressed her deep disappointment and anger, stating that he had treated her unfairly. She emphasized that his habitual drinking was a serious concern as well as his womanizing tendencies. Furthermore, Shanna didn’t shy away from criticizing Kourtney Kardashian’s family, describing them as ‘disgusting’.
Travis was accused of engaging in ‘parental alienation’ when he started dating the Poosh founder, who happens to be the mother of his newborn son, Rocky Thirteen. The woman expressed her dissatisfaction by saying, “You’re absolutely despicable. I intentionally distanced myself so that they wouldn’t bond with my children by hating me.” She continued by giving Travis and his new partner the freedom to do what they needed to do, reassuring them of her unwavering love and support. “I will always be here for you as a mother, patiently waiting,” she added. She concluded her statement by acknowledging that there are individuals who dislike the family involved, avoid watching their show, and have no interest in Kim Kardashian’s activities or physical appearance.
According to Shanna, who was previously married to Travis from 2004 to 2008, Travis utilizes his wealth to impress their children and portray himself as the superior parent. She further asserts that when Travis started dating Kourtney, there was a form of parental alienation happening, where Travis always tried to be the “super dad,” even when they were not together anymore. He constantly emphasizes that he is the best parent and has all the advantages, which Shanna acknowledges and admits that he indeed holds the upper hand in terms of money and resources. As a result, she feels that her children have become enamored with the Kardashian family’s glamour and fame, making it impossible for her to compete with that.
She continued speaking, expressing her thoughts on the situation. According to her, there seemed to be a fascination with glitz and fame, as the children had seen it on television and now their father was dating someone from that world. Naturally, young kids would be drawn to that. The children were being showered with expensive brands like Prada, receiving lavish gifts, attending extravagant events, and even meeting famous personalities like Kanye West. It was all grand and grandiose.
However, she admitted that she couldn’t provide the same lifestyle. She didn’t have access to the glitz and glamour they were used to. She didn’t have the financial means to constantly buy them designer brands like Prada or indulge them with expensive gifts. It simply wasn’t within her capabilities.
Furthermore, her house was nothing like Travis’, her ex-partner. It wasn’t a mansion with luxurious amenities. She didn’t have a private movie theatre or golf carts for the kids to drive around in. Her circumstances were different, and she wanted them to understand and appreciate that.
Kourtney is the proud mother of three children named Mason, Penelope, and Reign. These adorable little ones are from her previous relationship with Scott Disick.
