It’s been over a decade since Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler called it quits. Even though the Blink-182 drummer has moved on in his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian (who he welcomed a baby boy with at the end of last year), his ex-wife recently had some harsh words towards him.
During an appearance on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, of which only a teaser has been shared so far, Shanna reflected on her ex’s vices.
Shanna Warned Kourtney About Travis’ Bad Habits
“His drinking is a problem. His womanizing, his addiction,” she said, adding she once thought they were “twin flames.”
She also went on to reference the Kardashians, not shying away from expressing her dislike for Travis’ wife’s family. “F–k you, that family. You’re disgusting. I removed myself so that they couldn’t bond with my children over hating me,” she said.
“Go do what you guys need to do and when you’re ready, I will be here loving you unconditionally,” Shanna continued. “And I will be here as your mother, and I will wait. And that’s what I did.”
“I’m tired of people s–tting on me,” she added. “There are people that don’t like that family, don’t watch their f–king show and don’t give a f–k what Kim [Kardashian] is doing with her ᴀss.”
Travis and Shanna were married from 2004 to 2008. They welcomed two children, son Landon, born in 2003, and daughter Alabama, born in 2005.
The family starred together in the reality show Meet the Barkers, which aired from 2005 to 2006 on MTV, providing viewers with an inside look into their family life. The show chronicled the dynamics of their relationship, parenting, and the challenges they faced as a celebrity couple, but ended shortly before their marriage did, too.
Shanna Accused Travis Of Parental Alienation
Later in the podcast appearance, Shanna accused Travis of parental alimentation, a form of emotional manipulation and psychological coercion that occurs when one parent intentionally undermines and damages the child’s relationship with the other parent, (often resulting in long-term emotional and psychological consequences for the child involved).
“When Travis got with Kourtney, there was some parental alienation going on there, where Travis — even when we weren’t together — always wanted to be the ‘super dad,’” Shanna said.
The reality star said she’s not able to provide the same glamorous lifestyle the Kardashians can, which is why she feels her kids gravitate more towards their father.
“‘I’m the best parent. I’m the this and that, and I’m like, ‘bro, you win.’ Like, you’re the winner here. You have all the money and you have all this. You’re the winner,” she went on.
“I think there was a lot of glitter and fame and they watched them on TV and now their dad is dating one and they’re going to be on the show,” Shanna added. “And I think they got caught up in that, which young kids would do. They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye and, you know, all this big stuff.”
