Shanna Moakler Says Ex Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian Tried To One Up Her As A Parent
Shanna Moakler recently called out her ex, Travis Barker, and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian.
The former pageant queen talked openly about the couple and claimed the Blink-182 drummer and reality TV star were trying to one-up her as a parent to kids-Atiana, 24, Landon, 20, and Alabama, 18-when they first got together.
“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,’” she said during her appearance on the Dumb Blonde podcast hosted by Bunnie XO. “‘I’m the best parent. I’m the this and that,’ and I’m like, ‘Bro, you win.’”
Shanna—who shares Atiana with her ex Oscar De La Hoya and her two youngest with Travis—felt at the time that her kids “got caught up” in the Kardashians’ lifestyle, “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.”
“They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye West and all this big stuff.”
“I can’t give them that,” the 48-year-old added. “I don’t have the money to do that. I can’t buy you guys Prada every other week and stuff. My house isn’t a mansion like Travis. I don’t have a movie theater. I don’t have golf carts for you kids to drive.”
She said she then removed herself from the situation “so that they couldn’t bond over my children hating me,” adding that she told her children, “go do what you guys need to do, and when you’re ready, I will be here loving you unconditionally.”
“I’ve had conversations with them since,” she said, and says that they have since apologized for being “influenced” by the glamour. “We all know the truth. I go to bed at night and I sleep very, very well.”
Shanna and Travis were married from 2004 to 2008.
