Shanna Moakler is burning bridges, blaming it on the cameras, the Kardashians, and her own kids.
This is her long history of trash talk.
Shanna Moakler has made a living from her public profile and the image that she projects
to her fans, both of which came under attack by Travis Barker.
Barker claims that Moakler was, quote, "fake" during the time they were filming their reality
TV show.
Moakler's fame and public image skyrocketed after being featured alongside the Blink-182
star on their very own series, and Barker pegs this as being the pivotal moment in which
Moakler began to change into a person he was no longer aligned with.
Barker accused Moakler of putting on a false display for the sake of fame, and called out
her behavior to the press.
In 2015, Barker authored a tell-all book titled, "Can I Say," and as he retold his life experiences,
he identified the alleged inadequacies of Moakler's behavior and on-screen portrayal,
pointing out that this did not reflect what she was like when the cameras weren't rolling.
He wrote in Radar:
"I felt like having the reality show changed Shanna's character.
Shanna wanted to be an actress, and I felt she started doing things just for the cameras."
Interestingly enough, Moakler was a featured contributor for Barker's book, and she wrote:
"I think the show destroyed our relationship [...] when the cameras stopped rolling, [Travis]
distanced himself from me in every way that he possibly could."
"Be kind to yourself during that process.
Be patient with yourself and heal.
You can do it.
That's it.
Those are my three tips."
Shanna Moakler has displayed some dramatic moments over the years, and Paris Hilton claims
one of them resulted in a physical altercation.
In October 2006, Hilton and Moakler attended the Hyde Club in Hollywood, when Hilton said
she was approached by Moakler in an aggressive manner.
Hilton accused Moakler of using, quote, "the most vile of language."
Before punching her in the jaw, according to Today.
Hilton's boyfriend at the time reportedly stepped in to diffuse the situation and allegedly
harmed Moakler.
Both starlets filed police reports.
It seems this situation left the ladies with bad blood between them.
In April 2007, Moakler boldly posted Lindsay Lohan and Hilton's personal contact information
on her MySpace page, according to TMZ.
Hilton's representatives accused Moakler of being:
"Desperate for press and attention."
Moakler's representatives fired back to say:
"Shanna had valid reasons for her actions and she stands by every one of them."
Shanna Moakler put her personal issues on blast in 2021, this time using the lyrics
from a Justin Bieber song to reflect her strong feelings against the Kardashian family.
She quoted Bieber's hit single "Love Yourself" by posting a snippet of the chorus in the
caption of an Instagram post.
Moakler wrote:
"My mama don't like you, and she likes everyone."
She then proceeded to engage with her followers and commented with a direct reference to the
Kardashians, to drive her message home.
Moakler also threw some shade at the Kardashians by liking a comment that was aimed at them
on Instagram.
According to E! News, the situation began when a user wrote:
"'[...] That broad don't got nothin' on you.
Travis downgraded big time.'"
It was a reference to Travis Barker's romance with Kourtney Kardashian.
And Moakler's encouragement of the Kourtney-Travis comment inspired other users to continue trashing
Kourtney Kardashian – and additional comments soon flooded Moakler's page.
"What are you doing?"
"Working on my trash talk.
You know, to get respect from the other inmates."
She continued to publicly lash out against the famous family by blaming them for causing
her marriage to fail, as well as holding them responsible for interfering in the lives of
her children and fracturing the bond she once shared with her kids.
During an interview with TMZ, Moakler bluntly stated:
"My family is broken because of this family and now my kids and I are alienated from each
other because of another sister in the family, so yay for me."
When the reporter asked Moakler what message she would relay to Kim and Kourtney Kardashian,
she responded by saying:
"Thanks for destroying my family twice."
Shanna Moakler has firmly put the blame on the Kardashians for causing irreversible problems
in her marriage to Travis Barker.
She blamed Kim Kardashian for being the reason her marriage dissolved, by coming forward
with allegations that Kim and Travis Barker had an affair.
This fully loaded accusation simultaneously cast shade on the relationship between the
Kardashian sisters, since Kourtney Kardashian was dating Barker while her sister was being
accused of being intimate with him.
In one swift blow, Moakler's allegations potentially created doubts about the integrity of all
these interpersonal relationships.
The shady comment was viewed by many as being an attempt to create friction between Kourtney
and Travis, while also attempting to divide Kim and Kourtney.
Moakler told Us Weekly:
"I divorced my ex because, I saw them — I caught them having an affair.
Someone sent me all their [text] conversations and I'm also close friends with people who
were there, while things were happening."
Shanna Moakler's arrest record isn't a squeaky clean one.
In December 2014, she and Travis Barker were involved in a domestic dispute which resulted
in them both getting arrested.
In an exclusive report, TMZ explained that both Moakler and Barker were handcuffed and
placed into police custody after allegedly making verbal threats against one another
amid a heated dispute.
Barker allegedly threatened to kill Moakler, and according to the report, she responded
by threatening him in return.
This incident was reportedly the result of a disagreement about Barker wanting to appear
in a reality television show alongside the couple's children.
Per TMZ's report, death threats were uttered by Barker, and Moakler threatened to have
Barker beaten up by her boyfriend, none of which was acceptable behavior, according to police.
In spite of the fact that they were both arrested, charges were not filed against either of them.
However, this unsavory situation led to an investigation by the L.A. County Dept. of
Children and Family Services.
Shanna Moakler has been accused of taking on a very flirty tone with Lamar Odom during
her time on "Celebrity Big Brother."
Her interactions with him created serious tension between her and Matthew Rondeau, who
was her boyfriend at the time.
According to Us Weekly, Rondeau took to his Instagram Story in February 2022 to say:
"What I saw and what I heard on the live feeds between Shanna and Lamar was unacceptable,
and I was not happy about those word exchanges as I stated earlier."
And he expressed that he felt Moakler's behavior was inappropriate.
TMZ reported that Moakler admitted to being in the wrong, and said she understood why
Rondeau was upset.
She attempted to clarify that she was not interested in dating Odom, but that proved
to be too little too late for Rondeau.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Rondeau blasted Moakler.
The two were involved in a heated domestic dispute that same day, and Rondeau was subsequently arrested.
Shanna Moakler's parenting has been put under the microscope by her very own children.
Two of her kids have taken to social media with shocking revelations about their family
dynamics, airing their personal grievances with their mother in a very public forum.
Moakler's daughter, Alabama, put her mom on blast in May 2021 by posting a video to TikTok
and lip-syncing lyrics to "The Letter," by Kehlani, according to Us Weekly.
Alabama's Instagram Story also told a tale of troubled times with her mother.
In the midst of commentary involving a DM Moakler had supposedly sent and, according
to People, Alabama posted a Story explaining:
"My mom has never completely been in my life.
Can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing mom?
Did your moms ask to see you on Mother's Day [because] mine didn't?
I'm done keeping it a secret, reality shows."
Shortly after Shanna Moakler's daughter described her strained relationship with her mother
on social media in 2021, communication between Moakler and her children broke down altogether.
Moakler became completely estranged from their lives, and the family drama unfolded in front
of the media.
In an interview with Page Six, Moakler said:
"Sadly right now at this moment there's still some distance.
I'm just trying to give everybody some space.
So we can heal and come back together again."
Shanna's son Landon responded to a comment made on TikTok that suggested he wasn't treating
his mother well.
According to People, he responded:
"[...] our mom has never been in our lives and isn't there for us like our dad is."
The display of animosity continued on when a TikTok user commented on a video posted
by Landon:
"He looks so much like his mom."
To which the teenager replied, according to Life & Style Magazine:
"I wouldn't consider Shanna Moakler my mom whatsoever."
Shanna Moakler's relationship with her children broke down even more dramatically shortly
after Travis Barker proposed to Kourtney Kardashian.
Moakler had expressed animosity toward Kardashian in the past, and had highlighted her disdain
for the couple's public displays of affection by saying they were, quote, "weird," in a
People interview.
“No one could ever call me a gold-digger.”
When Moakler discovered Kardashian was becoming a stepmother to her children, her anger was
ignited, and observant fans noticed she did something very dramatic on social media.
In October 2021, Moakler seemingly deleted some of the images she had posted of her children online.
Every then-recent photo and video she had put up to highlight moments shared with her
kids was suddenly missing, and was presumably wiped clean by Moakler herself, according
to The Sun.
