Shanna Moakler, the ex-wife of Travis Barker, has reignited her feud with Kourtney Kardashian by claiming that the reality TV star is not a good stepmom to Moakler's two children with Barker. Moakler made the allegations during an appearance on the 'When Reality Hits' podcast, saying she feels 'certain lines were crossed' regarding her kids and their new stepmom. The former model also rehashed past claims about an 'inappropriate relationship' between Barker and Kim Kardashian, which she says led to her divorce from the Blink-182 drummer.

Why it matters

Moakler and Kardashian's ongoing feud highlights the complexities of blended families and co-parenting, especially when there are lingering tensions between ex-spouses. The allegations also reignite long-standing rumors about Barker's personal relationships that have followed him for years.

The details

Moakler, 50, claimed on the podcast that she 'felt it wasn't respectful' at times regarding Kardashian's interactions with her two children with Barker - son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20. She said if she were watching Kardashian's own children, she 'would have made sure there were certain lines that weren't crossed,' though she did not specify what those lines were. Moakler and Barker, 50, were married from 2004 to 2008 and starred in the reality show 'Meet the Barkers' together. Moakler also rehashed her longstanding claim that Barker had an 'inappropriate relationship' with Kim Kardashian around 20 years ago, which she says led to her divorce from the musician.

  • Moakler and Barker married in October 2004 and separated in 2006, though they continued an on-and-off relationship before finalizing their divorce in 2008.
  • Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tied the knot in May 2022.
