Shanna Moakler reveals what really caused her breakup with Travis Barker
Shanna Moakler reflects on her breakup with ex-husband Travis Barkeralleging cheating, trolling and more.
“I was with him in Atlanta for the first three to four weeks, and then we took a tour bus back from Atlanta to the burn center in Los Angeles,” Moakler, 48, said in a teaser for Bunnie XO“S”Dumb blonde“podcast through TikTok on Monday January 8. “This is where it went wrong.”
Moakler appears to reflect on her reconciliation with Barker during his recovery from his near-fatal plane crash in 2008. The text overlay on the video reads, “Shanna breaks down in tears as she talks about what ultimately broke her heart with Travis.”
Barker, 48, married Moakler in 2004, and the couple starred in their own two-season MTV reality series, Meet the Barkers, with their children, Landon and Alabama, and Atiana, Moakler’s daughter from a previous relationship. Barker filed for divorce in 2006, but the couple reconciled several times, including after their divorce was finalized in 2008.
“I’ve never shared this with anyone before, so it’s a little crazy,” Moakler told Bunnie XO on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “I have his computer. And we did it so the kids could FaceTime him, because mind you, the kids hadn’t seen their dad in almost a month and a half now.
Moakler went on to describe the emails she allegedly found on Barker’s computer that led to their breakup.
“When I was setting up his computer and he was FaceTimeing the kids, he was getting a blood transfusion, and I looked at his email and I saw all the emails from all the women,” she said.
In September 2008, Barker was involved in a fatal plane crash that killed four of the six people on board and left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body. It was during his recovery that Barker was reunited with his ex-wife, but the couple called it quits shortly afterwards.
“[The other women] It didn’t bother me as much as it did when he went to TMZ and wrote a comment,” Moakler added in the teaser. “You write a response and then [TMZ] will email you a link and you must click the link to approve the comment. And I saw all these comments in his email that he posted about me on TMZ, about what a mother I was, what a terrible person I was.
“I couldn’t believe he was the one behind some of those comments,” she said through tears. “I left the hospital and went home and cried in my mother’s arms for hours.”
The full interview with Moakler will air on “Dumb Blonde” on Wednesday, January 10.
This isn’t the first time Moakler has claimed Barker cheated on her. That’s what she claimed We weekly in May 2021 with whom he had an affair Kim Kardashian early 2000s.
“I divorced my ex because I saw them – I caught them having an affair,” she claimed. “Someone already sent me theirs [text] conversations and I’m also good friends with people who were there while things were happening. …We were working on our marriage and trying to heal through that affair, that infidelity, [but] he continued [work with her]. And then I got all the text messages and the other third parties let me know. It’s something I was very aware of.”
For his part, Barker wrote in his 2015 book that he “never touched” Kim. He has since moved on Kourtney Kardashianwhom he married in May 2022. The duo welcomed son Rocky in November 2023.
