Travis Barker‘s ex-wife Shanna Moakler made more shocking allegations about the Blink-182 drummer’s alleged infidelities during an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast.
The 48-year-old model claimed to host Bunnie XO that she had been sent text messages between her then-husband and Kim Kardashian, 43, in the late days of their marriage.
The messages allegedly showed Travis, 48, trying to set up a tryst at one of Kim’s sisters’ houses to ‘f***.’
Shanna, who has made similar claims in the past, also said she ‘caught’ the rocker with Lindsay Lohan during their relationship. Both Travis and Kim have strongly denied ever having a relationship in the past.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Barker and Kardashian for comment.
Travis Barker’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler, 48, claimed she saw text messages from her ex-husband Travis Barker, 48, trying to set up a tryst with Kim Kardashian, 43, on Wednesday’s episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast; seen together in 2009 in LA
‘They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f***,’ Shanna claimed. Both Travis and Kim have denied her previously claims of an affair; Kim pictured in NYC in April 2023
According to Shanna, she and Travis were ‘working’ to fix their relationship at the time she was sent the text messages.
‘They were trying to meet up at her sister’s house to f***,’ she said, without specifying if that was the house of Travis’ future wife Kourtney Kardashian or Kim’s other sister Khloé (their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner weren’t even teenagers at the time).
Shanna didn’t share which third party had allegedly sent her the messages, or how they came to be in possession of them.
She added that once she shared the messages with Travis, he allegedly deleted the original versions on his phone and told her, ‘I don’t see anything’ when he made a show of looking for them with her.
Shanna said she called Kim up to confront her about the messages, only for Kim to deny them by allegedly saying, ‘I don’t like white guys.’
‘I was like, “You’ll f*** anyone to be famous.” … Travis and I never really recovered from that. I felt stupid,’ Moakler said.
Barker has previously denied having a romantic relationship with Kardashian in his 2015 memoir Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, And Drums, Drums, Drums, in which he wrote that he and his future sister-in-law had dined out together for lunches and dinners.
Although he admitted to being infatuated with the reality TV icon, he said their friendship didn’t escalate to anything physical.
Kim also denied any affair in 2021 after Shanna previously made similar claims.
‘False narrative!’ she said of the alleged hookup. ‘[Travis and I have] been friends for years and I’m so happy for him and Kourt.’
The drummer has been married since 2022 to Kim’s older sister Kourtney Kardashian, 44.
He and Shanna tied the knot in 2004 but separated in 2006, only to continue their marriage on and off until divorcing in 2008.
She added that once she shared the messages with Travis, he allegedly deleted the original versions on his phone and told her, ‘I don’t see anything’ when he made a show of looking for them with her
Shanna said she called Kim up to confront her about the messages, only for Kim to deny them by allegedly saying, ‘I don’t like white guys.’ I was like, “You’ll f*** anyone to be famous.” … Travis and I never really recovered from that. I felt stupid,’ Moakler said
Moakler also alleged that she caught Barker in another infidelity with Lindsay Lohan.
‘He was living the rockstar life,’ she said, adding that they ‘always came back to each other.’
She explained that she made multiple attempts to overlook the issues in hopes of reviving their marriage because she ‘was so in love with him.’
‘I wanted my children to see their mother and father in love,’ she added.
Shanna also looked back on the early days of Travis’ relationship with Kourtney, when her children Alabama and Landon Barker shared on social media that they were estranged from their mother.
Moakler claimed to be suffering from ‘parental alienation,’ a disputed theory labeled junk science by many psychologists, in which one parent allegedly brainwashes their children to make them hostile toward the other parent.
‘I just got f***ing hammered. And bullied,’ she said of her treatment in the press after her children spoke up. ‘And over my f***ing kids. Who does that to someone with their own children? F*** you, that family,’ she said, referring to the Kardashian–Jenner clan, which she called a ‘media machine.’
She didn’t hold back when she called the famous family ‘disgusting,’ adding that would ‘never want to know them.’
‘I’m tired of people s***ting on me. I don’t have to like that f***ing family,’ she continued. ‘I’m not afraid of them and I don’t like them. I removed myself. I took a step back.’
Elsewhere in the podcast chat, Moakler accused Travis of having had an affair with Paris Hilton sometime around when he was pursing Kim Kardashian, who at the time worked for Hilton as her ‘closet organizer.’
After their first separation, she accused Barker of striking up a relationship with Hilton, while also pursuing Kim Kardashian.
Barker has admitted to being infatuated with Kardashian at the time, but he said in his 2015 memoir that they only ever dined out together. Kim also called Shanna’s earlier claims a ‘false narrative’; seen in December in Las Vegas
Moakler also spoke about her estrangement from her children, blaming it on ‘parental alienation,’ a disputed theory in which one parent brainwashes children against the other parent
Moakler also claimed to have ‘caught’ Barker wth Lindsay Lohan in the past, and she said a relationship with Paris Hilton began during their first separation
During that period, she ran into Hilton at LA’s Hyde nightclub, and the two allegedly had an argument.
‘That was sort of the end of it all. He went to Paris,’ Moakler claimed. ‘At the time I guess he was talking to Kim too.’
However, she said she still helped Travis get sober during that period.
But Barker’s alleged infidelities even got in the way of her providing comfort to him as he recovered from a deadly plane crash that killed four people and left him as one of only two survivors.
The drummer was left with burns covering 65 percent of his body and a debilitating fear of flying that kept him grounded for years, until his current wife Kourtney helped him overcome his fears by taking him on a private jet flight.
Shanna recounted setting up Travis’ computer in hopes that he could chat with his children to raise his spirits.
But while she was getting it ready she opened up his emails and allegedly saw messages from other women.
‘That didn’t bother me, but I saw all these comments in these emails about what a s***ty mother I was. I couldn’t f***ing believe that he was the one behind some of those comments,’ she said. ‘I went home and cried in my mother’s arms for hours.
But the blond beauty wished she had been able to hold her emotions in during Barker’s near-death experience.
‘I probably should’ve licked my wounds until he recovered,’ she admitted.
Although Shanna claimed that Barker’s alleged infidelities had led to their split, she also claimed that his belief that she had an affair with actor Gerard Butler damaged their marriage.
‘I was going out, getting drunk. I was friends with Gerard Butler,’ she began. ‘I saw him at the club and the paparazzi took pictures of us and made it seem like I was kissing him. I wasn’t. Travis saw it … and we never recovered.’
After that, she said Barker was ‘convinced’ that she had cheated with Butler.
But even after ending their romantic relationship, she said they continued to live together to help co-parent their children until around 2014.
Moakler admitted that rumors of an affair with Gerard Butler, which she denied, also hurt her marriage to Barker
It wasn’t until she began dating her now-ex Brian Sollima around that time that she decided it was time to live apart, and she also stopped talking to Barker around that time, though she didn’t clarify what led to the breakdown in communications.
Although she attributed multiple crises to the end of her marriage, Shanna also claimed Travis’ desire to end their reality show Meet The Barkers soured things.
‘He didn’t want to be known as a couple or a reality star,’ she said. ‘He wanted to be known as a musician. He was so punk rock. He put an end to it [the show].
‘I think for him, he was the star. When it became about us as a couple, I wanted to be a power couple, he didn’t want that,’ she added.
