Alabama Barker, the daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, has recently made headlines with her new relationship. She was spotted with Scooter Jackson, a football player at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), who recently transferred from Utah Tech. The two were seen in a video where Alabama, wearing a red silk top and with her hair down, was affectionate with Scooter, who sported a bright orange top. This appearance came after Alabama shared on Valentine’s Day that she had received six dozen off-white roses from a secret admirer, hinting at her new romance.
The spotlight on Alabama’s personal life comes amid ongoing drama with rapper Bhad Bhabie, who released a diss track titled "Ms. Whitman" in February. The song references the 1993 film True Romance and its character Alabama Whitman, after whom Alabama Barker was named. Bhabie’s track samples Kanye West’s "Carnival" and makes disparaging remarks about Alabama, accusing her of being a homewrecker and stealing her ex, Le Vaughn. Alabama has denied these claims, stating she has no interest in Le Vaughn and that he pursued her while in a relationship with Bhabie, who has since become a mother to their child, Kali Love.
The feud began in December when Bhabie accused Alabama of taking her man on Instagram, a claim Alabama quickly denied. Alabama explained that Le Vaughn had contacted her for nearly a year, confessing his feelings, and emphasized that she would never engage with someone who had been abusive. Bhabie, however, continued the attack in her song, rapping about Alabama’s supposed infidelity and her connection to the Kardashians, even referencing Travis Barker’s past crush on Kim Kardashian and his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian.
The situation escalated on social media, with both parties exchanging indirect messages. Alabama hinted at a retaliation track but later addressed the accusations directly, defending her character and clarifying her stance. She expressed frustration at the misrepresentation of events and the damage to her reputation, while Bhabie used her song to boast about her wealth and threaten anyone who crossed her, referencing Will Smith’s infamous Oscar slap.
Shanna Moakler, Alabama’s mother, added fuel to the fire by discussing Travis Barker’s past interactions with the Kardashians on a podcast, suggesting he had sought meetings with Kim Kardashian. These revelations were used by Bhabie to further critique Alabama and her family ties. The feud reflects the challenges of navigating public disputes, especially when involving high-profile families like the Kardashians and Barkers.
In the end, Alabama appears focused on moving forward, clearing her name, and prioritizing her well-being. The drama highlights the complexities of celebrity relationships and the impact of social media on personal conflicts. As Alabama navigates her new relationship and the ongoing feud, she remains determined to protect her reputation and maintain her personal boundaries in the public eye.
