On Travis Barker and Kim Kardashian<\/h3>\n
Moakler claimed that she and Barker were \u201cworking on things\u201d in their relationship when someone \u201canonymously texted\u201d her the rocker\u2019s alleged conversations with Kim. \u201cThey were trying to meet up at her sister\u2019s house to f\u2013k,\u201d she said.

\u201cI wanted this relationship to work. I was so in love with him,\u201d she said, claiming she showed Barker the messages and he \u201cdeleted\u201d them. \u201c[He] said, \u2018I don\u2019t see anything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
She also allegedly called Kim. \u201cShe just said to me, \u2018I don\u2019t like white guys,\u2019\u201d Moakler recalled. \u201cI was like, \u2018You\u2019ll f\u2013k anyone to be famous.\u2019 \u2026 Travis and I never really recovered from that. I felt stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moakler also claimed she \u201ccaught\u201d Barker with Lindsay Lohan<\/strong>. \u201cHe was living the rockstar life,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe always came back to each other.\u201d<\/p>\nDespite their issues, Moakler shared that she wanted to make it work for the family. \u201cI was so in love with him,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted my children to see their mother and father in love.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the Kardashian Family<\/h3>\n
Moakler made headlines in 2021 when Alabama and Landon took to social media to share that Moakler wasn\u2019t currently in their lives.

\u201cThat shit was all getting played out in the press,\u201d she explained, noting that the Kardashian family is a \u201cmedia machine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just got f\u2014king hammered. And bullied,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd over my f\u2013king kids. Who does that to someone with their own children? F\u2013k you, that family.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>Charley Gallay\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn Travis Barker\u2019s Plane Crash<\/h3>\n
After Barker was involved in a September 2008 plane crash that killed four people and left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body, Moakler claimed she was trying to connect the musician with his children when she discovered emails of Barker bashing her parenting style.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got his computer \u2026 We were hoping him seeing the kids would give him the strength to keep fighting,\u201d she explained. \u201cWhen I was setting up his computer \u2026 I looked in his email and I saw all the emails from the women. That didn\u2019t bother me, but I saw all these comments in these emails about what a shitty mother I was. I couldn\u2019t f\u2013king believe that he was the one behind some of those comments. I went home and cried in my mother\u2019s arms for hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moakler noted that \u201clooking back now, I probably should\u2019ve licked my wounds until he recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Gerard Butler Rumors<\/h3>\n
Moakler shared that a misunderstanding between her and Barker over Moakler\u2019s friendship with Gerard Butler<\/strong> also played a part in their divorce.<\/p>\n\u201cI was going out, getting drunk. I was friends with Gerard Butler,\u201d she said. \u201cI saw him at the club and the paparazzi took pictures of us and made it seem like I was kissing him. I wasn\u2019t. Travis saw it \u2026 and we never recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moakler said that after the incident, Barker was \u201cconvinced\u201d she had cheated on him but the pair ended up \u201cliving together\u201d for the benefit of their kids. \u201cWe were coparents,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe wanted to be there for our kids. Until like almost 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n
The twosome continued to share a home until Moakler met now-ex Brian Sollima<\/strong>. The duo got \u201cserious\u201d so she told Barker, \u201cI can\u2019t be living with you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI stopped talking to [Travis] around 2014,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe started following each other right before [Kourtney]. We still coparent. My oldest daughter is 24. My son is 20 years old. He\u2019s living with his girlfriend [Charli D\u2019Amelio<\/strong>]. They\u2019re all talented.\u201d<\/p>\nOn Why Her Marriage With Travis Barker Broke Down<\/h3>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t want to be known as a couple or a reality star,\u201d she said, referring to the exes MTV show, Meet the Barkers<\/em>. \u201cHe 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\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/p>\nOn Travis Barker and Paris Hilton<\/h3>\n
Moakler claimed that after she and Barker first separated, she and Paris Hilton <\/strong>had a verbal altercation at Hyde nightclub in Los Angeles. (Moakler alleged that Barker had an affair with Hilton during their marriage.)<\/p>\n\u201cThat was sort of the end of it all. He went to Paris,\u201d she said. \u201cAt the time I guess he was talking to Kim too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite their problems, Moakler claimed she still helped Barker get sober after he had issues on tour. \u201cIt was like some Johnny Cash<\/strong> type shit,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone wanted to be a rockstar. They needed him to go party and drink and meet bitches and feel cool. He had a family. We got back together and we were trying to heal over that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"1999](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/GettyImages-111179427.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\u201cWe just looked into each other\u2019s eyes and it was just, like, ding. That was it. We had quite a whirlwind there,\u201d she said of her romance with Oscar La Hoya<\/strong>, whom she began dating in 1997.

\u201cWe were madly in love,\u201d she said. \u201cI think our first date, like, I went to Big Bear and we took a private jet to Vegas. I remember people being like, \u2018Champ, champ!\u2019 I didn\u2019t really know anything about the boxing world or him really. He\u2019s very romantic. We just fell in love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Atiana] was about 1 and a half, two years old. There were all these third parties,\u201d she claimed. \u201cHe just lost his first fight. \u2026 I met him at Universal, and said, \u2018Do you want this anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n
Moakler said that La Hoya told her they\u2019d reset their romance after he got back from shooting Late Night With David Letterman. \u201cIt was everything I wanted to hear in that moment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
According to Moakler, La Hoya then attended the Latin Grammy Awards in Los Angeles with Mille Corretjer<\/strong> without giving her a heads-up.<\/p>\n\u201cThere he is holding hands with his now ex-wife. I just remember I lost my breath,\u201d she recalled. \u201cThere was no backlash [publicly]. I didn\u2019t stand a chance. The next day they had a lawyer come to the house and say, you and the baby need to move out. It just became just a shitshow whirlwind. He never called me again. He had his assistant [tell me we were done]. I really thought in that moment that my life was over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moakler also claimed that she \u201cquit everything\u201d for La Hoya because he \u201cdid not want me working.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Claims Daughter Atiana Didn\u2019t See Oscar De La Hoya Until She Was \u2018About 16\u2019<\/h3>\n
Moakler recalled an alleged conversation about child support after her split from La Hoya.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said, I won\u2019t see you or the baby until she\u2019s 16 [if she sued him for palimony],\u201d she claimed. \u201cHe got out of the car, I\u2019ll never forget this, and he goes, I have more money than God. Don\u2019t be too hard on me. And he left. I cried. I sued him for palimony, and I won. I really didn\u2019t have a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cHe didn\u2019t see the baby and I until she was about 16. She didn\u2019t know her father growing up. They\u2019ve made amends. He\u2019s made amends with me. He\u2019s apologized.\u201d<\/p>\n
