Alabama Barker Faces Backlash Over OnlyFans Comments While a Family Connection Shocks Fans
Alabama Barker, the 19-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, has come under fire for her recent comments dismissing OnlyFans. Her remarks stirred controversy, particularly given her family’s ties to the platform. Alabama’s mother, former Playboy model Shanna Moakler, has been a long-time OnlyFans creator.
The Controversial TikTok Video
The controversy began when Alabama posted a TikTok video addressing her status as a “nepo baby.” In the video, Alabama confidently stated: “I sure am a nepo baby. A proud one, too. I’m proud not to be on OnlyFans.”
Her comment quickly caught the attention of OnlyFans model Camilla Araujo, who did not hold back in her response. In a series of TikTok videos, Camilla criticized Alabama for what she saw as hypocrisy, referencing the infamous leaked sex tape of Alabama’s aunt-in-law, Kim Kardashian.
“Proud to be a nepo baby, not an OF baby? Girl, how you gonna hate on the industry when your auntie has a whole leaked tape bussing it down?” Camilla said. She went on to sarcastically praise Kim’s performance in the tape, which catapulted her into the public eye before her rise as a media mogul.
Family Connections to OnlyFans and Adult Content
Alabama’s dismissal of OnlyFans is particularly notable given her mother’s involvement with the platform. Shanna Moakler has been an OnlyFans creator for years and has openly discussed how profitable it has been for her.
In a 2021 interview with Page Six, Shanna explained her approach to the platform: “I’m very comfortable with nudity. I always have been, being a former Playmate, being in Maxim. I’m not trying to get crazy in my career now at my age, but I’m definitely willing to have some fun and make it a great experience for everybody.”
Shanna reiterated her positive experience with OnlyFans during an appearance on the Miss Understood podcast, describing the platform as “lucrative” and celebrating its potential for creators.
Alabama’s Career Aspirations and Her Mother’s Support
While distancing herself from platforms like OnlyFans, Alabama is focusing on building her career as a rapper and artist. Her mother, Shanna, has publicly supported her musical ambitions, calling it a “natural progression” given Alabama’s upbringing.
“My kids were raised on a tour bus from the time they were born,” Shanna told Page Six in 2022. “They’ve been in the studio with their father alongside some of the greatest musicians in the world. Hip-hop and rap are dominant genres right now, and I think Alabama has a real love and respect for the craft.”
Shanna highlighted that Alabama’s exposure to the music industry through her father, Travis Barker, has been instrumental in shaping her artistic vision.
A Complicated Mother-Daughter Relationship
Despite their current reconciliation, Alabama and Shanna have faced a turbulent relationship over the years. In the past, Alabama has been vocal about her estrangement from her mother, even criticizing her parenting in social media posts.
In one instance, Alabama said: “My mom has never completely been in my life. Can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing mom? Did your moms ask to see you on Mother’s Day [because] mine didn’t? I’m done keeping it a secret.”
The pair made amends in 2022, but these comments reflect the challenges they’ve faced in repairing their bond.
A Broader Debate on Family and Platforms
Alabama’s remarks about OnlyFans have reignited conversations about family dynamics, privilege, and career choices in the public eye. As a self-proclaimed “proud nepo baby,” Alabama leans into her lineage while distancing herself from certain paths her family members have taken. Yet, the backlash suggests that the public isn’t always willing to separate her from her family’s actions or choices.
For now, Alabama remains focused on her music career, while the conversation surrounding her comments on OnlyFans continues to spark debate online.
