Alabama Barker Biography

Social media is definitely not the best place for kids to be in. Despite being only ten years old, Alabama Barker has been the victim of ugly cyber-bullying. In June 2016, she was criticized for her looks and life-style in a YouTube video by popular internet personality RiceGum, who has over 10.2 million subscribers on YouTube. He posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he showed Alabama's Instagram profile to his followers, pointing out how she doesn't act her age, wears too much makeup, poses suggestively, and overall follows a lifestyle that doesn't suit a child who is only ten years old. Notably, he even pointed out that Instagram requires its users to be at least 13 years old to use its services. Soon after he posted the video, his followers flooded Alabama's Instagram profile with mean comments, some even going further to blame her parents for bad parenting. Things escalated real quick when Travis Barker publicly threatened RiceGum, posting a picture of him on his own Instagram account. Shanna Moakler followed suit and hit back at RiceGum on his Twitter account for bullying and roasting her 10-year-old daughter. RiceGum, in response, simply told that he was not even mean to her, but just commented on what he saw on her public account. YouTube eventually took down the original video that RiceGum had posted, citing privacy and bullying concerns. Determined to act against cyber-bullying, Alabama's mother, Shanna Moakler, decided to make a documentary on the topic by travelling the country and talking to school principals. Asked how she deals with hate comments, Alabama said that she just deletes them.

Born on December 24, 2005, Alabama Luella Barker is the second child of father Travis Barker and the third child of mother Shanna Moakler. She has an older brother, Landon Barker, and an older step-sister, Atiana Cecelia de la Hoya, Shanna's first child with Olympian boxer Oscar de la Hoya. Her parents separated in 2006, just a few months after she was born. They attempted to rekindle their relationship a few times before finally divorcing in 2008. However, both Travis and Shanna put equal efforts to raise their children. Travis often takes Alabama to music and award shows, pictures of which Shanna shares with her fans on her social media accounts. She also goes with her father on his music tours. She is friends with YouTube star Meghan McCarthy whom she met at an event she attended. Meghan even appeared on her YouTube channel to host a Q&A session.
