Alabama Barker ‘cries’ while praising ‘hero’ dad Travis with video montage despite fan backlash over star’s parenting
ALABAMA Barker has praised dad Travis Barker in a new TikTok documenting their relationship with each other.
On Monday, September 2, Alabama, 18, posted a new video comprising several clips of her 48-year-old musician father telling her he loves her.
“POV: your dad leaves FaceTime video mail every time you miss his call,” she wrote over the montage.
In the first snippet, Travis can be seen twirling a drumstick in one hand, while saying, “I’m going on stage now, I love you,” before blowing a series of air kisses at the camera.
In another message, the Blink-182 drummer tells his daughter, “I’m calling you to say goodnight. I love you.”
‘MY HERO’
One video shows Travis sitting on a plane before takeoff.
“Baby, I love you so much. Getting ready to take off,” the rockstar explains, before flashing a sign of the horns.
In the final clip, Travis complains, “It’s not nice to ignore me. I love you.”
“My dad is my hero, i couldnt ask for a better man to be my father,” Alabama captioned the TikTok. “I cried making this he is my everything.”
Reacting to her sweet message, Travis left a comment under the clip that read, “I love you to the moon and back.”
Fans urged Alabama to “answer all of” Travis’ calls in the comments section, with one person writing, “Don’t take him for granted, please.”
“If you don’t pick up that phone!!!” another user added, prompting Alabama to clarify, “I swear I do, this is five calls out of 1m.”
Travis shares Alabama and son, Landon Barker, 20, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
He is also stepfather to Shanna’s 25-year-old daughter Atianna De La Hoya, with her ex-fiancé Oscar De La Hoya.
Travis welcomed son Rocky Barker with his wife, reality TV star and wellness entrepreneur Kourtney Kardashian, last November.
Fans have previously criticized Travis and Shanna for their parenting decisions, including allowing Alabama to get lip fillers as an early 18th birthday present.

They also called Travis out after Alabama was spotted wearing an outfit that, many of her followers believed, was “inappropriate” for a 17-year-old to be wearing.
‘SO INAPPROPRIATE’
In November, Alabama posted a TikTok of her lip-syncing to Jack Harlow’s hit Lovin’ On Me, while wearing a brown printed dress with a plunging neckline that was cut below the belly button.
“Daddy Trav get ur daughter,” one person trolled.
“You are too young to be flaunting your s**t on social media. Parent fail,” said another.
“Yeah no,” commented a third, “She looks pretty or [whatever], but she’s literally still a child at 17.”
A fourth asked: “Where are your parents?” while a sixth commenter added, “So inappropriate my God.”
Another person summarized the outrage, writing, “She might be pretty but I find this gross because she’s a minor acting dressing like an adult to the max.”
However, Alabama hit back at the trolls in short statement on her Instagram Stories that read, “Let’s stop getting mad on my page that you felt the need to oversexualize me and have a problem with it.
“I’m not going to wear long sleeves etc to make the internet not sexualize the body I was born with. If you have a problem unfollow me.”
