Alabama Barker

As a part of the Barker family, Alabama became a star as soon as she appeared on the reality TV series ‘Meet the Barkers.’ Despite the fact that she was only a few months old, she gained popularity instantaneously. Being born to star parents like Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler quickened her rise to fame to a huge degree. Travis Barker had allowed his kids to have Instagram accounts of their own when they were very young. They gained a huge number of followers quickly. Alabama would often compete with her brother Landon on their Instagram followers, and beat him by a narrow margin.

Alabama wants to be a singer and an actor when she grows up. She is also interested in a modeling career. She can play the piano and the drums. When Travis and his band-mates were in the process of composing the song ‘She's Out of Her Mind,’ the little girl came up with the idea to include the piano part. The proud father not only accepted her idea, but also gave her credit in the album cover. Alabama told her fans that Beyoncé inspires her a lot.

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 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.
