Travis Barker‘s daughter Alabama Barker is explaining the reason why she decided to start taking weight-loss medication.
“I’m on weight-loss medication because I’m tired of being fat and photographing like a damn ogre,” Alabama, 18, said in a video reposted by a fan via TikTok on Tuesday, July 16.”I have, like, this thing where I photograph so ugly and people are like, ‘Oh my god, you’re so fat and you’re so ugly.’”
She continued, “It’s like, I see what you guys are seeing, but just, like, meet me in person. I feel like I really don’t look like that.”
Social media users were both surprised and saddened by Alabama’s candid admission, with one TikToker commenting, “[I] swear we are our own biggest haters because she’s absolutely beautiful.”
Ozempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss — with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it. Chelsea Handler admitted during a January 2023 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she unknowingly took the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve […]
Another added, “She’s literally so cute and pretty, this makes me sad,” and a third person chimed in with, “She’s too young to be taking weight-loss medication.”
Though she did not clarify which medication she is taking, injectable meds like Ozempic and Mounjaro – which are approved for use in those who live with type 2 diabetes – have become popular weight-loss medications over the last couple years.

Similar medications, like Wegovy, have been approved by the FDA for weight loss. Four additional weight-loss medications have been approved by the FDA for children aged 12 and up, per the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Alabama’s mom, Shanna Moakler, previously opened up about using Mounjaro to lose weight after “eating the pain away” amid losing her parents in 2023. Mom Gail Moakler died in January that year, and dad John Moakler III died seven months later.
“It was on another level, and I didn’t know how to deal [with it],” she told People in June. “I was sad. And I just missed my parents so much.”
The Kardashian-Jenners come from a big brood and have only added to their ranks over the years. Kourtney Kardashian was dating Scott Disick when she gave birth to their three children, but they eventually broke up in 2015. However, their post-split parenting dynamic paved the way for others in the family who found themselves raising kids alongside their exes. […]
In addition to Alabama, Shanna, 49, and Travis, 48, share son Landon Barker, 20. Travis is also stepdad to Atiana De La Hoya, 25, whom Shanna shares with ex Oscar De La Hoya.
Travis and Shanna were married from 2004 to 2008, and fans got a glimpse of the Blink-182 drummer and the former pageant queen’s life together on MTV’s reality series, Meet the Barkers. The show aired for two seasons from 2005 to 2006.
While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s relationship came as a surprise to many, the pair knew each other for years before their whirlwind romance. After Barker spent time with Kardashian at her mom Kris Jenner’s Palm Springs, California, home in January 2021, Us Weekly confirmed that the pair were dating. “Kourtney and Travis are officially […]
Travis has since moved on with longtime friend-turn-lover Kourtney Kardashian. The pair confirmed their romance on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2021 and got engaged that October. The duo tied the knot in a lavish three-day celebration in Portofino, Italy, in May 2022.
The twosome welcomed their son, Rocky Thirteen, in November last year. Kardashian, 45, also shares sons Mason, 14, and Reign, 9, and daughter Penelope, 12, with ex Scott Disick.
SPANISH FORT, Ala. (WALA) – The YMCA of South Alabama held a Healthy Kids Day at Spanish Fort Town Center Park.
Saturday’s event featured games and demonstrations, along with interactive activities featuring police and fire vehicles.
“I think just seeing so many organizations come together that serve kids, and just seeing kids have fun,” said Gwen Summer, CEO of the YMCA of South Alabama.
Marissa Rennaker, director of development for the YMCA of South Alabama, said the event exposed children to new activities.
“I think it’s been seeing all the kids laugh and try different things that they probably haven’t tried before,” Rennaker said. “There was a big group doing pickleball and yoga. We had ballet earlier, so just getting them out and exposed to things, I think it’s been great.”
The event was designed to kick off a healthy, active summer.
The YMCA of South Alabama is located at 27080 Pollard Road in Daphne.

Former Alabama star Will Anderson Jr. has reportedly signed a three-year, $150 million extension with the Houston Texans, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Anderson instantly solidified himself as one of the top defensive players in football throughout his rookie campaign in 2023. The star defensive end was named as the Rookie of the Year in 2023, as Anderson’s extension will officially keep him in Houston long-term, as well as make him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Anderson recorded an impressive 12 sacks on the Texans’ defensive line in 2025, as the former Alabama star has made history following his head turning extension with Houston.
Anderson was nothing short of a superstar throughout his time at Alabama. Houston drafted the talented lineman with the third overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft, as Anderson was widely regarded as one of the top overall selections from his class.
The former Crimson Tide superstar has officially inked a massive extension with the Texans, as Anderson will undoubtedly continue playing a critical role on Houston’s defensive line over the coming seasons.

Alabama head coach Rob Vaughn said that No. 4 Texas would be “hungry” against the No. 11Crimson Tide coming off its first series loss of the season to Texas A&M.
The Longhorns certainly were, as they pounced all over Vaughn’s team, striking out 17 Alabama batters en route to a 10-2 win.
“The story of the game was they just kind of kicked our tail in every phase tonight,” Vaughn said.
Alabama starter Tyler Fay had been elite over his past four starts, dating back to his complete-game no-hitter against Florida, allowing just six earned runs over the 26.0 innings pitched in those games. That changed instantly on Friday evening, as leadoff batter Aiden Robbins opened the game with a double and catcher Carson Tinney took him deep for a two-run blast moments later.
Texas added a third run in the first off an Ethan Mendoza RBI double, setting the tone for a dominant day. Alabama did not record a hit until the fourth inning as Longhorn ace Dylan Volantis tore through batters, striking out 12 over six innings.
Fay ended up going 5.1 innings, just the second time he did not make it through the sixth. The other, against Auburn, was only due to Vaughn wanting to keep his pitch count down in the wake of the no-hitter. He allowed season-highs of seven earned runs and 12 hits in the loss.
The Longhorns added a run each in the third and the fifth, before Alabama put the slightest amount of pressure on Texas in the top of the sixth. Bryce Fowler and Justin Lebron scored on the basepaths off an error and a wild pitch, respectively, to cut the Texas lead to three runs.
“You’ve got to find ways to score,” Vaughn said. “Those two guys just created two runs for us, and did a great job creating those runs and we crawl back in at 5-2, and it’s like, ‘Let’s go back to work…’ So thought we had that chance in those middle innings.”
The Longhorns effectively put the game to bed in the next frame, responding with three runs as Fay was relieved by Connor Lehman. Texas would add two more runs on the day, with the only silver lining coming in the fact that Alabama avoided a run-rule.
The Crimson Tide has now lost four straight SEC games after winning three consecutive series. Zane Adams takes the mound with the series on the line on Saturday, in a game that has been moved up to 12 p.m. CT due to anticipated rain in Austin.
