Bhad Bhabie accused Alabama Barker of apparently stealing her boyfriend, Le Vaughn.
In a since-deleted Instagram Story post screenshotted by Page Six, Bhad Bhabie, 21, claimed, “@AlabamaLuellaBarker took my man. … I told [Le Vaughn] next time I catch you. You got be with time.”
The rapper and social media personality, who welcomed daughter Kali in March with Le Vaughn, then declared she is “single.”
Barker, 18, subsequently denied the accusations.
Before Bhad Bhabie launched a reality TV and rap career, she was best known as the “Cash Me Outside” girl. In 2016, Bhabie (real name Danielle Bregoli) appeared in a segment for Dr. Phil that was titled “I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a […]
“I want to be clear: I have no interest in this man, nor would I ever lower myself to be with someone who has been physically abusive towards women,” Alabama, the daughter of exes Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Story message, per Daily Mail.
Alabama then went on her TikTok on Wednesday, December 18, further denying that she would ever date Le Vaughn, 26.
“I’ve been to her house one time and I guess he was there, but I never saw his face,” Alabama recalled in her Wednesday video. “I’m not looking to wreck anyone’s home or family. I don’t get any cool points from that and I don’t benefit from it all. I also would never date this man.”

Alabama further explained that she later met up with Le Vaughn in Las Vegas and he “continuously lied to [her]” and claimed to be single.
“Sadly, I fell for his manipulative lies and after I told him I no longer wanted communication with him, he continuously tried to talk to me and put me in a very uncomfortable position,” Alabama alleged. “I’m not going to disregard my faults in the situation. There are definitely certain things I could have gone about differently.”
Not on her watch! Alabama Barker has a message for those who have something to say about her makeup choices. The 17-year-old daughter of Travis Barker took to TikTok on April 18 to hit back at social media trolls. “When Kathryn with 3 kids, only waterline liner, 4 different colored blonde [hair] & Toms shoes […]
According to Alabama, she “did try to ghost” Le Vaughn in August, but he kept trying to message her. Alabama also alleged that Le Vaughn said he was “in love with me” but refused to tell Bhad Bhabie (real name Danielle Bregoli) the truth.
“The situation is unfortunate and goes against my morals as a woman,” Alabama said. “My intentions are never to break a family apart. That is the lowest of the barrel. Believe me or don’t believe me, that is just disgusting.”
She added, “Thankfully, I’m not blind to the fact that he’s manipulating her or myself. He’s also gaslighting the situation and trying to turn us against each other when really he was the problem from the beginning. Me and Danielle were more like acquaintances than anything.”
Alabama further “regrets even acknowledging [Le Vaughn] in the first place and letting this even become a thing.”
“I take full accountability for things I did participate in, whether I did or did not know, that’s not fair to her at all,” Alabama said. “He’s pushing 30 and he thinks this is OK. That is honestly scary. … I understand her frustration.”
Neither Bhad Bhabie nor Le Vaughn have further addressed the alleged situation.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama landed its first transfer portal commitment of the winter window on Tuesday evening when Florida defensive lineman Kelby Collins announced his commitment to the Tide. Collins, a former four-star recruit from Gardendale, Ala., has two years of eligibility remaining and will be counted on as an instant impact player for Alabama’s 2025 defense.
In two years at Florida, Collins recorded 29 tackles, three sacks and 15 quarterback hurries in 18 career games.

What does this mean for Alabama?
Collins, 6 feet 4 and 278 pounds, was a budding star at Florida in 2023 with 23 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hurries, a pass breakup and a forced fumble en route to being named to the All-SEC freshman team and The Athletic’s freshman All-America team. He wasn’t as productive in 2024 with just six tackles in six games, but the potential is there.
Collins’ path is similar to current defensive lineman LT Overton — a highly ranked prospect who committed to another program over Alabama out of high school but landed with the Tide the second time around. It’s indicative of the new college football landscape and the importance of relationships, where losing a recruiting battle in high school doesn’t completely close the door with the portal.
Most of Alabama’s staff wasn’t with the program in 2023, but position coach Freddie Roach remains and was a key component in getting Collins to Tuscaloosa. The Overton addition was beneficial for Alabama this season, and there is hope that Collins can produce something similar in 2025.
Roll tide😁

Collins’ commitment fills a glaring need for the 2025 defense on the defensive line. The Tide could lose their entire starting unit with Overton, Tim Keenan, Tim Smith and Jah-Marien Latham all possibly moving on to the NFL after this season. Collins’ physical profile fits the bandit position (where Overton and Latham play) as the defensive end with pass-rush responsibilities.
Collins’ production is encouraging, and he will join rising star James Smith on a defensive line that will look much different next season.
With Collins’ commitment and Jaylen Mbakwe and Danny Lewis Jr. returning to the team, Alabama is at 85 total scholarships entering 2025. That number includes current Alabama players who have yet to make NFL decisions.
Collins likely will not be the final portal addition. Alabama is looking to add at several positions, including at wide receiver, on the offensive and defensive lines and at linebacker.
