Travis Barker’s Ex Shanna Moakler Hit Back at Critics With Sass for Khloe Kardashian Comparison

That's Shanna Moakler, not Khloe Kardashian. Travis Barker's ex-wife, Moakler, posted a "risque" photo in a crimson-red two-piece and grabbed eyeballs. Although most comments were positive, a handful of critics saw an uncanny resemblance to Khloe in her. While they called her out, Moakler also hit back with a sass. 

The 48-year-old actress and model showed off her fit frame in a bikini accessorized with layers of chain pendants and a pierced belly. She captioned the post, "I'm not the whisky you want; I'm the water you need." However, after critics trolled her for 'looking like Khloe,' she added a comment on her own post.  

She wrote, "This pic really triggered some of you.... enjoy." This remark was in response to her haters who called her out. While some uplifted her for looking fit and gorgeous, others tore her down An Instagram user, @pinkileopardluv, wrote, "Is it just me, or has Khloe K morphed into Shanna?" 

A comment by @lindsey_nic08 read, "It's Khloe." Another Instagram user, @alemanlesley, got confused, "I thought this was Khloe." More confusion as @staceyafloyd echoed, "First glance, I thought it was the new Khloe Kardashian." Some users were spewing hate on her. @k.i.m.m.o.n_s.e.a.l.y27 called out, "Seeking attention, it seems."

Another critic, @jenny_a_n_n_e, wrote, "These comments! Some people really thrive on hatred. People really, really hate you. But I guess you would know that feeling. You hate on people all the time." But Moakler had more supporters than haters. 

@shana_lee commented, "You do ur thing, girl! Ur a beautiful human, and nothing is wrong with showing it off!" Another fan, @ms_limited__edition, supported, "Some say seeking attention. I say you utilize social media like EVERYONE else is. Not to mention if [you're] gorgeous with that body at our age.....Girl then, YEEEAAAAS!" 

Moakler has been on a healing journey, and her most recent social media posts say she's following like-minded people and experts. In another Instagram post from August 27, 2023, she uploaded a mirror selfie wearing a black tank top that read "I am Worthy." Alongside the gorgeous photo, she detailed her thoughts in a lengthy caption. 

The Growing Up Supermodel star wrote, "So I have been following a couple of amazing mental health accounts, and they have been so helpful for me on my journey of healing," tagging the brand she got the inspiring t-shirt. However, this isn't the first time Moakler has been compared to the Hulu star. 

In December 2022, another photo of her in a yellow lingerie prompted fans to draw similarities. Back then, fans pointed out how she was a lookalike of Kardashian. But Moakler refused to be taken down by her haters and responded by shading the mother-of-two. In response, she wrote, "I think her surgery came out beautiful," reported US Weekly. 

However, Moakler has been open and vocal about her procedures. In December 2018, she admitted she had her stomach muscles fixed after three C-sections damaged them. And so did Kardashian. On the show's reunion episode, she opened up about feeling confident in herself but blamed society for making her insecure. 

"That's when I became hard on myself because I was like, 'Oh, this is how other people perceived me,'" she [Khloe] said. "For me, everyone says, 'Oh my gosh, she's had her third face transplant,' but I've had one nose job,'" reported E! News. She confessed, "I've responded horribly to Botox."
