Travis Barker Tweets The Record Straight (Or What He'd Like Us To Believe)

Filed under: Shanna Moakler > Travis Barker > Twitter

wenn-tb99__opt1.jpg

We mentioned this morning that Travis Barker was asked by the cops to leave the home of his ex-wife Shanna Moakler's family after a bitter showdown between the two in Rhode Island on Monday.

We were to understand that the argument was over a nanny Travis wanted to stay with the kids while they were with their mom, which Shanna refused. Now we're told, via Travis' Twitter page that it was something else entirely. Travis explains:

"Would u leave your kids at a house where a child molesters(Rick Sinnott) car was present? Me neither. The REAL reason the cops were involved yesterday."

For those of you who don't remember, Rick Sinnott is alleged Shanna's uncle, an alleged convicted child molester (according to Travis), and Barker has made it very clear he is unwilling to let his kids be in the presence of this man. Along with the Tweet was a picture of Rick's license plate, acting as proof that Rick was at the house when Travis arrived.

Shanna has denied that she has a child-molesting uncle.

He said/she said.

These two need to just work out their beef in court!

  9. 9

    travis is def the better parent here



  10. 10

    I'm sorry, I just can't believe anything he says. He looks like a homeless meth addict. If the other guy is really a child molester, then fine, have the proof before the judge.

  11. ditto says – reply to this

    perez stop acting like youre the better person here, you're rehashing the news you condemn. if you really believed anything you said youd comment on an anonymous subject. youre an unfortunate result of a digital anomaly.



  12. 12

    FYI folks: PuttheKoolaid and anniegirl are gone!!!!!



  13. 13

    GO TO THE RHODE ISLAND COURT'S WEBSITE HE IS IN FACT A CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER 2ND DEGREE….I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHY TRAVIS DOESN'T WANT HIS KIDS THERE.



  14. 14

    Um Perez, if the guy has been convicted of child molestation as Travis says, couldn't YOU as a "journalist" research him & confirm which of the two is telling the truth?



  15. 15

    Re: karencarpenter – LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  16. 16

    perez you're gonna get yourself in trouble if you dont watch yourself, you are leaving yourself wide open if it comes out there is in fact a child molestor involved. now would be a good time to learn how to keep that fat mouth shut, or at least fill it with something the boys at the club will get a kick out of.



  17. 17

    perez you dont even try anymore, youre just taking other peoples gossip and passing it off as your own.



  18. 18

    Lame. talkin bout perez natch



  19. 19

    Travis needs to learn to be a gentlemen and have better appreciation and respect for the mother of his children.



  20. 20

    overrated heeb, he plays the drums people! he is not a genius or a brain surgeon, he beats on drums for a living, he is not anything special, he is a tiny little jewish grown man with alotta tattoos to make you think he is "hard", when in actuality he is just a little heeb with tattoos that plays the drums? thats it.



  21. 21

    if travis is so bad for airing his dirty laundry, then perez is the underwear sniffing creep who steals the laundry and shares with his friends for a suckfest.



  22. 22

    I would raise all kinds of hell if my kids were around someone who I thought might hurt them, especially in THAT way!! But seriously, sex offenders have to register is almost every state. Is this guys face plastered on any website for a conviction or is Travis just assuming something. . . .?



  23. 23

    Re: Perez Office – did we miss something? What do you mean by gone?



  24. 24

    Douche bag! I think the better parent is the one who talks less! Team Shanna! Travis is such a poser flip flopper! In the end He is only hurting his kids!



  25. 25

    He sure does look like a mess, those fucking teeth and those dumb tattoos on his neck, god how could anyone think he is good looking. BARFFFFF!!!



  26. 26

    I feel so sorry for their kids.
    Both parents seem incapable of mature and practical decisions.
    If the uncle is indeed a child molester, 2 things:
    1. Why on Earth would Shannon allow this person near their kids?
    2. If it's true, it would be easy for Travis to present proof of conviction in court. The uncle's presence would be taken care of by the courts.
    Shut up, Travis. Save it all for your lawyer.

    I can't blame the man for not wanting to leave his children in a house with a convicted pedophile. What kind of Mother invites someone like that into their home?



  28. 28

    this is a tiny link to the conviction: h t t p : / / t i n y u r l . c o m / l l x m s f ***** but youll have to type it in cause the comments removes web links, its from teh RI judiciary website.



  29. 29

    Why are you people calling him a douchebag?
    If the man is really a convicted child molester he is well within his rights to not want his children around him.
    In fact they may not be allowed to be around him by law.
    So what you people are saying is that you would let your little children be around a convicted child molester?



  30. 30

    Re: vengance – Really? Under the official child molesters website, he is not registered.



  31. 31

    She has probably tried to avoid a court scene…but it is probably time now. She has been very decent through the whole thing—him, not so much.



  32. 32

    Re: Angus8
    #29
    You're right. BUT, IT SHOULD BE HANDLED IN A COURT OF LAW… NOT ON A LAME CELEBRITY GOSSIP SITE!!!
    If Travis is serious about protecting his kids, why is he wasting time here?



  33. 33

    Re: karencarpenter – lmfao!



  34. 34

    Yes, there is record of a Richard Sinnott convicted on child molestation charges in the early 90's in Newport County, Rhode Island. Pretty easy to find on the web with a couple clikcs. Who knows if it is the same guy or not, but you can bet I would not leave my kids in the presence of someone who had been convicted of these types of charges. I would have no problem advertising the dirt bag as such if someone was knowingly putting my kids in this kind of danger. I would hope that Travis is also talking to his lawyers about custody if this is in fact true.



  35. 35

    He is actually telling the truth. My brother in law was the cop who got the call and went to Shanna's house. Can you blame him for being protective of his children?

  36. jkf says – reply to this


    36

    He looks like the banjo playing kid in Deliverance.

  37. Kdel says – reply to this


    37

    If there is even a slight chance that the allegations are true, I wouldn't let my kids around the freak either. Would you people who are hating on Travis take the chance with your kids? Travis needs to go to court and try to get a restraining order so Shanna can't take the kids around the perv. If there is proof of his molestation, it will come out in court.



  38. 38

    I admire Travis. Most people ignore the danger of pedophiles or "don't want to hurt anyone feelings" when it comes to protecting their kids! You go Travis!



  39. 39

    These two are annoying! I can't stand her! I don't know where this guy is a registered sex offender but its not in Rhode Island or Cali. I looked it up on Megan's law. They both need to grow up. I would hope she wouldn't let her kids around a sex offender but she's such an idiot it wouldn't surprise me!! After watching their show I can say she isn't mother of the year! She is LAZY!!!It's all about her!



  40. 40

    Twit head should be concerned.



  41. 41

    Draw the line somewhere, Perez. I love the trashy celebrity gossip as much as you do, but joking about child molesters is not ok. If there is even a chance that this man was there and that he is a convicted child molester, then I applaud Travis for trying to protect his children. There's no reason for those kids to be around a man that might pose that kind of danger to them. Just because Shanna isn't putting her business out there like Travis doesn't mean that she is a better parent or that the kids are safer with her. Especially if she insists on having her uncle around.



  42. 42

    God what a fucking tool and a waste of life.



  43. 43

    Perez stop taking Shaanas side on this and think as a grown person(might be hard for you) but Travis cares for the welfare of his children and shanna cares for her own welfare…Team Travis



  44. 44

    oh my god,,,I think I just shit myself from laughing! Who is this guy and why is he on my computer screen??? He looks like a crack head from the acre in Lowell- life Massachusetts! Has he accomplished anything? What does he do? I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. But then again who would??? Oh yes there's children involved, lets split sticks to see who calls DSS, not me! I'm out, I don't even know who this guy is,,,hold on Shanna's on the line,,,"yeah,,Shanna,,,don't want to hear it right now,,this is sunday,,yes I know it's tuesday but it's really my sunday, so could both of you please fuck off???



  45. 45

    You all need to realize that not eveyone who is a sex offender is going to be registered. It has not always been the law that people have to be registered, so older offenses may not show up on registration web sites. Also, many offenders fail to register and fall through the cracks. You can, however, look this particular name (Richard Sinnott) up through a criminal search on the Rhode Island courts website and it does show a convictiction for molestation of a child in the early 90's. Defendant pleaded No Contest and received probation. He also has a nice little DUI arrest. Classy guy.

    Just google Rhode Island Judiciary - Homepage . From there, click on the Criminal Information Search. Click on Search by Name, then Accept the terms. Search by Last name "Sinnott" First name "Richard".

    No way of knowing whether this is the same guy that Travis is referring to or not. But, to the people saying there is no record of this name on the Registered Sex Offendor sites, you need to all be aware that those sites are not 100% accurate, but court records don't lie. A lot of counties put their court records online for public searches these days. Use every avenue when you suspect someone of this type of thing. Do not rely on the registered offendor lists alone!!!!

    This Guy Richard "Rick" Sinnott is a child molester!!!!

    Re: Spindoc – until nothing has happend no judge will (be able to) sentence him.
    .
    team travis



  48. 48

    Re: fantomas – Maybe not sentencing per se, but he can alwasy get an order of protection for his kids. Not that hard to figure out. Dumbass is playing his case over the internet when it should be in court.

  49. Tenay says – reply to this


    49

    I'm with Travis on this of course….just cause Shanna's quite about it doesn't mean she isn't as crazy as he is…and if that's not her uncle on that database then its a hell of a coincidence…I don't blame Travis for being vocal about his concerns for the safety of his kids! Team Trav…and I think he's super hott esp in person! ;)



  50. 50

    These two a-holes need to shut up, no one cares about their personal lives. And this man is hella ugly.



  51. 51

    i got liquid engineering



  52. 52

    the best thing that ever happened to him was his wife. He's an idiot to think he'll ever have anyone who can compare to her. Why doesn't he shut up for the sake of his kids. what an ass.



  53. 53

    Poor kids.



  54. 54

    Judging from this guy's behavior, I'd say he's the one those poor kids should be concerned about. Anytime I hear about him tweeting or MySpacing insults about the mother of his children (regardless of her own problems) I can't help but think what a 2-year old he is. Grow some balls and handle your business like a man, not like some passive-aggressive whiner out for attention and sympathy. I had a good friend who was killed in a plane crash. I can't help but think that if he had a second chance at life, he would have never treated it like this tool. Get a life, Travis, and start focusing on being an adult with two kids (if you care about them growing up to be healthy at all). This is the kind of behavior that will mess your children up for life.



  55. 55

    "These two need to just work out their beef in court!"
    And you Mario, should quit taking Shanna's side and SHUT THE FUCK UP about it until it's known if this guy IS a child molester! NO parent in their right mind would willingly leave their children in a home with even a .00001% chance that something disgusting like being molested could happen to them!
    So, who the fuck do you think you are for questioning his parenting skills?
    D-Bag.



  56. 56

    1. He is a child molester
    2. If you search this website for the article about Shanna and Travis sorting out their summer custody, it is linked to court documents which specifically state that Richard Simnott (sp?), aka Rick, should not be anywhere near the children. (Can't remember exact wording but it's easy to find)

    I conclude, and from Travis' tweet *thanking* the RI cops, that everything went down in his favour. Team Travis, if only he refrained from sending those awful Tweets!



  57. 57

    IT WAS PROBABLY HER NEW BOYFRIEND AND HE JUST CAN'T STAND IT BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SELF ENTITLED PUNK ASS BITCH! THIS GUY IS THE MOST IMMATURE MAN OUT THERE AND HIS ANGER ISSUES ARE SPILLING OVER ONTO HIS POOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN OUT OF CONTROL FATHER! YOU THINK HE ONLY DOES THIS CRAP TO HER? THINK AGAIN, HE TORTURES HIS KIDS BY SAYING THEIR MOTHER IS A LAZY SLUT BUT HE CAN FUCK WHOEVER HE WANTS AND ITS A-OKAY! THIS REDNECK METH HEAD NEEDS TO GET THE FUCK OVER IT AND MOVE ON….



  58. 58

    Re: squashie – BUT HE DIDN'T REFRAIN AND THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT. DUH! HE SHOWS SO LITTLE LACK OF CONTROL THAT GAWD KNOWS WHAT HE DOES TO THOSE POOR KIDS WHEN HE LOOSES HIS TEMPER. ANYTHING GOES WITH HIM, HE HAS NO BOUNDARIES ON HOW TO BEHAVE. PUNK ASS WHINY BITCH=TRAVIS BARKER!



  59. 59

    HE IS JUST MAD BECAUSE HIS DICK GOT BURNT OFF! BITTER ASSHOLE.



  60. 60

    what the FUCK is wrong with all of you? fucking shit. you're all idiots. rick sinnott is a 2nd degree child molester. i would know, i'm from RI and live near shanna's parents house. travis was doing the right thing by trying to keep his kids away from sinnott. think about it. would YOU let your kids stay with a 2nd degree child molester? i didn't think so. and if you would, you're fucked in the head. seriously, you're all tools. :|



  61. 61

    Just plain tacky!!!
