An interview with Moakler appears in the Daily Mail on Sunday, with the ex-beauty queen calling out the X Factor UK judge for her involvement with Barker.
Right out of the gate, Moakler went all in on her ill-fated marriage to Travis:
“Our marriage was plagued by his addictions to pills and other women. He constantly cheated on me. Living with him was like being on a rollercoaster ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ he’s a Jekyll and Hyde character. I wish Rita good luck ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ she’ll need it.”
Moakler also speculated as to what drew Ora and Barker to each other in the first place:
“Travis is cool. I think that’s the attraction. Rita’s trying to make it in America and Travis knows everyone in the music industry. For Travis, she’s a hot 24-year-old who makes him look young and relevant. They are both people who crave publicity so it’s a good match. I just hope Rita understands what she is getting into.”
Even Shanna speculated that the drummer must be somewhat serious about Rita, though, considering the young pop star has already met her older boyfriend’s kids:
“I guess Travis must be serious about Rita if she’s met the children.”
Nevertheless, Travis and Shanna had a well-documented and volatile relationship, which Shanna alleges was all about instant gratification and various levels of emotional and substance abuse:
“He was a serious pill addict. It’s something he’d never hidden. That made him have wild mood swings. He became more famous and surrounded himself with people who were bad people. I always told Travis the truth but he had this entourage, people who had everything to gain from partying with him and doing drugs. They didn’t want the wife around.”
What do U make of Shanna’s comments about Travis and Rita?! Is it just sour grapes long after a failed relationship, or should Ora watch out after getting involved with Barker??
