Travis Barker's MySpace Lash Out

Travis Barker and Shanna MoaklerWhen Hollywood couples move to Splitsville, it never seems to be a smooth transition. The recent split between Blink 182's Travis Barker and wife and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler is no exception, and now the split has spilled into MySpace.

Shanna "officially" commented on the split last Tuesday on her MySpace page, telling fans that she was devastated by the demise of her marriage. Now, following in her footsteps, Travis Barker has lashed back with a detailed blog on his MySpace page describing in his opinion what life with the Barkers was actually like and what it was that he says wrecked their marriage.

Travis says at one point he found condoms at his house and says "we don't use condoms ever." He talks about her alleged partying and claims that a "normal" day is him and the kids getting up around 7 a.m. while Shanna sleeps in until 2 p.m The nanny, who he says the kids often call "mommy," gets the kids ready for the day while Shanna takes care of more important things like getting her nails done. Barker also says his wife didn't tell him about her turn on "Dancing with the Stars."

In his letter he says that when you're pushed, you push back.

This morning, Shanna issued the following statement to TMZ: "If that MySpace site was truly created by Travis then I'm seriously concerned for his mental well being. The picture he paints is so far-fetched that I can't believe this is his reality. If it is, then I'm truly concerned for him. Perhaps the lifestyle he leads is taking its toll on him. For the sake of our children I hope that he seeks professional help."

UPDATE 2:03 p.m. ET: Barker has apparently removed his posting from his MySpace page. A rep for Barker had no comment.

31. I was shocked about this one because Travis seemed to be really into her. Not surprising, however, is that her love of sleeping has something to do with their split. Maybe she has some sort of illness we the public don't know about? How can you sleep until 2 am when you have 3 kids, nanny or not?? She is their mother !! Oh well, as usual the kids will suffer.

32. Why is everyone coming down on Shanna? I don't know if you guys have ever watched MTV shows before, but they are HEAVILY edited. Clearly MTV would paint Travis as a good guy -- Blink 182 ruled MTV when they were together. Shanna and Travis had roles to play, and they played them. Shanna spent much more of the second season of "Meet the Barkers" in bed then she did in the first season.

God forbid the divorce culture we're living in blame both parties for their refusal to be adults and realize that marriage is work. Marriage is not fun 100% of the time, and its not easy. Maybe if people would take the time to get to know each other rather than have a child out of wedlock and then get married because they think they should, the marriage would have lasted longer. Shanna and Travis are both to blame because they refused to work out whatever went wrong between them, and because of their refusal to go about their divorce in an intelligent, mature way.

33. Im with Travis. He was up and out the door working everyday. She hardly ever got up with him. My mom was ALWAYS up with my dad when he was getting ready for work, rasied up that way, has a fit if we don't treat our husbands with the same respect. She was always in bed. When he left, when he got home. When she left to go meet him somewhere, she'd be in the bed waiting on him...LAZY.

34. LETS BE REAL SHANA, EVERY ONE AND THEIR MAMA COULD SEE ON THE REALITY SHOW THAT YOU SPENT MOST OF YOUR TIME IN BED AND IF YOU ARE NOT WORKING WHAT DO YOU NEED A NANNY FOR OTHER THAN TO DO THINGS A REAL WIFE SHOULD BE DOING ANYWAY. THAT GIRL IS LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD AND TRAVIS DESERVES BETTER AND SO DO THE KIDS.

35. I think they both have faults. I do kind of find it hard to believe she was cheating considering how sad and devestated she was everytime he left on tour...but then again I may be different...

36. I watched every episode of Meet the Barkers. Shanna was sleeping all of the time. Even when she wasn't pregnant. I was shocked to hear that her first child is by Oscar De La Hoya. Why hasn't he taken full custody of that girl. She certainly would have more attention. She always got up in the afternoon or evening and to my knowledge it always look liked the kids were already in the bed. And now she has kids. Wow. Need more nannys. That is terrible for someone that didn't do anything but stay at home to have a nanny. I also remember that after she had this last child that the nanny was getting up with it at night. I don't blame the kids for calling the nanny mom. She was more a mom than Shanna. I knew that she was just taking Travis for his money. She isn't very pretty and I think that she thinks that she is everything. Who care if Travis smokes pot or not at least he does take care of the kids. Hell, who doesn't smoke dope these days. I really feel sorry for the kids and I am glad that Travis opened his eyes. Money grubbing b****.

37. I think both of you are stupid for not using condoms.Ther is no telling who he has been with in the past or her for that matter. Good luck to the kids.

38. they're the perfect example of the fact that stupid people should NOT breed

39. Their reality show tells it all. She is very lazy and what Travis says is backed up by the show. What I saw was her doing exactly what he said and he just got fed up with her. Even in the opening of the show, it states what their typical day is like for the both of them and her states that she sleeps. Don't believe me watch the show again. The proof is right there. She was lucky he put up with that for as long as he did. I used to think she had the life but if you think about who suffers when you are lazy, your kids and your marriage. She better watch out because he can use the show against her as back up for his grounds for divorce. At first I thought she was fabulous but I quickly realized she is very lazy and dumb!!

41. I dont know. Why is this guy so ugly. He alwasys tries to look so tough.
I think it is funny that she destroyed him. I hope she gets him for alot
of money and causes him to take responsibility, for looking the way he does.

Why would she ever want to be with him. Im sure people were laughing at them "him" behind thier backs. He is not very cool. And seems kinda like a Loser. He will be a no body with in 6 months. Like MK OLSEN.
wINK wINK

42. Shanna needs to get off her lazy ass and be a Mom and get a job. Travis has more credibilty because he is the breadwinner and was not seen in bed on the show as much as he golddigging wife.

43. Wow! Tha'ts so sad! I hear that many "rocker wives" are like that, but I don't know.There's a band that I love, and I love many, and some of the members are currently in "situations". I refuse to call them marriages. I've heard many horror tales just like that one, and sad to think that some may be true. I hope the best for Travis, and pray for Shanna's sake that he's only exaggerating, though if he loves her, I don't know why he would. God Bless You, Travis. And I pray for your kids.

44. She did seem like she could be a brat and didn't carry herself very well. She seems like the type to live in a trailer park or cause some kind of drama in the family. A loose canon if you will. On the other hand, Travis seemed like a pretty cool dude and a good dad. I don't know the real deal, but if you ask me, based on what the public has seen and read, then I got Travis' back...

45. I aint sayin' she's a gold digga, but she aint messin' with no broke wigga...
