Shanna Moakler Reveals Why She Disliked Being in Travis Barker’s Doc.
The documentary about her ex-husband Travis Barker isn't appealing to Shanna Moakler. Nealy expressed her sorrow for taking part in the production a month after Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear was released.
"I wish I didn’t do it," on the September 10 episode of iHeartRadio's I Do, Part 2 podcast, Moakler came clean. "I knew in my heart I wasn't going to be portrayed the way that I felt I deserved."
Although the 51-year-old hasn't seen the finished version of the Hulu documentary, which featured appearances by Barker's wife Kourtney Kardashian and her children Alabama Barker, 20, Landon Barker, 22, and Atiana De La Hoya, 27, she thinks it essentially covers the same ground as what the Blink-182 drummer described in his 2015 memoir Can I Say.

"I regretted being a part of that book," Moakler revealed. "I didn't like how I was edited or portrayed in that book. It was really, really hurtful."
As a result, Moakler acknowledges that he has no clue "how he got me to go and do this documentary," which was shot over a nine-year period.
"I think it was before he was with his wife," the Meet the Barkers alum went on. "I'm a little disappointed with myself for participating."
In the doc, Moakler talked about her initial encounter with Barker in 2002 after his divorce from Melissa Kennedy, his first wife, and his battles with addiction during that time.
“He told me, 'You know, I take about 20 to 30 pills a day sometimes,'" Moakler appeared in the movie. "And that just was like, 'How are you alive right now?'"
After almost four years of marriage, Barker, now fifty, and Moakler formalized their divorce in 2008. The musician attributed their breakup to his demanding job responsibilities in his documentary.
"Balancing home life and touring, our relationship was getting more and more challenging," Barker remembered. "Divorce came soon after."
How did he and 47-year-old Kardashian become together? Before taking their relationship to the next level, Barker was friends with the reality star, who has children with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 16, Penelope Disick, 13, and Reign Disick, 11.
"I always thought to myself, ‘If this happens, it’s going to be bigger than we could ever imagine,'" Barker went on to say in the doc. "Just by looking into her eyes, I knew she was the one."
