Alabama Barker has addressed the cheating accusations Bhad Bhabie made against her.
The 21-year-old rapper (real name: Danielle Bregoli) claimed in a now-deleted Instagram post shared Tuesday, December 17, that Alabama— the 18-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler — had stolen her boyfriend, Le Vaughn. (Bhad Bhabie, labeled the "'Cash Me Outside' girl" after her viral Dr. Phil appearance in 2016, shares 9-month-old daughter Kali with Vaughn, 26.)
According to Us Weekly, Alabama posted a since-deleted TikTok video on Wednesday, December 18, explaining her side of the story.
The Blink-182 drummer's daughter denied that she dated Vaughn and said she tried to cut communication with him in August after they met up in Las Vegas, and he lied about being in a relationship.
"I've been to her house once and I guess he was there, but I never saw his face, I'm not looking to wreck anyone's home or family. I don't get any cool points from that and I don't benefit from it all. I also would never date this man," she stated. "Sadly, I fell for his manipulative lies and after I told him I no longer wanted communication with him, he continuously tried to talk to me and put me in a very uncomfortable position."
Alabama noted she would never cross those lines and harm a family.
"The situation is unfortunate and goes against my morals as a woman. My intentions are never to break a family apart," Alabama said per the outlet. "That is the lowest of the barrel. Believe me or don't believe me, that is just disgusting."
Alabama also alleged that Vaughn was trying to manipulate the two women and drive a wedge between them.
"Thankfully, I'm not blind to the fact that he's manipulating her or myself. He's also gaslighting the situation and trying to turn us against each other when really he was the problem from the beginning," she remarked. "Me and Danielle were more like acquaintances than anything."
While Alabama insists that she never dated Vaughn, she did take responsibility for any role she played in the situation and empathized with Bhad Bhabie, saying, "I take full accountability for things I did participate in, whether I did or did not know, that's not fair to her at all. He's pushing 30 and he thinks this is OK. That is honestly scary. ... I understand her frustration."
