Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker BEGGING FOR HELP After Alabama Gets EXPOSED | HO

By Ashley Collins, Celebrity Life Weekly

May 2025 — The Barker-Kardashian household is facing turmoil as Alabama Barker, the outspoken daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, finds herself at the center of a whirlwind of controversy. With her social media drama, public feuds, and questionable choices, Alabama has left her father and stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian, “begging for help” and considering crisis PR to manage the growing chaos.

A Storm Named Alabama

Alabama Barker, just 19, has always been a force of nature—a quality that has both captivated and alarmed those around her. But recent months have seen the teenager’s antics reach new heights. From an explosive feud with rapper Bhad Bhabie (aka Bad Baby) to rumors of dating older men and orchestrating pranks that have sparked cultural debates, Alabama’s name is rarely out of the headlines.

The latest drama began when Alabama’s feud with Bad Baby spilled across social media, dragging in other members of the Kardashian-Barker clan. The spat, which started over alleged relationship drama, quickly escalated into a public war of words, with diss tracks, deleted posts, and even family members becoming collateral damage.

Kourtney’s Breaking Point

Insiders report that Kourtney Kardashian is “at her wit’s end” with Alabama’s refusal to tone down the drama. Despite repeated requests from the family to avoid public feuds and negative attention, Alabama has doubled down, much to the frustration of her famous stepmother.

“Kourtney doesn’t raise her children this way, and she’s fed up,” a source close to the family revealed. “She’s suggested crisis PR for Alabama, but at the end of the day, Alabama is an adult and makes her own choices. There’s only so much Kourtney can do.”

Kourtney, who shares three children with ex Scott Disick and a young son, Rocky, with Travis Barker, has tried to shield her kids from the spotlight’s harshest glare. But as her children grow older and become more active online, keeping them out of the drama has become increasingly difficult.

Family Tensions Spill Over

The situation reached a boiling point when Alabama’s boyfriend, Scooter Jackson, went live on Instagram with Kourtney’s son, Reign. The livestream quickly devolved into wild rumors about Reign’s paternity, with viewers asking if Justin Bieber was really his father. Reign, clearly unprepared for the question, denied the rumor, but the damage was done.

“Kourtney was livid,” the insider said. “She had never even talked to Reign about those rumors before. She tries to keep her kids away from all that, but it’s getting harder as they get older.”

Scott Disick, Reign’s father, was also reportedly upset after hearing his son refer to him as “Scotty” during the livestream. The incident isn’t the first time Alabama’s influence has caused friction within the blended family.

A Pattern of Public Drama

Alabama’s feud with Bad Baby has been especially messy. The two have traded insults for weeks, with Bad Baby accusing Alabama of being a “homewrecker” and stealing her on-again, off-again boyfriend Levonne. Alabama has fiercely denied the claims, but the drama has only intensified, with both parties dropping diss tracks and airing personal grievances online.

Bad Baby’s mother even got involved, threatening Alabama and making derogatory comments about her and her family. The feud has not only embarrassed the Barker-Kardashian family but also drawn unwanted attention to Kourtney’s young children, especially after Rocky was mentioned in the crossfire.

Kourtney has publicly urged Alabama to “stand down” and avoid fueling the feud, emphasizing that the best response is often no response at all. “She believes in deescalating drama,” a friend of the family explained. “But Alabama takes everything personally and feels the need to defend herself.”

Cultural Clashes and Social Media Backlash

Alabama’s controversial behavior hasn’t been limited to online feuds. She recently faced criticism for a social media video in which she encouraged her black friends to take part in a prank—ding-dong ditching a neighbor’s house in their affluent Calabasas neighborhood. One of her friends objected, pointing out the racial implications and the risk of being perceived as committing a crime.

Alabama dismissed their concerns, calling her friends “boring” for not wanting to participate. The clip quickly went viral, with many calling it tone-deaf and insensitive. “Want our rhythm so bad but can never handle the blues,” one commenter wrote, highlighting the ongoing conversation about cultural appropriation and privilege.

Kourtney and Travis: United but Helpless

Despite the chaos, sources say Kourtney and Travis are united in their approach to Alabama’s behavior. “They’re not clashing over what to do,” the insider shared. “They both believe Alabama needs professional help to manage her public image, but she’s an adult and they can’t force her.”

Kourtney has made it clear that she doesn’t blame Travis for Alabama’s actions, but the situation has left both parents feeling powerless. “They’re frustrated because there’s nothing they can do. They just want to protect their family and keep the drama out of their lives.”

A Family Under Siege

The Kardashian-Barker family is no stranger to rumors and public scrutiny, but the latest wave of drama has hit especially hard. Kourtney has rarely addressed rumors about her children, but she recently took to Instagram to shut down false reports about her eldest son Mason allegedly fathering a child.

“My son really values his privacy and I’m asking all media to please be respectful,” she wrote. “He is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him.”

Kourtney’s plea for privacy and respect is echoed by many in the family, but as Alabama’s star continues to rise—and her controversies multiply—keeping the peace is proving to be a nearly impossible task.

Looking for a Way Forward

With Alabama refusing to back down and the family’s reputation on the line, Kourtney and Travis are reportedly “begging for help” from crisis PR professionals. They hope that expert guidance can help Alabama navigate the pitfalls of fame and avoid further scandals.

But as the drama shows no sign of slowing, one thing is clear: Alabama Barker is not backing down, and the Barker-Kardashian family will have to brace themselves for whatever comes next.

What do you think? Is Alabama simply a rebellious teen, or is her behavior spiraling out of control? Can Kourtney and Travis restore order, or is this just the new normal for Hollywood’s most talked-about family?
