Alabama Barker, the 18-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, has sparked concern among fans after sharing a worrying photo from what appeared to be a hospital. In the since-deleted Instagram post, Alabama lay in a hospital bed with medical equipment visible beside her, accompanied by a plea for prayers from her followers.
While the exact reason for her hospital visit remains undisclosed, the snapshot, posted on Tuesday, prompted an outpouring of support from fans concerned about Alabama’s well-being. Despite removing the post shortly after sharing it, Alabama later posted a picture from an airport with the caption “I’m back baby,” suggesting that she had been discharged.
Alabama’s health struggles have been a topic of discussion in the past. Last August, she revealed that she suffers from an autoimmune disorder and a thyroid problem, which she addressed in response to body shamers. In a TikTok video, she candidly explained her weight gain, attributing it to her health conditions and emphasizing the importance of understanding and compassion from others.
In addition to her health battles, Alabama has faced criticism regarding her appearance, with some speculating about cosmetic surgeries. However, Alabama has repeatedly asserted her natural beauty, acknowledging only lip enhancements while urging others to accept her as she is.
Addressing negative comments on social media, Alabama shared her philosophy of rising above the fray and refusing to engage with negativity. She emphasized the importance of focusing on one’s own journey and not allowing the opinions of others to dictate self-worth.
Alabama is the daughter of Travis Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, with whom he shares another child, Landon, 20. Travis Barker remarried in 2022, tying the knot with Kourtney Kardashian, with whom he welcomed a son named Rocky in November last year.
As Alabama navigates her health challenges and the scrutiny of public attention, her openness about her struggles and her commitment to positivity serve as a testament to her resilience and strength. Fans continue to offer their support and prayers for her well-being during this challenging time.
