Travis Barker thanks fans on MySpace but disses ex-wife Shanna Moakler
Posted on October 12th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Travis Barker expressed his “deepest thanks” to fans via his MySpace page for their support during his recovery from a deadly plane crash in September. Barker and fellow passenger DJ AM were the only survivors of a fiery Sept. 19 plane crash in South Carolina that killed four. Barker has been hospitalized since the accident, recovering from burns on his torso and lower body. He recently took a bus back to LA from South Carolina to continue his recovery. The Blink-182 drummer also posted photos of himself in his hospital bed and and paid tribute to his assistant Chris Baker, 29, and his security guard Charles Still, 29, whose lives were claimed by the Sept. 19 crash. Barker said he is in high spirits after seeing DJ AM. Barker writes:
“I got to see AM the other day. Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration. I saw just how awesome the doctors’ work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today.”
But the 32-year-old also took a brief time-out to jab at ex-wife Shanna Moakler, who reportedly has been by his side since the ordeal. Moakler was photographed in tears - and oddly wearing a ring on that special finger - outside Barker’s Augusta, Ga., hospital on Sept. 22. The on-again, off-again couple briefly reconciled in 2007 after a lengthy separation, but finally divorced in February 2008. Barker wrote:
“Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I’ve been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and an Georgia.”
Barker, later deleted the diss from his MySpace Celebrity blog, but left the message up on his actual MySpace page. Barker, who sustained second- and third-degree burns from the crash, also posted an update on his own condition:
Barker writes, “Like the doctors said from the beginning, its [sic] been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday.” He also says he’s now able to move his fingers on his right hand.
