Alabama Barker has issued a statement following reports she was rushed to hospital over a ‘nicotine withdrawal’.
A TMZ report published on Monday (December 30) claimed the 19-year-old was taken to hospital in the Los Angeles area as a result of ‘nicotine withdrawal’.
The report went on to allege that Alabama – who is the daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler – quit vaping around a month ago and called 911 after feeling unwell on her own one day.
Alabama has now issued a response to the speculation in an Instagram Story post that has since been deleted.

“I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last. The situation occurred some time ago,” she told her 2.1 million followers.
“And I was there for about three hours before being discharged.”
The teen continued: “They provided me with a nicotine patch and an inhaler, and that’s all. Let’s please avoid spreading any rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you.”
On Thursday (December 26), Alabama took to TikTok to reveal she was feeling under the weather with the flu.
Two days prior on Christmas Eve, she celebrated her 19th birthday.
“I have not been okay. On my birthday, I didn’t even get to enjoy it because I was so sick,” Alabama said in the video.
“But I am back on my feet, and I really want to give you guys a Christmas haul.”
Last year, Alabama explained just how her father parents her to her fans in a surprising quiz.
Posting a video to her TikTok page, she insisted her dad – who welcomed son Rocky with wife Kourtney Kardashian in 2023 and also shares son Landon and stepdaughter Atiana with his ex-wife Shanna – had ‘strict but not strict’ rules regarding her wellbeing.
“I’m asking my strict but not strict dad hypothetical questions,” Alabama told her followers.

“What would you do if I went out with a boy and I just completely stopped answering you?” she asked Travis, who was sitting behind her.
The musician said: “I would come to your location, and I would find you.”
“Am I allowed to have guy friends over? Am I allowed to close my door with a guy in the room?” Alabama then asked.
Travis answered: “[A guy can come over] If I am. Not without me coming in the room and checking on you.”
When asked whether his daughter was allowed to drive to a guy’s house late at night, he sternly answered ‘no’ as Alabama simply laughed.
Elsewhere in the video, Travis gave some pretty well-rounded answers – firm but protective with a willingness to explain why he had the rules.
Travis Barker’s son Landon breaks silence on ‘Diddy themed party’ he was caught attending
Landon explained that he ended up in a ‘bad situation’
Travis Barker’s son, Landon Barker, has broken his silence on the ‘Diddy themed party’ he attended.
The musician, 21, took to TikTok to set the record straight, after rumors emerged that he had attended a Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs-themed party last week for his birthday.

After speculation circulated online, Landon was accused of attending a party in which bottles of baby oil were being handed out.
The bottles were said to be in reference to authorities finding hundreds of bottles of baby oil after raiding Combs’ properties.
Combs’ residences in Los Angeles, California, and Miami, Florida, were subject to raids by Homeland Security back in March ‘as part of an ongoing investigation’.
In September, the 54-year-old rapper was arrested at Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, after being indicted by a grand jury. He was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion – charges of which he pleaded not guilty.
Following the backlash online, Landon has addressing the controversy in a video.
“I’d like to come on here and apologise and address the fact that people are saying I had this whole themed birthday party,” he said.
“First off, I’ve not had a birthday party. My birthday party is next week.
“What exactly happened was, we all went to Nobu for my birthday, me and my family and my friends.
“After Nobu my friends wanted to go celebrate so my friend contacted a club promoter.
“The club promoter then said, ‘hey, this guy is having a birthday party tonight, do you guys want to come to this party?’
“He said he’d give us a table and a bottle and make sure we’re all good to go so we’re like okay it’s my 21st let’s all go out and do something.”
Landon continued: “So we all arrived to this club, just me and my friends, we go to the table… everybody’s saying ‘why didn’t you leave straight away?’
“And that was because I didn’t know what was going on right away. It was a dark environment and all I could really see was another table having flashing bottles being brought out.
“The bottles had flashing lights underneath them so I wasn’t able to distinguish what they were.
“I’m just thinking they’re bringing out tequila with the bottle… I have no idea what’s going on at this point.
“And then they bring bottles out to our table and that’s when I visibly notice that they have light up baby oil.
“I didn’t pick up the bottle once and I do not condone it. I just went to a club to celebrate my birthday and ended up in a bad situation.”
In the caption, he added: “My apologies go out to everyone I hurt — this wasn’t my idea and I never wanted that to happen.”
Travis Barker’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler slams ‘disgusting’ Kardashian family
Shanna Moakler had a lot to say about the Kardashians
It doesn’t look like exes Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker will be putting any bad blood behind them any time soon.
Moakler and Barker were married between 2004 and 2008, and share two kids together: Landon, 20, and Alabama, 18.
Barker has since remarried and wed Kourtney Kardashian, which happened in a lavish Italian ceremony in 2022.
The celebrity pair have also recently welcomed their first child together – a son named Rocky.
Like Barker, Kardashian also has kids from a previous relationship and shares three children with her ex Scott Disick.
While Moakler and Barker have long been separated, they still seem to have beef with one another – with the Playboy veteran going as far as saying that she looks forward to the day they don’t have to talk anymore as their kids get older.
Now the 48-year-old has further voiced her dislike of her ex husband, even bringing the Kardashian family into it.
Speaking on Bunny XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, Moakler said: “[Travis] did me pretty dirty.”

Launching an explosive tirade against the Kardashian clan, Moakler went on: “F**k you, that family. You’re disgusting. I removed myself so that they couldn’t bond with my children over hating me.”
Further speaking about her kids in a seemingly direct message to them, Moakler said: “Go do what you guys need to do and when you’re ready, I will be here loving you unconditionally.
“And I will be here as your mother, and I will wait. And that’s what I did.”
The former Miss New York then went on to speak about the affect the Kardashian family initially had on her kids.
“I think there was a lot of glitter and fame and they watched them on TV and now their dad is dating one and they’re going to be on the show. And I think they got caught up in that, which young kids would do,” she explained.

“They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye [West] and, you know, all this big stuff.”
She also accused the pair of ‘parental alienation’.
UNILAD has contacted Barker and Kardashian’s reps for comment.
Moakler’s remarks come after Barker bought their kids, Landon and Alabama, two $140,000 Mercedes G-Wagons for Christmas.
18-year-old Alabama documented the moment she received the lavish gift on social media and shared a video of her new expensive car with a large, red bow on it.
She also shared a picture of the sleek motor with the caption, “What the f**k! I love you!”

The son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has reportedly been involved in a traffic collision in Los Angeles, according to reports.
Sources have claimed that the couple’s son Pax was rushed to hospital following a traffic collision in Los Angeles.

The 20-year-old was reportedly riding his electric bike without a helmet and crashed into the back of a car, law enforcement agencies have reportedly told TMZ.
Pax reportedly suffered a head injury following the crash and was rushed to hospital to receive treatment for the injury.
Reports have suggested that Pax, 20, had been driving down Los Feliz Boulevard at about 5pm local time.
This would have been a busy street during rush hour traffic.
The driver of the car is to have got out to check on Pax following the collision.
It’s further reported that Pax had hit the back of a car which had stopped at a red light during rush hour, and complained of hip pain as well as reportedly suffering a head injury.

It’s been suggested that medics were initially concerned about a potential complication of a head injury and rushed Pax to hospital.
Sources later told TMZ that Pax’s condition in hospital was stable, and even indicated that he may be able to go home soon.
Pax has frequently been spotted riding around Los Angeles on his electric bike in recent months.
His bike has been identified as a Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike, though it’s not clear if this is the bike he was riding during the crash.
The last time he was photographed riding the bike was on July 11.
Jolie adopted Pax in Vietnam in 2007 when he was three-years-old and Pitt would join the adoption later.

Pax is the second eldest of five children that the couple share.
Their other children are Maddox, 22; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
Pax has become estranged from Pitt amid Jolie and Pitt’s separation.
The pair confirmed their split when Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, and the pair were both declared legally single in 2019.
Since then, the pair have become embroiled in custody battles and legal wrangling over their shared assets, including a vineyard in France.
Neither Jolie or Pitt have commented publicly on reports about the crash.
A representative for Brad Pitt declined to comment.

Teen rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition after vaping equivalent of 400 cigarettes a week
Kyla Blight spent two weeks in hospital after her lung collapsed
A teen was rushed to hospital in a life-threatening condition after vaping the equivalent of 400 cigarettes per week.
In the early hours of May 11, Mark Blight took his daughter, Kyla, to hospital after receiving a phone call that she had collapsed and turned ‘blue’ while staying over at a friend’s house.
It was discovered Kyla nearly had a cardiac arrest, with the 17-year-old having a five-and-a-half hour surgery to remove part of her lung.
She also spent a further two weeks in hospital before she could return home.

A small air blister – medically known as a pulmonary bleb – had developed on the top of Kyla’s lungs and it is thought her excessive vaping caused this to burst and ultimately led to her lung collapsing.
Unbeknownst to her dad, the student began vaping at the age of 15 – though she believed the habit to be ‘harmless’.
Kyla would get through an entire 4,000 puff vape a week, which equates to a staggering 400 cigarettes.
Mark, who lives in Cumbria, England, said: “I’ve been to hell and back with Kyla over the last couple of weeks. I just put it down to vaping, they can’t put it down to anything else but vaping that’s caused this.
“She was at a friend’s house and I got a phone call at 4am that she had collapsed and gone blue. I went round for her. We took her down to the hospital.
“Her lung collapsed this time due to the hole. They put a drain in her. She’s a little girl who doesn’t like needles. She screamed. She was close to having a cardiac arrest.”

He added: “I was talking to the surgeon and he was saying about these blebs that can form on the lungs. They think it is the throw away vapes that burst these blebs and puncture a hole in your lungs. Apparently it’s a big thing now. He’s done a lot of operations like this.
“It was terrifying for me. I’ve cried like a baby. It was horrible to watch. I’ve been with her the whole time.
“It was life-threatening. It really did threaten her life because she was so close to having a cardiac arrest on that Friday. They said she went blue. They thought she’d gone.”

The dad-of-nine has since taken to Facebook to raise awareness of Kyla’s ‘life-threatening’ experience, urging other people to ‘throw away vapes’ because ‘it’s not worth it’.
Following her terrifying ordeal, Kyla has now opened her eyes to the dangers of using e-cigarettes which she now ‘won’t touch’.
The 17-year-old said: “I honestly thought they were harmless and wouldn’t do anything to anyone, even though I had seen so many things about it. I just feel like everyone has that same view.
“But now I won’t touch them. I wouldn’t go near them. The situation has really scared me out of them.”
