Travis Barker has broken his silence over wife Kourtney Kardashian's ongoing feud with her sister, Kim Kardashian.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times published on Sunday, Oct. 29, the Blink-182 drummer dispelled rumors that his crush on Kim in the early 2000s was the cause of Kourtney and Kim's spat.
“You give people a little information and they think they’ve solved the mystery of ‘this is why they’re fighting.’ It’s just so ridiculous,” Barker told the publication of his 2016 memoir—in which he described Kim as “f---ing hot" and shared that he was “secretly checking [her] out” while dating Paris Hilton.
He continued: “It’s like, ‘Kourtney’s fans are worried about Travis. He’s a womanizer.’ Stop it. I obviously shared all that stuff because I wanted to move past it. It was therapeutic for me.”
Barker also addressed Kourtney's feelings about what he wrote in the memoir.
“That’s her sister," he told the L.A. Times. "She knows we used to talk. Nothing bad was going on.”
Kim previously shot down speculation that she and Barker hooked up. "False narrative! We've been friends for years and I'm so happy for him and Kourt," she wrote in a Q&A on her Instagram Story in May 2021, per Us Weekly.
As The Kardashians fans know all too well, Kim and Kourtney's feud is tied to Kim releasing a collection with Dolce & Gabbana less than a year after Kourtney's May 2022 wedding—which was styled by, you guessed it, Dolce & Gabbana.
After Kourtney accused Kim of stealing her "f--king wedding country," Kim insisted it was Kourtney who ripped off her and Kanye West's 2014 wedding.
"I got married in Italy. Am I saying you copied me by getting married in Italy?" Kim said in a confessional on the Hulu series. "Who performed at my wedding? Andrea Bocelli. Who performed at Kourtney’s wedding? Andrea Bocelli."
Hopefully, Barker, Kim and Kourtney have been able to sort everything out and are working on mending their relationships.
