Shanna Moakler Recalls Being Told She Was Fat At 105 Pounds
For a long time, Shanna Moakler was known as more than just Travis Barker’s dramatic ex-wife. She was a model and an actress. Moakler was Miss USA in 1995 and then went on to be Playmate of the Month in 2001. In terms of acting, she was on the television show, Pacific Blue and in the Adam Sandler film, The Wedding Singer. There, she played a flight attendant toward the end of the movie. Eventually, she met and married Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker. They starred in their own MTV reality series, Meet The Barkers where fans could get a glimpse of their life together.
Despite her ups and downs in relationships and Hollywood, Shanna Moakler has tried to keep up her blonde bombshell status. Now, she is revealing that there was a time when being beautiful came at a cost. In an Instagram post, the mother of three shared a throwback modeling photo of herself.

The caption reads: “I just found all these old modeling photos from when I first started out, I posted some in my story, this was actually from a shoot I did for Hampton magazine in st barts, I was 18! Lil baby shanna 😂I weighed about 105lbs then and was told I was fat by agents and to lose weight lol.” Clearly, there is no need for her to lose weight at all so the fact that she was fat-shamed is absolutely tragic.
Instagram Reacts
Obviously, social media had a very strong reaction to Shanna Moakler’s post. Her fans and followers had this to say. “That’s how it use to be back then with agents, so glad times have changed and they are more accepting to plus size now,” one noted. Another added: “Omggg! You are so tiny! I was a teen in the 90s and it was so terrible how thin girls were made to feel like they needed to lose weight. It was such a toxic time body image wise. It’s so nice to see that narrative finally starting to change. You look beautiful now and then. ♥️”
