Alabama Barker Defends Christmas Lingerie Amid Backlash
Alabama Barker, the 20-year-old daughter of Travis Barker, recently ignited a social media firestorm after showcasing her Christmas gifts, specifically lingerie from her father and stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian. Following a wave of critical comments questioning the appropriateness of receiving Agent Provocateur corsets, bras, and panties, Barker took to TikTok on December 29th to directly address her detractors. She vehemently dismissed the controversy, stating, “Why the f*** are you guys trying to make this lingerie thing a thing? It’s never going to be a thing, Gretchen!”
Barker clarified that the lingerie was on her personal Christmas wish list, and it was Kourtney Kardashian, not Travis Barker, who selected the items. She explained that her father simply wanted to fulfill her wish and delegated the task to Kourtney. Alabama further rebuffed the notion that the gifts were inappropriate, asserting, “God forbid a girl wanted cute panties and bras. Like, literally leave me alone.” Expressing her frustration with the negative feedback, she declared she would never share another Christmas haul due to the incessant criticism.
Beyond the contentious lingerie, Alabama's extensive holiday haul included numerous other luxury items, demonstrating her family's generosity. From Travis and Kourtney, she received a coveted pink Hermès Birkin bag, chosen with input from Kylie Jenner, and Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings. Her extended family also contributed lavish presents: Kylie Jenner gifted a vintage Chanel vanity case, Kendall Jenner a Balenciaga bag, and Kris Jenner Hermès slides. Her siblings, Landon Barker and Atiana De La Hoya, presented her with a diamond necklace and another Agent Provocateur robe, respectively. Despite the unexpected backlash over the lingerie, Alabama concluded her reflections by expressing profound gratitude, stating she felt “beyond blessed, grateful thankful” and “so happy” for her holiday gifts.
