Alabama Barker has alleged that friends stole more than $130,000 worth of designer clothes, jewellery and a Birkin bag from her over a period of two years. The 20-year-old influencer, the daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, made the claims in a TikTok post that has since been deleted.
"They had been taking from me for two years," she said. Her diamond rings also kept going missing, she said.
"It's $20,000 jeans and there's four pairs," she added. Barker said she first noticed items were missing after inviting friends to stay at her home.
She was "in denial" at first and assumed she had misplaced them. She then learned that one friend was trying to sell items to other friends, and she claims those items belonged to her.
"You knew I didn't have cameras and you're shysty, and you took everything from me," she said. According to Barker, the same friend tried to sell her the Birkin bag.
She says he claimed a video showing him attempting to sell her belongings was generated by artificial intelligence (AI). She said she has filed a report with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) but has "gotten no help."
The FBI told E!News it could neither confirm nor deny an investigation. Barker also posted pictures of herself wearing the jeans and carrying the bag, with one caption reading: "I miss them so bad." The claims are allegations, and the people she accuses have not been named.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation regarding privacy and trust among social media influencers. Barker, who has grown up in the public eye, expressed her frustration over the betrayal by those she considered close.
The financial loss is significant, but the emotional toll of the breach of trust appears to be the primary focus of her public statements. Legal experts suggest that without concrete evidence or surveillance footage, proving such theft in a private setting can be challenging.
Barker's decision to go public with these allegations serves as a warning to others in her circle about the consequences of such actions. As the investigation remains in a state of uncertainty, fans and followers have expressed their support for the young star.
The case highlights the vulnerabilities faced by high-profile individuals who open their homes to acquaintances. The influencer continues to manage her digital presence while dealing with the fallout of these events.
Her transparency about the situation has drawn both sympathy and scrutiny from the online community. For now, the matter remains an unresolved dispute between Barker and her former associates.
No formal charges have been filed against any specific individuals, and the investigation by authorities remains unconfirmed.
