Travis Barkeris setting the record straight on the rumors that he played a role inKourtneyandKim Kardashian’s sisterly feud.
In a new interview with theLos Angeles Times, Barker, 47, addressed the “ridiculous” speculation that his crush on Kim nearly two decades ago — which he revealed in his 2016 memoir — has anything to do with her and Kourtney’s current relationship.
“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,” theBlink-182drummer said, reflecting on the mention he made of the SKIMS founder in his memoir.
He wrote that she was “f—ing hot” and he kept “secretly checking [her] out” despite the fact that he was datingParis Hiltonat the time.
“It’s like, ‘Kourtney’s fans are worried about Travis. He’s a womanizer.’ Stop it,” Barker told the outlet, adding of the details he included in the memoir, “I obviously shared all that stuff because I wanted to move past it. It was therapeutic for me.”
Barker — whowed Kourtney, 44, in a series of three ceremonieslast year — added, “That’s her sister. She knows we used to talk. Nothing bad was going on.”

Kim has also spoken out about the speculation surrounding her and Barker’s past. In 2021, when Kourtney and the musician began dating, she replied to a follower-submitted question on Instagramdenying the rumor.
“NO! False narrative!" Kim wrote in response to a fan asking if she’d ever hooked up with Barker. “We’ve been friends for years, and I’m so happy for him and Kourt.”
