Shanna Moakler: Devasted But Lifting Travis’s Spirits
Shanna Moakler is seen crying after visiting ex-husband, former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia on Monday.
On Friday, Travis was involved in a plane crash that left him and pal D.J. AM badly burned and killed four others.
“[Shanna's] there trying to lift his spirits,” a source close to Moakler tells People. “She’s there for him and will be there for him as long as it takes. She loves him… When she got the call, she was in shock. She was very upset. It was devastating for her. But she knew she had to keep it together for Travis, her kids and her family.”

awwwwwwh =\
aaaw:(
ireally hope they get better.. and without scars, traumas etc..
Those pictures are disgusting.
That’s a highly personal moment and they should be taken down.
i agree … this is personal and should be taken down ASAP!!
aaaaaaaw..
hope he gets better soon,
Cant’ believed a plane crash???
=’(
life will never be the same again for them
awwww
ta.se.ash.de. hater - I don’t think it’s possible not to have scars and trauma after surviving a plane crash where four people died and the plane was in pieces. At least they’re alive. There are four families who lost loved ones permanently.
i feel bad for her :/ poor girl
Those photographers should really give her her privacy.
I think this is so personal and should be taken down.
omg I can’t believe people would even take these pics let alone post them on a celeb blog. Jared I hate it when you do stuff like this. seriously, this is so personal. Poor woman.
Should be taken down, personal
That’s so sad..
I hope they are alright.
:(
First of all, for all those who are raggin’ about the pic’s of her at the hospital, this happens daily. When a police officer or fire fighter is injured, the media usually covers the family, and it’s very personal. But it is what it is. This is journalism to some.
please take these photos down. they are unbelievably inappropriate. there shouldn’t even be photographers there.
ridiculous parasites. how can you sleep at night- what a piece of sh*t you are.
this is it for me for good. i’m deleting this site immediately. I hope more of you do the same.
I feel so sorry for Travis and his children. I have mixed emotions about shanna being there. Everyone who knows these two knows that she’s a hanger on, and she’s a pain in the assss. As much as I feel that she’s deeply concerned, I can’t help but wonder if she’s going to try and control all his company and visitors. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
The paparazzi suck!
This is a trying time for her and no one should have taken these photos, shared them or posted them. I’d recommend they be taken down b/c this site is not trashy like other sites.
mary - **** off, you dont know what yure talking about. They dont take pics of people crying, not without a model release if its not a celeb and for JOURNALISM. This is an obvious invade of privacey from the paps, not for some journal or newspaper.
poor shanna… I hope travis gets better soon…
I support him with all my heart… :)
Take this pictures down! This is the most disgusting violation of someone’s privacy!
Tracy- you will be missed, bye! Im sure jared is devastated. Dumbass.
Please take the photos off the website please!
Mary is right,,,,most of you scum bags continue to look at this website for the same reason…an invasion of privacy. What’s the diff between a pic of Shana at the hospital or invading britney spears in her backyard or Lilo getting tanked at a bar….what a bunch of hypocrites!!!
I have never written on a blog and think just jared usually toes the candid celeb line well, but these photos are really, really inappropriate to post.
Any person- celebrity or not- deserves the privacy to grieve without this kind of invasion. If these photos were taken in a hospital without her consent, it’s not even legal. And beyond that, it’s cruel.
STELLA. Theres a difference between looking at someone get their coffee and looking at someone crying at a hospital. This is TOO MUCH. If you don’t understand that, you’re crazy! Any invasion of privacey is an invasion of privacey that’s true, but this feels too wrong.
i think this is a private matter that shouldn’t be exploited by photogs!
AMANDA NUMBER # 5………..This really WAS a true invasion of privacy!!……….AGREE with you !!!!………How thoughtless and uncaring to show her upset and crying when visiting him….WHAT NEXT????….PICTURES OF THE BURNS AND TREATMENTS ????
- Travis will be ok, Shanna Moakler! Don’t worry! =/’
We love him soo much! :(
I would like to see them get back together.
i don’t know what’s worse, the people who took these pictures or you, jared, for actually posting them

I just have to comment on your comments. Do you know them PERSONALLY? How could you say something so shallow about her? Do you really know her or just the felling you get from the media? I get the feeling that these two really love each other and that she is there FOR HIM, she loves him, whether they are together or not is really no concern of mine..(although I have read they were just seen together on Wed…so there must still be love or at least friendship there) I don’t really enjoy my ex, but if this was me I would be there in a heartbeat…..Don’t judge her!!! Specially at a time like this.
I agree with several other posters…. These photos are quite tasteless, a person deserves their privacy at a traumatic time such as this. A person deserves their time to grieve without this invasion, it is immoral and cruel.
These are wildly inappropriate and I think they should be taken down immediately. These are pictures taken during a horrific time in this family’s life and the last thing they should have to worry about are paparazzi following them and documenting this tragedy.
This site is so much better than this.
omg i feel soo bad for Travis and Shanna, also DJ AM.
i hope everything come out ok.
=(
Please please take this photos down.
You should respect them and thier families, Jared.
I wish Travis and DJ AM are getting better and better.
And for the four that passed away.
Rest in peace..
This is a very painful moment that should’ve been private. Makes me feel bad for looking at these.
I really think that these pictures cross the line. We really don’t need to see her coming out of his hospital room.
I have liked this site for some time, and I understand that Jared puts on photos that he thinks people will find interesting, however, I think that these pictures should be removed.
wow these really should be taken off, these are too personal. if my ex was in a plane crash, i would want to be photographed crying about it. that’s just disrespectful of the paps
yeah, jared, let’s pass on these types of photos next time. I feel creepy just looking at them and just want to voice my opinion that personal photos like this should not be put up. Thanks.
Oh, come on…it’s like the accident on the side of the road - don’t want to look, but keep turning your heads…
When you have your own site, you can decide what you post. Until then, Jared will enjoy your “outraged” hits…..
Recovering from a burn can be a real challenge - hope they both come out of this OK.
Jared, I agree with a lot of these people. This is just WRONG. Please take these pictures down.
Jared are you even reading the comments on your blog - TAKE THESE PICTURES DOWN! It’s so over the line. It’s not even debatable.
johanna @ 09/22/2008 at 8:13 pm
You are very imature. How old are you? 14?
Shanna is the mother of his children. Despite the troubles between them, during times like this, he needs her to be there and she needs to be there for him.
Johanna, FINISH Jr. High and get back to us in 25 years or so.
This is a personal situation that should be handled with more privacy.
However, I feel that this site and others should also stop posting celebrity baby photos as well. How many people here ohh and ahhh over suri and shiloh etc.
That is just as disgusting and I think people are sick to keep making these comments. The more comments you leave the more aggressive the photographers are to stalk these people because of all the $$$.
Terrible to take pictures of a woman in such pain. Please remove them.
Jared take the pictures down.
First Amendment states the freedom of the press.
A hospital is a public domain, and therefore, they can take photos.
But it’s a sad moment for her and her family and his family, and it’s all about taste. And this is distasteful.
But you know what? The same thing happened to Britney and no one was yelling to take any of the photos of her crying or going into the hospital down.
This is disgusting, have you no decency justjared? I am never visiting your site again. This seriously crosses the line.
Take this down, it’s inappropriate.
For those of you commenting that Jared should take down the pictures… you are looking at a website that follows the lives of famous people. You look at what they wear, what they eat, who they kiss, where they go, what they drive… you are already contributing to the invasion of privacy, so get over your sudden morals. Don’t like invading privacy???? Don’t go to these websites.
My Prayers are with this Family.
Obviously this site is not much better than this.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE IN A PUBLIC DOMAIN AS PUBLIC FIGURES!!!!!!!!
As a part of the Constitution, they have a right to be there!!!
http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

These pictures need to be taken down. Not cool.
Aw Jared. I love and respect your site, but these aren’t pictures that should be on the internet.
Re: #52 “whatever yo” concerning “hospital is public domain” …
Most hospitals have strict policies prohibiting pro-photographers from shooting on property without prior consent & supervision. This is to protect patient rights.
TAKE THESE PICTURES DOWN JARED
I love Travis Barker ! He is an awesome father who took in Atiana as his own! He’s a great person! Im so shocked about this accident. May god be at his side. My prayers go out to all the families of the crash. RIP for the 4 victims that died in the crash and for their family members.
Awwwwwwww . I just got chills :/ My thoughts are with mostly Travis’s two young children!!!
i hope he gets better ..as for her yeah this is a private matter..and is it only ME THAT NOTICED SHE WEARING A RING ON HER WEDDING FINGER?
I didn’t think people wore those shower caps anymore…
I realize you have every right to post these pictures, but it is so inappropriate and classless.
Please take these down and let this woman cope in peace.
How sad.
What’s even sadder, and just plain disgusting, is that there are paps out there making money by taking pictures of this woman while she’s grieving. Ich.
I’m with everyone who thinks these pictures are in really poor taste. No one wants to see the pain on this girl’s face and invade her privacy at that moment.
So sad. My heart and prayers go out to these guys!!
This is it for me…I will no longer visit justjared.com. These pix are highly inappropriate.
These seriously should be taken down. How disgusting.
i agree with people above… it disgusts me that personal moments like this that deal with tragedy and heartbreak seem to be gossip news… leave the poor woman alone…
My friend was badly burned and looking at that picture brought back those horrible memories. I was clueless as to what to expect. Didn’t understand why I had to cover myself etc. Once I walked in that room it took all my strength not to lose it. The morphine drip helped her deal with the pain but…she was in the same hospital as the people who were burned in the Seton Hall fire. Very sad. It’s a long hard recovery period.
YOU ARE DISGUSTING FOR SHOWING THESE PICTURES!! MY Gosh her Husband (even if he is ex) and the father of her children almost DIED!! It is going to be a long road to recovery I am sure. You are just beyond low to accept these pics from what ever low life piece of pond scum sold them to you… and then you are lower than them to POST there during such a horrific time in their life. DO YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE?? HOW ABOUT A SOUL? I hope you never have this happen to someone you love only to have your pictures of your devastation shared to the whole world!! But who would care about you!!
TAKE THESE PICTURES DOWN.
All the Constitution waving people please sit down. No one said anything about not having the right to publish pictures or whatever. Just because it is legal, does it make it right?????
I just think that Jared could have passed on this set of photos. Maybe used the space for well wishes to those in the hospital, and condol. to those that lost their lives in this event.
Not to mention the new life that was born just hours after their father died.
Yes, yes, yes………………we live in America, and anyone has the right to take a picture in a public place, yes, yes, yes.
BUT, there is also something called……..could, would, should ya really? I just think the answer is no.
TAKE THESE PICTURES DOWN
TAKE THESE PHOTOS DOWN NOW!!!!
“That’s a highly personal moment and they should be taken down.”
Do you know how things work with celebs? You can bet Shanna arranged for the paps to be there.
Take these down. I am disgusted that you would post such personal photos. Is nothing off limits? Is nothing sacred? You should be ashamed!
TAKE THESE PICS DOWN JARED!
THESE PICS ARE WAYYYY INTRUSIVE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WOULD EXPECT THIS FROM PEREZ BUT NOT YOU JARED.
THIS IS DISGUSTING.
My preys are with him, hopefully he will be ok soon
:(
Totally an invasion of privacy. Taking these pictures down would be the honorable thing to do.
I think jared posting those pics are horrible. And this is absolutely not the same as posting pictures of brit and lilo. First, those girls court the paps. Pics of brit in her backyard isn’t right either. Lilo getting tanked in a bar is fair game, she created that crappy situation. But jared is actually profitting off of this devastating tragedy, most hits to his site. Let Travis,Adam, and their families and friends heal and grieve in privacy. Respect their privacy, where is your humanity and compassion. Its kinda like kicking travis and his family when they are already down. Let them chose when to make this very private matter viewed by the public,if they ever do. Don’t force them. I for one am never visiting this site, even if the decision to take down those photos. There is nothing news worthy in posting those photos. And a line of integrity has definetly been crossed. We all are human and know this is absolutely devastating. Jared, your judgement on this matter is disgusting!! TAKE EM DOWN!
Take the pictures down. I cringed when I saw these. Any one with a heart knows that these are so wrong.
Wow…I have seen it all now. What a bunch of leeches and low lifes.
Must suck to have to stoop this low to make a living. Yuk
really inappropriate to post, i do hope you reconsider posting these and taking them down. don’t forget they also have two children who might be exposed to these photos.
You know…so many gossip site rip on Shanna, but it’s obvious the she and Travis have a bond, and can’t live without each other. She must really love him. I hope that after he heals from this tragedy, they both realize what is truly important in life, and make it work…for good. They have such a beautiful family. God Bless Travis, DJ AM…my prayers go out to them, and the families of those who died.
I do agree Jared….these pictures should be removed…it’s a very upsetting, personal time for the family. Let’s be a little more respectful please.
his tats are ruined tsk tsk tsk.
yeah. this is too much, extremely personal.
i usually enjoy this website because it doesn’t make up things about celebrities and blog about non-truths…these pictures of shanna are completely insensitive and unnecessary…suprising to find on justjared…
I think it’s disguting these photos are posted here. They’re not even on dlisted or perez. I’m over this site.
omg i hope travis gets better soon as well as dj am
my thoughts go out to there familys god bless them…
take this pictures off this is ****’d up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean its ok when your out shopping and they take pics of you but when its something like this come on have a little respect for them…!!!
i’lll keep travis and dj am in my prayers hope they get better soon and everything gets better they just have to have faith and hope and god by there side and everything will be alright…
sucks that the other 4 didnt make it..
my thoughts go out to them.
Those of you who kept going on and on about invasion of privacy. Hello? Just click that little “x” button at the top right corner of your browser.
Sheesh!!
Now I am affirmed, the papps are heartless ********! Shanna is obviously upset and these pricks are snapping pictures of her crying.
I do hope for a fast recovery for Travis and DJ AM. My sister was badly burned in a fire when she was 18 months old and she is 27 now, she still has some scarring from the fire. I know that it was painful for my sister so I pray for Travis and Adam during this horrible time.
RIP to those that lost their lives in the crash. Travis’ assistant is actually from my hometown, they did a whole story on the news about him. Really heartbreaking stuff.
why do you hv to post this up??
its really sad..
I think you shouldn’t post these kind of pics… it’s so personal and real that it’s disturbing… I feel sorry for them. :(
Shanna looks so sad, he must be doing not very good, i hope he gets better.
Shanna looks so sad, he must be doing not very good, i hope he gets better.
It disgusts me that these pictures were even taken. You should take them down. I have always loved your site because its not trashy like other celeb sites. You posting these photos is trashy and VERY wrong. People lost their lives. And the survivors lives will be forever altered. Its a tragedy. I’ll pray for the families and friends of all who were affected. Hopefully people will start to give them room to heal without putting a camera in their face all the time.
I hope they get well really soon. And these pics SHOULD be taken down…the last thing the lady needs are the paparazzi.
I feel so bad for everyone and my prayers are with them. I really like Trav and Shana together and always hoped that they would have stayed married. Their show on MTV really showed that they have a good connection.
FYI, These are a lil too close for comfort. Don’t necessarily like that these shots were taken.
Way to personal they should leave her alone dont take pictures of that .
JJ should take them down ASAP
You know we all like a bit of gossip to help us laugh and “get through the hum-drum” day(s), but I believe that this display pretty much crosses the line between celebs and the public’s “need” to know. This is a highly emotional, stressful and PRIVATE situation for those involved- we as the public should afford these ppl. (because that’s what they are ppl. like you and I before they are “celebs”) their privacy and their time to heal and get through this. I, for one am asking, very nicely that these pictures be taken off the site and to leave these families alone for as long as it takes for them to heal. Please, show some level of HUMAN DECENCY!
I agree with everyone else about these pictures of Shanna Moakler crying. This is a private moment for her and the paps should respect her privacy. jared should switch the picture with something else.
This is not the same JustJared website that the real Jared started. I believe he sold out, both literally and figuratively.
The only reason I’m posting is to be counted among those who protest this exploitation of someone’s worst nightmare.
Shame on you. This website is now on the level of Perez.
Jared, why?
So sad you just never know what life is going to throw at you
LIVE EVERY DAY EVERYONE!!!!
Jared, you’re a sh*t for posting these pictures. This is not journalism, it’s invasion of privacy. I hope you feel you spent your money well.
shame on whoever took these pictures and shame on you for posting them! what a devastating thing to go through, the families shouldn’t have to worry about being watched during this time…..
Out of respect for Shana and Travis’ family, please be human and remove these photos.
These pics are a big invasion of privacy. Some moments in a person’s life should be left alone for the sake of decency. How about some respect?!
It’s obvious your viewers are overwhelming requesting you take these pics down. You could have commented on her without posting those pics.
Disgusting. I have been a fan of jared’s since all you did was post mostly Angelina Stories. I think here goes the bookmark from my browser. I really thought you were a step above the crap bloggers like Perez, TMZ and others. You had class Jared. Now you are just a bottom feeder like the rest.
Those pics go beyond human decency….. The shower cap is to prevent infection to his burns. My heart breaks and I wish I could respect her by taking back the images and never having clicked onto them.
Take them down. Leave a commentary. Try to salvage what little respect you had.
Please take the photos off the website please!
I agree with the majority = don’t think these pics should be posted. It’s like her devastation is being used for entertainment.
Please take the photos off the website!
To Johanna and anyone else questioning why Shanna is there- she is the mother of his children and she LOVES him. These pictures are discusting. You are lucky that you aren’t dealing with probably the most important person in your life and your childrens’ lives in the state that Travis is in and will be in forever. The media has exploited these people for a long time and made Shana out to be a horrible person. I believe there is a LOT of love between them. I think he is lucky to have her. He will need her. I am praying for all of them.
Idiot johanna @ 09/22/2008 at 8:13 pm I feel so sorry for Travis and his children. I have mixed emotions about shanna being there. Everyone who knows these two knows that she’s a hanger on, and she’s a pain in the assss. As much as I feel that she’s deeply concerned, I can’t help but wonder if she’s going to try and control all his company and visitors. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
yeah, these aren’t pictures that should be on the internet. not cool!
take the photos off the website, please!
Really this should be taken down, it’s far too personal, she’s in the hospital not crying on the street. I know you seem like a good guy Jared, so just take them down.
JARED KEEP THE PICTURES UP! This is your blog.
To you people who don’t like the pictures, then why are you here? This is Jared’s blog, not yours.
My condolences to all the families involved. My heart goes out to the deceased families and as well as the two survivors families. May the Good Lord embrace you in this love.
I canNOT believe you posted those pics. Shame on you.
For those of you quoting the Amendment, we’re not saying it’s illegal, we’re saying it’s immoral. If you don’t feel the wrongness of these pics being posted, there is something very wrong with you.
ouch
he must be badly burned if she has her hair in the ’shower cap’ thing
prayers are with them, DJ A, and the victims and their families
Come on, this is WAY too private to post. This is anguish. You jerkface, now I have to delete your website.
I just don’t find these pictures that inappropriate - didn’t we see pictures of Britney Spears being strapped down in an ambulance during a breakdown? Try watching the news (earthquakes, tsunami, terrorist attacks) - you’ll see countless footage of people screaming in pain after due to trauma/loss, you’ll even see footage of the deceased (kids even). How would you feel if a picture of your child was printed in a magazine/newspaper as they lay dead amidst the debris after some sort of disaster? Where is the outrage for these images?
There is so much crap written about Shanna Moakler by commenters on blogs - at least these pictures will help people see that she is a human being and deserves a little respect and empathy.
take those pics down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
TAKE THEM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
