‘Creepy’ Travis Barker ridiculed for liking ‘thirst trap’ photos of son Landon’s girlfriend
Travis Barker received an online lashing after hitting “like” on “thirst trap” Instagram photos shared by his son Landon’s girlfriend — even though his son appeared in the post.
Skyla Sanders, 20, shared several vacation snaps on June 29 — including a sultry snap of herself posing in a bikini on a bed. The carousel also notably featured two photos of Landon, including a sweet selfie of the 21-year-old and Sanders.
After Travis, 49, gave his stamp of approval, netizens excoriated the Blink-182 drummer on Reddit.
One person weighed in on Barker’s “like,” saying it was “absolutely gross! he should definitely know better!!”
Sanders’ photo dump also included a snap of her in a black bodysuit and nylons.Instagram/@skylasanderss
Another wrote in a seemingly sarcastic tone, “That’s not creepy at all…”
“Yike ew gross,” a third wrote, while a fourth labeled the thumbs-up, “weird behavior 🙈”
“Have you seen the stuff he posts? This man has no shame,” claimed yet another person, while another Reddit user argued that “he can still look at the thirst trap without liking it.”
Others defended the rocker — who does not follow Sanders on the platform and appears to have only “liked” one previous post of Sanders’ which also included photos of Landon.
“His son is included in the photos on this post,” one person chimed in. “He’s [sic] comes off more as a parent who just likes whatever his kids/family posts. They all like each other’s photos. Yall reaching a bit with this one.”
Another wrote, “not saying he doesn’t check her because he probably does. But his son is in two of those photos.”
Sanders’ various other snaps included a pouty selfie and a mirror shot of her wearing a black bodysuit with nylons and stilettos.
