As Alabama Barker’s feud with Bhad Bhabie, a.k.a. Danielle Bregoli and the “Cash Me Outside” girl, continues to heat up and drag more bystanders into the fray, a source exclusively tells In Touch the drama is causing major tension between dad Travis Barker and stepmom Kourtney Kardashian, as they try to deal with the situation as calmly and maturely as possible despite it quickly getting out of hand.
“This is a huge source of stress for them as a couple,” the insider says. “They’re both upset and worried about Alabama and now on top of that, Kourtney’s hit the roof because Rocky and Reign have both gotten dragged into the negativity.”
The eldest Kardashian sister, 46, was left “livid” after discovering son Reign, 10, appeared on Instagram live alongside Alabama’s boyfriend and ended up discussing an outlandish rumor that his real father is Justin Bieber.
“Kourtney doesn’t like when Reign is online and would rather him not talk about anything that happens with the family or answer random rumors,” a different source told Daily Mail.
The first source confirms to In Touch that Kourtney’s “very upset and she is making sure everyone knows it.”
To make matters worse, in addition to Reign’s social media appearance, Bhad Bhabie’s mom, Barbara, dragged Kourtney, 45, and her husband’s year-old son, Rocky, into the nasty fray after Alabama, 19, brought up Bhabie’s baby, Kali, in a diss track. Barbara dubbed her a “little dirty ass hoe” that was “still talking about my granddaughter yet her daddy has a whole new family. Rocky rules while you’re just on your knees,” in a separate post.
“Rocky’s a baby and he’s already getting trash talked in public thanks to Alabama having this toxic feud,” the source says, “and now thanks to Alabama’s boyfriend, Reign has had to answer questions from random strangers on the internet about whether Justin Bieber is his dad, it’s absolutely horrifying.”
Even though, “It’s a very touchy situation because Travis is extremely protective of Alabama,” the insider explains Kourtney is no longer putting up with her family being dragged into the fight. “Up until recently, Kourtney was biting her tongue and trying to mostly stay out of it and let Travis take charge, but she’s too upset to stay quiet now and wants to start making some rules and laying down the law.”
A second source previously dished to In Touch that the stakes are real for the Kardashians, who are now being targeted by Bhabie, as she was once tight with Travis’ daughter and likely close to any sordid secrets. “Alabama has been around the family for years now and privy to all sorts of things they do not want to have blasted around, and the fact is there’s really no way to know exactly what she shared with Bhad Bhabie back when they were best friends and hanging around together all the time. She could really be a liability.”
The first source adds that as Kourtney prepares to put her foot down, “You can bet that won’t go over well with Alabama,” and “everyone is predicting fireworks.”
