The Reason Meet The Barkers Ended

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's rocky relationship began its decline the second they agreed to do a reality show.

Even before the show, the two had a tumultuous time together. But according to Barker and Moakler, the show only made things worse. "I think the show destroyed our relationship," Moakler wrote in Travis Barker's memoir, "Can I Say, Barker," per Radar Online. "I think he was afraid he was going to be looked on as a reality star. So when the cameras stopped rolling, he distanced himself from me in every way that he possibly could."

While Barker believes the reality show didn't change him, he thought it changed his wife. "I felt like having a reality show changed Shanna's character. Shanna wanted to be an actress," Barker revealed, adding that he believed Moakler began doing things just for the cameras. "It was turning into a variety show instead of a reality show — and in my mind, she was behaving out of character on camera, which was carrying over to her not being genuine with me." From there, Barker explained that the two decided to end the reality show as it was "toxic" for their relationship. According to Us Weekly, not long after they put an end to the show, Barker filed for divorce.
