Travis Barker slammed for liking bikini-clad 'thirst trap' pictures of his son's girlfriend
Skyla Sanders recently shared a photo dump featuring several casual images - including a few alongside 21-year-old Landon - with a simple caption of an anchor emoji.
However, what drew attention was the first image in the carousel: a photo of 19-year-old Skyla posing playfully on a bed wearing a skimpy bikini.
Skyla and Landon have reportedly been dating for several months and are frequently seen together at public events and on social media.
Her account includes numerous photos of the couple, and Landon often comments on and likes her posts.
While it is unclear how much personal interaction Travis Barker, 48, has with Skyla, the recent social media engagement was enough to trigger online controversy.
After Travis liked the post, some social media users voiced discomfort, with a Reddit thread quickly gaining attention.
'I literally yelled ewww,' one user shared.
'That's not creepy at all…' another sarcastically added.
'This would make me uncomfortable,' someone else wrote, in part, as others branded it as 'gross.'
Others, however, defended Barker, arguing that his intention may have been to support his son, who featured in two of the pictures included in the upload.
One argued: 'His son is included in the photos on this post. He's comes off more as a parent who just likes whatever his kids/family posts.
'They all like each other's photos. Y'all reaching a bit with this one.'
Another wrote: 'He will like every single post he ever sees.'
And it's not just Travis himself who has gotten side-eyed by the public for his interactions with family on Instagram.
Earlier this year, Travis's 18-year-old daughter, Alabama Barker, also received backlash after posting a provocative photo in a sheer black lace dress with the caption: 'Bro said he can't wait to see Alabama like Travis Barker.'
Many fans were disturbed by the reference to her father, and the post fueled further scrutiny of how the Barker family engages with each other online.
In recent years, Travis's personal life has been under a microscope, especially since marrying Kourtney Kardashian in 2022.
While the couple frequently shows off their relationship on social media - including their blended family dynamics - critics have often called out their highly public affection and family-related posts.
The couple is no stranger to controversy - especially when it comes to Barker's behavior and comments.
In his 2015 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums, Barker admitted he found Kim Kardashian 'f**king hot' and referred to her as 'eye candy,' saying he 'kept on secretly checking out Kim,' despite not pursuing anything romantically.
Speculation grew that those past feelings might have contributed to the tension Kim and Kourtney had on their show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but Barker has publicly called the rumors 'ridiculous.'
He said that his comments were simply reflections and that nothing inappropriate ever occurred.
Kim herself denied any romantic involvement, stating they were longtime friends and that the rumors were false.

Chris Hughes told me how he used old-fashioned trick to make JoJo his girlfriend & revealed exact moment he fell in love
Kelly Allen was the first journalist to interview Chris about how he'd fallen for JoJo... and revealed their relationship secrets LOVED UP Chris Hughes told me how he used old-fashioned trick to make JoJo his girlfriend & revealed exact moment he fell in love ANYONE who has watched an episode of Love Island will know that dating in the modern world is complicated. From using dating apps to 'seeing each other' then going exclusive, to finally being boyfriend and girlfriend, it's a wonder how anyone gets into a relationship. 7 Chris Hughes revealed the surprising old-fashioned trick he used to take his friendship with JoJo Siwa to the next level Credit: Instagram/Chris Hughes 7 The Sun's Kelly with the celeb couple But we can reveal that Chris Hughes used a surprising old-fashioned trick to turn his friendship with JoJo Siwa into something more serious. I was the first journalist to interview Chris about how he'd fallen for JoJo - and he revealed he took inspiration from William Shakespeare to woo her. The 32-year-old put pen to paper and declared his love in writing. He told me: 'I was confused about how I felt. Then I wasn't confused anymore. I knew I needed to write it down to explain to her how I was feeling.' Perhaps it's because the horse racing commentator previously appeared on the ITV2 dating show Love Island in 2017, finishing third with then-girlfriend Olivia Attwood, that he'd had enough of the confusing modern way of dating - leading him to use more traditional methods to get the girl. The pair were thrown together while both appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in April. Having never met before, Chris, who lives in Ascot, formed an immediate bond with the 22-year-old Californian-based dancer. They both insisted it was purely platonic, especially since bisexual JoJo was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary. After she dumped the 27-year-old Australian actor at the Celebrity Big Brother finale party, speculation intensified about how they felt about each other. Chris and JoJo initially remained coy but after transatlantic trips to see each other, the pair took it up a level. Chris Hughes reveals baby plans with JoJo Siwa as 'besotted' hunk gushes over new love After much speculation about what was REALLY going on with them, they hard launched as a couple after Chris flew out to Mexico City, then onto Orlando to surprise her for her birthday. Chris explained: 'I went to Florida thinking 'I really like this person', but I was slightly confused about the feelings. I had already written her birthday card before I flew over. I took all these presents over for her. They were fun and sentimental gifts rather than anything of monetary value. 'But the night before her birthday, I realised my feelings had changed. I told her: 'I've got to go do something. I'll be back in half an hour.' 'I went to the hotel reception and borrowed a pen and came back up to the room. 'I took the card and opened it because I had to redo it. I sat in the toilet on my own and I rewrote the card. I knew my feelings had changed, and there was so much more that I needed to say than what I originally put in the birthday card. I wasn't confused anymore, and I knew what my heart was saying, and I wanted to tell her.' 7 Chris calls JoJo by her full name Joelle Credit: Instagram 7 The couple have been sickeningly loved-up since appearing on CBB together Credit: Instagram 7 The couple faced much speculation from fans while in the house together Credit: ITV Since then, the couple, who are having a transatlantic relationship, have been sickeningly loved up and constantly jetting back and forth to spend time with each other. MADLY IN LOVE Speaking about falling in love with JoJo, who he calls by her full name Joelle, he said: 'Some of the best relationships start as friendships. I look back at the CBB clips and could see how we gravitated towards each other. "We just wanted to be there for each other in the house. I adored the ground she walked on and the way she handled herself. How can you not love her? But it was as a friend. 'Then, towards the end of the show, I was confused about my feelings for her. And you don't know what it's going to be like on the outside. I was saying to myself: 'Come on, Chris, pull yourself together.' 'We were just friends at that stage, but we were talking all the time. I was missing her, and I felt like I needed to see her, so I flew to Mexico City to surprise her. "I was so nervous, even though I'd lived with her for three weeks. Then we ended up going to Orlando and I met her family – it was the best three days of my life. "From the minute I woke up until I went to bed, I was just so happy. It was at that moment something fully ignited inside me. "I went: 'God, I really like this person', and I knew she reciprocated it.' 7 JoJo dumped Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary, at the CBB finale party Credit: Getty 7 Chris appeared on Love Island in 2017, finishing third with then girlfriend Olivia Attwood Credit: Rex Features And despite now being officially boyfriend and girlfriend and sharing constant loved-up snaps together on Instagram, the adorable old school way of communicating continues.

It gives me something to do. So when I'm at home alone, I'll get my little pad out.'

Egg yolks, horse sex and necrophile nuns: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights confirmed as ‘unconventional'
Equal parts intrigue and scepticism had already dogged the forthcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights from Emerald Fennell – whose first two films, Promising Young Woman and Saltburn, displayed a love of mordant and explicit envelope-pushing. As reported by World of Reel, a first test screening for the film, which stars Margot Robbie and Saltburn's Jacob Elordi, took place earlier this week in Dallas, and audience reaction was 'mixed'. One attender described the film as 'aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive' and suggested it strongly recalled the 'stylised depravity' of Saltburn with scenes of 'clinical masturbation', a bondage-tinged sexual encounter involving horse reins and less conventional romance or emotional complexity than many aficionados of Emily Brontë's novel might expect. The film apparently opens with a public hanging in which the 'condemned man ejaculates mid-execution'. The crowd react orgiastically, and a nun 'fondles the corpse's visible erection'. Other signature Fennell shots include lingering takes of 'suggestive textures' such as egg yolks, bread dough and slug trails. Earlier this year the film's casting director, Kharmel Cochrane, defended her choices after many suggested Robbie was too old to play the role of Catherine Earnshaw, as well as questioning Elordi's ethnicity, since Heathcliff, the foundling with whom she falls in love, is generally perceived to have a Romany or Gypsy background. Most big and small screen adaptations of the novel have ignored this, with the character having been played by actors including Ralph Fiennes, Tom Hardy and Timothy Dalton. Andrea Arnold's 2011 adaptation cast a mixed race actor, James Howson, in the role. Speaking at the Sands film festival in Scotland, Cochrane said there was 'no need to be accurate' as the source material is 'just a book'. She continued: 'There's definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy. Wait until you see the set design, because that is even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog collar in it.' The film, which is scheduled for release on Valentine's Day 2026, will be Robbie's first major role since Barbie and Fennell's first film since Saltburn became an audience sensation in 2023, although it underperformed with awards bodies. World of Reel quotes another attender of the Dallas screening as saying that despite strong leading performances, Fennell's take on their characters is sufficiently 'cold and unlikable' that engagement with their fates is made difficult.
