Alabama Barker, the 20-year-old influencer and stepdaughter of Kourtney Kardashian, has once again set social media alight, this time with a series of sultry lingerie photographs. The bold display comes just days after she faced significant online criticism for revealing the extravagant Christmas gifts she received from her father, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
Controversy Over a Lavish £200K Christmas Haul
The initial uproar began when Alabama posted a nearly nine-minute TikTok video, walking followers through her staggering holiday 'haul'. The collection of designer items, including handbags, shoes, and diamond jewellery, was estimated to be worth a jaw-dropping £200,000.
Among the most talked-about gifts were over ten pairs of high-end shoes and multiple luxury handbags. A highlight was a pink Hermès Birkin bag from stepmother Kourtney Kardashian, valued at over £20,000 alone. She also received gifts from other Kardashian-Jenner family members, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and a Chanel bag and Chrome Hearts duffel from a man she implied she was dating.
However, the gift that sparked the most intense backlash was lingerie from the upmarket brand Agent Provocateur, which Alabama revealed was from her father. Facing a wave of comments calling the present 'inappropriate' and 'odd', she later clarified that Kourtney had selected most of the intimate items, which were on her Christmas wish list. Despite her explanation, the controversy raged on, leading Alabama to lash out at followers and threaten to stop sharing such hauls altogether.
A Defiant Response in Black Lingerie
This week, Alabama appeared utterly unfazed by the continuing debate. Taking to social media, she shared a series of provocative snaps of herself in black bondage-style lingerie, striking confident poses. With her platinum blonde hair slicked back, she captioned the images 'ImSoMovingOn', a clear signal she was putting the gift drama behind her.
The daring photos, which showcased her figure in the minimal, strap-heavy set, quickly reignited conversation online. While some fans praised her confidence and style, the display served as a defiant bookend to the Christmas controversy that had dominated her social media feeds.
Public Reaction: 'Tone Deaf' or Simply Lavish?
The reaction to Alabama's original Christmas video was sharply divided. While some admired her 'good taste', many social media users accused the influencer of being 'tone deaf' and 'disconnected from reality', particularly during a cost-of-living crisis.
Comments flooded in pointing out the stark contrast between her six-figure gift pile and the struggles of ordinary people. One TikTok user remarked they 'could've bought a house with all these items', while another noted, 'there's people that literally can't afford to eat...'. Others focused squarely on the lingerie gift, with users on X (formerly Twitter) questioning why her father would purchase such items, even if selected by Kourtney.
This is not the first year Travis Barker has gifted his daughter extravagantly; the previous year, he spent over £80,000 on luxury items for her. Alabama, who is an aspiring rapper and shares father Travis with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, continues to navigate life in the spotlight, where her every post and purchase is scrutinised by millions.
