Travis Barker has been slammed for liking a risque Instagram post shared by his son Landon Barker'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.
