Alabama Barker is speaking out following rumors that she was hospitalized for nicotine withdrawal.
The 19-year-old daughter of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday after the report on Monday, which claimed she was “recently” sent to the hospital after she stopped vaping.
Alabama said she wanted to “clarify” details about the timeline of her hospitalization.
“Hello everyone, I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last,” the “Vogue” rapper wrote.
“The situation occurred some time ago, and I was there for about three hours before being discharged.”
She added, “They provided me with a nicotine patch and an inhaler, and that’s all.”
Alabama concluded, “Let’s please avoid spreading any rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you[.]”
TMZ reported on Monday that Alabama’s nicotine withdrawal “recently saw her rushed to an L.A.-area hospital.” The outlet added that the celebrity scion called 911 after she felt unwell and began to panic while alone.
As The Post reported, it was unclear when the hospitalization occurred.
In her Instagram Story posted on Tuesday, Alabama did not reveal when she quit vaping.
TMZ described Alabama as previously being only an occasional vape smoker, adding that she stopped one month ago after individuals in the music industry told the aspiring rapper that vaping could damage her voice.
Alabama released her first music video on Dec. 13. The video, for her track “Vogue,” featured cameos from her famous dad and her stepmom, Kourtney Kardashian-Barker.
Also a thriving social media star, Alabama shared a TikTok video on Dec. 27 revealing to her fans that she recently had the flu.
“I have had the flu, and I’ve not been okay,” she said, adding that she “didn’t get to enjoy [my birthday] because I was so sick but I am back on my feet.”
