AceShowbiz - After enduring the devastating loss of her parents within seven months of each other, Shanna Moakler found solace in unhealthy coping mechanisms. She began overeating and drinking excessively, leading her into a downward spiral. However, amidst the darkness, she found hope in Mounjaro, an FDA-approved drug used for weight loss.
Moakler admits that she took the medication to "eat away the pain," but it ultimately helped her regain a sense of well-being. While she remains critical of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who she believes contributed to her relationship struggles with ex-husband Travis Barker, she insists that she no longer cares about the past.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Moakler believes in love and marriage. She hopes to find a partner who is kind, faithful, and communicates effectively. Although she acknowledges similarities between her exes Oscar De La Hoya and Travis Barker, she is determined to break free from the pattern of falling for driven and famous men.
Moakler is prioritizing her own healing and growth, focusing on meditation, journaling, and pursuing creative ventures. She has overcome the stereotypes of being a "dumb blonde" and now embraces her intelligence and substance.
While acknowledging the impact of reality TV on her public image, Moakler maintains a strong relationship with her children and insists that she has always been present in their lives. She regrets the sacrifices she made for her ex-husbands and vows to prioritize her own self-worth in the future.
