Travis Barker's daughter, Alabama, is setting the record straight following reports she was recently hospitalized for nicotine withdrawal.
"I just want to clarify that I was not in the hospital this month or last. The situation occurred some time ago," Alabama, the 19-year-old daughter of Travis Barker, 49, and ex Shanna Moakler, wrote in a now-deleted Instagram Stories post. "And I was there for about three hours before being discharged."
"They provided me with a nicotine patch and an inhaler, and that's all," Alabama continued. "Let's please avoid spreading any rumors and focus on moving forward. Thank you."
