Shanna Moakler has responded to Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding by deciding to auction off her previous engagement ring.
Shanna Moakler Auctions Off Her Engagement Ring Following Travis Barker And Kourtney Kardashian’s Wedding-‘That Chapter Of My Life Is Over’
Shanna, for her part, was married to Travis for around four years. And during the course of that process, they managed to raise two children together: Landon and Alabama.
However, things did not end well as Shanna accused Travis and Kourtney of hooking up together during their marriage. As such, reports state that Shanna has begun the auction for her 4-carat diamond ring at $51,000.
And with Travis now having fully moved on, there was no better time for her to get rid of those previous memories. In an interview with Us Weekly, Shanna said: “I think it is a beautiful piece and truly was my dream ring.
“However, that chapter of my life is over and even though wearing it at one time brought me great joy, I hope it will find a new home and continue to bring someone as much happiness as it once did to me.” While there is no denying that Shanna’s comments have credibility, the timing of this incident raises a few questions.
First of all, she had split up from Travis in 2008. Therefore, there is the obvious question of why did she not sell the engagement ring at some point after that rather than waiting so long even if they were on and off during that period.
Secondly, now that she has put it up for sale, why did the news of this coincide with Travis’ wedding? And in any event, was there really a need to publicize this to the public.
This is precisely the sentiment that was being expressed on social media. A certain subset of people could not understand why it took her so long to get rid of this. One person wrote: “Why now….?? Was she expecting to get back together?”
Hopefully, for all her troubles, Shanna can pocket a nice amount of money to soften that blow. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
