Travis Barker found himself in the spotlight for his choice of attire.

The Blink-182 drummer made a statement with a unique t-shirt, which captured attention for depicting an alleged incident involving Sean Penn and Madonna.

Taking center stage in the TikTok video, Travis Barker nonchalantly discarded his son Rocky's soiled diaper into the waste bin.

Yet, it was the garment he wore that became the catalyst for controversy, as critics slammed him for supposedly promoting domestic violence.

Outraged supporters voiced their repulsion across various social media channels, denouncing Travis Barker's selection of shirt as "unsettling" and condemning him for trivializing "abuse."

Fans expressed disdain on various social media platforms, voicing their concerns about his choice. Some found it disconcerting to see him donning the controversial attire, while others accused him of trivializing serious issues related to abuse.

In a Reddit discussion, users strongly disapproved of a particular individual's behavior, highlighting their frustration with people who trivialize abuse and degradation.

"Seems Like Travis Barker Thinks Domestic Violence Is Fashionable," the title says.

One user raised the question sarcastically, wondering if it was all just a joke.

Meanwhile, another user looked at Kourtney Kardashian for her silence, expressing their embarrassment if they were in a similar situation.

Another user commented on the family's romantic choices, pointing out a pattern of getting involved with nasty individuals.

"I swear, all the women in this family get involved with the grossest, worst men."

The History of Sean Penn and Madonna

During the 1980s, Madonna's connection with Sean Penn took a sinister road, overshadowed by accusations of toxicity and aggression.

One particular event in 1989 alleged that Madonna was held captive by Sean. Surprisingly, Madonna testified in support of the actor when faced with a defamation lawsuit, strongly refuting the allegations.

Rumors circulated regarding Sean's supposed use of a baseball bat to inflict harm on Madonna, resulting in such grave injuries that she had to be hospitalized.

In 1988, he found himself entangled in a web of domestic assault charges stemming from the incident in question.

Taking responsibility for his actions, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, resulting in the ultimate demise of their tumultuous union one year later.

Amid the legal chaos that ensnared the domestic assault episode, the "Material Girl" made a conscious choice to refrain from pressing charges against Sean Penn.

While he already grappled with legal troubles stemming from a separate incident, Madonna's decision to forgo pursuing charges in this particular case added another layer of complexity to their tumultuous relationship.
