Shanna Moakler is back in the spotlight. The former Miss USA, 50, posted two shots to Instagram on Friday, wearing a zebra-print one-piece with a tasseled side wrap. Hair down, eyes smoked, lips pale pink — the look was calculated and deliberate.
“It’s no better to be safe than sorry,” she wrote in the caption, tagging Fashion Nova for the swimwear.
Fans filled the comments with fire emojis and praise. The post comes roughly a year after Moakler revealed she’d lost weight using Mounjaro, the GLP-1 drug making headlines in Hollywood.
Speaking to People last June, Moakler said the decision came after a brutal 2023, when she lost both parents within seven months. “I was in a very dark place,” she said. “I stopped dieting. I stopped exercising. I just ate like s—. I missed my f—ing mom and dad.”
The former Playboy Playmate — who shares two adult children, Landon, 21, and Alabama, 19, with ex-husband Travis Barker — said the grief was compounded by paparazzi questions about Barker’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, during her pregnancy complications. “It was on another level. I didn’t know how to deal with it,” she said.
Moakler didn’t share the exact amount of weight lost but said she feels more like herself now. “I don’t think anyone has a clue who I am,” she said. “I’m more than the ex-wife of famous men. I was Miss USA at 19. I’m smart. I’ve worked my f—ing ass off for everything I’ve ever done.”
She was married to Barker from 2004 to 2008 and was previously engaged to boxer Oscar De La Hoya, with whom she shares daughter Atiana, 26.
