Shanna Moakler announced her memoir 'Blink of an Eye', prompting criticism over apparent reference to Travis Barker

Shanna Moakler has announced the title of her upcoming memoir, Blink of an Eye, prompting criticism from some fans over its apparent reference to her ex-husband Travis Barker's band, Blink-182.

The 51-year-old model introduced the book on social media, explaining the meaning behind its title.

"Life can change, in the 'Blink of an Eye,'" Moakler said. "Hopefully my reality, reinvention and surviving some rough waters can make your journey a little easier."

She said the memoir would cover her life from childhood through motherhood and co-parenting in the public eye.

"From a small child with big dreams, to co-parenting my children in today's celeb-obsessed climate... I'm self-publishing my memoir, my way. And hopefully the lessons I've learned will help light the way!" she added.

Moakler also stressed that the book would not focus exclusively on her former marriage.

She said it was "not about one person or one chapter of a life," instead describing the memoir as a celebration of the women in her life.

"I'm excited. I'm working hard. But mostly, I'm ready to share my story. With insight, support and love to girls and moms everywhere," she wrote.

Moakler had previously indicated that the memoir would be titled Queen Risen. The change to Blink of an Eye drew comments from fans, with some directly connecting the title to Barker, who rose to fame as the drummer of Blink-182.

"Blink, really? girl move on lol," one person commented, while another wrote, "Why are you here?"

Moakler and Barker were married from October 2004 until February 2008. The former couple attempted to rekindle their relationship several times after their divorce and share two children, son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20.

Barker married Kourtney Kardashian in 2022. Moakler has previously indicated that she planned to discuss the reported tension between herself and Kardashian in her memoir.

"In due time, I'll be sharing my story in my own words through my book, and I'm looking forward to that," she previously told the Daily Mail.
