Travis Barker destroys an expensive couch
Travis caused a stir on Instagram with two photos. Sporting black attire from head to toe, he held an electric saw, ready to unleash chaos upon an unsuspecting couch. The couch, in perfectly fine condition and undoubtedly expensive, fell victim to Travis' destructive hands. Its once-comfortable existence was slashed in half, rendering it utterly useless with oozing poly filling. This unconventional photoshoot was done for Lovesac, an American furniture retailer renowned for its innovative modular furniture system called Sactionals. Travis captioned the pic with the brand's tagline, "Re-writing the rules." However, this bold move didn't sit well with some fans, who questioned the nobility of destroying an expensive couch when there are homeless people in desperate need. Travis' Instagram escapade left an impression, but not necessarily a positive one. By sharing this photo shoot, he failed to set a good example or influence people in a positive way. The couch may be in ruins, but the controversy it sparked lingers on.
'How silly when people are struggling !!!'
The Instagram comments poured in, expressing disappointment and disbelief at Travis' actions. One user pointed out, tagging Travis in the comment "@travisbarker … you could’ve donated the sofa so many shelters they are in the area where you live, that could have been a good way of rewriting the rules plus be an example to many persons … including myself … peace out ✌️" Another follower commented, "I would have taken that couch. You didn’t need to saw it in half, lol." The criticism continued as another commenter questioned, "Just donate to someone then doing that???😮" while someone else added, "Some people couldn't afford that couch second hand so what you've posted is in poor taste tut tut."
One another user also expressed the wish to keep the couch for himself, and added, "Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good couch like that ?? I would have loved it in my house…." The sentiment was clear: Travis had squandered a perfectly good, expensive couch and left many longing for it. These comments shed light on the disappointment of fans who expected better from Travis, who seemed ungrateful for his wealth and privilege. By needlessly destroying a functional couch, he missed an opportunity to set a positive example. The reactions echoed a common sentiment that he had wasted something valuable and failed to consider those who could have benefited from it. In their candid remarks, the fans revealed their genuine disappointment, questioning Travis' actions and highlighting the missed chance to make a meaningful difference.
