October is here, and that means Halloween season is in full swing! Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, known for their bold style and PDA-filled relationship, recently welcomed the spooky month with Halloween decorations that set social media on fire—but not in the way they might have hoped. Among the autumn-themed images Kourtney shared with her 224 million Instagram followers, it was one particular photo that left fans divided.
In a seemingly harmless carousel of pictures celebrating October, Kourtney included a shot of two inflatable skeletons, staged in a provocative position. While some fans saw the humor and embraced the quirky Halloween spirit, others were less than amused.
"As a Mother of Four…"
The backlash was swift, with many calling out the suggestive display. One commenter wrote, "As a mother of four kids, I find it disgusting you would do that to those inflatables." The comment tapped into a broader discussion of Kourtney’s role as a mom.
The reality star shares three kids—Mason (14), Penelope (12), and Reign (9)—with ex Scott Disick and recently welcomed a son, Rocky Thirteen, with her husband Travis. For some critics, the skeletons were more than just a spooky decoration. "What a way to decorate for the kids," wrote another follower, echoing the sentiment that the display might not be family-friendly.
This isn't the first time Kourtney has faced criticism for her choices. Some fans feel that her lifestyle and decisions since marrying Travis Barker, including their very public displays of affection (PDA), have shifted her image from a reserved mom of three to a bolder, more uninhibited version of herself.
Skeletons Spark Debate
But the skeleton debate didn't end there. One follower asked pointedly, "That skeleton position? Really?" while another chimed in with, "Nice role model." For some fans, it seemed that Kourtney had crossed a line, sparking concerns about how much was too much, especially in a family setting.
Of course, not everyone was offended. Some fans embraced the edgy humor of the skeleton scene. "Those skeletons tho," wrote one fan, adding laughing emojis to express the fun they saw in the situation. "It's the 6th one for me," another commented, highlighting how the image stood out among the fall-themed photos, which also featured wholesome moments like pumpkin decor, cider-making, and even a glimpse of Kourtney’s son, Rocky.
A PDA-Packed Love Story
This isn't the first time Kourtney has faced scrutiny for expressing her affection publicly. Since her relationship with Travis Barker began, their PDA-packed moments have been a frequent topic of conversation online. The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, haven't shied away from showing their love for each other in public. From passionate kisses to hand-holding, they’re unapologetically affectionate, even as fans debate how much is too much.
On her show, The Kardashians, Kourtney has addressed the topic head-on. "Kissing and hugging is not a bad thing," she said during an episode, "I’m actually grateful that my kids can see a loving and affectionate relationship because they haven’t seen that their whole lives." For Kourtney, it’s about setting a positive example for her children—showing them what a loving relationship looks like. But as the skeleton controversy shows, not everyone agrees with her approach.
Halloween Fun or Tasteless Display?
At the end of the day, Halloween is about fun and creativity, and everyone celebrates differently. But for celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, every decision—whether it's a festive skeleton display or a candid moment of PDA—is under the microscope. The couple’s suggestive Halloween decor has become the latest flashpoint in an ongoing conversation about celebrity, family, and public perception.
What do you think? Did Kourtney and Travis take their Halloween spirit too far, or is this just another example of social media overreacting? Let us know in the comments!
