Oscar De La Hoya's Fearful Decision: Letting Travis Barker Step in for Daughter Atiana

Former professional boxer Oscar De La Hoya revealed on the "Allison Interviews" podcast that he "ran away" from raising his daughter, Atiana, due to fear and feeling unworthy of love. De La Hoya explained that his own childhood trauma, including a lack of love and physical abuse, contributed to his feelings of inadequacy. While he was not the main father figure in Atiana's life, he expressed his love for her and praised Travis Barker, his ex-wife's husband, for his role in raising her. De La Hoya and his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, split a year after welcoming Atiana in 1999, and Moakler went on to marry Barker in 2004.
