In a fiery post on her
MySpace Celebrity page,
Shanna Moakler slams ex
Travis Barker and his pals for claiming she
had a fling with Gerard Butler while the rocker was in the hospital.
"Just so there is no confusion or 'source' to attack my character, I am saying my side," she begins. "Travis and I were very much together in September when the
horrific [jet crash] happened. Not only did I fly to Georgia, I stayed by his side the entire stay and also for the bus ride home to L.A. I think any human being with a heart ... would do the same."

At the time, Moakler says "employees of my ex were writing comments on gossip networks like TMZ and
Perez Hilton , attacking me as a woman and a mother. I think those were more painful than the infidelities."

Despite all the drama, Moakler says she made sure Barker "had a strong support system in place with friends and family, and I made it clear to them why I would be dismissing myself."
She says she hoped in her "heart" she could "remain friends" with Barker, but never had any intentions of getting back together.

Moakler continues, "I have been attacked by my ex and his friends in the press for years at this point. I have never verbally bashed him as a father. In fact, MANY times I have had to bite my tongue and try to be the bigger person."
"I have tried to always put the lives and thoughts and feelings of my children first," she adds. "I am by no means an angel, and I have made many mistakes, but a woman can only turn her cheek so many times."

Moakler says the whole ordeal is "sad and I wish it had been left behind closed doors. I am a human being and the bashing has taken its toll. Hope you're all happy."
