Catelynn and Tyler have been very (very) outspoken about their unhappiness with Brandon and Teresa Davis, the parents of their biological daughter Carly who cut off contact with them last year. However, the ‘Teen Mom’ stars recently turned their unhappiness toward some of the show’s fans, who have been circulating a current photo of Carly around The Interwebs.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Brandon and Teresa have been very protective of Carly’s image, forbidding Ty and Cate (and MTV) from posting any recent photos of the now-15-year-old. Aside from one incident, Tyler and Catelynn have respected Brandon and Teresa’s wishes and refrained from ever posting photos of Carly’s face on social media. (All photos that the couple have posted since Carly was a toddler have only showed Carly from behind.)
Unfortunately, a current pic of Carly still hit the Internet, and was recently posted all over the online ‘Teen Mom’ Universe. In the photo— which The Ashley is not posting– Carly is seen smiling next to her mom, Teresa.
Cate and Ty acknowledged that the photo is real, but slammed fans (and cast members who posted the pic as clickbait) who have been reposting it despite knowing that Brandon and Teresa have asked that Carly’s image be kept private.
Catelynn wrote a message about the pic on Instagram Stories, and the message was reposted by Tyler.
“The irony here is that the same pages & people who continuously bash me & Ty for just speaking about our adoption publicly are now spreading an actual picture of her publicly,” she wrote. “The hypocrisy is literally insane to me.”
During a TikTok Live session on Monday night, Catelynn’s little brother Nick gave his thoughts on fans choosing to circulate the photo against Carly’s parents’ wishes.
“I think the Carly picture [being posted] was very disrespectful,” he said. “She’s a minor and she has no say so.”
He encouraged fans to stop spreading the photo around.
“If you guys see it, please don’t post it,” he said. “If you see the picture don’t interact with it, and try to ignore it. She’s a minor. She’s just a kid.”
