‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Vee Torres Says She Doesn’t Want to Exploit Her Daughter & Family on Social Media

Vee Torres wants to be the star of her social media, and says that she’s not down with exploiting her daughter, Vivi, and family members online.

The former Teen Mom 2 cast member– who’s married to and shares a daughter with Kail Lowry’s ex Jo Rivera— recently spoke with In Touch Weekly about her approach to content creation and what followers should expect when checking out her social media accounts.

“Honestly, this is my page,” she said. “Like, this is my space, and that’s something that I try and let people know. Like, [Jo] has his own Instagram. If he wants to post that he could post it. But this is like my space… everyone knows I’m married to [him].”

Vee– who hosted a podcast with Kail until recently, when the two had a falling out— told the outlet she aims to respect her social-media-shy family members, as well as protect her daughter from being exploited online.

“I also have to remember that it’s not just me, like I have a family, and I have people around me who don’t really, necessarily want to be on social media,” she told the outlet.

“I don’t want [my daughter Vivi] to grow up in the future and be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, like you had me all over your social media, and I didn’t really want that or anything,'” Vee said.

Still, Vivi regularly appears in posts with her mom, including sponsored posts. In a statement (reminiscent of Farrah Abraham and her infamous ‘Farrah Speak’), Vee offered her justification for featuring the nine-year-old online.

“And until this day I asked her, ‘Hey, do you want to do this video with me? Or do you mind if I post this?’ every single time because I don’t want her to feel like I’m, like, not exploiting her.”

(Based on Vee’s Instagram feed, Vivi is OK with her mom not not exploiting her.)

“I think I’m still working on the balance and, like, trying to figure out what exactly that is till this day, because I think there are times where you’re so used to sharing with people on social media because they become like a community,” Vee said. “They kind of become, like, part of you, where it’s, like, every day I’m excited to talk to these people and show them new things.”
