From getting called out, to getting back to the friendships that left you hit in the head with drumsticks, it’s been a busy week for the stars/former stars of the Teen Mom franchise! In an effort to bring you up-to-date on the latest Teen Mom Family Reunion, Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile.
Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…
Kail Lowry Gets Nothing (But Shade from Chris Lopez) For Mother’s Day
She may have four baby daddies, but former ‘Teen Mom 2′ star Kail said she got no love from them on Mother’s Day!
She did, however, get called out by her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez (whom she shares sons Creed and Lux with), after she complained on her podcast about the lack of acknowledgement she’s received from her plethora of baby daddies over the years.
“My kids’ dads don’t acknowledge me for Mother’s Day,” Kail said on the most-recent episode of her Coffee Convos podcast. “They haven’t acknowledged me for a long time.”
(We can assume that Kail was not addressing her current beau, Elijah Scott, with whom she shares three kids).
Kail admitted that she’s most disappointed in her second baby daddy Javi Marroquin (whom she shares son Lincoln with) for the lack of Mother’s Day love, stating that she and Javi currently get along well. (Kail and Chris have always had a very tumultuous relationship, and Kail recently revealed that she and her first baby daddy Jo Rivera currently “have no communication at all.”)
“I think I get more upset about Javi not doing [anything for me], just because we are very much co-parents through and through,” she said.
“We’re in a really good place, so I do get a little offended when he doesn’t [acknowledge me],” Kail added (after admitting she forgot to give Javi the gift she bought for him last Father’s Day). “Not even an email saying, ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ or ‘Happy Birthday.’ Like I don’t even get that.
“You don’t need to send [me] a gift but remember this is how Lincoln’s going to treat people when he gets older,” Kail said.
“So even sending me a ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ [message] in an email doesn’t really suffice, because you’re not teaching Lincoln anything because Lincoln doesn’t see the emails,” Kail said, adding that Javi should be showing Lincoln that, despite the fact that he and Kail are divorced, they still “work as a team” as co-parents.
Kail made it clear that she wasn’t trying to just shade Javi by calling him out. She then proceeded to call out most of the men she’s had babies with.
“Chris, you can hate me. Javi, you can hate me. Jo, you can hate me. But at the end of the day, you’re teaching your kids how to treat their future situation,” Kail said.
Chris did not take well to the public scolding he received from Kail on her podcast. In response, he took to Instagram to comment on a post about the podcast episode, calling Kail out in the process. Chris seemed to take particular offense to the statement Kail made about the dads’ (lack of) acknowledgment toward her having an effect on their kids’ future actions.
“How does a gift equate to treating people when they get older?” Chris wrote. “She buys gifts but treats people like s**t and property… It’s the nerve to get on these podcasts and portray an image for viewers and listeners but you DON’T even work as a team.”
Chris then switched and spoke directly to Elijah, advising him that he will likely have a tough road ahead with Kail.
“And for homeboy [Elijah] SMH, you’re in a terrible cycle,” Chris wrote. “You’ve been groomed from the start, love-bombed, I bet alienated from your family [and] put in a position of them or me. All that comes from this is pain. [Kail] will take from you until you have nothing left [f]or yourself and will discard you and be on to the next with no hesitation. Be safe playa…I’m gone.”
Kail has not responded to Chris’ comments.
