It's not rare for reality stars to grow close with their producers, but did Kailyn and her producer get TOO close? Here's why fans think there's something fishy going on.
Although it’s easy to follow the Teen Mom cast members’ lives just by tuning into the show, there’s still a lot that takes place behind the scenes. Many of the stars have spoken out about the inner workings of the show in the past, but is Kailyn Lowry revealing what went down between her and a producer?
Keep reading to watch a video about the producer!
Teen Mom has been on the air for nearly a decade now, which means that it’s had a large amount of time to develop as the cast members themselves grow and change. But when Teen Mom OG was airing, there was a significant stall in production: one of the main cast members, Amber Portwood, was arrested.
We all know how the story goes: Amber managed to clean up her act, and now she’s busy parenting her second child. But at the time, Teen Mom OG was put on hold until she was released. When she got out of prison, there was one major change to the show: the producers were allowed to be filmed.
This altercation allowed fans to see what really goes on behind-the-scenes of the show. Now, viewers understand how producers ask pointed questions and interact with the stars in order to get the juiciest parts of their lives to surface. The Teen Mom stars have complained about the process a lot, but many of them have become very close with their producers. In fact, during her time as a Teen Mom star, Farrah Abraham consistently referred to one of her, Heather, producers as her sister. And Jenelle Evans’ mother Barbara still considers her producer, Kristen, to be her best friend.
As for Kailyn Lowry, she seems to have a relatively good relationship with her producers, even though she adamantly refuses to film some times and lets her temper get out of control at other times. Her producer this season was a man named J. C., who Kailyn seemed to have an open and good rapport with. But recently, she got an entirely new producer for her time on the show. Now, she’s explaining why that is.

Now, she’s explaining why that is.
Some guessed as to the reason. “I bet. He probably got tired of Kail’s f*cking attitude,” wrote CatBoudreaux504. But htxcountrymuffin had another theory: “[Kailyn and J.C.] totally f*cked,” they wrote. They added, “And if it’s not that it something like Kail wanted to f*ck, but JC didn’t, so out he goes.” User spookyookydoo wrote, “Yeah. I can see a very flirtatious relationship, and him wanting to pursue it further to s3x and she said no.”
Not everyone agreed with this theory. Catboudreaux504 wrote, “I doubt it. Do you really think after watching Kail all of these years that he would want to [sleep with her]? She’s obnoxious and gets pregnant instantly. I’m just sayin.”
However, there is one major reason that this theory doesn’t quite hold up: Kailyn recently got back together with her baby daddy, Chris Lopez!
Kailyn Lowry’s relationship with Chris Lopez has been complicated from the very beginning. After all, when she revealed that she was pregnant, she held off revealing her baby daddy’s identity for as long as possible. Despite her best attempts to keep their relationship under wraps, the truth came out eventually — but that was just the beginning of the drama.
Kailyn never confirmed why she did so much to keep Chris’ identity a secret, but she dropped some major hints. During one episode, she said he wouldn’t appear on camera so that his “other hoes” wouldn’t find out that he was with her. But the water got murkier from there. Although Kailyn went on to reveal that Chris cheated on her throughout her entire pregnancy, many fans believe that Kailyn may have been the “side chick” herself, and that Chris cheated on his girlfriend with her!
Since their split, things didn’t get any better. Chris threatened to not show up for Lux’s birth in the hospital, and when he finally did, he refused to sign paternity papers confirming that he was Lux’s father. And now that Teen Mom is airing what went down between them, we’ve discovered that Chris filed for emergency cusody of Lux soon after his birth!
Needless to say, Kailyn wasn’t happy with his actions. “I haven’t talked to him in two months, and he hasn’t asked to see his son,” Kailyn said on the show. “Chris said him not having contact with the baby is detrimental to the baby and will cause harm by him not knowing his father. Mind you, he didn’t sign the birth certificate, he didn’t want me to file for custody or child support, but then he turned around and filed for custody.”
Kailyn was able to see things from Chris’s point of view, but she was still conflicted about the custody. “Every child needs their father and I don’t have the right to take Chris away from his son,” she confessed. “But at the same time the baby is four months old. Nobody knows what’s best for this baby more than me.”
After attending court, Kailyn revealed the outcome of the battle. Chris was granted supervised visits for the four weeks, at which his aunt had to be present. But she still wasn’t happy with this!
“Why can’t the person who supervises the visits be a neutral party?” she said. “I don’t trust his family to be there. I got what I wanted for Lux, but I’m upset still. There is no winning. Lux still loses because he won’t have both of his parents.”
To say that there’s tension between Kailyn and Chris might be the understatement of the century… but were they able to work past it and figure things out? Kailyn recently dropped a bombshell that seems to hint that she and her baby daddy have worked it out.
“Hiiiiii followers,” she wrote. “So i was going to have a coco theme party for lux but Chris & i decided to change it last minute. I have a ton of fiesta/coco theme birthday stuff unopened & unused. If you could use it tweet me!”
Fans believed that Kailyn could be dropping a major hint that she and Chris are spending time together… and maybe doing a bit of bragging.
“Hiiiiii CHRIS AND I’s followers. So CHRIS AND I were going to have a coco theme party for lux, CHRIS AND I’s son, but CHRIS AND I decided to change it last minute. CHRIS AND I have a ton of fiesta/coco theme birthday stuff unopened & unused by CHRIS AND I. If you could use it instead of CHRIS AND I tweet CHRIS AND I!” joked grindinformyson on reddit. User mollybrooke95 theorized, “I’d bet money she posted this ONLY to mention her & Chris talking & getting along. There’s no way she gives a f*ck about giving away the stuff she doesn’t need.”
“She needs to stop trying to make Chris and her happen. I’m not convinced he’s suddenly in love with her. This smells of a desperate woman,” chimed in slowdancequeen. “Attention seeking at it’s finest,” agreed nextotherone. “Like d*mn girl, just save it til the school year and give it to a parent you know. There’s no reason to put this sh*t on twitter - besides mentioning Chris. Hard eye roll!”
But this isn’t the only reason that fans think she and Chris have worked things out.
Remember Kailyn’s friend Bone? It’s pretty hard to forget her odd name, but she also made quite a splash when she threatened to fight Briana at the Teen Mom 2 reunion. There’s nothing more ride or die than that, right? Well, as it turns out, Bone recently hopped off the Kailyn train, and even unfollowed Kail on Twitter. When fans began to wonder why their relationship went downhill, Bone revealed why — because Kailyn got back with Chris!
“Maybe [they aren’t friends anymore because Kailyn] and Chris are bumping hideous uglies again, and Bone was the one by her side thru it all. AN honest friend to [Kailyn, and Kailyn] chose that [piece of sh*t] instead of real friendship. Typical Kailyn,” wrote a fan on Twitter. Bone responded confirming all of the accusations, writing, “It’s like you were there.”
Bone later made it even more obvious this was the case. She retweeted a tweet that reads “Ur a fake a** friend if u don’t help ur girls get over a guy, even if it’s for the 32nd time.” Bone added, “Your friend is fake as f*ck if they don’t listen to your advice for the 32nd time.”
Fans were shocked when Bone confirmed the relationship. “Not a Bone fan but how sh*tty of Kail if true. She disposes everyone like trash when shes done using them,” wrote AmbersInfectdPiercng on reddit. “I just can’t get over kails [bullsh*t]. She tells the world how horrible Chris is but still f*cks him. She tells everyone how pathetic Javi is but still f*cks him. She is just messy af,” wrote chrissyp55.
“Jesus. Kail has no concept of how to maintain healthy, kind term relationships, especially friendships,” wrote ReginaldDwight. “She treats people around her like shit and it's going to bite her in the a**. Also, she needs to move on from Chris. He's sh*tty for leading her on but her hyper focus on somehow convincing him to live her isn't going to end well.”
