The Teen Mom production crew spends a lot of time with the stars of the show, and they get to know them pretty well! It's no surprise that they have favorites, but what happens when a star is too difficult to work with?
The film crew is important to the show, keep reading to learn what they had to say about the newest Teen Mom addition!
The producers of Teen Mom probably spend more time with the stars than their own family. Sometimes this can be great, other times not so much, so what happens when the crew dislikes working with a star? Luckily, we’ve got the scoop!
One of the newest stars to Teen Mom is Mackenzie McKee, who’s debut episode premiered on Monday. She started right out the gate with some good ol’ fashioned cheating drama.
In the latest episode of Teen Mom OG, Josh left to compete on the rodeo circuit, while Mackenzie was at home with the kids. She got a text from a woman who told her Josh had cheated on her when out at a bar.
When Josh got home, Mackenzie confronted him about the situation. He said he didn’t cheat, but she didn’t seem very confident about his response. Mackenzie then doubled down on Twitter about her reaction to the situation.
“Joshes Friend made some poor decisions and I have stood behind his beautiful wife with her decision of divorcing him.,” Mackenzie tweeted. “And thank you to the two ladies at the bar for ratting him out and telling me the truth about everything that happened.”
She followed up, clarifying, “Had Josh made the choices of flirting like his friend did, I was have divorced him as well. But according to the women and everyone else, Josh didn’t speak to anyone and was simply enjoying a drink.”
Mackenzie’s third tweet implied that she didn’t think a divorce was the best option for a case such as theirs, but that marriage is about learning and standing up for oneself.
Teen Mom 2 added a new cast member as well, Jade Cline.
The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported that crew members have said Jade is wonderful to work with compared to other stars! The outlet reported that one member who worked on her shoots said, “She’s been lovely to work with; honestly a real dream…Everyone really likes her. She’s reliable, and has treated the crew and producers with respect.”
Many of the crew members have worked on other girls’ shoots, and said compared to some of the other women Jade “is not a diva at all.” A source said, “It’s been a refreshing and nice change, actually.”
The same source told the outlet that other shoots have been “chaos.”
“Jade’s story is just really sad,” a source told The Ashley. “There were some super-tense moments, especially concerning her ex-boyfriend that were very scary.”
Other girls are still filming for Teen Mom 2, but Jade’s filming has already wrapped. The crew was excited that Jade’s story provided plenty of content.
“There was so much to film!” they told the outlet. “We have so much footage we don’t need any more for this season. It was so easy to get, not having to deal with cancelled shoots and drama queen tantrums!”
Jade recently opened up about her mother and step father’s struggle with addiction. On part three of the show’s reunion, she revealed that both of her parents had been arrested.
Her storyline on the new season will focus on her parents being in jail. “In my new season, both of my parents were just incarcerated,” she revealed. “They’re been strung out for so long, they’re like binge addicts, where they’ll binge and then they’ll be okay.”
“It hurts because I’ve grown up and I haven’t had my mom there,” Jade said. “My heart was hurting because my real dad committed suicide when I was 6 months old.”
In regards to her parents addiction, Jade said that she feels “like my real dad never loved me enough to stay and now I feel like, even when I have a second chance at a father, I feel like he never loved me enough to stay clean.”
Tyler Baltierra gave Jade some advice, since he has been through similar situations. “One thing that me and Cate have learned is that boundaries are the most important thing,” he told her. “We have to force them.”
Jade’s parents were arrested when police officers were called to inspect a possible overdose inside their vehicle. The police officer then found marijuana and other drug paraphernalia, including a metal pipe. The officers also found a crystal substance that was suspected to be meth, as well as suboxone pills.
Jade’s mother had previously been arrested back in 2014 for possession of cocaine and theft. She had confessed to buying crack cocaine before entering a store and attempting to steal two items of clothing.
