Throwdowns of the Year!
The year 2017 was one roller coaster of a time for everyone… and that includes the Teen Mom cast members! Many of the girls — Chelsea, Jenelle, Briana, and Kailyn — gave birth. Some ended long-term relationships, while others started them. Some tied the knot with their partners, some moved into new homes, and some started up new jobs.
Needless to say, a lot has changed over the last 12-month period. A lot of improvements were
made… but a lot of drama went gone down too!
As the Teen Mom personalities gain more and more fame, their combative natures have come out as well. It’s resulted in some of the biggest throw downs that the show has ever seen, and we’re here to stroll down memory lane with the biggest Teen Mom feuds of 2017.
Maci vs. Mackenzie
When Maci Bookout first met Mackenzie Standifer, she liked her immediately. She even said that she was glad that Ryan found her.
Boy, that sure spoiled quickly!
Maci has gone on to foster a serious feud with her ex’s new wife, and it seems like they can’t even stand to be in a room together these days. Things reached their peak when Mackenzie accused Maci of “exploiting” Ryan for the show. During the reunion, she read a letter she had written Maci that spelled it all out.
“You let everyone know that you feared for his life while concurrently exploiting Ryan’s addiction for the show. Instead of solving the problem or doing what you could to make an effort to solve it, you decided to humiliate Ryan,” she read.
Maci, who accused Mackenzie and Ryan’s parents of knowing about his addiction but not doing anything, was reasonably furious. “You’re so full of sh*t, your eyes are brown,” she snapped at Mack.
Farrah vs. MTV
Most of the feuds of the year were between two cast members, but Farrah Abraham has always gone down a unique road. Her biggest feud this year was actually with the Teen Mom creators and executives, as well as MTV and Viacom!
After MTV “fake fired” her, Farrah went off on numerous rants about the station. Her accusations that “Morgan J Freeman of 11th St productions is unprofessional, fake, women hater, press hungry,Sex Shaming, Hate Crimes, Poor Business Practices , unsafe working environment” was just the tip of the iceberg.
Farrah vs. ... Everyone?
After that, the floodgates completely opened for Farrah. Not satisfied by just sounding off against MTV, she decided to throw all of her co-stars under the bus, including calling Tyler gay! She wrote on Twitter, “I’m just happy Amber stays in bed, Maci sits on the couch, Catelynn smokes weed in her car, Tyler’s gay still doesn’t admit it.”
Tyler shot back, “In order for [Farrah] to really insult me, I would first need to value her opinion and the lion does not dwell on the opinions of sheep.”
Farrah’s not the only one to face off against MTV and all of her co-stars, though.
Jenelle vs. MTV
After a pretty controversial few scenes about Jenelle and her family aired, Jenelle had enough. She claimed that MTV was altering events simply to paint her in a bad light. She even threatened to quit the show!
“I have decided after this season I’m probably calling it quits for filming this show," she fumed. "I told Morgan it’s getting to [sic] out of hand and it’s not healthy for us anymore, just harming us mentally. They treat all of us as if we are in a freak show and in cages. WE aren’t human beings to @mtv what-so-ever.”
Jenelle vs. Everyone
Jenelle also slapped a huge number of the cast with cease and desist letters. Among the recipients were Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry, and Jenelle’s own mother Barbara!
“I just got a cease and desist from Jenelle and David. So there’s that lolll,” Chelsea tweeted, adding, “#idonteventalkaboutyou.” Kailyn ranted, “How does one get a cease & desist from someone they don’t care to talk about… & if i did, it’s my opinion,” adding, “#hijenelle #byejenelle.”
Barbara soon wrote, “Well Girls I’m joining the group!!!!!! I also got my Cease and Desist Papers today. From Mr and Mrs Eason.”
Jenelle vs. Kailyn
Maybe Jenelle was upset with Kailyn because of recent exchanges they had about Jenelle’s mothering. When MTV tweeted a gif of Kaiser begging for food, Kailyn replied, “There’s nothing funny about this.”
Then Jenelle reportedly texted Kailyn, saying “she shouldn’t be making ‘b*tch a** comments’ about her life unless she knows the full story,” according to an insider who spoke with Radar.
Kailyn may not have been too upset, since she had her hands full with another huge feud between her and her ex-husband, Javi...
Kailyn vs. Briana
There were rumors that Javi and Briana had started up a relationship for a while, but they shocked everyone when they officially announced that they had started dating. Of course, that didn’t make Kailyn too happy!
After Briana wrote that she and Kailyn “aren’t friends” and “never were,” Kailyn shot back, “Lmao don’t sh*t where you eat.” Then Briana leaked some seriously personal texts between Kailyn and Javi for revenge!
Amber vs. Matt
Sometimes feuds can be disappointing for fans, especially when girls they look up to start getting increasingly hostile. However, there was one huge feud this year that pretty much everyone was happy about: Amber’s giant fight with Matt Baier.
Matt has been disliked by many from the very beginning, considering that he’s 19 years older than Amber. Over the years, fans’ dislike of him has gotten bigger and bigger, despite the fact that Amber remained true to him! Eventually, Matt’s true colors came out when Amber refused to elope with him in Las Vegas because she wanted her brother to be there for her wedding.
“I will not marry her,” Matt raged. “I will not marry her now, ever! I’m not gonna let her brother dictate my life. That f*cking f**got. That’s who she wants to marry. F*ck her. She just humiliated me on TV. I’m done.”
Then he begged a producer not to air the footage. “I don’t care who you have to give oral pleasure to, keep the Amber and Matt wedding thing off. She just embarrassed me in front of 12 million people,” he said.
They somehow made up after this explosive fight, but at the end of last season of Teen Mom OG, Amber finally had enough of the cheating rumor. She decided to find out the truth for herself. When Matt failed a polygraph test about cheating on her, that was it. “Trash, trash!” she yelled at him when he failed. “I got you money! I got you deals! F*ck you! You tried to f*ck her!”
