Raising a child can be incredibly difficult, especially for first-timers. No matter how much preparation is done, it’s impossible to really understand parenting until you’ve done it yourself.
And as if that isn’t hard enough, the Teen Mom cast members are doing all of this in the public eye!
Between the MTV cameras and social media, the cast members’ every move is being scrutinized by fans, many of them parents themselves. So when they choose to share inappropriate videos of their own very young children, it’s no wonder that fans find it upsetting.
Over the years, social media has played a huge role in the perception of the Teen Mom fans. What MTV can’t capture while cameras are rolling, the girls do a bang-up job of covering themselves across their multiple platforms.
From controversial posts to revealing videos, the girls have landed themselves in a world of hurt with risky social media updates from the very beginning. In fact, David Eason was even fired from the show for his homophobic tweets!
The cast members may not think twice about what they put on social media, but fans certainly do. That’s why viewers have been so scandalized by this cast member’s inappropriate update.
Cheyenne Floyd and Cory Wharton haven’t been members of the Teen Mom OG cast for very long… but they have been on reality shows for quite some time. Having both started on reality shows on MTV, they’ve had more than enough time to learn what it’s like to live in the public eye.
In fact, Cheyenne had an experience of trial by fire when fans dug up her racist tweets when she was first hired for the show!
Now, it seems like it’s Cory’s turn to get blasted for his social media updates.
Cory posted a video of his daughter, Ryder, sitting on the couch, looking adorable, and eating a lollipop. So what’s the big deal? Well, it all comes down to his music choice.
Cory chose to use the song “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne. Let’s check out some of the lyrics, shall we?
“I say he so sweet make her wanna' lick the rapper / So I let her lick the rapper / Sh, sh, she lick me like a lollipop / She, she lick me like a lollipop, lollipop … Man I ain't never seen an a** like hers / That p**sy in my mouth had me lost for words.”
Oof.
It’s no wonder why fans were so shocked that Cory decided to use this song for a video of his innocent daughter, but they were quick to explain on reddit.
“I'm not usually a pearl clutcher but yeesh Holy innapropriate. Cementing his title as dumbest f*ckboi on MTV,” wrote user tutnic. User jackiehennedy pointed out, “Adding the lyrics made it even worse. Wtf.”
User Samsquanch71 wrote, “Honestly I never got this kind of f*cked up vibe from him before, but this is just so disturbing I'm almost at a loss for words. Farrah level f*cked up ish.”

'Teen Mom' Star Speaks Out on Miscarriage News
When it comes to a show about pregnancies, births, and raising children, it’s no surprise that Teen Mom covers the difficulties and complications that often come along with them, including miscarriages. Over the years, the show has covered numerous miscarriages, and news recently broke that another star had suffered such a loss. However, now she’s setting the record straight.
MTV has captured some of the most beautiful moments in the Teen Mom cast’s lives over the years, but it’s also captured some of the most heartbreaking. Unfortunately, many of the cast members are no strangers to miscarriage, including Teen Mom OG star Catelynn Lowell.
At the time, a source spoke about the event to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.
“It is actually really sad,” the source revealed. “Catelynn got pregnant and surprised Tyler and Nova and then had a miscarriage not long after. That happened right before she went to treatment [in November] when she tweeted about thinking about killing herself.”
They went on, “The crew and production staff heard she was about six weeks pregnant when it happened, but no one is 100% sure.”
What’s worse is that Catelynn had to relive the experience as she went forward with filming. “Catelynn had to talk about trying to get pregnant and then getting pregnant even after she had the miscarriage. We felt badly for her,” the source said.
Catelynn isn’t the only one to have suffered a miscarriage. Maci Bookout also opened up about having a miscarriage as well.
She and her husband, Taylor McKinney were talking about having more children when they revealed the family tragedy.
“We are not having another baby,” Maci told Taylor. “You really want another child?”
“I love kids. I wouldn’t be mad about it,” he replied.
Maci said that she would rather adopt, though she was open to conceiving again.
“If we want it to happen, it’s going to happen like that,” Taylor retorted.
But Maci reminded him that he was “forgetting something” and told him to “think about it.”
Taylor immediately looked upset and excused himself. Then, sitting alone, a producer asked Maci what had happened.
“I had a miscarriage,” Bookout told her. “Her name’s Dandy, Dandelion.”
Sadly, another Teen Mom OG couple has lost a child during pregnancy as well.
From the very beginning of her time on Teen Mom, Cheyenne Floyd and her baby daddy Cory Wharton’s relationship was pretty shaky. It wasn’t long before they broke things off… and next thing we knew, Cory revealed he was having a baby with another woman, Taylor Selfridge!
“It was definitely a surprise,” Cory spilled in an interview with Us Weekly. “Taylor is currently 11 weeks along, and this will be her first child. “Just being there from the day she found out that she’s pregnant and knowing that it was mine, I knew that I was going to have to step up.”
Cory is excited to do all the things as a new father that he did not get to do with his first daughter. “It’s exciting for me. It’s gonna be a lot, but I’m excited. I never went to an ultrasound, you know?” he said. “I never went to the doctor’s appointments to see her check-ups and things like that.”
Unfortunately, Taylor has just opened up about a tragic event in her pregnancy.
“Ok I didn’t think it would be a big deal to take a break from social media but apparently it is because everyone seems to think I’m missing now please don’t believe this stuff,” Taylor shared in her Instagram story.
“I’m doing just fine, I’m happy, healthy, our baby is healthy.”
She went on:
“A few days after the announcement we found out we were supposed to actually have twins, I ended up losing one of them.
She added, “But on the positive side, my baby is healthy! And I’m 19 weeks now.”
Taylor then clarified, “So now when I don’t post on social media. I didn’t go missing. I also want to say that it wasn’t about the loss of a twin, it was me not wanting to stress myself out too much over social media! I wanted to make sure my baby is as healthy as possible.”
Now, Taylor is making it clear that what happened to her was not a miscarriage.
“I don’t like that people are calling it a miscarriage now. It’s called vanishing twin syndrome or disappearing twin syndrome,” Taylor wrote on Instagram. She added, “We went in for a check-up on our baby and they had found a separate empty sac so we didn’t know that we had twins before that.”
She shared that her current goal is minimizing stress during her pregnancy.
“I was so stressed out during the first trimester that I was afraid it was my fault that happened and that’s what I struggle with now,” she wrote. She added, “Our baby is very healthy, we have no genetic issues to worry about after testing and we’re very happy about that.
