Kailyn Lowry & Chelsea Houska SLAM Teen Mom 2 Producers: You Were Supposed to Protect Us!
If you watched last night’s Teen Mom 2 reunion special — which was rather lamely subtitled Behind the Screams — then you know there was no shortage of raised voices.
But as is so often the case with heavily-edited reality TV, we needed a bit of post-show insight from the stars themselves in order to clarify exactly what was behind those screams.
Obviously, Briana DeJesus and Kailyn Lowry nearly came to blows on two separate occasions but were held back by security both times.
Everyone on hand was appalled for the obvious reasons, but there was also a secondary cause for the confusion and anger that seemed to ripple through the room.
It seems Kailyn Lowry was outraged that the show’s producers put her in harm’s way.
And she wasn’t alone.
Chelsea Houska is currently pregnant with her second child, and she was reportedly so appalled by the unsafe conditions on set that she considered quitting the show.
The castmates both made their frustrations clear when in tweets that were posted immediately after the show aired Monday night:
“The producers encouraged me to text briana to meet up prior to that scene with Chelsea,” Lowry wrote.
“Came outta left field with the higher ups are asking if you would be willing to talk to her + added their own suggestions.”
She added:
“They really make it look like it was my idea to ask her to talk.
“I also texted 3 producers on set and said don’t put them behind me on the couch.”
Of course, Briana was seated near her on the stage, and that’s when the second round of violence broke out.
Chelsea echoed Briana’s sentiments, revealing that she was so disgusted with what took place that day that she didn’t even watch the reunion:
“I already watched tonight’s episode earlier and it made me feel so sick to my stomach that I was even around any type of physical altercation while pregnant,” Houska tweeted.
“Unfortunately, I put too much trust into people that I thought were looking out for my best interest and safety,” she added.
“Looking back…I wish I would’ve listened to my gut feeling and not have gone to filming that day at all.”
Chelsea’s father, Randy Houska, was even harsher in his assessment of the day’s events.
“The fact that @mtv higher ups said they would not let happen exactly what did happen … was ridiculous,” he wrote.
“I firmly believe it was all set up with Brianna ahead of time to flip out like that.”
Randy went on to say that the network should’ve taken disciplinary action against Briana and her sister, Brittany:
“Exactly what @ChelseaHouska predicted would happen and @mtv promised would not happened. There should have been severe consequences,” he tweeted.
But it seems Briana doesn’t entirely share her castmates’ views on who’s to blame for last night’s debacle:
“This whole situation would of never happened if ppl minded their business on who I was f—king. Also I wasn’t scared, I popped off in front of cameras cause I was tired of things being done secretly and ppl playing the victim,” she wrote in a series of deleted tweets.
“I saw plenty of msgs in Javi’s phone of a certain someone talking about me and my family. U can’t point fingers if ur hands are just as dirty.
Ironically, these days, it’s Briana who’s doing the finger-pointing by implying that Kailyn is entirely to blame for the melee, and she and MTV are not at fault.

Maci Bookout Defends Keeping Son Away From Ryan Edwards: I WILL Protect Bentley!
Now that Ryan Edwards has completed a stint in rehab, Maci Bookout is opening up about her struggle with his well-documented addiction.
Specifically, with regard to co-parenting their son.
If you watch Teen Mom OG online, you were privy to one of the more surprising and disturbing storylines in recent memory this season.
Maci worried repeatedly about Ryan’s drug use, causing tension between herself, his fiance Mackenzie Standifer, and Edwards’ parents.
Then, on the finale, Ryan married Mackenzie in a makeshift, parking lot wedding attended only by its officiant and Ryan’s mom and dad.
Oh, and Ryan drove high to the wedding.
So high, in fact, that he appeared to nod off behind the wheel, resulting in widespread fan criticism of both Mackenzie and MTV itself.
A Teen Mom crew member defended this with an interesting explanation, but regardless, no one came away from this looking good.
Fortunately, the dust has settled a bit since.
Ryan is out of rehab, and while Mackenzie and Maci are still feuding over the finale, Bookout offered a positive update on his condition.
“Yeah I knew there was an issue in the past,” Bookout said after watching the disturbing scenes play out like the rest of us this summer.
“I didn’t know it was anything like it was.”
Also like the rest of us, when Maci learned that the father of her first-born child would be going to rehab, she felt a strong sense of relief.
“I felt like a completely different person right away,” she said, adding that he is “where he needs to be” these days after receiving treatment.
“I knew the cloud over me, and all of us, was big, dark and heavy, but I just didn’t know how big, dark and heavy it was until it was gone.”
Throughout the season, Bookout admits that she received advice from an addiction counselor who advised her to use Bentley as leverage.
Surely, she would prefer not to use those words, but if he refused to get help for his obvious drug problem, she felt she had zero choice.
As for whether she’s still playing that card?
“I’m going to do my best to not discourage him, but also keep my child safe,” Maci said, implying that she’s leaving all options on the table.
Clearly, there are unresolved issues between the ex-couple (and his current wife), as this isn’t a situation that can be swept under a rug.
On the Teen Mom OG reunion, Mackenzie came out swinging against Bookout, accusing her of being an exploitative enabler basically:
“Maci you told me to my face merely days after I had informed you that Ryan was seeking help that you have known about his problem.”
Not only did she know, Mackenzie said, but she knew “since November… that was 186 days he could’ve died and still you said nothing.”
“You let everyone know that you feared for his life while concurrently exploiting Ryan’s addiction on the show,” Standifer said pointedly.
She continued, “Helping Ryan doesn’t mean talking about all of his problems on national television, it means being supportive.”
A good partner or co-parent would refrain from “kicking someone down,” she says, and “respect the privacy we all so graciously deserve.”
Bookout called that “ridiculous” and told Standifer she shouldn’t have signed up for a reality show if she wanted more privacy than this.
Hopefully, cooler heads prevail going forward and Ryan sticks with his out-patient treatment, for Bentley’s sake and all of theirs as well.
