Another day, another really upsetting story about Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra. At one point, these two were fan favorites, and definitely the best couple on Teen Mom. All that's been falling apart for a while, but now? Honestly, their marriage is a great big depressing mess. And thanks to a new report, things may be even worse than we thought. Is Tyler cheating?! 1. Such a Mess Where do we even begin in talking about this broken marriage? 2. Hmmm Was “broken marriage” too dramatic? Whatever, it fits. 3. SO LONG Things between these two have been so bad for so long … things were bad before they even got married. 4. Dang, Tyler Remember when they were on that Couples Therapy show and Tyler told the therapist that he was having second thoughts about marrying Catelynn because he’d never been with anyone else and that’s weird? 5. Well And yet, here we are. 6. The Turning Point? But as much as they’ve struggled over the years, things took a definite turn after Cate had a miscarriage and then went for two separate six-week stays at a treatment center in Arizona.

So a lot of people haven't been too into Pete Davidson lately. Well, a lot of people haven't been into Pete Davidson for a long time, but let's just focus on what's been going on lately, OK? His breakup with Ariana Grande has quite a bit to do with this — she has a lot of really hardcore fans, and they're not happy with him right now. But even besides all the Ariana drama, he's gotten a ton of backlash for some jokes he made about Dan Crenshaw last week on Saturday Night Live. In case you missed this story and also don't keep up with politics, Dan Crenshaw is a Congressman-elect from Texas. He's also a veteran who wears an eye patch because his eye was destroyed in combat. Last week during the Weekend Update segment, Pete was mocking the appearance of several candidates in the midterm elections. And when Crenshaw came up, he said that he looked like “a hit man in a porno movie.” “I'm sorry,” he continued, “I know he lost his eye in war or whatever. Whatever.” Except to many people, it was not whatever. Pete got a whole lot of hate for his comment, which was definitely fair. As Crenshaw himself tweeted, SNL should recognize “that vets don't deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes.” It was honestly a pretty big controversy last week. So what about this week?! Pete showed up on Weekend Update once again, this time to apologize. “I mean this from the bottom of my heart,” he explained, “it was a poor choice of words.” “The man is a war hero and he deserves all the respect in the world, and if any good came of this, maybe it was that for one day the left and the right came together to agree on something: that I'm a dick .” At that point, Dan Crenshaw showed up and asked “You think?” Pete apologized directly to him, and he accepted it — it was a genuinely nice moment. But then Crenshaw's phone started ringing with an Ariana Grande song as his ringtone. And that's when things got beautiful. The song played for a bit, and then Pete told him that to get him back for what he said during the last episode, he could check out a picture of him and mock his appearance. When they pulled up a photo of Pete, Crenshaw said that he looked like “if the meth from Breaking Bad was a person.” Next, he said he looked like “a troll doll with a tapeworm,” and then “Martin Short from Santa Clause 3.” For that one, he added that “one of those people was good on SNL,” meaning Martin Short, obviously. To wrap things up, Crenshaw gave a serious message about what this whole scandal could teach us all — how important it is to respect veterans. And at the end of the video, when the audience was applauding, you can hear Pete lean in and tell him “you're a good man.” So everything's been settled, right? Is Pete likable yet? Check out the video below to see the whole thing for yourself, and let us know your thoughts:
Last night was Farrah Abraham’s big boxing match! Or, well, it was supposed to be, anyway. Last night, Farrah was scheduled to fight Hoopz from Flavor of Love in Atlantic City, but sadly, it never came to be. The boxing match was for charity, but our girl backed out because the promoter wouldn’t play for airfare and hotel rooms for like 30 “friends” of hers. Really, that’s what happened. She insisted that she was promised all those rooms and plane tickets, but the organizers denied it, and obviously refused to cater to her insane demands. So she refused to fight. It’s unclear now what’s going to happen with all of that — she could very well be sued for breaking her contract . But the show went on with Mob Wives star Natalie DiDonato taking over for Farrah . Hoopz won, by the way. Meanwhile, Farrah went to Maldives with her daughter, Sophia, and in between posing for lame pictures and being her usual awful self, she gave an interview to Hollywood Life. And, in usual Farrah fashion, it didn’t really make a whole lot of sense but it was entertaining just the same. First, she advised “anyone associated to the criminal fraud promoters” of the fight “to cease and desist using my name for attention of their failed fight to steal money and use celebrities.” Those celebs, by the way, include “Hoopz, Catelynn, and other low-class wannabe celebrities like Drita.” Drita officiated the fight, an excellent choice since she got into that spectacular feud with Farrah earlier this year — that’s shy she’s bringing her up. And the Catelynn she’s referring to here is none of than Catelynn Lowell. Because she went to the fight! As Cate explained in an Instagram post a few days ago, she went to Atlantic City with Tyler because they were “supposed to see Farrah get laid the hell out by Hoopz thennn she dropped out!” She also called Farrah a “scared sissy” and suggested that she “grow a pair,” which was pretty rich. After all, the whole match was to raise awareness against anti-bullying, so to bully Farrah there was just an odd choice. Lots of other people agreed, so many that Catelynn ended up turning the comments off on her post. Anyway, about Catelynn, Drita, and Hoopz, Farrah claimed that they were all “planning to make a mockery of anti-bullying, and as some are moms, it’s disgusting.” She continued by saying that “Since Teen Mom ratings are lowest ever without me, the Teen Mom groupes including Javi, Catelynn and more teen cast members still went to Atlantic City and said that I wasn’t there, as I’m the reason everyone was going.” “Gone are the days I’m around people who are jealous of me — it’s clear I’m the winner over the bullies of this failed event.” “I’ve still won,” she said. “I’m in the Maldives, where they can’t even afford to come.” “Atlantic City is more in their bracket, and happy they paid to watch me.” She’s really not holding back, is she? Farrah wrapped things up by saying that “Like everyone else, I would never watch fake Teen Mom trash drama anymore.” Instead, “the Kardashian parenting is much better to watch,” which is just a really bizarre and also false thing to say here. “Hope the show doesn’t tank,” she added, ” but looks like it has without me .” “Going snorkeling!” And as much as it hurts to admit it, those kinds of quotes are why Farrah is such an icon. Is her absence the reason why Teen Mom OG ratings aren’t so great the season? Maybe. Is she a little delusional in slamming all of these other poeple for destroying the boxing match’s anti-bullying message when she’s said far worse many, many times ?

Despite the theories spun by Teen Mom fans, Tyler Batlierra is not leaving Catelynn Lowell . They have another baby on the way! They gave up their first child for adoption. In this new Teen Mom OG sneak peek, Tyler and Catelynn grapple with the bittersweet occassion that is their firstborn's birthday. “It's been almost a year since we've seen our daughter, Carly,” Catelynn says in a voiceover. “But today is her birthday,” Catelynn narrates. “It's usually a hard day for us, so we always try to celebrate it in a positive way.” There are a couple of awkward moments as they eat their salads before they speak on the phone to Dawn, their adoption counselor. They talk about Nova and her ability to understand that it's Carly's birthday. Nova, of course, is only three years old, so immediately asked when the party would be, and if they would have cake and ice cream. Dawn suggests that they send a Nova video to Carly, and Tyler says that it's already in the works. The conversation, which had so far been lighthearted, turns more serious. Dawn praises Catelynn and Tyler, telling them how proud she is of how they're taking this milestone in stride. Adoption can be a difficult process for everyone involved, even though no one questions that they made the right decision. And the two of them have really made great progress in handling the situation with a healthy perspective. As Tyler admits when Dawn comes over to speak to them in person, he and Catelynn weren't always so chill about it. “I think some of our old expectations were unrealistic,” Tyler admits. “Like, [we] signed our rights off,” he says, referring to signing away their parental rights nine years ago. “A couple of years ago,” Tyler confesses. “I was on the other side.” By which he means that he felt entitled to parental rights that he does not possess. Tyler gives an example: “I was like, ‘You wouldn’t be parents if it weren’t for me.’” “It’s acceptance of what role I really play in this child’s life and this family’s life,” Tyler says of his current perspective. Dawn, their adoption counselor, knows that Carly's birthday is a big deal. She walks them through how they might speak to Carly's parents. “If I can advise you in any way,” Dawn says. “I would say a soft landing would be a good thing.” Dawn suggests: “Maybe starting a conversation with, ‘What’s Carly doing today? How are things going with her at school?’” “You love to brag about Nova,” Dawn notes. “She’s gonna love to brag about Carly.” Dawn concludes: “I think that’s gonna be an easier entry into a conversation.” Tyler and Catelynn then speak about the various traumas that they have experienced. While most of Catelynn's PTSD arises from her childhood, as is most often the case, it's not the only source. The adoption that she and Tyler went through as teens was another trauma in her life. That is very understandable. Being conscious of that can be tremendously helpful. Catelynn's miscarriage, she says, was a trigger for a lot of that trauma to resurface in her mind. Catelynn and Tyler have demonstrated more personal and emotional growth than a lot of their co-stars. We're not going to pretend that either of them are perfect. If they didn't have flaws, they wouldn't work as reality stars. But they've really worked hard on themselves and on their relationship. That deserves some recognition.
Sarah Palin has gone from insulting Barack Obama on the campaign trail to dissing Dakota Meyer on MTV. It's been quite the journey for the former Vice Presidential candidate. On Monday night's episode of Teen Mom OG, Sarah got in the middle of the ongoing marital dispute between her daughter, Bristol, and Bristol's estranged and irritated husband, Dakota Meyer. Following Bristol's breakdown over this relationship , how did her mom try to intervene? What mean things did Dakota have to say this time around? And what were the other cast members up to? Scroll down to find out! 1. Come On, Dakota! We open with Bristol complaining to Sarah about Meyer moving all her belongings into a separate bedroom while she was out of town, following their agreed-upon separation. She was really pissed over this. 2. Sarah Tried to Help “That bare empty room?” said Sarah. “Of course, that was a symbolic thing that he did there. That’s heartbreaking, Bristol.” 3. Fighting Words Bristol told her mom that Meyer also asked for her ring back, saying to his wife: “You better get your mama’s money, because I’m gonna fight you tooth and nail until the girls are 18.” 4. How Will We Move Forward? “The thing that I worry about, is how are we going to learn to communicate as coparents and putting our kids first and not having petty arguments?” wondered Bristol. 5. Meyer Loses It Bristol asked Dakota if he would be home when she got back from a trip to Los Angeles, which set him OFF. “She’s a f-cking smart ass isn’t she? She’s an obnoxious smart ass,” Meyer vented to a producer. “‘Oh, so you’re gonna be there all week?’ It’s my house. What am I gonna do, for 8 days, go find another place to stay? No.” 6. And He Wasn’t Done, Either “She just thinks that when she makes a decision and she wants to do something, everyone else should just bow down and run to her help and make it happen,” Dakota continued. “She’s not my problem anymore. I get upset about it because I have another 16 years to have to communicate to a human being like this about my daughters.” View Slideshow
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are in shock. First, that they are having a baby at all. The Teen Mom stars suffered through a miscarriage very early in 2018 and admitted last month that they weren't trying for a baby when Catelynn learned she was pregnant . Nevertheless, the child is due in March. How exciting, right?

These Two Have Been Through A LOT to Get Here Heck, on a recent episode of Teen Mom OG, Tyler said he was miserable in his marriage and almost dared Catelynn to file for divorce. 2. For What Reason? Tyler said on air, and many times in the past, that he had grown frustrated with focus constantly being on Catelynn and her mental illness struggle. He loves her. He worries about her. But he also has needs and issues that require attention. 3. That Was Then, However After attending couples therapy and talking openly about the obstacles in their marriage, Tyler and Catelynn have managed to push through the big ones and remain together, seemingly happier than ever. 4.

An Unexpected Miracle Concluded Catelynn upon revealing the news to the world: “We were using protection and everything and still got pregnant. This baby just wanted to be here. It was very unexpected.” View Slideshow
Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell are currently in a great place. Like, a REALLY great place: The couple is expecting a baby ! But the Teen Mom OG stars had to overcome many obstacles to get here, most notably Catelynn's struggle with her mental health and related trips to rehab. On the October 15 episode of this MTV hit, Tyler seemed to hit rock bottom. He opened way up about how he viewed his marriage and his romance, confessing some difficult feelings to his friends and to his wife. Scroll down for a look at what Tyler once said about his relationship… in order to fully appreciate where it is now. 1. To Reiterate: All is Good Now! Tyler and Catelynn announced their unexpected pregnancy in mid-September. They could not be more excited to welcome the little boy or girl into their world in March. 2. That is Now. What About Then? This episode of Teen Mom OG was taped many months ago. It centered on the couple sitting down for an appearance on Dr. Oz, before which Catelynn spoke to Dr. Mike Dow. 3. And What Did This Doctor Say? He told the Catelynn that he was proud of her for opening up about her mental health issues to help eliminate the stigma against people who are suffering from similar problems. From there, Lowell admitted she was having trouble staying away from people who were NOT understanding her situation. 4. The Trolls are Everywhere “I cant even go on Twitter right now,” she said. “People are ruthless, they think that I’m just running away from my problems or not wanting to be a mom. I’m not running away from my problems, I was fixing my problems and trying to get better so I could be a better mom.” 5. Baltierra Weighs In… Tyler told his wife – to her face – that he wanted her to take better stock of the influence her time in rehab took on him. He suggested she watch past Teen Mom OG episodes in order to see the toll her depression has had on their marriage. 6. The Bombshell Drops Tyler then got brutally candid, saying on air: “I’m gonna be really very honest. I feel like I’m not too happy right now. I’m identifying that I feel pretty miserable.” He said this to his friends. View Slideshow
OK, so Catelynn Lowell spent a good long while in rehab a while back. We all remember how this went down, but just in case your memory is a little fuzzy, let’s do a quick little recap. Last fall, she and Tyler Baltierra decided it was time to have another child, and she got pregnant pretty fast after they made that decision. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage . And it was very, very hard on her. She began contemplating suicide, but before acting on anything, she told her family, and they helped her check into a treatment center in Arizona. She spent about six weeks there, missing Thanksgiving and Christmas, then came home. But as we saw last season on Teen Mom OG, she really wasn’t feeling much better. In one scene, Catelynn explained to Tyler that she was still very depressed and anxious, and that she felt like she needed to go back to Arizona. The choice caused a bit of strain on their marriage, from what was shown on Teen Mom. He tried to convince her to do some therapy and stay at home instead, but she refused to do that. Instead, she dropped their daughter, Nova, off at daycare without telling her that she’d be gone again, then left. After six more weeks, she came home , and that’s a bit of what we’ll see in the next episode. In the beginning of this new sneak peek, Catelynn explains in a voiceover that she’s only been home for a few days at this point. Catelynn Lowell: Neglecting Her Daughter After Coming Home from Rehab? “It’s been an adjustment,” she admits, “but I really appreciate Tyler taking care of everything while I was gone.” Then we see Catelynn and Tyler playing with Nova, and he asks Cate if anything’s different now that she’s home. “She won’t leave me alone,” Catelynn says, referring to Nova. It’s not the greatest thing to say, especially considering that so many fans thought she seemed too detached with her kid in earlier episodes. Tyler doesn’t seem to love the comment either. “Mom comes back and it’s like ‘Dad who? That guy who has all the stupid rules?'” he says. “‘Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom,” Catelynn mocks. Yeah, it’s really not sounding so good. Later, Catelynn visits with a friend named Hayley who kicks off their chat by asking her how she’s been. She reveals that she has been a bit anxious, but that she feels it’s normal in life to feel a little anxiety from time to time. Hayley tells her that she seems happier than ever, and she agrees, which is nice. She also tells Catelynn that she’s probably more in love with Tyler than ever, after how much he’s supported her. “Oh my god, yeah,” she agrees. “As a husband and wife, man, you say it in your vows, through sickness and in health, for richer or poorer.” “It’s like, you gotta stand by each other, and he totally did.” Hayley pumps Tyler up even more — he’s not even there, by the way. “Yeah, he’s awesome,” Cate replies. Except she doesn’t sound super convinced. We know that Catelynn and Tyler went through some things after she came back from rehab. He’s said that he was “repulsed” by her behavior while she was in treatment, and that couldn’t have been easy for her to hear. We imagine that as the season goes on, we’ll see more of their issues, but so far … It’s honestly looking kind of bad. And, judging by the comments left when MTV shared this sneak peek on Facebook, most Teen Mom fans are just completely over Catelynn in general. “She is a horrible human,” one person wrote. “To complain how your daughter is showering you with attention because you left her for months on end, how pathetic.” And that was the top comment, so … Another commenter asked “How many times does Tyler have to stand by you before you act on his feelings instead of it being all about you?” One person said that they were “glaring at how Nova noticed her mom mocking her desperate need for attention and validation.” Things got especially savage when someone else said that “I think she’s just a failure of a mother and uses her illnesses as a way to escape to rehab.” The comments go on and on and on like that, about what an awful mother she is and how Tyler needs to leave her. View Slideshow: Catelynn Lowell: SLAMMED By Fans For “Selfish” and “Unsafe” Behavior Lots of people also seem concerned that she’s expecting another child now , since they think she’s so cold with Nova already. Honestly, it’s a real bad time to be Catelynn Lowell right now.
So look, your friends here at The Hollywood Gossip love Teen Mom. Love. It. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way these days. Sure, lots and lots of people keep up with the cast and all the drama. But not a lot of those people actually sit down and watch the show every week anymore. And as hard as it is to say, that fact may be causing a big, big problem … 1. Hey, Girls! Here’s the current cast of Teen Mom OG: Catelynn Lowell, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Bristol Palin, and Cheyenne Floyd. 2. Big Changes This is quite the shake-up from last season, but we’ll get into that in a moment. 3. Oh Wow This current season premiered on October 1st, and it pulled in 957,000, which is … well, it’s not great. 4. Ouch 851,000 people tuned in for the second episode, and we probably don’t have to tell you that a drop of over 100,000 viewers is even less great. 5. Sorry, Ladies The numbers are even worse when you look back at older season premieres. 6. Not Great at All Like, this is honestly really, really bad. View Slideshow
Catelynn Lowell has endured a number of hardships and setbacks in recent years, and the honesty with which she's addressed these struggles has made her a favorite amongst Teen Mom OG viewers. But the show documents every part of its stars' lives, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before fans began to see aspects of Catelynn's character that they didn't find quite so endearing. Many feel that the current season of Teen Mom OG has portrayed Catelynn in an unflattering light. Some have even accused of her endangering her unborn baby. Here's what viewers have to say about the new and not-so-improved Catelynn Lowell: 1. Better Days For years, Lowell was regarded as one of the most down-to-earth and relatable stars of the Teen Mom franchise. 2. Hard Times Fans rooted for her as she endured mental health issues, a tragic miscarriage, and other hardships that put her marriage and her psyche to the test. 3. The Baltierra Bond Catelynn and Tyler have endured difficulties that would have driven any young couple to the brink of divorce, but they’ve stuck by one another throughout. Or have they? 4. An Uneven Partnership Part of the reason Catelynn is receiving so much blowback this season is that viewers believe she’s failing to properly support Tyler the way he’s supported her in the past. 5. The Low Point In the past, Tyler happily assumed the majority of the parental responsibilities while Catelynn checked in for extended stays at in-patient treatment facilities on two separate occasions. 6. Failing Her Family? Now, some fans feel that Catelynn is not only neglecting her husband’s needs as he attends to his own mental health issues, she’s also failing to keep up with her own treatment.
