Kailyn Lowry’s divorce from Javi Marroquin continues to get uglier by the day as the ex-couple’s warring over social media continues. This time with a third party involved in the shade-throwing. Javi’s been running his mouth left and right, passive-aggressively telling anybody and everybody how Kailyn is to blame for the split. The Teen Mom 2 star recently gave an interview in which Javi says Kailyn knows what she did , strongly implying that she’s a cheater. Now Marroquin’s relationship with mutual friend Christina “Peach” Pietrobon (above) is once again being called into question – by Lowry. To recap: Javi and Kailyn are divorcing after separating while he was overseas with the U.S. Air Force. He moved out as soon as he returned. The status of their relationship these days is tense, at best. “Unless it has to do with the boys, we don’t talk. I have nothing to say to her,” he said of his soon-to-be ex-wife. “We co-parent, that’s it.” But he has plenty to say about her if you get him going at all. “I don’t wanna put too much out there, but she knows what she did. It’ll come out,” he told Us. “What’s done in the night will show in the light.” “It’ll all unravel. I just gotta keep my mouth shut and watch.” He didn’t go further than that in terms of naming names or specific things she did, but he did say she’s a different person these days: “To be honest, [Kailyn]’s changed a lot. I left for six months and a lot has changed, so sometimes I don’t even know if I know who she is.” “She’s living a different life than I thought we were going to.” Javi also claimed that Kailyn filed for divorce last December, but they worked it out … only she never actually nixed the divorce filing. He said that he figured it out while overseas, along with a lot of other things Kailyn allegedly been doing. Marroquin says he has proof. Enter Peach, the couple’s longtime friend. Javi raised more than a few eyebrows – and rumors of cheating with Kailyn’s best friend – after he returned from deployment this summer. “Missing @Javimarroquin9,” Peach wrote, as Marroquin responded, in tweets he had to know were flirty and would get under Kailyn’s skin: “So soon! So freaking soon!” Soon after Kailyn announced their divorce, Peach tweeted: “Really disappointed in you. You’ll blame someone for not being there yet you won’t even give them the chance to choose to be there.” “You decided for them when you neglected to tell them all the information to make their own decision,” she wrote in a scathing indictment. Fast forward to this week, when someone asked Javi why he and Peach – who are clearly close – don’t get together now that he’s single. He replied by saying that she’s just a friend, and therefore it would be weird … but Kailyn stepped in to say “they did date in high school.” Javi shut that down, as the latest war of words escalated: Peach agreed, then turned things around on Lowry, hard. She seemed to allude, as Javi has, that Kailyn was the one behind their marriage unraveling, telling a fan there is more to this. Specifically, that the fan isn’t ready for the “real” explanation: At that point, Kailyn clearly got nervous and tried to nix this. The mother of two hilariously chastised Peach to put a lid on it and that social media is “not the place” to air this dirty laundry. Pot … have you met kettle? You two should get together! The queen of passive-aggressive tweets and terrible communication skills giving lectures on social media tact is just hilarious: Bottom line: In all likelihood, this is going to get worse before it gets better, and we’ll have a front row seat online if nothing else. We really hope the MTV cameras are rolling for at least some of it, because we’re looking at ratings gold if ever there were any. Sure, it’s challenging to film a Twitter beef for TV, we realize. But even so, few things would make us want to watch Teen Mom 2 online more than watching their reactions to this on camera. As for Javi’s new girlfriend , he says she’s just a friend too. Guy either has a lot of female friends that he enjoys flirting with openly, or really enjoys needling the mother of his child … or both. Who says they have to be mutually exclusive?
Dear Bossip , My closest and longest standing girlfriend of 16 years and I have recently come to an awful fallout. Our relationship was already strained considering I had bumped heads with another one of our mutual friends who did me wrong, and for five years they were cut out of my life. All that changed earlier this year when my mother died suddenly of a brain stroke. Both of my friends attended the funeral and all our beef was immediately squashed given the circumstances. I should have been more cautious, but to be honest I was really happy to have my two besties back in my life. And, at the time, I thought that any petty drama in the future would be avoided as we are mature adults. I was wrong. My initial friend and I have never fallen out before. We may have had some heated moments, but it’s never been a slanging match. Until now. It all started when my girlfriend invited me to her son’s religious confirmation. My other mutual friend is his godmother. But, she was getting married and then having her honeymoon so his event had to be postponed to assure her attendance. The date of the affair was up in the air until further notice. In the meantime, I had managed to locate my biological father. As you can imagine, at 35 years old this was a big thing for me. To celebrate I arranged a night out followed by a party at my house in which my closest friends and existing family could meet my father and new stepmother. On at least 5 separate occasions, I reminded my best friend of the date. I sent her a link to the event that we would be attending and I kept on reminding her that I wanted her and her man to be there. As my other friend was getting married and couldn’t be there, due to being on her honeymoon, to me that was acceptable. When the day arrived my best friend sent a message with my brother saying she couldn’t be there because she had to work. I did not hear from her asking how we got on. This left a bad taste in my mouth, but I did not say anything about it as I was unsure how to approach the situation given our long history of friendship. I was hurt at the fact that she didn’t have the decency to even pick up the phone to call me and let me know herself or even ask me about the DNA results that she knew I was awaiting. The following week our mutual friend returned from her honeymoon. We met up for drinks, as we both live in the same neighborhood, to catch up. Two days later, I’m on Facebook and there is all these photos on my feed of my two friends and her son- celebrating at the son’s event, which I was not told was going to be happening that day. I seriously felt a way as I had just seen the mutual friend for drinks and she did not mention anything about the fact that the event was going to be taking place a matter of days later. Still, I said nothing. The following week was my birthday. While celebrating in Barcelona, both of them messaged me to wish me a happy birthday?! I paid them dust. Fast forward to the present day. After being out of the country for a month and meeting my new family on my father’s side, my brother tells me that my mother’s ashes are to be scattered. Given the situation of how I feel about my best friend – I messaged her and told her that I did not want to see her at the grave site as I was questioning our friendship. I explained to her why I felt the way I did and that whatever condolences she would have potentially wanted to pass along would not be greeted with the best enthusiasm. Instead of righting her wrongs and apologizing- she says that she didn’t know that she was supposed to be meeting my dad and that no friends were invited to her son’s event as it was just ‘Family only.’ I told her that I was disgusted by her behavior and that real friends do not categorize real friends in such a manner. Now, I’m left wondering if I have made the right decision or if I have acted in haste? Thoughts? – A Confused Friend Dear Ms. A Confused Friend , I think you need to clarify with your friend why you have cut her off because I was confused by reading your letter. I wasn’t sure who was who – who was getting married, who was having the religious ceremony for their son. And, when you brought them up again I had to go back to the top of the letter and find out which one was the best friend, and who was the mutual friend, and why you fell out with the mutual friend, but now you all are cool again. I also didn’t follow, and wasn’t clear if you confronted your best friend and told her why you cut her off, or are you expecting her to guess why you are mad at her? Does she, or did she know that she was cut off? And, you want her to right her wrongs and apologize, but for what? Look, you are mad because you were not invited to your best friend’s son’s religious confirmation. However, your mutual friend was invited, and you’re mad because your friend told you that it was “family only.” But, isn’t the mutual friend the “godmother” of the child? So, if the mutual friend is the godmother, then, technically she is “family,” or considered “family.” And, it appears that she is much closer to your best friend than you, considering your best friend asked your mutual friend to be the godmother of her child. So, my question to you is why are you calling her your best friend when it seems that the other woman may be her best friend? (Sips tea) I think you may have given too much credit, and too much credence to your relationship with your so-called best friend. You are not on the same page, and though you may think she is your best friend, she is best friends with your mutual friend. And, before you start dismissing and chopping folks off, I think you need to have a conversation with her as a grown woman and express how you feel, and ask her about your friendship. I’m sure you may realize that you two have different interpretations of your friendship, or what your friendship is about. Now, yes, you have every right to be upset considering she bailed on your reunion and meeting of your father. You did express that you emailed, called, texted, and confirmed with her that you wanted her and her man to be there for the festivities. And, you can confront her about it and ask her what happened. Ask her why she didn’t show up and why failed to show support for an important moment in your life. Again, have a grown woman conversation with her, and find out the reason. I noticed that whenever you have a beef or issue with your friends that you tend to shut down. You don’t say anything, and you don’t confront them about it. You let it fester and then you create this whole scenario of what you think happened, why it happened, and how they did you wrong. You pretend everything is fine and things are all good, yet, you are stewing with being upset, angry, and disappointed. They have no clue that they did something to you, and that you are upset over it. And, then, you just stop speaking, and start pouting and then go to your corner and then when they ask what’s wrong you blow up and make them out to be wrong and bad for something they had no clue over what they did. I am very certain you do this a lot with all of your relationships and with other people in your life. Also, didn’t you say you fell out with both of them at one point, or at least your mutual friend for five years, and it wasn’t until the death of your mother that you and she reconciled, and came back together as friends? So, if this is the case, then if you haven’t spoken to the mutual friend for five years, it may be possible that during that time she and your best friend developed their own friendship and became close. And, your best friend probably didn’t tell you because if there was bad blood, then, I’m sure she was like why mention her if you’re going to bad mouth her when she and her are growing close, and your best friend has a friendship with her independent of you. Ma’am, it’s time to grow up and be an adult, and when someone or something bothers you, then you confront the person gently and lovingly and explain that you are upset by what they did. You talk with them to get clarification over the matter, and see how the miscommunication may have been prevented, and, or, you discuss if something wasn’t clear, or misconstrued. You can avoid a wealth of headaches, anger, upsets, and being mad if you just calm yourself and talk with the other person. I’m sure all disagreements, misunderstandings, and any other concerns can be worked out if you just ask take the time to get very clear and make sure everyone is on the same page. Because, again, you were not at her son’s religious confirmation because you are not family, and if she didn’t express that to you, then, you need to ask her why it wasn’t clear, and if your friendship as her best friend doesn’t constitute you as “family.” You need to be on the same page regarding your friendship and how you interpret best friend, and she interprets best friend, or if you are her best friend. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

As previously reported, Jenelle Evans is pregnant with her third child. The Teen Mom 2 star is expecting a baby girl with boyfriend David Eason, a development that has led to plenty of jokes and eye rolls around the Internet. But Evans has shared something personal with Us Weekly that is not cause for mockery or derision: She recently had a miscarriage. Say what you want about the troubled reality star, but this a life-changing event that no human being should ever have to suffer through. Speaking to the tabloid, Evans explained that she met with her endocrinologist in April and was alerted that her blood tests indicated that she was pregnant. “I was really, really confused because I was seeing an endocrinologist for my health issues I’ve been having, and she told me that she did blood tests on me to check everything out,” Evans says . ‘She wasn’t even trying to check for pregnancy.” Evans kept the pregnancy a secret, though the news became public knowledge in the most unexpected of ways: Earlier this summer, she was in a car accident. She told the police officers on scene that she was experiencing abdominal pain and that it due to the fact that she was 10 weeks along at the time. The officers included this note in their official report and the report somehow leaked online. Soon afterward, Evans didn’t deny the pregnancy… but instead of confirming the news, she blasted critics for their harsh words . Days after the April appointment, meanwhile, Evans was in California for a Teen Mom 2 reunion and scheduled a meeting with The Doctors’ Dr. Peter Weiss to receive a second opinion. After having an ultrasound conducted, a urine sample run and a blood test taken, Evans was told she was NOT pregnant after all. Huh? View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans and David Eason: Romance Rewind! “I told my endocrinologist [about the negative results], and when I went home, my endocrinologist said, ‘Well, it looks like you had a miscarriage,'” Evans now explains. “So actually instead of it being my period I [thought I] had, I guess [it was] a miscarriage the month before I even got pregnant. “And that’s when everyone thought I was pregnant at first.” Following initially remaining mum on the subject, Evans shared the above Instagram photo of her and Eason this week. She included with it a caption that confirmed her pregnancy AND her due date AND the name of her impending child. “Time to introduce the world to our baby girl soon, Ensley Jolie Eason,” she wrote. “She will be arriving Jan. 28th. We couldn’t be any happier!” Eason, who will be Evans’ third baby daddy, also shared his excitement online, writing the following: “I’m so happy im bout ta cry!!. I love you so much @j_evans1219 and I can’t wait to meet our baby girl Ensley Jolie Eason!!” View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! Evans tells Us Weekly that she and Eason have been talking about settling down at some point in the near future. They may get married. But they were not planning on having a child right now. How did this happen then? Evans says she was not on birth control at that a “cheap” condom burst. Evans is also mother to a two-year old named Kaiser, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Nathan Griffin; and a seven-year old named Jace, whom she welcomed with Andrew Lewis in 2009. In 2010, the MTV personality forfeited custodial rights of her firstborn to her mother, Barbara Evans, who still looks after the young boy. The two often clash over how he’s being raised and the role Evans plays in his life. Eason is the father of a daughter named Maryssa from a previous relationship. In the end, despite this unexpected news, Evans is making the most of it. She’s especially psyched to have a little daughte on the way. “I’ve got my girl now, and I’m very ecstatic, very happy to be actually decorating stuff and all girls stuff, and all my friends are like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re going to be so spoiled!’” she says. “Because all my friends, they just have little boys, so it’s like everyone is just so super excited for me!” So are we. But we just hope Evans has learned some lessons from the past and will apply them to this girls’ future.

…African-American entrepreneur Michelle Timberlake-Jackson is taking a bite out of the industry. Her 25-year-old Marjorie’s Beef Jerky Inc. produces a selection of beef jerky made from fine cuts of beef. Marjorie’s Beef Jerky Inc. markets, distributes, and sells a beef jerky brand that features six flavors (Original, Hot & Spicy, Sweet & Spicy, Cracked Pepper, Teriyaki and Burnout). The products are also MSG free and are made only with natural ingredients. When Timberlake started her company in 1991 she was (and still is) an 18-wheeler truck driver. Unfortunately she was in a major truck driving accident in 1991 and, concerned about her financial future, she decided to start a beef jerky company, named after her late mother Marjorie Leona Dawson. “My mother was my number one beef jerky fan. In 2010, she told me, ‘Michelle it’s time for you to put your beef jerky through. It is going to make you,’” Timberlake-Jackson told the New Pittsburgh Courier… [ MadameNoire ] Sisters Launch Online Service That Brings The Hair Salon To You …Sisters Abigail and Antonia Opiah… figured out that instead of trucking to a shop, women would love to have the salon come to them; so they created an online service called Yeluchi where professional hairstylists and beauty experts come straight to your home. Yeluchi is a natural extension for the entrepreneurial sisters who already founded the successful Black hair care site, Un-Ruly. “Over the years, in building Un-Ruly and talking about Black hairstyles and care, we’ve learned a great deal about our own hair needs and what other Black women need when it comes to their hair,” Antonia told Atlanta Black Star. “What kinds of questions they’re asking, when they can do their hair themselves and when they need an expert to jump in.

Jon Gosselin remains a douchebag. But he’s now a shocked and very angry douchebag. The former reality star, who America had been more than happy to forget all about for many years there, has been back in the news over the past several days or so. For all the wrong reasons. It started with the world finding out how Gosselin works part-time as a cook at a Fridays and as a DJ in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. After we dealt with that troubling information, Gosselin opened up in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He said at the time that he really doesn’t see his eight children much at all; in fact, he hadn’t hung out little Collin in two years! “Everybody used to come to my house,” Jon said of his eight children; twins Maddie, Cara, and sextuplets Alexis, Hanna, Leah, Joel, Aaden and Collin. Then what happened? “Madelyn and Cara just stopped coming, around 12-13 [years old]. I didn’t question it. I was just like, ‘Hey, do what you want, be with your friends’ and then it just became they’re not coming.” Learn more about Jon’s life and see him discuss his children in this clip: Jon Gosselin Talks About His Kids Incredibly, however, Madelyn and Cara have actually responded to Gosselin’s claims that they are to blame for their lack of contact with their father. And they’ve called serious BS on that allegation. “He should maybe spend some time thinking about why we don’t want to see him, and maybe realize that if he ever does want a relationship with us, talking about us on TV is not the way to make that happen,” Mady told People Magazine this week. She then made it pretty clear just how pissed off she is at her dad. “He doesn’t even know us,” she said. “How can he dare to talk about us?” Cara let her sister do most of the talking in the interview, but her one sentence about Jon Gosselin almost said it all: “I wouldn’t even know what to say about him,” she uttered. She barely knows her father. We try not to quote Donald Trump very often around here, but: SAD . View Slideshow: 13 Really Bad Celebrity Dads How does Gosselin feel about being called out in such a manner? By his teenage children?!? “I’m very upset,” Jon told Entertainment Tonight in response. “I love my children very much. I’ve always been there for them and I always will be. “It’s shocking.” We can’t possibly pretend to know what’s going on with Jon and Kate Gosselin. It was difficult enough to figure them out when they came into our living rooms each month on the TLC reality series Jon and Kate Plus 8. But replying to criticisms by his daughter that he should not talk about her on television by talking to a television outlet about her is likely not the way to go. View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Douchebags on Reality TV In this same interview with People, Kate Gosselin said she enrolled son Collin in a program away from home to help cope with his “special needs.” The 41-year old explained: “[There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things. “This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own.” That, of course, was a not-so-subtle shot at her ex-husband. We don’t want to take sides here, especially not with Kate Gosselin… but what sort of father doesn’t see any child for two years? Let alone a child with special needs?!? “I’ve felt very alone in this,” Kate said of her struggle to raise Collin and his seven siblings. “By the same token, it’s not something that has only impacted me or him – our entire family has been impacted.” Mady and Cara have made that clear. Do we approve of Kate once again sitting with her kids and discussing their family with a national publication? Of course not. But we approve of that more than Jon Gosselin simply not playing a role in his children’s lives. Kate has set the parenting bar pretty low over the years… and yet Jon has still managed somehow not to clear it.
Milan Christopher On “Don’t Be Scared” Milan Christopher stopped by BOSSIP’s “Don’t Be Scared” podcast this week to dish on his background, his music career and his love life. On being cast on “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” because he’s gay: “At the time I didn’t feel like that [that I was being exploited], even now I don’t feel like that. I think everything has its time and space in pop culture. Even though it can be lucrative, there are people who say ‘we gotta get a gay guy, we gotta get a black guy, we gotta get a white guy’, but I wasn’t brought on the show for that. I was brought on the show as Hazel’s friend and once they met me and seen me and aesthetically was like ‘wow who’s that guy?’ They said, ‘let’s get some more information.’” On his ex Miles Brock: “I actually just spoke to him, Tyler Perry had a movie screening maybe about a week ago. He was there and we spoke, we actually talked about some stuff. I don’t have any ill will or any gripes. I still hear interviews and there’s a bashing of Milan. I don’t really care, if you’re so popping you can pop. If you feel like you that n***, then go be that n***. I brought you to the show, I shared what was offered to me because I loved you. It wasn’t because you were this dope rapper, or they were so interested in your story. It was because of me. If you are who you say you are then you’re going to be that person regardless.” On his previous beef with Sundy Carter: “This is the thing, I have had commercials. I wasn’t this big giant superstar before I was on the show, you know it’s like people get this degrees [in reality TV] without going to school, they get these honorary degrees—I worked for my degree. He [Miles] doesn’t know how to maintain his relevancy without doing bulls** stuff or stunts. That’s a stunt, it wasn’t real. He wasn’t in a relationship with Sundy. I went on her podcast on DishNation we talked, we laughed about it and it was cool.

Campaign To Highlight Women Of Color Returns We are so excited to see The Colored Girl, Inc is back with another great campaign, this time dubbed The Rebirth . While many of the original models are back, founders Victory Jones and Tori Elizabeth brought even more women of color to the campaign by featuring models who represent a number of diverse backgrounds. We were also excited to see supermodel Diandra Forrest has joined the movement! “This campaign is important because it signifies something greater than just being comfortable in our own skin,” reads the statement from The Colored Girl, Inc founders Tori Elizabeth and Victory Jones . “It’s about regeneration, rebirth and a reclaiming of our power, while broadening the scope of what it means to be The “Colored” Girl. We have to recognize that the effects of colorism are not only present in the black community, but in all brown communities, and that issues plaguing us as brown women is something that we (sadly) have in common. These and other commonalities, are the ties that bind us; while we unite to celebrate the differences that also make us unique and beautiful. We felt it was important to represent this visually, while also capturing the stunning essence of each individual woman. Dope right? You’ll probably notice that this time around the women are styled in both neutral and natural colors as well as whites and beiges… “We chose to style the original girls in white to set them apart, signifying “rebirth,”” Tori and Victory explained. “Having been featured in the original campaign, they’ve been here before, and have had an awakening of sorts. They’ve undergone the journey, which the newer girls (in nudes, neutrals, earth tones) are currently embarking upon… a rite of passage to self-discovery, which begins with first accepting and embracing everything you are. We feel that a lot of people will not only fall in love with the images, but with what it represents as well, which is not only the resurgence of The Colored Girl, but widening the margins to include more of them. Yes, We love black women. We are black! But we are also brown and part of a much larger global community of Colored Girls. And yes, we feel that what we are doing is sorely needed, because representation matters. We also know that to ever move past where we have been or even where we are today, both are needed: the celebration of US, as well as the inclusion of others who have also been marginalized. We are serving beauty and fashion with the purpose of creating awareness, fostering empowerment and cultivating solidarity amongst brown women, while showing the world that we all deserve to be celebrated equally.

Sad news out of Hollywood today, as TMZ is reporting that Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have broken up . In other news: Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart were apparently still dating. The reports that the couple is dunzo come on the heels of rumors that Lopez is pregnant at the age of 47 . We think it’s safe to say you can add this to the pile of evidence that those rumors are bogus. There’s no word on why Lopez and Smart called it quits, but insiders say it was Lopez who pulled the plug on the relationship. The couple first started dating way back in October of 2011… But it’s anyone’s guess as to how many times they split up and got back together. Part of the reason for that is that Jen and Casper intentionally sent mixed messages about the status of their relationship. Insiders say Lopez and Smart faked a breakup in 2014 because they were sick of the public scrutiny of their relationship. From the start, the pairing was a subject of public fascination … and a fair amount of puzzlement. At 29, Smart is 18 years Lopez’s junior and was a struggling professional backup dancer when they met. Not what you expect from a woman who previously dated men as successful as Diddy and Ben Affleck, but as several fans pointed out over the years, male celebrities date and marry young, attractive nobodies all the time. So we’re not throwing shade over the age difference, but we’re still pretty happy to see these two go their separate ways. There were multiple signs that the relationship was less than stable, not the least of which were the multiple breakups (fake and otherwise). We don’t know if J-Lo called things off face-to-face or if she just ghosted Casper, but either way, it was probably a smart move. We’ll show ourselves out.
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley may not be back together, but that doesn’t mean they can’t raise their daughter, Leah as a team. ” Me and Gary sat on his front porch and talked about everything,” Portwood told People Magazine ahead of Teen Mom OG ‘s season premiere tonight. “[We were] like ‘Okay, what should we do?’ And we made the decision that he would take primary custody, simply because we didn’t want to take her out of her school. “She’s going to a really great school and she’s in an advanced class and I don’t want to take that away from her.” Last week, MTV shared a preview of Portwood discussing custody with her friend, Krystal. Portwood revealed that the animosity between her and Gary was affecting the 7-year-old, so she decided to put whatever issues she has with her ex aside for the well-being of their daughter.

I have her on my weekends and during the summer we had her back and forth 50/50. It was great. I would have her for like a week straight and we’re doing really good with this.” What’s even better is that Portwood and Shirley don’t have to go back to court to discuss custody. It’s not, however, smooth sailing for this famously volatile duo. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Season 6 Previews: So Much Drama For the OG Mamas! I mean, come on. It’s as smooth as it can be,” Portwood said with a laugh, referring to how she and Shirley communicate. “Me and Gary don’t exactly have the greatest way of communicating, but we’re doing better. It’s going the way that everybody would think it’s going.” Portwood gushed about Leah, and what a good big sister she is to Shirley’s daughter Emily with his wife, Kristina Anderson. “She’s so smart,” Portwood said of Leah. “I know every mom says that about their kids, but she’s just excelling. She’s so beautiful; I don’t know where she gets it. It’s crazy. “She’s the greatest big sister to Emily. She loves that little girl. It’s the cutest thing. And Emily kind of looks like her when she was little. She’s the cutest little thing.” Teen Mom OG returns to MTV tonight at 10 p.m. ET View Slideshow: 16 and Pregnant Stars By the Numbers: A Depressing Breakdown
