At least Farrah Abraham's mom, Debra, can take solace in the fact that when her daughter berates her, she treats her dad just as poorly. In a sneak preview of tonight's Teen Mom: OG finale, we see the 25-year-old boss around her father as he does manual labor … for her. Poor Debbo and Michael. Decked out in matching leopard-print yoga pants and sports bra showcasing her ginormous fake breasts, Farrah goes full taskmaster on Mike. It's sad, almost. The guy's just trying to help her clean up her garage, and she treats him like hired help … except no one would treat hired help as badly. If you can get over how she looks – which we could spend an eternity discussing – it's hard to believe the things coming out of her mouth. Fortunately, by the end, at least she appears pleased with the result. We just hope she thanked Michael or bought him dinner or something. That, or he gives her a taste of her own medicine. We doubt that he does, as Michael has always been too passive for that, but either way, at least someone pushes back a little tonight. In a separate sneak peek, we see that Farrah meets her mom's boyfriend Dr. David in this episode as well, which is even more awkward. David reveals at one point that he has been known to watch Teen Mom OG online and he is not a fan of how Farrah treats Debra on it. “She’s been through a bunch of s–t, and she gets all this stuff thrown at her. I’ve watched Teen Mom,” he continues. “It hurts me.” Buckle up, tonight's finale is gonna be good.
Matt Baier and Amber Portwood are seen here in a Teen Mom OG therapy session in which he reveals that he’s been lying about his sobriety. Raise your hand if you’re surprised? Matt Baier Busted Lying About Sobriety on Teen Mom OG If you watch Teen Mom OG online , you know that Portwood used to be the hottest mess on the MTV franchise … and her state prison. Not a small feat, in other words. Since she got out of jail, though, she’s really turned her life around, maintaining her sobriety and being a good mother to her daughter, Leah. The only issue is her gross, sketchy fiance, Matt Baier. And with this new sneak peek clip from next week’s installment, well … It’s looking like he’s even grosser and sketchier than we ever could have imagined, which is also not a small feat at this point. “I did absolutely exaggerate the length of my sobriety,” the recovering addict reveals in a therapy session he attends with Amber. “Even with her when I first met her.” You slimy, slimy douchebag. When Matt was first introduced on the reality show, he was supposed to be this person that had battled with addiction, just like Amber. Their bond, however unlikely on the surface, was largely due to the fact that he had beaten the odds and achieved sobriety, just like Amber. Yeah, apparently not so much. “He wasn’t sober when I met him,” Amber explains in the clip, but says she wasn’t duped by that fact at the time. “And I knew it.” “I can say that he would not have been sober if it wasn’t for me, because I took those f-cking pills, poured them down the toilet and threw it at him.” Matt laughs at the memory of that mental image, and says that when it happened, he “wanted to go swimming after” the pills. However, he claims that “that was the day my sobriety really kicked in … it was either her or drugs, and I wasn’t giving up her.” Well, that’s … sweet? A nice sentiment? Even inspirational? No, it’s just as sad and weird as everything else Matt does. It’s great that Matt is sober these days, and if Amber inspired him, then that’s lovely, sure. But the fact remains that this is a toxic pattern. His sobriety is one more thing he’s lied about, and it’s one more thing that he’s gotten the Teen Mom star to lie about on his behalf. He’s shady, and Amber doesn’t need a shady character in her life. Not with how far she’s come, and after all she’s been through. To her credit though, Amber says in the clip that when she first got with Matt, “I said, ‘you will not be with me if you’re doing this sh-t.'” “He made the decision.” Gary Shirley: Matt Baier’s Life is Trash! “I can’t be with someone who’s using,” she recalls, yet, if she were even in a position where she had to flush his pills down the toilet … That would mean he was using, yes? As illogical and concerning and disappointing as it may be, Amber and Matt Baier are getting married at some point in the near future. “I love Matt because I knew his potential when I met him,” she explains. “He was such a good person, he was so sweet. It was genuine.” “I can usually tell when somebody’s bullsh-tting me. He’s done so much in his life that people won’t let him move forward.” “I’ll let him move forward.” And yeah, that’s great, but she shouldn’t “let him move forward” at the risk of her own health and happiness, or her daughter’s. If he wasn’t sober when they met, and if he lied to her about how many kids he has, and if he made her think he was genuine? Forget the fact that he tried to get with Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans first, he’s just not a good dude for her in the end. No amount of these confessions or revelations or whatever is going to change that, no matter what she likes to tell herself. Agree? Disagree? Hit the comments below and tell us what you think of Amber and Matt’s complicated relationship past, present and future: Will this last?!
Kailyn Lowry isn’t exactly the pinnacle of stable … and when you combine her antics with Teen Mom, you have a veritable Sharknado of fuss and circumstance. As her book, Hustle and Heart , is nearly ready for release, we’re getting all sorts of juicy tidbits and online drama, because what else would you expect? She began one of her latest Twitter tirades talking about – what else? – relationships. Kailyn said, “People don’t value relationships anymore.” “Everyone wants instant gratification & are constantly looking for the next best thing,” she continued. “It’s a revolving door of people because as soon as there is one issue someone wants out of the entire relationship,” she explained, which makes us wonder if it’s she – or Javi – who is the one who has successions of people lining up to date one of the two. Somehow, we’re doubting this. When she was criticized for her own decision to leave her marriage to Marroquin , Kailyn fired back with heavy ammunition, passive-aggressively putting the blame on Javi’s behavior. “I walked away from something that was toxic,” she retorted. “A bad example for my children. There is a difference.” Sure, but when you just might be the toxic one, it’s high time to do some serious soul-searching to see if you, yourself, are the best example for your children. She wasn’t done there, though. “Sure,” she tweeted, “I’ve made mistakes in my relationships. But I know when things can be fixed & healthy. What I walked away from couldn’t be.” From there, the crazy spun out of control, as it normally does when Lowry embarks on her manic Twitter episodes. “Sometimes it’s better to love for a distance,” she continued. “Guess I need to be a little more girly.” “Never wanted to be the person who gives more than she gets,” Kailyn admitted. Yesterday, Kailyn was “trying not to worry about things” that she can’t control. What’s next, bathroom updates? Poop photos? She concluded, “You can tell me 100 times, or show me once.” How about just not, you know, showing us at all? Nobody cares about your book, Kailyn. Nobody cares about your estranged relationship with Javi Marroquin. Just go back to being your regular ol’ Teen Mom crazy mode , and let the fans and the haters do the work. All right?

It seems like Teen Mom 2 could really be coming to a conclusion on MTV. The TV show that made Kailyn Lowry, Leah Messer, Jenelle Evans and Chelsea Houska household names is heading into Season 8, but Kailyn has now added her two cents about what will become of the show. She seems to think it’s ending . Kailyn’s new book, “Hustle and Heart” is scheduled to be released on November 22. In preparation for the book being released, the publisher has released excerpts from it to promote it. One of the excerpts seem to all but confirm Teen Mom 2 is ending. Check out an excerpt from the book below: When we set long-term goals, we have no way of knowing how those goals will fit into our lives years down the line. When I had a child at age seventeen, I made it my mission to defy everyone’s expectations and rise above the statistics and stigmas that are stacked against me. Since 2010 I’ve been on TV, and my struggles have been my identity. Now, especially with the show coming to an end, it’s time for my accomplishments to stand out. I want to show everyone that even though I grew up like white trash and got knocked up at seventeen, I can get a Bachelor’s degree and raise children who blow people away with their manners, wit and intelligence. Now, the book definitely does state that the show is coming to an end. That would suggest the show is concluding pretty damn soon. The crazy thing about all of it is that MTV has yet to release any sort of information regarding the show ending. Ratings for the show are way higher than most shows on the network, so it’s difficult to imagine MTV wanting to get rid of it. However, it’s pretty odd that Kailyn would be throwing around words stating that the series is ending in her latest tell-all book. It’s not like the other cast members have been saying the same. With that in mind, there is a lot of story left to tell for the ladies. Chelsea Houska is very much pregnant right now with her first child to Cole DeBoer and she’s also pretty married. Leah Messer is still trying to turn her life around, but if they show that on the next season of the show, it would kind of make future seasons pointless. Finally, Jenelle Evans continues to be Jenelle Evans and has only further proven that she’s deranged in recent months. Maybe the producers realized how crazy she was when she took her kid to the beach during a hurricane . View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! Yes, no one is forgetting that any time soon. Leah and Jenelle have taken issue in the way the MTV series is edited in the past. Might they have finally plucked up the courage to quit the show that’s probably making them a lot of money? We’ll not know until anyone confirms it, but we’re taking Kailyn’s book excerpt with a pinch of salt. Would she really have fabricated that little detail to sell more copies of her book? What do you think about all of this? Is it time for the show to end? View Slideshow: 12 Most Fiery Feuds in Teen Mom History
Hey, look, everybody, it’s a really positive, happy story about Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra from Teen Mom OG! … Nah, just kidding, it’s terrible and tragic and awful. Seriously, don’t even bother ever expecting anything nice from these people. You’ll only end up disappointed . So Catelynn and Tyler are Teen Mom’s longest-lasting couple by far — they’ve been together since they were 12 years old. Surely one of the reasons their relationship has lasted so long is because when Catelynn wound up pregnant when they were 16, they placed their daughter, Carly, up for adoption. Welcoming a new baby is hard for adults, but try to give a newborn to a couple of teenagers? No wonder they’re literally the only couple to be 16 & Pregnant & Still Together. But obviously placing Carly for adoption didn’t automatically free Catelynn and Tyler from any drama. Far from it. Carly’s adoptive parents , Brandon and Theresa, have always been very kind and accommodating to Catelynn and Tyler, but they’ve also always been very hesitant to allow their daughter, or even their daughter’s face, to be shown on television. Tyler in particular has had a hard time dealing with this. In an episode earlier this season , they received news that Brandon and Theresa didn’t want them to talk about Carly so much on the show, and Tyler absolutely flipped out. Tyler Baltierra Lashes Out at Carly’s Parents “It just doesn’t make any sense to me to be told what to say and what not to say,” he said. “I don’t want to live my life like that! I can’t!” “If they say ‘We don’t want you talking about the adoption at all on TV,’ ohohoho, then we’re going to have lots of issues,” he exclaimed. “That’s all I’m saying.” Tyler even said that he’d continue talking about Carly even at the risk of Brandon and Theresa cutting off contact between them. “My reasoning,” he explained, “is because I have sacrificed enough for you to have a family and that’s fine. I’ve come to terns with that and all that’s great.” “But I will not sacrifice my voice and what I think and what I can and cannot talk about on my daily life and my personal life — cameras or no cameras.” All this is a real good example of learning how to choose your battles — is it really more important for Tyler to talk about Carly on TV than it is to talk to her? — and that’s being proven in this brand new sneak peek for next week’s episode. Catelynn and Tyler Receive Bad News About Carly In the clip, Catelynn and Tyler meet with their adoption counselor to talk about how Brandon and Theresa haven’t been responding to their texts. Uh oh. The counselor said that she’d been in touch with Theresa, and she felt it was important to go over the paperwork they’d signed for the adoption. She said that they’d all agreed on an open adoption, and that Catelynn and Tyler had indicated that they didn’t want to have any face-to-face visits, but that there was an option for them to request a meeting with Carly at her parents’ discretion. Catelynn started breaking down at this point, asking “Are we done having visits with Carly forever? Until se’s 18 I’ll hear nothing from her?” “It is f-cking frustrating,” she said through tears, “because I was 16 years old when I made this decision.” It sounds like a tough position to be in, but honestly it also sounds like a decision they’ve put themselves in. Hopefully they’re able to work things out with Brandon and Theresa soon … we sincerely just cannot take more Catelynn and Tyler sadness .
For a Canadian fella, Drake can be ruder than a Tim Horton’s customer when they’re out of Timbits the morning after a Maple leafs loss, dontchaknow. The emcee/human quivering lip has recently made an effort to shed his image as the baby panda of the rap world by going HAM on some of his rivals. Now he’s known as the baby panda who needs a nap of rap. It all started with Drake’s feud with Meek Mill . The hip hop community seemed to universally agreed that Drake had murdered Mr. Minaj with a pair of blistering diss tracks, to which Meek never responded in any compelling way. It was a clean, decisive victory, but it gave Drizzy a taste for blood. Next thing we knew Aubrey was attacking everything that moved. He’s in that part of the musician biopic where he alienates all his friends with his diva-like behavior. His business partnership with his mentor appears to be over due to the revelation that Drake banged Lil Wayne’s girlfriend . Rihanna dumped Drake because … actually, that probably had less to do with his new attitude and more to do with the fact that they had no business going out to begin with. Anyway, the point is, Drake sees nothing but targets everywhere he goes these days. And it seems that the latest shots he fired have seriously pissed off some of his biggest fans. Rapper Kid Cudi checked into rehab to be treated for depression earlier this month. Cudi revealed that he’d been experiencing suicidal thoughts and public figures from all walks of like praised the acclaimed artist for opening up about his condition. Then Drake came along and undid all that progress with an ignorant-ass track in which he dismissed Cudi’s mental illness as a “phase”: Drake: “Two Birds, One Stone” Drake also seems to imply that Cudi is addicted to prescription pills, rapping: “You stay Xan and Perc’ed up so reality set in, you don’t gotta face it.” Cudi hasn’t replied because, ya know, he’s in rehab. Unfortunately, he may not get the chance to fire back. Drake also disses Pusha T in his new song, a rapper who’s done the sort of things that Aubrey’s only read about in the liner notes of a Biggie album. For Drake’s sake we hope Push decides to settle this thing on wax. Otherwise, Drizzy might wind up one sorry hoser. View Slideshow: 29 Drake Photos and Videos That Are Pure Drizzy
Jordan Belamire has been sexually assaulted three times in her life, she says. Twice in real life, specifically, and once in virtual reality. Belamire (an alias) says she was playing a game, QuiVr, on her brother-in-law’s HTC Vive VR system when she was sexually assaulted. She’s not saying she was assaulted in the room while playing the game, she’s claiming she was violated in the virtual world of the game. According to Belamire, she was shooting zombies with strangers in QuiVr’s multiplayer mode when another player began to rub her chest. Virtually, but she says it was just as bad as the “real” thing. “I’ve been groped in real life, once in a Starbucks in broad daylight. I know what it’s like to happen in person ,” Belamire, 30, told CNN. “The shock and disgust I felt was not too far off from that.” Another user, BigBro442, had caught on that she was a woman because her mic streamed her voice through to the virtual world. Belamire yelled “Stop!” as BigBro442 grabbed her. That only made the bad situation worse, she said, as “he chased me around, making grabbing and pinching motions near my chest.” “Emboldened, he even shoved his hand toward my virtual crotch and began rubbing,” she wrote in a post that has gone viral online. Not everyone is buying into her claim that this is assault. “Please explain how someone can be assaulted in any form in VR. This seems to be someone whining just to whine,” said one commenter. Belamire temporarily suspended her Twitter as a result. Saying she is “more disturbed by the backlash than the VR incident itself,” she says she rejects the idea that this is someone harmless. Virtual Reality Sexual Assault: Is It a Real Thing? “It’s not real, therefore it’s OK; this is the amoral substructure of gaming culture,” wrote sociologist and gaming critic Katherine Cross. “This, more than anonymity, is the source of much gender and racial harassment on the internet,” she says in her essay, “Ethics for Cyborgs.” Other women have described similar experiences in VR. “I still tensed up and felt uncomfortable, and removing the headset didn’t take that feeling away,” says one gamer of her own harassment. Indeed, Belamire told CNN that the hand that stroked her body felt “very lifelike. You can make the fingers move in really realistic ways.” No, it’s not the same thing as real life, but it has an impact, she says, and one that’s severe enough that it should be taken very seriously. Some industry critics suggest that there needs to be a code of conduct in VR since its psychological effects are still new and unknown. Do you agree that this problem needs real monitoring? Or is this much ado about (sorry) virtually nothing?
Kailyn Lowry wants the whole entire world to know that her marriage to Javi Marroquin was a big, stupid joke … Or so it would seem. Over the weekend, Kailyn appeared as a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding, and the picture she shared … Well, friends, it was pretty heartless. These dang ol’ Teen Moms are just out of control these days, aren’t they? Over the last few days, Lowry’s been pretty passive-aggressive … even by her own normal standards. She’s been tweeting and retweeting things like crazy, such as, “Your boyfriend or girlfriend is supposed to be a stress-reliever. A breath of fresh air. IDK what y’all be doing.” She also said that she can’t relate to feeling appreciated, that she “doesn’t hold grudges” and “gives too many chances.” Kailyn then linked that to “dreading tomorrow more than anything,” and “hate doctors offices,” making us wonder what her medical deal is (we won’t ask about her emotional deal, since it’s obviously she’s off-the-chain nuts). What might be the worst bit of this whole wedding thing is that Kailyn’s totally overtaking the bride’s day and making it about her. Just last week, Kailyn and Javi were feuding (again) (no, like, again again) and Kailyn tweeted some pretty terrible things. She said, “If you say you’re gonna do something, do it.” “Just f–king do it.” “When people you once trusted use manipulation and guilt to control a situation,” she added, clearly not a master grammarist. Javi hit back, however, and responded with, “Don’t make me expose you for who you really are,” which, honestly, we really wish he would. He continued, “@ me next time. If you wanna go there, we can.” “If you use all your ammo to go for the kill, you won’t have any bullets for the next guy,” he said. “Remember that.” Kailyn was far from finished, though (because of course she wasn’t) and responded the next morning, “Never good enough for someone who isn’t ready.” We’re pretty sure who’s not good enough for … well, let’s just leave it at Kailyn’s a big, dumb d–k, and Javi’s no better for goading her. Though if we had to choose? We’d be Team Javi the whole way. The audacity this chick has talking about manipulation. So grimy.

If you watch Teen Mom: OG online , you know that Farrah Abraham is a rude, loud-mouthed, ignorant bully. In other words, it didn’t come as a huge shock when we learned that Farrah will be voting for Donald Trump . As with Trump, Farrah’s behavior might be amusing if she held zero influence over anyone else, and if there were nothing at stake. Sophia Abraham Goes OFF on Her Grandfather! Unfortunately, Farrah has a daughter, and as you can see in the above preview for this week’s episode, that daughter takes many of her behavioral cues from her profoundly disturbed mother. The clip shows Farrah’s long-suffering father, Michael Abraham, asking Sophia to help him carry some things in from the car. “Sophia I need some help, will you help me?” Michael asks, even going so far as to offer to pay the 7-year-old for a few minuted of her time. “No, I’m busy texting my friend,” Sophia replies. “You don’t need help,” she adds. Farrah eventually intervenes, but only because Sophia’s yelling is preventing her from concentrating on her “work.” We’ll leave it to you to imagine what task Farrah could be involved with that requires 100% percent of her brain power. She’s probably trying to figure out how Facebook always knows her name like that. Anyway, the matter is eventually settled entirely on Sophia’s terms, as she agrees to help her grandfather only if the adults give her exactly what she wants. It’s like watching a 7-year-old hostage negotiator at work. The episode hasn’t even aired yet, and fans are already slamming Farrah’s parenting – or lack thereof. Obviously, this is far from the first time that Farrah’s been criticized for allowing her daughter to get away with murder. Remember the time she signed Farrah up for Snapchat and she was immediately booted for messaging strangers at all hours of the night? Or how about the time Farrah talked about Sophia’s future porn career ? This feels like a good time to remind you that Sophia is seven years old! You might be on a watch list just for reading that sentence, and you’ll only have Farrah to blame. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Parenting Fails: A Brief History of WTF?! Watch Teen Mom: OG online at TV Fanatic to relive all of Farrah’s many parenting pratfalls. If you’re soon to become a parent yourself, take notes on every single scene, and by the end, you’ll have a comprehensive list of exactly what not to do.
Catelynn Lowell isn’t afraid of showing it all off for the camera — which is why the Teen Mom’s battle with mental illness is such big news. Lowell opened up in a deleted Teen Mom scene, talking about her struggle with mental illness and how she’s going to approach talking to her daughter, Nova, about it. Catelynn Lowell: My Mental Illness Truth In the clip, she said, “Honestly, I feel like the only thing I want [my daughter] to know about mental illness period, is if you are starting to feel a different way, extreme emotions…that it’s okay to be honest and say you’re feeling that way.” “Not to feel like you’re crazy,” she continued, “because that’s what I used to tell myself all the time – that I was crazy.” “If you are feeling certain things, or if things are extreme, it’s okay to feel them,” she said. “It’s just how you work through it and you know you have to come to a realization that it’s going to be over.” “You feel like sometimes it’s going to be forever in that moment,” Lowell admitted. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Dads, Husbands & Boyfriends Ranked: Who’s #1?! It’s gotta be hard, though, when you have a Teen Mom douchebag for a husband, who doesn’t seem to fully support you, and who, in fact, fat shames you on top of your own insecurities. In a previous episode of the reality show, Lowell’s husband, Tyler Baltierra, said, “I don’t want no heifer for a wife,” brutalizing both her and the English language simultaneously. Throughout the airing, he goaded her and grumbled about her very existence. And the show in question was shot just six days after Lowell returned from a rehab to help manage her anxiety and depression. What a charmer. In recent weeks, Tyler has also shamed Catelynn for even having depressive tendencies, acting like she can’t do anything right – even make it to her doctor’s appointments. Tyler himself admitted that he’s currently in therapy in order to “work on [the] delivery of messages and opinions,” but we’re calling absolute BS on that one. If anybody needs intensive therapy in this couple, it’s Baltierra. … And we don’t think his therapist is helping him work on ways to tell his wife that he “don’t want no chub.” View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness
