Kailyn Lowry Called Out For Racist Remarks: I Don't Want My Son Dressing Like a Hispanic Thug!

June 11, 2020

Over the course of June 2020, many reality stars have been called out for racially insensitive comments or actions.

From Vanderpump Rules firing half its cast to Taylor Selfridge getting canned by MTV, it's been a wild few weeks.

Some have lost their jobs. Others have been spared by the court of public opinion after issuing heartfelt apologies.

Or at least apologies that passed as heartfelt, and perhaps actions that were long enough or innocent enough ago.

But it's a fine line, to be sure, and the latest to find herself in hot water with her own fan base is Kailyn Lowry.

As has often been the case in recent weeks, Lowry is in trouble for comments she made quite some time ago.

Kail's remarks, like many others across the TV world, have been reevaluated online in light of recent of events. 

Will she save her job by saying the right things - or make the situation worse with her efforts to make it go away?

What did she say and when, and what actually happened compared to some of the rumors online? You be the judge:

1. Busted

Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry has never been one to mince words, for better or worse. This is part of the reason a lot of fans love her, but she's also raised plenty of eyebrows over the years. And here we are again. She's in some trouble over some insensitive comments she made toward her first baby daddy, Jo Rivera, back in 2014.

2. In Deep

Kail and Jo had a rough ride during their relationship, but seem to have settled into a nice co-parenting routine in recent years. Now, it may be up to Jo (and to a certain extent, the Teen Mom-watching public who has followed their ups and downs) to decide if Kail deserves forgiveness.

3. Yikes

Kail's longtime rival and Teen Mom 2 co-star, Briana DeJesus, tweeted this clip of a problematic conversation between Kail and Jo from years ago on the MTV franchise.

4. Angry Bri

"Wtf did I just watch. Smh," Briana tweeted alongside the clip, which is all the more powerful given that it's Kailyn on screen. Briana talks hella s--t sometimes, and is never one to mince words either, but this is what it is - an actual scene from Teen Mom 2.

5. Beloved By Her Bosses?

When a fan suggested that DeJesus is trying to get Lowry fired, Bri didn't exaclty deny it. Who knows if that's really her intention. But she shot back, "She won’t get fired. Mtv favors her too much."

6. The Aftermath

Briana obviously has firsthand knowledge of Kail and her relationship with her bosses. DeJesus dated Javi Marroquin, the father of Kailyn's second child, for a brief period, and co-stars with them both on MTV. But regardless, it's hard to imagine Lowry won't experience some kind of fallout for her remarks - especially since fans seem very upset by what she said.
