Teen Mom stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra react after fan fury over pregnancy joke
'The world can't take jokes anymore,' Lowell's husband Baltierra said.
Teen Mom star Catelynn Lowell's fans are furious after the TV star took to social media to spread a pregnancy joke on Tuesday morning.
Initially, Lowell shared her thoughts on having a third child with her husband Tyler Baltierra (also a Teen Mom star) on Twitter. "Wahhh I'm ready for another baby @TylerBaltierra," Lowell wrote and Tyler replied, "Me too babe."
A few hours after the couple showed their interest in having another child Lowell shared a photo of a cartoon character on a sonogram image to her 2.6 million fans and followers on Instagram.
"Proud to announce a new baby Baltierra @tylerbaltierramtv," she wrote in the caption.
Lowell received backlash from some of her fans and followers for the pregnancy joke.
"Ignorant & in poor taste. Come on Cait!" one of her fans said, while another fan said, "So sad some people think it is ok to joke about pregnancy. I have had several miscarriages and my son was still born 1/3/15 @32 weeks pregnant. 1 in 4 women experience pregnancy loss. You can't begin to know how hurtful this is. Life is a gift...not a joke grow up."
She immediately followed the pregnancy announcement with another image alongside a caption, "I'm just kidding...but seriously I would love one soon."
As the hate grew louder, Lowell and Tyler spoke up online.
"Apparently the world can't take jokes anymore...don't worry #TeenMomOG will be back on the air soon so we can disappoint you some more," Baltierra wrote. "I actually love all of those critics. The fake profile pics & repetitive insults based on the lack of creativity...they just crack me up."
Lowell shared a cryptic message that read, "Why don't u just go back to ur real family? Not like we have mattered anyways.. to u it's just the thought that mattered."
