TEEN Mom fans were shocked as Chelsea Houska looked unrecognizable during her new Instagram Live session after the “blackfishing” scandal, in which her skin seemed much more tan than the girls.
Chelsea, 30, carried her 10-month-old baby, Walker, in her arms while they were live on Instagram.
The former Teen Mom 2 star covered her face with glasses and wore a puffy gray sweater.
Walker looked adorable in her onesie as she stared at the camera.
Chelsea appeared to have fuller lips as her hair was pulled back into a messy bun.
She also had a nose ring on during the online session.
THE COMMENTS
When the snapshots of the MTV star surfaced on Reddit, users jumped to the comments section and slammed her look.
One Redditor said: “Wow. The girl looks rough.”
Another Redditor wrote: “This is not a good look for her.”
A third Redditor added: “This can’t be Chelsea.”
A fourth person stated: “Slow down all the injections.”
A commentator chimed in: “New lips. Who’s this?”
In addition to Walker, Chelsea and her husband, Cole DeBoer – who were dressed to the nines for a Christmas party – are the parents of Watson, four, and Layne, three.
Her baby daddy Adam Lind is the father of her daughter Aubree, 12.
THE CONTROVERSY
Back in mid-December, Chelsea had snapped a photo of herself alongside her three daughters Aubree, Layne, and Walker.
The photo – in which she looked more tan than her girls- appeared to be from a family photoshoot held back in November.
The controversial snap made its way onto Reddit, where fans questioned the MTV mom’s tan.
Teen Mom fans accused her of “blackfishing” and how she had reportedly attempted to appear from another race.
THE BACKLASH
One fan wrote: “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think she adopted those kids lol. I don’t get why she wants to appear an entirely different race!”
Another fan said: “It’s weird how people are coming to her defense about her way too dark makeup color/skin color. I guess it rubs me wrong when white girls try so hard to look brown.”
Several of Chelsea’s followers jumped to her defense in the comments section.
One supporter chimed in: “I’m sure she’s a wonderful mother, she just has a ridiculous fake tan.”
Another supporter pointed out: “Who cares about the damn tan? This is a beautiful picture and I’m sure those kids are happy.”
A commentator argued: “It’s not my taste but if it makes her feel confident and beautiful, then what’s the harm?”
SWEATER WEATHER
Recently, the Teen Mom star promoted the release of her “distressed sweater” from her fashion line.
She said the feel of the sweater was “amazing” and “so soft” while the “thickness was so good.”
In the next Story, the caption mentioned that the sweater came in “three colors.”
While turning around and showing off booty, the ex MTV star revealed she had switched to medium size and could fit in a small size too.
