TEEN Mom fans have resurfaced old photos of Maci Bookout, Chelsea Houska, and Leah Messer and are ripped them for their tans.
The MTV trio has faced scrutiny for their looks, cosmetic procedures, and more through the years.
Leah Messer and other Teen Mom stars are being slammed for bad fake tans
Chelsea Houska has previously faced similar backlash and still does
Maci Bookout has toned down her look significantly
Recently, a Reddit user resurfaced old photos of the Teen Mom stars sporting some questionable fake tans.
Maci, for her part, posed in front of a mirror in a photo, rocking a tube top and skin several shades darker than her usual.
In another photo, she appeared to be soaking up the sun while sporting a layer of tanner.
Chelsea appeared in grabs from early episodes of Teen Mom looking tanned to the point of being nearly orange.
More Teen Mom
The Reddit thread also included grabs of her with blond hair, which appeared to intensify the look of her tan, and recent photos of her wearing sunless tanner.
Amber Portwood and Leah Messer were also slammed in the post, which featured photos of them with bad tans.
The West Virginia native appeared in stills from reunions and more, extremely tan.
The Teen Mom cast members were ripped in the comments section by critics.
“Oompa, Loompa, do-pa-dee-do,” one commenter wrote, apparently comparing the pair to characters from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Another commenter wrote: “I rather stay pale like Casper the friendly ghost than be orange with a spray tan.”
“Omg i could b***h for hours on this subject. Maci was always splotchy. Always. Girl, loofah that shit beforehand. Amber was streaky. Many of them had orange faces with white necks. None of them know how to blend into their hairline. I cant believe no one stopped them from themselves,” someone else added.
Not all the comments were negative.
Several fans confessed that they, too, had been sporting questionable tans during that time period.
“Tbh I was their age during this time and fake tans were a thing. At least where I lived. Never looked orange tho lol,” one Reddit user wrote.
Another added: “TBH, during that time, it was like we were aiming at getting an orange tan.”
This is hardly the first time the subject of fake tans has come up in regards to the Teen Mom cast.
Chelsea, in particular, is still regularly scrutinized for her fake tan.
ORANGE YOU EMBARRASSED?
Amid claims that she was blackfishing fans, the HGTV star suffered another tan blunder.
In May, the mom of four shared photos alongside three friends over Memorial Day Weekend, as they dressed up for a girl’s day.
The TV personality sported a black off-the-shoulder top, jean shorts, tan booties, and a matching tan satchel bag with a cowgirl hat.
In a second photo, Chelsea posed for a more close-up shot as she celebrated the holiday at a local bar.
But fans were more concerned about her intense spray tan, as they took to Reddit to slam her for overdoing the “orange.”
“The fringe bandanas, the boots, the hats and the fake tans… enough already. It is silly and you look ridiculous,” one mocked.
“It’s amazing that after all these years chelsea still can’t manage to apply her tanner correctly,” a second agreed.
A third put shortly, ” Holy orange,” while a fourth complained, “Way too much cheap bronzing lotion.”
“I can smell it through my screen!” another remarked.
“Chelsea needs to give up the spray tan or whatever kind of tan she does. Her legs look terrible. Who even tans like that anymore? I like my pale ghost skin just fine,” a final ranted.
Chelsea has faced criticism for years as fans have accused her of “blackfishing” with her fake tanner and incessant use of photo filters.
As for the others, fans tend to be more focused on their plastic surgeries – or those they perceive they’ve had.
LEAH’S NEW LOOK
While Leah hasn’t recently been critiqued for her tan, she has been slammed for her new teeth.
Fans previously pleaded with the mom of three not to have the surgery, but she moved forward with it anyway.
After having her teeth done, the reality star took her Instagram Stories to post a selfie from her car on Tuesday.
The TV personality looked entirely different as she flashed a bright white flawless smile with red lipstick.
Leah showed off her dark hair and RayBan sunglasses as she flaunted her new look.
The MTV star also shared video footage of her appointment, where she spoke to the camera to promote her plastic surgeon’s office.
The mother of three wore a bright pink shirt as she addressed the camera in the clip, saying: “Hey guys, what’s up it’s Leah Messer from MTV and I am here at Smile Savvy for my very first veneers appointment with Dr. Julia.
“I’m super excited and nervous,” she admitted.
Later, Leah shared another behind-the-scenes video of her going under the knife and then smiling after the surgery was complete.
But the TV star did not have support from her fandom when initially announcing her decision, as dozens begged her not to have “unnecessary” plastic surgery.
