TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry was accused of “cultural appropriation” by fans for having dreadlocks in a resurfaced photo.
The photo, which fans claimed to be taken in 2016, resurfaced on Reddit.
Kailyn’s, now 29, resurfaced photo had her smiling at the camera with faux locs piled up onto her head.
The fan who reposted the photo and started the thread captioned it: “Don’t.”
Another fan commented: “And she had the nerve to tell Joe not to dress Isaac like a thug.”
A third fan agreed and posted: “How ironic for her to wear faux locs, yet Joe cutting Isaac’s hair made him look like a ‘thug.'”
Yet a fourth fan simply called Kailyn a “hot cultural appropriating mess.”
A fifth commented: “I really can’t believe she thought this would go over well for her.”
READY FOR WAR?
Kailyn’s Teen Mom co-star Briana DeJesus, 27, hired a new lawyer to help take down Kailyn at an upcoming court hearing in their defamation case.
Kailyn sued Briana for defamation in June after she claimed the star “physically beat” her baby daddy Christopher Lopez and broke into the home of his mother.
The feuding Teen Mom 2 stars have a court hearing set for March 29 to rule on Briana’s anti-slapp motion, which protects a person’s freedom of speech, that was filed in August to have the case dismissed.
The Celeb Report can exclusively reveal the Nevada-based law firm Randazza Legal Group, who is representing Briana, filed an “admission to appear” for attorney Trey A. Rothell.
The attorney is a member of the Randazza Legal Group and “requested permission to appear in this court for this cause only,” as he is not a member of the Florida Bar, where the case is taking place.
A judge has yet to rule on the request.
The mom of two strengthening her legal team comes just a month before her court showdown with Kailyn on March 29.
BABY MAMAS ARE BACK
Teen Mom 2 is set to return to MTV for it’s 11th season on March 8.
The new season will see Ashley, Briana, Jade, Kailyn and Leah navigating parenthood.
The outlet also reported that Teen Mom: Family Reunion has been renewed for season 2 by MTV.
Kailyn was one of the few moms to not film on the reunion spinoff, including Mackenzie who claimed she was snubbed on the invite.
FINALLY HOME
Kailyn is finally sleeping and eating in her new $750K Delaware mansion after months of delays.
The Teen Mom 2 star, who has been slowly moving in her new home since the start of the year, revealed on Instagram that she and her kids spent their first full night under their new roof.
Kailyn called it a “semi-success.”
“I forgot blankets, I forgot pillows,” she admitted. “[my friend] Bone bought me blankets, but I still didn’t have pillows.”
The 29-year-old said she had a good time on night one, and was asleep by 11 p.m, however, the next morning was the real nightmare.
She confessed: “Somehow I missed packing my underwear and my socks and my bras.
“So I had to get up and then go to the old house and get some stuff… What a night.”
Kailyn has already made some early unique memories in her new home, not all of which will be thought of fondly.
Just a week ago, while decorating the mansion, gunshots could be heard outside of her home during an Instagram live.
The reality star and her friend Bone let the cameras roll while they were unpacking her bedroom furniture, in a clip that was captured by the fan account @teenmomchatter.
The video began when the TV personality heard a repeated banging sound that at first, they mistook for knocking.
“Oh my God did you guys hear that? Someone’s at the door!” Kailyn screamed while picking up the camera.
“Oh my God come on,” she nervously laughed while running with her friend through the house.
The MTV star ranted: “Y’all what the f**k. Was that a gunshot? Someone’s here.”
Kailyn and Bone then paced nervously through the property, looking for the source of the sound.
“Is that gunshots? What is that?” the podcast host asked, then pausing as the sound could be heard once more.
“They’re hunting. Those are gunshots,” her friend explained, adding: “It’s hunting, you live in the country.”
Kailyn then spoke to fans, saying: “You guys, it felt like someone was knocking. That was wild.”
