TEEN Mom star Cory Wharton was slammed for “supporting” Sea World as fans informed him that “animals are suffering” after their family trip.
Cory is a father of two, and shares his oldest child, 3-year-old daughter Ryder, with his ex, MTV star Cheyenne Floyd.

The 29-year-old took to Instagram to share a post featuring plenty of photos of his adventure to San Diego’s Sea World, as the first pic showed him posing alongside his girlfriend, Taylor Selfridge, and their daughter, 10-month-old Mila.
Little Ryder was also a part of the snap as she smiled next to her father.
Other photos in the post included selfies of Ryder and Mila, one of Cory, and even a short clip of the family interacting with the fish.
Cory captioned it: “Hear me out quick, So I had a moment when we were watching the dolphins and I started to tear up and I’ll tell you guys why I started to tear up because, when I was little my grandma used to take me to Sea World and Busch Gardens down in Florida.”
He continued: “It just kind of tripped me out because of how happy I was and now I’m doing this with MY OWN family and my two little girls and amazing girlfriend.
“It was just a moment that really made me really happy and it made me realize that I’m doing things the right way and just proud of who I’ve become…”
However, people were not happy at all that Cory had visited the controversial amusement park as they took to the comments section to react.
One person wrote: “Why are people still going to sea world? The abuse these animals get is horrible. But it doesn’t matter right cuz it’s not directly affecting you?”
Another added: “Sea world ain’t it dude,” while a third chimed in, “Can’t believe you would support Sea World – ignorance or you just don’t care about the welfare of these highly sentient animals? So disappointing.”
Some even reference the documentary Blackfish, which focuses on a killer whale held by SeaWorld.
“Watch blackfish on Netflix u will never wanna go back,” one person said.
While Cory is busy getting blasted by fans, he’s also had to see his first baby momma not only expecting her second child, but also soon buying a house with her new boyfriend Zach Davis.
He told Cheyenne, 28, on a recent Teen Mom OG episode: “Listen, I’m done these crazy phone calls.
“First, you tell me you’re in a relationship, now you wanna call me and tell me you want to buy a house. Like, you know what that third one is?”
“What’s the third one? Let’s hear it,” Cheyenne responded, to which Cory said: “You better slow your f**king roll, fast.”
The scenes were shot in late 2020, before news that Cheyenne and Zach are now expecting their first baby together.
