Was a 'Teen Mom 2' Cast Member Fired from the Reality Series?
Season 10 of Teen Mom 2 premiered back in May, and even before the new season made its debut on MTV, fans were not happy about the new change. At last season's reunion, cast member Chelsea DeBoer announced that she wouldn't be coming back to film the franchise after being on the show for nearly 11 years. Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant star Ashley Jones was picked to take Chelsea's place. As reported by Monsters & Critics , one fan wrote a very lengthy comment on Instagram about the departure of Chelsea and the addition of Ashley. They wrote, "I'm definitely not going to watch Teen Mom 2, especially that Chelsea is not on anymore. I'm sticking with the Teen Mom OG. I like it way better. They should have just added the other two original girls from Teen Mom 2 Kail and Leah to the Teen Mom OG instead of adding new people. This show will never be the same again." In May, Chelsea took to social media and posted photos of her and her family on Instagram , and fans quickly commented. One fan wrote, "WE NEED YOU BACK ON TEEN MOM ALREADY." It seems that the ratings went down because of the absence of Chelsea and fans not liking Ashley. From low ratings, it appears that someone from the show was fired.
