Back Off, Mom-Shamers! Kailyn, Catelynn and More ‘Teen Mom’ Stars Clap Back at Parenting Police

Chelsea vs. The Braces Naysayers

In June 2019, Chelsea Houksa shared a photo of her 10-year-old daughter Aubree smiling wide for the camera — flashing her adorable braces. That sparked a debate in the comments from fans who felt she was too young for braces.

Sassy Response

One fan said they “refused” to get braces for their 10-year-old and Chelsea stated the obvious in a rare clapback.

Kailyn vs. the Kid Fashion Police

In September 2019, Kailyn shared this adorable photo of her sons. She mentioned that Lincoln, 6, and Isaac, 10, were dressed for “Wacky Wednesday” at school. What should have been a cute moment turned into an opportunity for trolls to throw shade.

Mama Bear Mode

When a fan pointed out that Lincoln’s outfit didn’t look “very wacky,” Kail quickly shut down the troll for hating on her child’s fashion choices.

Kailyn vs. Diaper-Shamers

Unfortunately, that’s not the first time Kail has come under fire by the parenting police. In January 2020, she got heat from fans who criticized her because her youngest son, Lux, was still wearing diapers.

Mama Knows Best

Kail hit back, making it clear that she will potty train her 2-year-old on his own time.

Kailyn vs. the Food-Shamers

In March 2020, Kail shared a photo of her grocery haul which seemed to include a lot of packaged foods like mini muffins, frozen waffles, fruit snacks and mini potato chip bags. Fans did not think the foods that Kail purchased for her three growing boys were “healthy.”

“So much processed, sugar food,” one fan wrote. “Just a bunch of junk,” another fan commented.

Shutting it Down

Instead of responding in the comments, Kail chose a different route. The following morning, she shared a photo of her son Lux enjoying a yummy-looking breakfast featuring sliced fresh strawberries and fresh blueberries.

“You only feed them junk food,” Kail captioned the photo, mocking the mom-shamers in her previous post.

Brianna vs. the Food-Shamers

Food is a hot topic among mom-shamers. Brianna, 19, found herself facing some backlash over Braeson’s breakfast in March 2020. After posting the photo of her son with his grapes and blueberries on Instagram, she got flooded with tons of comments from concerned fans who accused Brianna of not slicing the fruit correctly.

Brianna Claps Back

Brianna tried to respond to fans individually until she decided it was best to alter her caption to include a disclaimer.

Leah vs. Cheer-Shamers

The Teen Mom 2 star has come under fire for allowing her daughters to wear makeup in the past, so the mom-shamers had a field day with the photos she posted of daughter Aleeah from a cheer competition in February 2020.

Morals?

One mom-shamer even went as far as to insinuate that Leah wasn’t teaching her daughter “morals” because she allowed her to wear her cheer uniform, which included a short skirt, and stage hair and makeup.

But Leah’s favorite way to deal with the parenting police is to kill them with silence.

Leah vs. Halloween-Shamers

“When they want #ArianaGrande #Beyonce andddd [sic] a #witch … Mom makes it happen,” Leah captioned this adorable photo of her three daughters dressed up in their costumes on Halloween 2019.

Rude

One fan felt the need to predict what Leah could look forward to in the future with Aleeah (a.k.a. Gracie).

Too Grown?

But again, Leah prefers not to engage with or respond to the mom-shamers.

Leah vs. The Discipline Shamers

Leah came under fire for the way her daughter Addie behaved in a scene on the December 15, 2020, episode of Teen Mom 2. After telling a producer she got gum on her mic pack, she refused to take it off when the producer asked her nicely. After the producer asked her for a second time to please take the gum off, Leah stepped in and passed a bag to her daughter to remove the candy. “Addie, you know better with the gum,” the West Virginia native scolded her daughter.

Don’t Come for Her Baby

After a fan tweeted about Addie’s “pitiful” behavior because she did not listen to an adult, Leah defended her little girl.

Catelynn vs. the Hair-Shamers

The Teen Mom OG star likes to experiment with her look, so of course, her daughter Nova also wanted to get in on the glam fun. Catelynn shared a photo of Nova’s new pink tips on Instagram in February 2020.

Getting Ahead of the Hate

But the seasoned mom-shaming clapback pro added a disclaimer in her caption, making it clear that there was no dye used during Nova’s hair transformation process.

Ashley Jones vs. Smoking Police

The Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant star came under fire after she posted a video of herself learning the TikTok dance to Megan Thee Stallion’s “I’m a Savage.” Fans accused her of smoking in the house where her daughter, Holly Bella, lives. Even though Ashley denied that she was smoking, fans still came for her in the comments.

No Smoke?

One fan was convinced Ashley was smoking, even though she denied the claims.

Ashley Hits Back

She clapped back and explained how it was impossible that fans saw smoke in the video because there simply was none. Nevertheless, Ashley got so much hate that she ended up deleting the video.
