Releasing a Statement

Fans have been speculating that Bristol, 28, was preparing to quit the show and she confirmed the swirling rumors on April 1. “Teen Mom OG wasn’t a fit for me, it took away my peace … and honestly, my peace has a price tag that no one but God can afford,” she wrote.

Over It

“$ doesn’t impress me, I don’t entertain BS, and walking away from this show allows God to rebuild me (and my little fam) in the right direction,” the brunette beauty continued. “I have love for all the girls on the show, and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors!” MTV did not respond to In Touch’s request for comment at the time.

~ Too Much Drama ~

“Bristol didn’t expect Teen Mom to be such a disappointment,” an insider tells In Touch exclusively. “She thought she could help show how single moms can cope, instead it just focused on the negative.”

Not Keeping It Real

“When she started seeing the way the episodes were edited that she was done,” the source said. “Her biggest complaint was that MTV didn’t portray her life accurately.”

Another Side to the Story

Back in December 2018, the former MTV alum put the show on blast. “No matter how bad [Teen Mom OG] tries to portray my ‘life’ my babies, my family, my close friends — they know the TRUTH,” Bristol wrote.

Who Will Replace Her?

Bristol first joined the cast of TMOG last summer after Farrah Abraham was fired, but it looks like her time on the show will be short-lived.

Venting Her Frustrations

“I don’t ever sit on my couch and talk about my baby dads at much as I do when MTV is asking. I feel like that’s such a smack in the face,” Kailyn added. “At what point can I stop being portrayed as a bitter baby mama?”

Hopes for the Future

“Drama sells but from what I see the happy stories/tv personalities have a bigger following and more opportunity,” the mother-of-three concluded. “Am I wrong?” It looks like Bristol agrees!
