Teen Mom: Kailyn Lowry Talks About Dark Secrets Of Reality Shows!
Kailyn Lowry gained fame through her years-long stint on Teen Mom. She was just 16 years old when she was expecting her first child. At that time, she was in a miserable condition, so she decided to apply for Teen Mom. Soon, she got selected, and her life changed for the better. After dedicating a good portion of her life to the show, she decided to move on for better prospects. During the Give Them Lala podcast with Lala Kent, Kailyn revealed that many aspects of the show were fake.
She explained that the makers filmed them for six months and then condensed all that footage into four minutes of screen time. It felt disheartening, but it happened constantly. Kailyn added that she started pushing back at producers, questioning directions, and revealing more reality show secrets. The makers made them wear wigs and shoot scenes if they weren’t present for big moments.
They even made them change contact names in their phones to producers’ names. This allowed them to create fake back-and-forth text messages. The diva explained, “So, for example, if my ex texted me something outrageous and they weren’t there for the real moment, they would have me change my producer’s name in my phone to be my ex’s.” She continued, “Then they would text me a similar message so they could get an on-screen reaction.”
The text messages never happened in real-time. The cast referred to these moments as pickups. Previously, there were several accusations that cast members wore wigs and shot scenes, and Kailyn has now confirmed them. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for all the latest Teen Mom updates.
