Reality TV is, perhaps, not the best place to raise your family. Which would seem like an obvious assessment, but now we have "Teen Mom 2" to provide ample proof that family drama gets amplifyed 1000x every time it lands on television.
The latest episode of MTV's reality show spurned on a massive feud between Barbara Evans, mother of the show's teenage mother Jenelle Evans, and Nathan Griffith, boyfriend of the same former teen mom.
Here's what happened on the episode, according to MTV.com. Barbara accused Griffith of spending too much money on a car seat, which prompted this bitter response:
"We're two adults who take care of our own s**t. Your daughter is an adult. I'm an adult. So you don't tell another adult how they should do things. It's wrong and it's disrespectful."
As the argument continued, Griffith continued to spit poison at his sort-of mother-in-law.
"Barbara, when she has this baby and when we get married, you know who her family's gonna be?" Griffith said. "Me, Jace and Kaiser. That's our family. My mom, my sisters - that's secondary."
As well, previous feuds have included accusations that Barbara is abusive and may be an alcoholic.
According to Hollywood Life, this particular screaming match wasn't the only drama in the episode- another "Teen Mom," Chelsea Houska, found out that her ex-boyfriend was arrested while he was supposed to be watching their daughter.
However, Reality Tea claims that when the same teenage mothers got together for an MTV special, "Ask the Moms," they were all in high spirits. So either this drama is a little on the manufactured side, or these mothers are skilled at hiding their drama for the right venues.
Either way, it's best to keep your private life off of a TV show.
Check back soon for the latest on all the "Teen Mom 2" stars- especially Evans, as her family is a continual source of drama.
