Jenelle Evans reportedly shared the news of Kailyn Lowry's pregnancy before she did. On February 23, Lowry took to her blog to officially confirm the rumors regarding her pregnancy, but before she did, Evans was seen speaking of the surprising news on her Twitter page. After being called out for coming forward with the baby news before Lowry's confirmation, Evans responded.
Last night, after a fan tweeted to the "Teen Mom 2" star, labeling her revelation "unfair" and "disrespectful" to Lowry, Evans explained that she was unaware that Lowry hadn't already confirmed the news.
As she told the fan, she thought the pregnancy had been confirmed "by everyone" earlier that day. "My bad," she said in a tweet that appears to have been deleted a short time later. "I just got done filming and I heard the news," she continued. "Didn't know she was hiding it."
