"Teen Mom 2" star Kailyn Lowry isn't holding back when it comes to her feelings about Briana DeJesus. Kail, who is usually very outspoken about her feelings, especially when it comes to her feuds with fellow co-stars Briana and Jenelle Evans, is speaking out on the show's ratings decline, and hinted that DeJesus may actually be to blame for the show's declining ratings, which has only added fuel to the fire of the "TM2" stars' bad blood.
Kail says ratings have declined since Briana joined the 'TM2' cast
According to Radar Online, one "Teen Mom 2" fan took to social media to reveal that she believed the cast members should be thankful that Briana DeJesus joined the cast, adding that ratings must have been down if MTV decided to add a fifth mom to the cast.
However, that's not the case, according to Kailyn Lowry. Kail says that ratings were actually better before Briana joined the show, and that they have gone down since DeJesus began filming her life for the reality TV series. Lowry then added that "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." Briana then fired back with screenshots from a text conversation with one of the producers, who had told her during the conversation that the "Teen Mom 2" ratings were "very good."
Viewership is down from last season
So, who is telling the truth? It seems that over 1.7 million viewers tuned in for the Season 7A premiere, and around 1.6 million watched the 7B premiere. However, the "Teen Mom 2" Season 8 premiere, which featured Briana DeJesus for the first time, gained only a little more than 1.
4 million watchers. While it does seem that there was a decrease in viewership during Season 8 when Briana joined the cast, the show already seemed to be on the decline in Season 7, before DeJesus started airing. It appears that "Teen Mom" is doing well with viewers, but not as well as past seasons, as Kailyn Lowry confirmed via her social media account.
DeJesus is dating Lowry's ex-husband Javi Marroquin
Meanwhile, Kailyn Lowry may be calling her co-star Briana DeJesus out online due to their latest feud. Briana is currently dating Kailyn's ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, and things are getting pretty tense between the two women. In fact, they reportedly had an awkward run-in and argument last weekend during the filming of the "Teen Mom 2" reunion in California. MTV cameras reportedly caught all the drama and it will likely be shown in an upcoming episode, or in the reunion special.
