From trying to get another TV show to trying to get people to believe the ‘Teen Mom’ cast is crazy, it’s been a busy week for the stars/former stars of the Teen Mom franchise! In an effort to bring you up-to-date on the latest , and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile.

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…

Kail may be in her “Mom-Ager Era”– if her plans for a new show for her eldest son come to fruition! 

During a recent interview on ‘s Give Them Lala podcast, Kail revealed that, although her son Isaac— who now goes by his middle name Elliott–“doesn’t want to be associated with ‘Teen Mom,'” he is still open to doing more reality TV. In fact, Kail told Lala that a reality show is currently being formulated for her family.

“Now I’m in works with another production company that would be [doing] a show not necessarily about me. They want it to be about Isaac,” Kail said. “They want it to be told through Isaac’s eyes. So we’ll see how that goes.”

Kail acknowledged that the show may not come to fruition.

“With production and TV, you can be under contract, they can buy a concept, they can buy a pilot. They can do all of this stuff and it never happens,” she said. “So that’s sort of where we’re at.” 

As The Ashley previously reported, Elliott officially “came out” as gay on Kail’s Barely Famous podcast last month. He also used the opportunity to reveal that he is now going by his middle name, in part to separate himself now from who he was on ‘Teen Mom 2.’

“I think it would be cool because it would tell his story,” Kail said of Elliott’s potential show. “Some of the babies from ‘Teen Mom’ have been on TV for all 16 years but I think Isaac does have a lot to share, and there are a lot ‘unique’ circumstances in our family because I do have four fathers to my children, and I‘m neighbors with one of them [Elijah], so there’s a lot of stuff going on.” 

Later in the podcast, Kail talked about how Elliott wants to distance himself from anything related to ‘Teen Mom.’

“He wants to do things his way so it’s a little uncomfortable when people are [associating him with] ‘Teen Mom,'” she said. “Now, if [we had been on] a different show, I think he would have a different reaction but I think there is a stigma attached to ‘Teen Mom.’ 

Elliott is not the only spawn of Kail to have stars in their eyes. In addition to the potential reality show about Elliott, Kail told Lala that her seven-year-old son Lux also wants to be famous.

“He wants to be in movies, and I believe him!” Kail said. “Since we live in Delaware, there’s not a whole lot of anything going on, audition-wise. I’d have to be in LA or New York and I just don’t have the time and resources to do that with sports, and everything else. So, unfortunately, no [he’s not auditioning], but I think he still has a promising future in comedy if nothing else.” 

Back in April, Kail revealed that Elliott was interested in becoming an actor. 

“He wants an agent now and wants to act,” she said in an interview with People. “And so, I love that for him.” 

While Elliott literally began appearing on TV at birth, Kail noted that the teen has only dipped his toe into a public-facing life at this point– first by appearing on  and ‘Teen Mom 2’ and more recently by entering the “young influencer space.” Kail said she and her sons have conversations about the pros and cons of being a public figure, with the mom-of-seven claiming that she understands her son “not wanting to be recognized publicly, but also loving the community that he’s built online.” 

“He has a very big social media presence and he loves theater and drama and that sort of thing,” she said. “I worry about the conflict that he will be presented with if he ever was to get an agent and be in movies because part of it is being publicly recognized, but then you want your privacy.” 

’s never-ending TikTok crashout continued this week with the (former?) ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ star firing off a new round of insults at the entire ‘Teen Mom’ cast. 

In a clip from her latest TikTok Live stream of consciousness, Amber referred to the cast of ‘Teen Mom’ as “those girls,” before going on to call them “a joke.”

“ … I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna say it with everything in my heart,” Amber said. “Those girls are a joke. A joke. Right? 

“Let them write your stories and be a joke,” she continued. “And if you have anything to say to me, then why don’t you ever come to me and say it instead of just making the little videos?” 

As fans know, Amber got into it with ‘Next Chapter’ star back in May after Ashley called out Amber’s poor parenting following the ‘Next Chapter’ season finale. Amber went on to fire back at Ashley on the social media platform, and weeks later, the two faced off on TikTok Live, where they continued to dole out insults at one another. 

Amber seemed to reference her and Ashley’s social media squabble this week on TikTok Live, even going on to imply to her virtual BFF that you can’t compare her to the rest of the ‘Teen Mom’ cast.

“I think that every girl on ‘Teen Mom’ made that mistake of having a baby at a young age,” Mr. Hoodz said to Amber, in an attempt to remind the mom of two that she and the other girls from ‘Teen Mom’ do, in fact, have at least one major thing in common. 

“That’s the only thing I have I common anymore with these girls,” Amber insisted. “I used to think they were this and that, and all this, that and that, [but] they’re jokes … .”

took to social media this week to give an update on where things currently stand with her baby daddies, and , and what the two men are doing to improve the relationships with their respective daughters. 

As fans of ‘Teen Mom’ know, Briana shares seven-year-old Stella with Luis and 13-year-old Nova with Devoin. While Devoin has maintained a more-consistent presence in both Nova and Stella’s lives over the years, Briana confirmed this week that Luis is still involved in Stella’s life, albeit in a small capacity.    

In a clip reposted by @teenmomshaderoom__ this week, Briana recorded herself opening a package that Luis sent for Stella’s recent birthday. Briana– who explained that she was planning to wrap the gifts before giving them to Stella– revealed to fans that Luis sent Stella two perfumes that she had been wanting. After showing the gift to fans, Briana went on to talk about where Luis’s relationship with their daughter is at the moment.

“As far as their relationship goes, he hasn’t seen Stella in a few years,” she said. “She’s been in therapy for a little bit, they’ve been working on her talking about her feelings and how she feels about her dad and so on and so forth, and it’s been going really well.” 

Briana shared that Luis has been “doing sessions” with Stella’s therapist and that Devoin has been doing the same thing with Nova’s therapist. Despite giving Luis credit for “taking baby steps,” Briana told fans that Stella still didn’t want to have her dad at her birthday this week. (She also admitted in the video that she doesn’t know where Luis is currently living, though she believes he’s in Florida– the same state where she and her kids live.) 

“This is the third birthday that she doesn’t want him to come to, which I get, I understand,” Briana said, adding that Stella and Luis have been texting one another as of late, which Briana said was “a plus.”  

While Luis’s texting relationship with Stella is “a good start” according to Briana, she admitted that she absolutely wishes their relationship was in a better place. However, Briana did give Luis credit for sending her money for Stella.

“I really do want him to be around and stuff like that, but it’s really up to him to put in that effort and Stella just needs to feel comfortable,” she added.  

As for Devoin, though he’s been involved with Nova’s therapy sessions, Briana said he hasn’t seen their daughter in more than six months. (As fans of ‘Teen Mom’ may remember, Devoin moved from Florida to Michigan last year after accepting a job.) 

“They do text, they do FaceTime,” she said. “He does send money [and] he’s been doing some sessions with her therapist to work on having a better relationship with Nova, so it’s been pretty positive. Do I wish he came down to see her a bit more? Yes. But this is just what it is for the moment.” 

Briana went on to tell fans that over time, she’s learned to accept her children’s fathers for who they are, while still holding them accountable for their shortcomings– or as she put it, “still call out s**t” when she feels like it’s “half-assed.” 

“ … I feel like I’ve always done that and that will never change,” Briana said. “But I’ve just learned how to pick and choose my battles now and what’s really important and just focus on me being a mom and doing the best that I can do.” 

Later in the video, Briana told fans that both of her baby daddies are employed, with Luis working in aviation and Devoin working in the automotive industry. 

“Two very good careers, I’m very proud of them for dealing through all the ‘Teen Mom’ bulls**t and being able to pull themselves out of the dark … ,” she said.

is going hard at her former employer (again) for falling short and, in this case, allegedly failing to prepare its cast members for the real world.  

During an interview with Z100 on Thursday, the fired MTV star spoke about her time on ‘Teen Mom,’ as well as her belief that the show does nothing to teach its cast members anything other than “trauma drama.”   

“When you’re on ‘Teen Mom,’ when you’re in a bubble of a show– I just want everyone to hear this– you are not taught life skills,” Farrah explained. “You are only taught to stay in, like, trauma drama and that doesn’t really pay your bills in real life.” 

Farrah– who seemingly turned down her Farrah Speak word salad setting before this interview– went on to claim that when cast members from ‘Teen Mom’ (and other shows) get back to the real world, they have to do things like care about others, which is often not the case when cameras are running. 

“ … it’s not all about you, like [it is] on a protected show and a set,” she added. “ … So yeah, getting into the real world of life outside of television probably hit some people really hard right now.”

Thursday’s interview was the second time that Farrah has aired her grievances about MTV and/or ‘Teen Mom’ public as of late. As The Ashley told you earlier this week, Farrah recently took an opportunity to slam MTV for allegedly failing to provide mental health support to cast members and families, despite revealing that the network had provided this help to her back in 2022. 

Farrah spoke about the issue on an episode of former ‘Teen Mom 2’ star Kail Lowry’s Barely Famous podcast, telling Kail that she believes intense trauma therapy is something that should be offered to moms across the ‘Teen Mom’ franchise, as well as to their children, partners and parents.
