Fans commended the Teen Mom 2 star after she showed off her natural look on Instagram – minus her usual edits and filters.
The photos of Chelsea were re-shared on an online platform, showing the young mom looking like her normal self.
In the pic, the reality star had a massive smile on her face as she held a pig while standing on a dirt road at night.
Chelsea was donning a body-hugging maroon gown with a full face of makeup and her dark hair flowing down in loose waves.
No additional context was shared describing the unusual snap, except the simple caption: “Pure Happiness.”
Teen Mom fans adored the wholesome photo, with one person commenting: “This is a fun, genuine picture of real life.”
Another echoed the statement, writing: “I like this photo actually, she has a genuine smile, and this doesn’t seem like some contrived photo op.”
A third enjoyed the seemingly unaltered pic, adding: “It’s nice to see actual real photos & not staged perfected and filtered photos. I appreciate that some of her size isn’t edited the way it usually is and taken off. She looks healthier here than in most of the pics we see.”

A fourth remarked: “I absolutely love this photo. It’s so real, and she looks so happy! I wish more people were cool with posting unscripted photos.”
A fifth replied: “Yes!!! Her face looks so natural, and like you can hear her smile! I thought this was cute.”
And one more chimed in: “I agree, 100% prefer real-life photos vs. filtered-out perfect angles!”
SIBLING TIME
Chelsea received similar responses to a post she shared last month of her four children.
She shared the adorable moment on social media of her kids cuddling together on a porch swing.
The close-up shot showed her eldest daughter, Aubree, 12, holding her baby girl, Walker, one, while their other siblings, Watson, five, and Layne, three, sat next to them.
The group looked happy as they smiled at the camera.
Chelsea shares her pre-teen daughter with her ex-Adam Lind, 32.
The father of her three younger children is her husband, Cole Deboer, 33.
The photo circulated online, where many fans commended the MTV alum for posting the shot without any filters or edits.
One person shared the pic in an online thread with the caption: “The Deboer kids without that hideous bland orange filter.”
Others agreed, with one saying, “It’s so nice to see their natural skin tone. [I] wish Chelsea would follow suit.”
A second commented: “I love this so much!!! Let the kids be kids and not edit them to be aesthetically pleasing for your feed.”
Another said: “Don’t put them on your feed at all. Editing or not editing has nothing to do with kids being kids.”
A fourth said: “Awwww, such cute kids and so natural and happy in this picture.”
And a fifth stated: “So much better than the filtered photos Chelsea likes to post.”
PHOTO BACKLASH
A week earlier, Chelsea was criticized for doctoring her photos online, with many believing she’d gone too far.
Chelsea took to her Instagram Stories on July 12 to talk about a new preset bundle that she made.
She came out with two filter bundles and admitted using them in all her pictures.
The TV personality linked the bundles to her stories and showed the differences with and without the filters.
The first photo was of two of her children sitting in a giant chair, eating candy.
She showed the original picture and slid the filter, Down Home DeBoer, over it, giving the photo a yellow tint.
The HGTV star then showed another photo with all her kids and used the Influencer filter, which made the picture brighter.
The third filter, called Sweater Weather, gave the picture of Chelsea standing with her hand on her hip an orange/Autumn feel.
The last filter, Young Wild & Free, was put over a photo of her and her husband, Cole.
The filter removed the natural sunlight and made the couple look more tan.
‘POSSESSED’
Another online thread erupted backlash from trolls claiming the TV star looked “possessed” with the new filters.
They begged Chelsea to stop using the filters in the comments, saying she looked “unrecognizable.”
The original poster shared a screenshot of her story, where she used the Sweater Weather filter and was scared of how her appearance in it.
Other fans chimed in as well.
“D**N OP, you gotta warn a girl before her soul gets devoured by a demon!” said one fan.
“She probably is possessed. Why is she holding the bag with her middle finger only? So odd,” commented another.
One user commented on the filter: “It’s giving children of the corn.”
“For 30, she is looking rough,” a fourth chimed in.
One fan said: “I didn’t recognize her with all those lip fillers and botox. She was a natural beauty before.”
Others said she is “obsessed with using filters” and looks “witchy.”
