Now Kayla Jones, 23, has asked fans to help her beg producers to return to the MTV show.
The TV personality took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to re-share a post from a follower who hosted a poll about her status on the program.
The fan wrote: “Since Rachel ‘quit’ bring Kayla J back,” with the option to either “agree” or “disagree.”
Kayla re-posted the poll with the caption: “Y’all lmao…Let them know @mtv,” with a laughing emoji.
CUTTHROAT
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Kayla was axed from Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant.
A source told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup: “Kayla [Jones] got dropped.
“They did not renew her contract so she won’t be in the new 12 episodes.
“She was disappointed, especially since she has so much happening in her life right now that would be good to film.
“But MTV made their choice so there’s really nothing she can do.”
Sources claimed to the outlet that Teen Mom producers planned to keep Kayla on the show and fire Madisen Beith, though viewers seem to identify with Madisen’s storyline more.
The insider explained: “[The producers] feel like, because Kayla is older than Madisen, and because Kayla’s pregnancy was intentional, her story didn’t really catch on the way [the producers] had hoped.
“The network thought that, because Kayla’s story included a transgender partner, it was timely and topical, but it just didn’t catch on.”
BABY GIRL!
In June, Kayla announced the arrival of her second baby daughter.
While sharing a video of the maternity ward wall, a crying newborn could be heard in the background.
Over the video, Kayla simply announced “She’s here.”
In a follow-up post, the reality star thanked her friends for their support.
“Thank you to everybody that wished me a safe delivery. Contributed anything to my babygirl.
“And anyone who just simply checked on me. Thank you. I’m exhausted as hell y’all lmao give me a couple of hours.”
RACHEL’S EXIT
Earlier this week, Rachel Beaver, 20, quit Teen Mom, claiming her “mental health is more important than money.”
In an out-of-the-blue post on Tuesday, she added: “Therefore I have decided to quit Teen Mom.”
Rachel, who stars in the current season of Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant, continued: “This will be my last season and I appreciate the opportunity I have been given.”
She cryptically closed: “It was fun while it lasted.”
“If she follows through then it is a smart move. Mental health is way more important…” one fan reacted on an online thread.
Another added: “She’s doing the mature smart thing that is best for her and her mental health. I hope life works out well for her and she does better than she’s doing now.”
However, not all fans were on board as one wrote: “This is the easiest job you might ever have… these girls need to start negotiating some raises.”
