'Teen Mom 2's Jo Rivera Breaks Silence on Custody Battle With Kailyn Lowry
By Jennifer Fabiano
Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry hasn’t been quiet about her child support feud with Jo Rivera, but now Jo is the one speaking up. The ex-couple, who share equal custody of their nine-year-old son Isaac, have taken their drama public.
Last week, Jo took to Twitter to defend himself against fans who criticized him for filing for child support against Kailyn, which was shown last week in a preview clip for the show.
Both Kailyn and Jo can be heard sharing their sides of the story in the new Teen Mom 2 season nine preview. Jo is seen talking to his wife, Vee Torres, about the matter. “The gap is absolutely incredible between what I make and what she makes,” he says.
While on the phone call with Jo, Kailyn says, "You are not doing this in the benefit of Isaac. I don’t really have anything to say to you so go f**k yourself."
The 26-year-old mom previously discussed Jo's decision to file child support against her on a Nov. episode of her podcast Coffee Convos.
“I could see…if one parent is struggling at 50/50, it’s warranted,” Kailyn said. “But if you’re not financially struggling, and the child does not live two different lifestyles in each home, to me you’re just being greedy and you’re just doing it because you can.”
And after Kailyn claimed she doesn't receive child support from either Jo or ex-husband Javi Marroquin, Jo even went as far as to post a photo of what appears to be a receipt of child support payments on Twitter this past weekend.
Teen Mom 2 airs Mondays on MTV. We'll see how Kailyn responds to Jo's latest claim.
