'Teen Mom's Tyler Baltierra Defends Wife Catelynn Against 'Disturbing' Troll Comments
By Kwadar Ray
For a reality star, the comments section of their social media posts will likely include a mix of praises and downright cruelty.
Tyler Baltierra recently posted a photo of his wife and Teen Mom co-star Catelynn Lowell on Instagram. "Was going to write something deep & meaningful but all I can think of is 'DAYYYUMM!' @catelynnmtv you look smokin babe! #Wifey," he captioned the photo of Cate, who just had the couple's third child two months ago.
However, the post was apparently met with a ton of negative comments about Catelynn. Tyler disabled comments on the post, but took time out on Saturday to call out the haters in a lengthy response.
"After yesterday’s post, I can’t help but get emotional when writing this," Tyler began the caption of a new post. "The unnecessary mean & disturbing comments made about my beautiful wife, really just breaks my heart to be honest. It doesn’t make me angry...it literally just rips my heart to pieces."
The reality star emphasized that the negative comments really hit home because of Cate's past difficulties with her mental health, which she completed a 40-day stint in rehab for last year.
"After 11 years of this brave woman vulnerably showing her struggles & the most painful moments she will EVER experience in life, for the world to see, she does NOT DESERVE such cruelty!" Baltierra continued. "Do you not understand that a year ago, she was going to END HER LIFE!?"
Luckily, unlike the other post, this one received thousands of beautiful comments, including one from Catelynn, who replied, "Omg thank you @tylerbaltierramtvI love you."
Some believe replying back to trolls only gives them more power, but when people are attacking your spouse, you need to let them know that hate won't be tolerated. And we give Tyler credit for doing exactly that.
