een Mom’sCatelynn Baltierra has something to say about body shamers. The 34-year-old recently revealed that ‘certain pages’ were stealing photos of her first child, Carly’s, prom pictures. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Baltierra claims adults are now body-shaming the 17-year-old.
Catelynn and her now-husband, Tyler Baltierra, rose to fame after filming MTV’s 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. As original cast members from the show’s first season, the couple’s story featured a heartwrenching journey of hard decisions, ups, and downs. Unlike the other teen moms, Catelynn chose adoption for her daughter, Carly. And while Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa, did appear on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, the relationship eventually became strained, and they stopped filming the show.

Even though Carly hasn’t been on camera in years, the series’s fans and followers still seem to find photos of her. And according to Catelynn, this isn’t okay.
Catelynn continued slamming the adults who took to social media, body-shaming Carly, adding, “It’s horrible. Knock it off. Grow up. My children have very, very fast metabolisms, look at their father. Okay, skinny…Keep your opinions to yourself when it comes to children. It’s disgusting, and it needs to stop.”
Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra Have Faced a Body-Shaming Backlash Before
This isn’t the first time the Baltierras have been at the center of a body-shaming controversy. In 2023, Tyler fiercely defended his wife when comments on one of his own selfies spurred a serious backlash. After Tyler posted before-and-after Instagram pics of his fitness journey, several Instagram users made outrageously negative (now-deleted) comments about Catelynn. Not only did Tyler defend her, but plenty of the couple’s fans showed their support.
One commenter wrote, “Now that is a good man and husband right there! Society’s messed up views on beauty is disgusting! Beauty comes from within and comes in all shapes and sizes!” Another added, “People are saying Cate should get in shape, anyone ever consider the woman has four children…she looks amazing. I’m over here still trying to lose the baby weight it’s been two years…Looking great you two. Always loved you guys when I watched the show.”
