Catelynn Lowell is known for her responsible decision to give her daughter up for adoption and is one of the most liked Teen Moms but she had to apologize this week for posting a video of a boy with special needs that many people cried was unkind bullying.
After posting a video of a neighbor boy walking down the street Catylenn’s was immediately ripped by multiple people on line about her mocking the boy.
“Gosh people can take things soooo wrong like come on! I was not making fun of him! I even have a cuz w/ special needs like come on!” Catelynn initially wrote on Twitter, not taking responsibility for insulting the boy.
The backlash was swift, with one person writing “he is a 17 year old boy and he is really nice and goes to woodlands. How f**king rude could you be!”
Catelynn seemed taken aback by the criticism and tried to defend herself.
