Catelynn Lowell Accused of Secretly Texting Carly’s Friend to Spy on Adopted Daughter!
Teen Mom fans are reeling after new allegations surfaced suggesting that Catelynn Lowell may have crossed a major boundary in her desperate attempt to connect with her biological daughter, Carly.
According to a series of now-viral TikToks and Reddit threads, Catelynn — who rose to fame on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom OG — allegedly contacted one of Carly’s teen friends via text in hopes of gathering information about Carly’s life, years after placing her for adoption. The shocking twist? The texts are said to contain nearly 100 messages and show Catelynn urging the minor to keep their communication a secret.
Alleged Messages Raise Eyebrows
The alleged texts have not been verified by any legal authorities or MTV representatives, but social media is ablaze with screenshots. In the leaked exchanges, a woman — identified by the person posting as Catelynn— allegedly reassures the teen that she “won’t tell anyone” about their private conversations.
“She was trying to build a relationship with someone close to Carly, and from the looks of it, she was being super careful not to get caught,” said one social media commenter who followed the thread.
The woman who posted the messages claims she looked up the phone number used in the texts and says it was registered to both Catelynn and her husband Tyler Baltierra, Carly’s biological father. The user also claims the texts were originally sent to a teenage girl who is close to Carly through school or mutual friends.
A Painful History Revisited
Catelynn and Tyler famously placed Carly for adoption during 16 & Pregnant in 2009. The open adoption agreement allowed for yearly visits and ongoing updates, but over the years, the relationship between the biological parents and Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa, has reportedly grown strained.
Catelynn has been vocal on social media and during filming about feeling shut out of Carly’s life. While she’s expressed gratitude for Carly’s upbringing, she’s also hinted at feeling powerless and emotional about their limited contact.
Fans of Teen Mom have watched the couple raise three other daughters — Nova, Vaeda, and Rya — but it’s no secret that Carly remains a deeply sensitive topic.
Fallout and Fan Reaction
Reactions online have been mixed, with some fans sympathizing with Catelynn’s desire to know more about Carly as she grows up.
“She probably just misses her daughter,” one user commented. “It doesn’t make it right, but it does make it human.”
Others, however, have condemned the alleged behavior, especially if the texts truly involved manipulating a minor. “That’s crossing a serious line,” one Redditor wrote. “You can’t pull a kid into your personal drama just because you want updates.”
Neither Catelynn nor Tyler has publicly responded to the allegations as of now. MTV and Teen Mom: The Next Chapter producers have also remained silent.
“Believe What You Will”
The woman who uploaded the messages left followers with a cryptic final note: “Believe what you will.” But with the screenshots still circulating across TikTok, Reddit, and fan pages, it seems this story isn’t going away anytime soon.
As for Catelynn, she has often reminded fans that her love for Carly hasn’t changed, even if the circumstances have. “I’ll always be her mom in my heart,” she said in a past reunion episode.
But if these allegations prove true, it may complicate her already fragile relationship with Carly’s adoptive family — and cast a new shadow over the story fans thought they knew.
