In tweets that have since been deleted , Cheyenne revealed thoughts that Reddit user Blaze_90 called “incredibly racist.”
In one tweet, she shares, “My mom said I can’t see The Help, she knows I already have a problem with white people,” referring to the 2011 blockbuster featuring Viola Davis and Emma Stone, among other stars. “Last night I saw it and I wanted to kill every white person I saw,” Cheyenne continued before adding three “gun” emojis.
In a later tweet, Cheyenne said, “This little white kid told me I looked like a cat today. I shoulda kicked him in his head.” Fans were outraged to learn that MTV’s newest choice for a show about motherhood had threatened physical violence against a child!

The girls haven’t commented on the drama surrounding the tweets, but they do question why an outsider is joining the franchise at this point after they’ve starred on the show for years. A source told Radar Online that Catelynn and her husband Tyler Baltierra think “it’s stupid that they’re bringing people from outside the franchise instead of bringing the OGs and the TM2 cast together.”
The moms are quick to give their thoughts on their castmates, but Reddit user darialalalalala wondered, “Why does the cast care? They film their segments separately and meet a few times a year for reunions and specials.”
However, the girls might really just be concerned about their own bank accounts! Tyler, in particular, “doesn’t think the show is going to last very much longer unless the new cast member brings in amazing ratings.”
He isn’t the only one pessimistic about the show’s future.
