Teen Mom star Taylor Selfridge quits show after MTV cancels baby special over her 2012 ‘racist’ tweets – The Sun

TEEN MOM'S Taylor Selfridge quit the show after MTV canceled her baby special over her 2012 ‘racist’ tweets.

The former Are You The One? contestant claimed she made the decision to not film the show anymore, despite MTV saying they cut ties with her.

Taylor, 25, will no longer be appearing on Teen Mom OG – or any other MTV shows – after the network pulled her and Cory Wharton's Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Baby Special from the air.

The show was meant to air on Tuesday, but instead, fans were left waiting.

MTV confirmed their decision to pull the special off the air in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

"MTV pulled Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Baby Special from its Tuesday schedule and is ending our relationship with Taylor Selfridge in light of her past racist statements on social media," an MTV spokesperson said.

"MTV strongly condemns systemic racism and stands with those raising their voices against injustice."

Following the story, Taylor wrote on her Instagram: "As you guys know already our special didn't air tonight. I made the decision last week to not film the next season of Teen Mom OG with Cory for the benefit of myself and my daughter.

"I don't believe the reality tv lifestyle benefits me any further at this point in my life.

With current events being what they are and reality tv being selective in who they apply rules to or what is considered acceptable behavior, I do not have any further respect."

She continued: "Once again, I apologize for anyone I have hurt or offended in the past.

"I have addressed my mistakes many times on the network and I would like to move on and continue to be the best version of myself.

"My past does not define who I am today and I hope you guys can see the change.

"Please respect my decision to provide a normal, healthy life for my family."

Taylor, Cory, and their baby's Instagram accounts have all been switched to private.

Following Taylor's post, Cheyenne Floyd – Cory's first baby mama – commented: "Ryder, my family and I love and support you."

The tweets that both parties are referring to are a series of comments that Taylor made back in 2012 and 2013, when she was 17 and 18 years old.

The tweets, which were collected by Redditers, see the reality TV star talking about Black and Asian women.

In one instance, she wrote: "'We have to greet everyone at work, but sometimes I won't greet the Black people cause they scare me' – I won't say names!"

While in another one, she wrote: "'Black p**sy is probably really scary.'"

And in another one, she tweeted: "My uncle is dating an Asian. Aunt Ping please make us sushi."

Back in 2019, when Cory and Taylor got back together, her tweets had resurfaced too and Cheyenne was forced to confront her on Teen Mom.

Taylor, however, apologized and the three were able to move on.

But this sudden drama isn't putting off Cory and Taylor's plans to have more kids.

n an exclusive interview with The Sun, Cory, 29, and Taylor, 25, revealed they plan to expand their family after welcoming their daughter, Mila, in April.

Cory told The Sun: “Bring them on! Taylor, you ready? Let’s go! I need a boy. I definitely want a boy.”

Cory is also dad to daughter Ryder, 3, with Cheyenne, 27.

He added: “We definitely want to wait and watch the girls grow up. Maybe in three to five years. The next one will be better if we can plan it. At the end of the day, I’m happy God blessed me with two healthy daughters. I’m lucky to have them.”

As for marriage, Cory said they are taking their relationship “day by day.”

He continued: "Taylor is a new mom, and that has enough challenges on its own. We don’t even talk about a wedding or anything like that. Slow your roll, slow down! We still want to get drunk on vacation!”

Taylor added: “We just moved in together in March, we just had a baby in April. We’re not getting married right this second.”

On Teen Mom OG, Cheyenne struggled with Cory and Taylor’s pregnancy, as she has expressed her desire to welcome more children.
