Catelynn Lowell

Many viewers were a bit taken back by what they witnessed on Teen Mom OG this past Tuesday night.

Amber Portwood was headed to court for a hearing after her arrest for domestic violence (because the show tapes months in advance) and...

Catelynn Lowell unfortunately has some more sad news to share.

A day after telling followers about the state of her troubled father-in-law, the veteran Teen Mom OG star has now informed fans of the following:

Amber Portwood dealt with the aftermath of her July arrest on Teen Mom OG this week...

... while the other cast members dealt with the aftermath of having a long-time co-star dealing with the aftermath of her July arrest for domestic violence.

If you're a longtime Teen Mom OG viewer, then you're probably familiar with Tyler Baltierra's father, Butch, and his lifelong struggle with substance abuse and addiction.

When Butch checked into rehab and got sober back in 2018, family, friends, and fans were quick to offer words of kindness and support.

We've all seen the shocking moment of Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra's surprise Vow Renewal. Now, that is being explained.

But Catelynn is also warning fans that they're not going to see as much of Carly as they usually do. But why?

Amber Portwood has been arrested for domestic violence.

Granted, this is old news for anyone that has followed the Teen Mom OG universe even semi-closely over the past several months.

We know you've heard this a lot.

We know it's a cliche at this point.

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra aren't done just yet.

Not with reality TV, and not with having kids, either.

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have one reason to celebrate at the moment...

... and another reason they may soon be celebrating.

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have been through a lot together.

More than any young couple should, that's for sure.

These days, most of the stars of the Teen Mom franchise want nothing to do with those infamous reunion shows, and if they take the stage at all, they do so only out of contractual obligation.

Which is why it's so strange that Catelynn Lowell just took part in the reunion for the current season of Teen Mom 2 -- even though she's not one of the show's cast members.
