Teen Mom ‘FIRED’ from show after star’s ‘story didn’t catch on’ with viewers amid series’ ‘terrible’ ratings

“They did not renew her contract so she won’t be in the new 12 episodes.

“She was disappointed, especially since she has so much happening in her life right now that would be good to film.

“But MTV made their choice so there’s really nothing she can do.”

Sources claimed to the outlet that Teen Mom producers planned to keep Kayla on the show and fire Madisen Beith, though viewers seem to identify with Madisen’s storyline more.

CHOOSING MADISEN

The insider explained: “[The producers] feel like, because Kayla is older than Madisen, and because Kayla’s pregnancy was intentional, her story didn’t really catch on the way [the producers] had hoped.

"The network thought that, because Kayla’s story included a transgender partner, it was timely and topical, but it just didn’t catch on."

While Kayla is no longer starring on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, she may appear in an upcoming episode after she attended a birthday party for costar Kiaya Elliott’s son a few months ago.

DECLINING RATINGS

Kayla has been dropped from the cast after it was surprisingly renewed for another season following low ratings.

After debuting on March 12, 2018 with 660,000 viewers, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant climbed into the high-800,000s in the first season.

Many viewers stopped tuning in during the second season, with the finale only bringing in 470,000 viewers.
