Catelynn Lowell Defends Daughter Against Body Shaming

Catelynn Lowell is publicly defending her 16-year-old daughter, Carly, after alleged cyberbullying incidents. Lowell, known from "Teen Mom," expressed outrage on TikTok regarding the theft of Carly's prom photos and subsequent body-shaming comments made by online trolls.

Lowell criticized adults for targeting minors' bodies, citing comments that labeled Carly a "skeleton" and suggested she needed to gain weight. She revealed her younger daughter, Novalee, also experiences similar criticism. Lowell highlighted the harm of skinny shaming, emphasizing it affects individuals regardless of their size.

She shared that her children have fast metabolisms and that their father, Tyler Baltierra, is also slender. Lowell urged people to keep their opinions to themselves when it concerns children, stating such behavior is "disgusting" and must cease, threatening to block anyone who violates this on her social media platforms.

Lowell and Baltierra, who were featured on "16 and Pregnant," placed Carly for adoption in May 2009. They later welcomed three more daughters. While their initial adoption arrangement allowed for yearly visits and photo exchanges, Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon and Theresa, closed the adoption in 2023.

Lowell stated in January 2025 that she had not seen Carly in two years, finding it difficult but prioritizing Carly's wishes. In April, Baltierra shared that their relationship with Carly is non-existent, with communication limited to a shared email account for Carly to access if she chooses in the future.
