Teen Mom star reacts to backlash from "Little white boys don't get their hair cut like that" comment

Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry has spent the last few days receiving backlash on Twitter after MTV aired a promo for the Teen Mom 2 season finale which featured her making racist comments.



inTouch Weekly reports that in the clip, Lowry's ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera reads a text from her regarding their son's hair, "Little white boys don't get their hair cut like that".



They also show several other texts from Lowry on his screen including, "He's too young for that. He's half white. I don't like his hair cut like that. Please don't do that."



It didn't take long for people to call out Lowry for her comments on Twitter.

@bribree_xo you should watch it before saying anything. Both my kids are Hispanic. I'm not racist.

I already know what I said was wrong, it completely came out the wrong way too. This is weighing heavy on me. Trust that...

@kc403b I just brought race into it which had nothing to do with it. I couldn't articulate what I was trying to say properly.

@KailLowry YOU know that you didn't mean it in a negative way. Focus on the positive this week, I'm sure you'll get tons of Internet hate.💗

@KailLowry people should chill! Words are just that, words. Your actions as a human and mom show you're above that slip of the tongue! 💓
