MTV drops Teen Mom star Taylor Selfridge and cancels her special after her past racist tweets resurface

People

Selfridge's special with boyfriend Cory Wharton, Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Baby Special, was yanked last night in the latest reckoning over racism following the George Floyd police brutality protests. "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 told People. "MTV strongly condemns systemic racism and stands with those raising their voices against injustice." An episode of Catfish aired in place of the special. Selfridge came under fire after her 2012 racially insensitive tweets recently resurfaced. Selfridge addressed her departure on Instagram, writing she would like "move on and continue to be the best version of myself."
