'Teen Mom 2': Kailyn Lowry downplays Covid-19 threat for vacation, fans call her 'embarrassing and selfish'

Kailyn Lowry came under fire when she stated that Covid-19 wasn't a big deal as she planned her vacation

Coronavirus pandemic turned the world upside down and people are still trying to figure out how to beat the pandemic. Amid this, the production for 'Teen Mom 2' decided to let the cast film themselves to ensure everyone is safe. In the latest episode (November 24), viewers got to see what went down when the cast members found out that the number of people suffering and deaths due to the pandemic were increasing.

Kailyn Lowry revealed she had her heart set on going to the Bahamas for a vacation with her sons ahead of the birth of her fourth son. Things had been hard for her as she was dealing with the pregnancy alone. Kailyn revealed she asked Chris Lopez not to be involved as she did not want to keep her expectations high.

Previously, when she was pregnant with Lux, Kailyn had hoped Chris would be there by her side. However, she was disappointed to find out that he had a list of excuses planned every time he couldn't be there for her. Seeing how things did not go the way she had planned previously, Kailyn decided to move forward with the pregnancy on her own terms. 

Sitting down with her friend, Kailyn revealed she wanted to enjoy some time with her sons in the Bahamas. She was looking forward to spending a vacation with her three sons. However, one thing putting a pause on her plans was the spread of coronavirus. When coronavirus started affecting the US, the government had shut down businesses. 

At the same time, there were some restrictions put on travel. Kailyn was quick to say that people are "making a f***ing deal out of it." At the same time, she was adamant about the idea that she wanted to go to the Bahamas no matter what. Kailyn further joked that she would sue everybody if anything happened to her plans. 

Kailyn ultimately admitted it was a mistake not taking Covid-19 seriously as she noticed how it was affecting people. However, fans were quick to slam her for her comments anyway as one wrote, "Kail the coronavirus is a big f**king deal. You go on vacations all the time you can survive not going to one."

"Ahh rich people... “I need to go to the Bahamas” Ma’am I need groceries we are not the same," wrote another. "Kail downplaying the coronavirus all for a vacation is so embarrassing and selfish," said another. "Really Kail! You’re more concerned about a damn vacation than the coronavirus and keeping yourself and your kids safe! Tf!" read another comment. 

'Teen Mom 2' airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on MTV.
