Tyler Baltierra, the husband of Teen Mom OG‘s Catelynn Lowell, isn’t happy that MTV canceled his passion project series Reunited. The 25-year-old reality star took to Twitter to speak out as to the reason why the network gave his show the ax.
@MTV refused @ReunitedMTV because “it was too heavy” Even though it rated #2 on cable TV that night. Would you like to see more episodes?
