'Teen Mom 2' Fans Are Done With Dr. Drew After Season 10 Reunion
Dr. Drew Pinsky is coming under fire from Teen Mom 2 fans, who, after watching the Season 10 [...]
Double Standard
Some fans of the MTV show pointed out the double standard he appears to have when it comes to treatment of the fathers as opposed to the moms on the series.
Watching Teen Mom 2 again after years. Anyone else think Dr. Drew is a POS? Like he literally just called Adam (S2) a committed dad & then puts down the moms. He obviously never watched the show, and if he did then he must really hate women. Sorry your mom never loved ya bro.

prevnextI'm sorry @drdrew was wrong to agree with DeVoin. Bri asks for $250 a month thats $65 a week and him to be on time to pick up Nova and get her to Gymnastics. That's nothing! My dad paid more then that in the 1980s and he had partial custody. And how long did she let him pay 0$

'Awful Advice'
Others called him out for the "awful" advice he gives the female cast members, with another noting it was "no wonder" they didn't open up as much on the reunion specials.
Literally created a Twitter to say that rewatching all of the Teen Mom 2 episodes made me realize that @drdrew is pure bull shit. He mentally abused these girls for years and ALWAYS favored the men! No wonder why they never wanted to open up!

'Negative Vibes'
Another fan called Pinsky out for a "very negative vibe" they perceive he has against the women on the show, with another adding they didn't appreciate the way he spoke to them.
Dr. Drew (teen mom) bothers the shit outta me. He puts off this very negative vibe against the girls and can be very accusatory

'Lies and Misinformation'
Plenty of viewers brought up the coronavirus controversy Pinsky involved himself in early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, with some even calling for him to be fired.
@MTV wow getting caught up on Teen Mom 2. Watching the reunion from this season, and I cannot believe you did not fire @drdrew after all of the lies and misinformation he put out about the pandemic. #disappointed

'Moral Compass'
The TV personality's COVID-19 comments show how "ignorant" he can be, one viewer wrote, adding they don't know how he's expected to be the "moral compass" of the cast.
I wish @drdrew wasn't part of teen mom...with the whole covid-19 he showed how ignorant he can be and not sure how he's the moral compass for these girls 🤮#TeenMom2

COVID-19
Pinsky spread significant COVID-19 misinformation at the start of the pandemic. In an interview with KTLA on March 2, he called the pandemic "a press-induced panic" and compared the virus to the common flu. "Way less serious than influenza — that should be the headline," he said at the time, comparing the chances of someone dying of COVID-19 worse than being "hit by an asteroid."
A month later, Pinsky walked back his comments as the virus decimated communities around the world. "My early comments about equating coronavirus with influenza were wrong. They were incorrect. I was part of a chorus that was saying that. And we were wrong. And I want to apologize for that," he said in his apology. "I did not, thank goodness, get Dr. [Anthony] Fauci wrong, and when he made it clear that this was not a usual influenza, that it was significantly worse, I adjusted course. And if you notice, I've been doing about two hours of media today backing, changing my perspective in such a way to sign on for the aggressive measures we are taking."

In December, Pinsky's comments about the virus resurfaced when he disclosed that he had fallen ill with COVID-19 himself, but was "feeling better." While his wife, Susan Sailer, tested negative for the virus, Pinsky was working to recover in the last days of 2020.
"Cheers to the New Year with some Hydralyte for Covid-19. Drew tested positive day 4 and @firstladyoflove is negative #2020 #covid19 #youlive," the caption of a photo on Pinsky's Instagram read. "Drew is home, under surveillance and fever is down. Thanks Dr. Zelenko, Dr. Yo and Dr. Jeff for the superior care and advice. Drew is feeling better and will hopefully get well soon."
