Fans tweeted out the video, asking when his “trifling a–” would respond to people calling him out for his unacceptable language.
This “trifling ass” does have some explaining to do. I am a complete inconsiderate prick who made a mistake while attempting to take a mental break after dealing with everything. I deserve any hate you all give me, so lay it on me

Baltierra quickly responded, apologizing for his use of the word while saying he was trying to take a “mental break” after his wife Catelynn entered treatment after having suicidal thoughts this weekend.
“This ‘trifling a–‘ does have some explaining to do,” he tweeted. “I am a complete inconsiderate prick who made a mistake while attempting to take a mental break after dealing with everything. I deserve any hate you all give me, so lay it on me.”
Fans weren’t having the apology. Many were upset, thinking the MTV cast member was blaming his inappropriate behavior on his wife’s recent issues.
I love how you play the victim. Mental exhaustion doesn’t put racial slurs in one’s vocabulary, last I checked.

You’re better off not responding and try to pull the victim card. You’d think you would know better.

Oh stop with the victim game. Go be a grown ass man and take care of your kid, and think of something nice to do for Catelynn when she gets back
