Kailyn Lowry sure has a flair for the dramatic.
Obviously, she’s not as emotional as, say, Jenelle Evans or Farrah Abraham – but this Teen Mom 2 star certainly has a temper, and it’s best to duck when it comes out.
So it was a bit surprising when, Kail was confronted with the possibility of jail time for taking her sons to Hawaii with her, and her response was to literally just say “f–k it.”
Is this the start of a new, more stoic Kail?
Or is the 27-year-old just getting sick of her baby daddies’ bulls–t (she’s got three of them, after all), and refusing to give them the satisfaction of getting upset?
Either way, she does not mince words, or back down from confrontation. Where will it go from here? Jump into the gallery below to decide for yourself:
Vacation Memories
If you’re a fan of the show, you know that Kail enjoys taking her three sons on extravagant trips.
Putting Hid Foot Down
Back in July, Kail planned to take all three of her boys with her to Hawaii — but it seems Issac’s father, Jo Rivera, took issue with that agenda.
What Is Going On Here?
For years, Kail and Jo enjoyed an amicable co-parenting relationship. But it seems those days have definitively come to an end.
Lack of Support
It was a dispute over child support that had Kail and Jo taking public jabs at one another. And while the matter is now settled, the bad blood remains.
An Awkward Situation
Kail might be besties with Jo’s wife, Vee Torres, but that wasn’t enough to prevent the now-infamous Hawaii incident.
Hawaii 5-No!
The incident took place back in July, but we’ll finally get the whole story on tonight’s episode of Teen Mom 2.
The Confidante
“I finally heard back from Jo about taking Isaac to Hawaii, and he has an issue with the holiday,†Lowry tells her traveling compainion Leah Messer in a preview clip.
A Complex Situation
“I had asked Jo to go to Hawaii, and I’m entitled to vacation days as long as I give notice,” Lowry explained.
Admitting Fault
“So I did all that…but I did not include the first week of July because it was my week and come to find out, the Fourth of July is his holiday,” Kail continued. “It was truly my mistake, so I basically said, ‘I f–ked up. Can I just trade you a holiday or give you Christmas?’â€Â
A No From Jo
To Kail’s surprise, Rivera shot down that offer, leading her to the conclusion that he’s simply being vindictive.
Not Cool
Lowry speculates that Rivera “didn’t want Isaac to go [to Hawaii] in the first place,†and is using the scheduling conflict “to make it even more difficult.â€Â
High Stakes
Kail consulted her lawyer and reported back, “He said that if Jo is going to file contempt, worst-case scenario, I could get a fine or go to jail.â€Â
Commitment to Vacation
“I said, ‘Well f**k it,’†she later said, “If I have to sit in jail for my son to go experience a month in Hawaii, then you’re damn right, I’m going to go sit in jail.â€Â
Clearing the Air
On a later episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail admitted her mistake, but says she texted Jo on June 30 informing him that the flight had been booked, and the trip was happening.
Harsh
On the same episode she infamously admitted that she “hate[s] Jo’s guts.â€Â
No Going Back?
Lowry revealed that the vacation may have permanently soured relations between her and Jo, though she hopes they can one day reach the point of peacefully co-parenting once again.
Taking a Stand
For his part, Jo does not seem eager to bury the hatchet. In fact, it sounds as though he’s keeping contact with Kail to an absolute minimum.
Putting His Foot Down
Insiders say Jo has “refused to film†the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2 and is not planning to take part in the show.
His Loss
“There is no footage of Jo in the next season. He does not want to deal with Kail or the show anymore,†a source tells The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.
Another One Bites The Dust
It looks like Kail now is on bad terms with yet another baby daddy. Something tells us she’s not too bothered by it.
