Chelsea Houska Says She Felt “Physically Sick” Seeing Crew Arrive to Film Her During Her Last Season of ‘Teen Mom 2’: “My Body [Was] Rejecting It”
Chelsea Houska says being on Teen Mom 2 during her last season made her feel “physically sick.”
The former ‘Teen Mom’ star— who left the show in 2020— recently told Glamour that she knew she was over being on the MTV reality show when she began to feel queasy whenever the film crew showed up to film her and her family.
“It wasn’t about the camera crew,” Chelsea told the magazine. “It was my body rejecting it because I felt like I was ready to move on. At that point, I don’t think I could have imagined being on TV again.”
Back in May 2021, Chelsea stated that one of the main reasons she left ‘Teen Mom 2’ was because the show’s storylines were starting to focus too much on her daughter Aubree’s private life. She told
“When Aubree got a little bit older, there was a scene where she started talking about how she’s feeling about something,” Chelsea said. “I remember at that moment I was like, ‘Wait, I don’t like this. I want to protect this. She should be able to say how she’s feeling, talk to me and be open with me, and not have other people watching that.’ That was really the turning point.”
As fans know, Chelsea and her husband have gone on to film three seasons of their HGTV home renovation show Down Home Fab, and have appeared on the network’s
“I went into this saying I will be open and honest about everything, but off-limits is deep-diving into my kids,” Chelsea stated. “And HGTV was wonderful and has respected that since the beginning, so that’s always been amazing and really reassuring.
“…You could feel the vibe of the show was so different [from the vibe of ‘Teen Mom.’ They were so reassuring, saying, ‘We do not want your drama. We’re a network that is about watching the show and feeling good when you’re done watching it and not sad or heavy,'” Chelsea said.
In the Glamour article, the author applauds Chelsea for having “completely changed her personal brand,” something that is rare for a reality TV star to do if they’re known for a particular show.
“I don’t know how I did the full transition, but it is nice,” Chelsea told the magazine. “I love reading an article that says, ‘Chelsea from HGTV.’”
According to Chelsea, making the change from an MTV show to an HGTV show has resulted in her having a more-mature fan base.
“When I was on ‘Teen Mom,’… people would come up to me here and there, but it was always younger people. Now it’s way more, and it’s older people, and they’re so sweet and kind,” she said.
Chelsea said watching old clips of herself on the early seasons of ‘Teen Mom 2’ is “almost an out-of-body experience.”
“I do think it helped me be a better mom because I wanted to prove myself to people that I could be better than maybe what they thought I was going to be as a teen mom,” she said. “That’s just how I am. I like to prove people wrong. So I do think that the pressure of everyone watching and everything definitely made me really think about my choices and want to take a higher road at all times.”
Despite feeling sick about being on the show in its later years, Chelsea told
“I remember it was so controversial when the show first started, but there was proof coming out that it was helping,” she said, adding, “… I do feel really proud that I was part of that conversation at that time.”
The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Lily Busts Phyllis & Cane’s Sizzling Train Encounter?
The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) could be gearing up for a sizzling train encounter. It looks like the duo could get busted in a scandalous position, so let’s talk about what’s in store on Y&R.
For starters, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) will once again try to save Phyllis from making a big mistake.
As far as Nick’s concerned, Phyllis and Cane’s alliance can only end in disaster.
The last thing Nick wants is for Phyllis to land in prison because Cane’s dragged her in over her head.
That could become a harsh reality for Phyllis if she indeed commits crimes for Cane through all the AI software drama.
Of course, there have been some doubts about whether that software actually even exists.
There’s no proof of it yet, but the threat has certainly rattled a few key players in Genoa City.
It’s possible Cane is bluffing just to shake up his enemies, but Phyllis definitely believes in Cane’s software and will be ready to move forward with using it.
As for the grilling session she’ll face when Nick corners her, Phyllis will defend Cane and their weird connection.
Cane and Phyllis just get each other, so Phyllis may argue that they don’t have to explain anything to anyone else.
Meanwhile, Cane will find himself on the hot seat with people he cares about as well. Both Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) will launch a confrontation with Cane about his history, so that may involve discussing the good, the bad and the ugly.
This may play out due to the major media attack that Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) about to throw at Cane with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea Lawson’s (Melissa Claire Egan) help.
Once Cane’s all riled up about that media blast and feeling terrible after the interrogation that’ll follow, he may turn to Phyllis for comfort.
We know Phyllis will get busted in a compromising situation as the week of October 6-10 winds down, so could that involve some erupting train passion with Cane?
Lily might forget something after her Cane confrontation and come back to get an eyeful!
Whatever the case, Phyllis will be paired up with a surprising love interest in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for updates on any romantic news that might involve Cane.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say some sparks could fly and complicate this alliance as the October mayhem heats up.
