The network axed The Challenge star Dee Nguyen for posts that spoke negatively about the Black Lives Matter movement, and soon after, execs supposedly fired Teen Mom O.G.’s Taylor Selfridge over racist posts from back in 2012.
This is far from the first time in recent weeks that MTV has had to fire one or more of its reality TV stars over issues relating to racist language on social media.
Selfridge has since come out to say that she’d stepped away from the show a week earlier to focus on her new baby, and is bothered by the network’s decision to refocus her absence on posts that she’d already publicly apologized for.
