Summary

  • Chelsea DeBoer faced backlash for choosing Adam Lind over her friend Megan, who was like a father to her daughter Aubree.

Of course, being a Teen Mom star makes people famous enough to make a lot of money. Unfortunately for the stars of Teen Mom, however, the show's cast also has to deal with their drama being out there for the whole world to see.

Some Teen Mom stars have been involved in cheating scandals and rumors that they've gone broke. In Chelsea DeBoer's case, Teen Mom fans wouldn't let her forget the worst thing that they believed she ever did on the show even years after it happened.

This article will reveal what Teen Mom fans think is the worst thing that Chelsea DeBoer ever did on the show. Then, the article will look at the other terrible things that fans think that DeBoer did during her time starring in Teen Mom 2.

What's The Worst Thing Teen Mom 2's Chelsea DeBoer Ever Did?

In the reality TV world, there are some stars that fans have invested in more than others. Since Teen Mom fans get to watch people grow up and figure out who they are, it makes sense that many fans care deeply about some of the franchise's stars.

On the other hand, viewers also watch the franchise's stars go through the era in their lives when they are supposed to make mistakes. After all, practically every teen does stupid things they are happy to forget and move on from. Since fans tend to have long memories, however, most of them still remember the biggest mistakes the Teen Mom franchise's stars have made on TV.

In 2023, the users of the subreddit r/TeenMomOGandTeenMom2 discussed the biggest mistakes that Chelsea DeBoer has made.

When a Reddit post asked fans what the "worst thing Chelsea has ever done" was, the top-upvoted response made it very clear what fans thought DeBoer's biggest mistake was. In fact, the top-upvoted response even took a shot at a pivotal person in DeBoer's history.

"Her making her friend leave so Adumb could move in."

On top of that post receiving the most upvotes, it also received many responses. For example, one Reddit user wrote, "Poor Megan! That was awful." Another person commented on that response by bringing up everything that Megan Nelson was doing for DeBoer when she was kicked out. "Didn't the friend take care of/help her with baby Aubrey a lot, too?"

Amber previously kept her relationship on the down-low, but now she's ready for the world to meet her new beau (and his eerily similar name).

Yet another person who responded to the post's original question made the same choice. While that person didn't insult Adam Lind as others had, they praised Megan Nelson for how great she'd been to DeBoer in the past. "Choosing Adam over Megan. Megan was more of a father to Aubree than Adam ever was."

One of the Reddit users who wrote about Chelsea DeBoer choosing Adam Lind over Megan Nelson pointed out something really noteworthy. As the Teen Mom 2 fan pointed out, Nelson once said something about the role she felt she was playing in the life of DeBoer's child. "Stepdaddy Megan she even called herself in an episode !"

"You know that had to break Megan’s heart. She was raising Aubree with Chelsea."

There have been so many fights between Farrah Abraham and Debra Danielsen over the years. But were they just for show?

Possibly the most noteworthy response to the Reddit question about the worst thing DeBoer ever did pointed out how bad DeBoer was as a friend to Nelson. As that post pointed out, Nelson was there for DeBoer through thick and thin until she was thrown away.

"She was an awful friend to Megan. I know Megan got kinda sketch later on but when Chelsea chose Adam over her my heart broke. Megan stood by her and listened to her obsess over what a prick Adam was, only to go running back to him over and over again."

Considering how concerned the users on Teen Mom's subreddit were about Megan Nelson being kicked out of DeBoer's house, they clearly cared about her. With that in mind, it makes sense to look at what has happened to Nelson since her Teen Mom 2 exit.

To the shock of many Teen Mom 2 fans, it was announced that Chelsea DeBoer was leaving the show during its tenth season. DeBoer later began starring in another show with her husband, Cole DeBoer, called Down Home Fab which aired on HGTV. While talking about Down Home Fab, Chelsea DeBoer revealed how excited she was to star in an HGTV show. "Cole and I-- we watch HGTV all the time. We are super fans. We've been super fans. We would just binge Fixer Upper and be like, ‘How cool is this? That would be so fun to do something like this.’ And it truly is such a dream.”

According to an article from Distractify, DeBoer and Nelson had a falling out many years ago. The outlet reports that when DeBoer and Adam Lind moved in together, that caused the former pals to no longer be close friends.

In 2011, E! News reported that, similar to her former friend DeBoer, Nelson became a teen Mom too. DeBoer later drew attention to a report that revealed that one of Nelson's children suffered strokes at only 2 years old.

Teen Mom 2 Fans Called Out Other Bad Things Chelsea DeBoer Has Done

Unfortunately for Chelsea DeBoer, kicking Megan Nelson out of her home wasn't the only thing she was criticized for in the Reddit thread. In fact, Reddit's Teen Mom fans also pointed out several other things they believed DeBoer had done wrong.
