Catelynn Lowell is not letting the critics have the final say. 

Days after the Teen Mom star shared that she and husband Tyler Baltierra had been blocked from communicating with their biological daughter Carly by the 15-year-old’s adopted parents, Brandon Davis and Teresa Davis, Catelynn is responding to claims that Tyler forced her to give their child up for adoption in 2009.

“I’m seeing the comment a lot that people are saying that Tyler gave me an ultimatum,” Catelynn began in a Sept. 19 Instagram video, “either my baby or him. First off, that comment is absolutely disgusting on so many levels.”

The way the 16 and Pregnant alum sees it, when people say something like that, “it strips me of all of the strength and sorrow that it took me as a birth mom to place my child.”

Catelynn doubled down on how false the accusations are. “If you think that I would just give my baby away for a man, that is absolutely untrue,” she noted, “and to think that I would still be with said man after all of these years, if he did give me an ultimatum with either my baby or him, that’s absolutely disgusting.”
