TEEN MOM 2 star Leah Messer insisted she is “still friends” with costar Kailyn Lowry after the two had a falling out over her involvement in an alleged cult.
During an Instagram Q&A on Friday night, a fan asked Leah, 27, if she is still friends with Kailyn, 28.
Leah responded: “Kail and I are still friends. I love her. Our kids love each other.”
In October, Leah first posted about her involvement in self-help group Mastery in Transformational Training, which has been accused of being a cult by former members.
Since then, she has attended multiple events in Los Angeles and has attempted to recruit fans over Instagram Live.
In December, Radar Online obtained text messages between Kail and a fan who discussed joining the organization with Leah.
Kailyn allegedly said in the text messages: “I really don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose her as a friend but I also don’t think any of this is ok.
“Unfortunately those programs target weak people who can be manipulated.”
Leah seemingly slammed Kailyn in January for posting a clickbait article on Instagram about her three daughters being “in danger” because of her involvement with the controversial organization.
Leah fired on Instagram: “I’m so grateful to be in a place financially that I don’t have to promote bs degrading articles to make a dollar.
“Is the money worth that much to you? I choose to use any platform I have to inspire and uplift others, and that’s what I’ll continue to do.”
She ended the tirade with: ”Leave my daughter’s positive messages out of your pathetic beliefs. I still love you all. Just do better with the massive platform you’ve been blessed with!”
Then in February, Kailyn, who is mom to sons Isaac, 10, Lincoln, 6, and Lux, 2, traveled to Iceland without Leah despite planning the trip with her.
Leah, who is mom to twins Ali and Aleeah, 10, and Adalynn, 7, re-tweeted at the time of the vacation: “You have to intentionally cut off your dead ends in order to grow and flourish.”
Leah also didn’t “like” Kailyn’s pregnancy announcement on Instagram.
As readers know, Kail is expecting her fourth son.
She is currently estranged from the baby’s father, Chris Lopez, who is also dad to her son Lux.
Also during the Q&A, the Teen Mom 2 star revealed details about her upcoming memoir, Hope, Grace & Faith, which has a release date of May 5.
She explained how the “decisions” she made throughout her life will “make sense” to fans once they read the book.
The mom-of-three continued: “They’ll understand the childhood drama and co-dependency in relationships. Everything I endured in my childhood from sexual abuse to physical abuse was probably the hardest thing.”
This is the first time Leah has opened up about her childhood abuse.
She also discussed her father’s battle with opioid addiction.
