“I was on The Dr. Oz Show once. It was an episode about teen pregnancy. I thought it would be fun, so I agreed to be on the show. Basically, they wanted me to talk about my experience with a teenage pregnancy, and what I thought the impact of 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom<\/a> had on me. My point in going on the show was that I thought it was irresponsible to blame a TV show for something as serious as teenage pregnancy, and that it gave parents an easy way to get out of dealing with the situation at hand. The producer and a cameraman came to my house and interviewed me for like four hours. In the end, it was about two minutes of footage in which I look like I’m completely bashing the TV shows and blame them for my getting pregnant. They actually edited out anything intelligent I said, and then PUT IT INTO DR. OZ’S LINES!!! I literally saw my opinions being used against me; it was very bizarre.”<\/p>\n “So they had me on stage with Maci, Kailyn, and Leah from Teen Mom, and for the first part of the segment, I was totally dumbfounded and completely nervous. I didn’t really defend my position well at all in my opinion until after the ‘commercial break’. The second half of the segment was what I was really proud of, and I got it together enough to clearly articulate what I was going to say, then when the show aired, they completely edited out the second half.<\/p>\n Another shitty thing was that they tried to give me lines, and the producer kept coming into the room where I was getting ready, repeating them to me over and over. When I was so nervous in the first half of the show, I ended up spitting out something dumb about prom that they kept telling me to say. I then found out that all the ‘Teen Moms’ had a copy of the lines that I was supposed to say, and Maci absolutely owned me on stage over the prom comment. It was really embarrassing.”<\/p>\n
