Teen Mom 2: How Briana DeJesus Affected Kailyn & Leah's Friendship

screenrant.com:

Throughout Teen Mom 2season 11, Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer's formerly close friendship has been on hold, and their personal relationships with co-star Briana DeJesus may be one reason why they don't get along. Leah and Kailyn were both cast for the second Teen Mom franchise after appearing on 16 And Pregnant seasons 1 and 2, respectively. Despite their differences, the pair soon found themselves becoming friends on and offscreen. Kailyn and Leah have shared their various hangouts online over the years, and when the Lowry and Messer clans vacationed in the Dominican Republic together last summer, fans assumed that Kailyn and Leah were closer than ever.

Unfortunately for fans of their friendship, Leah and Kailyn have been dropping hints about their estrangement for months, while Teen Mom 2 season 11 has been airing. In the midst of her reheated drama involving Briana and ex-husband Javi Marroquin in March, Kailyn unfollowed everyone on Instagram except 11 people, including Leah. After Kailyn expressed that she was unable to trust anyone,Leah fired back with cryptic Instagram posts concerning troubled friendships, and mistaking kindness for weakness. During the first part of the season 11 reunion special, Kailyn appeared remotely after refusing to join Leah, Briana, Ashley Jones, and Jade Cline in person. Tensions ran high at the mere mention of Kailyn's name, and Briana and Jade's dislike towards Kailyn eventually led to Leah and Ashley walking off the stage.
