\n MTV has cut ties with reality star Taylor Selfridge.<\/p>\n

The network announced Tuesday that it shelved Selfridge and boyfriend Cory Wharton\u2019s special episode, \u201cTeen Mom OG at Home: Cory & Taylor\u2019s Baby Special,\u201d because of offensive tweets.<\/p>\n

\u201cMTV pulled [the special] and is ending our relationship with Taylor Selfridge in light of her past racist statements on social media<\/a>,\u201d an MTV spokesperson told People. \u201cMTV strongly condemns systemic racism and stands with those raising their voices against injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selfridge, 26, originally app<\/a>eared on \u201cAre You the One?\u201d in 2017 and \u201cEx on the Beach\u201d in 2018, where she met Wharton, 29. He has appeared on \u201cThe Challenge\u201d and \u201cThe Real World.\u201d The couple, who welcomed their first child together in April, self-shot footage of the weeks leading up to the birth in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

According to the Blast, Selfridge\u2019s past racist tweets include, \u201cWe have to greet everyone at work but sometimes I won\u2019t greet the Black people because they scare me,\u201d and \u201cMy uncle is dating an Asian. Aunt Ping please make me sushi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selfridge and Wharton are the latest examples of TV networks purging cast members in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. This week, Bravo fired \u201cVanderpump Rules\u201d stars Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni over past remarks and actions, particularly after it was revealed that Schroder and Doute allegedly called the police on former co-star Faith Stowers, who is black. MTV also severed their relationship with Dee Nguyen from \u201cThe Challenge\u201d over offensive tweets relating to race.<\/p>\n

Selfridge previously apologized for her remarks on a Season 8 of \u201cTeen Mom,\u201d saying, \u201cAt the time, because I was younger, I wasn\u2019t thinking it was anything negative. I thought \u2018Oh, this is funny\u2019 or something like that, but it\u2019s not. This happened a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also reacted to MTV not airing her special on Instagram: \u201cI made the decision last week to not film the next season of Teen Mom OG with Cory for the benefit of myself and my daughter. I don\u2019t believe the reality TV lifestyle benefits me any further at this point in my life,\u201d she wrote in a post to her 884,000 followers that has since been made private.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, I apologize for anyone I have hurt or offended in the past. I have addressed my mistakes many times on the network and I would like to move on and continue to be the best version of myself. My past does not define who I am today and I hope you guys can see the change. Please respect my decision to provide a normal, healthy life for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hours before the special was supposed to air Wharton was promoting it on his Instagram page, People reports. \u201cTonight I had the pleasure of shooting a one hour special about the birth of my youngest daughter Mila Mae Wharton,\u201d he wrote. \u201cDuring a Worldwide pandemic, I had one of the happiest days of my life and now I get to share it with you guys,\u201d he wrote on the social media platform.<\/p>\n

Selfridge and Wharton have a Youtube Channel with more than 58,000 subscribers called \u201cThe Wharton Family,\u201d where they document their lives raising their daughter and Wharton\u2019s 3-year-old son Ryder, who he had with his ex Cheyenne Floyd, also of MTV fame.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
