Teen Mom Confidential: Secrets & Scandals From MTV's Most Controversial Shows by Ashley Majeski, Sean Daly

independent caused a lot of problems in our relationship. I wasn't used to having anyone monitoring what I was doing.”
    She also wasn't accustomed to having an audience of millions analyzing her relationship and parenting choices on television. The overall experience with her episode of 16 and Pregnant “pissed me off,” she says. “I put my whole life out there, and they can't even bother to spell my son's name right?” Nevertheless, she eventually accepted an offer to continue her story on the spinoff Teen Mom 2 . And after a little prodding, a reluctant Jo signed on, too.
    The camera crews returned in June 2010, just as Kail and Jo's relationship began to flat line. This time the couple split for good and before long, Kail struck up a romance with coworker Jordan Wenner. That didn't sit well with Jo or Janet, who she once referred to as “a second mother.” By December 2010, Kail had moved out of the Rivera family basement, where she had been living after she and Jo had broken up, and into an apartment of her own.
    “I think Janet was very hurt and upset with how I left,” Kail says. “I think she is still upset about it.” Kail says she felt bad, too, despite the fact that season one episodes of Teen Mom 2 were edited to make it seem like she didn't. That Christmas, Kail wrote Janet a heartfelt letter, thanking her for all she had done. They tried to further smooth things over during the season one reunion special, which was taped in February 2011. But by then, things had gotten so bad with Jo that Kail refused to tell him where she and his son were living. Though viewers didn't get to see most of it, the couple had a huge blowup on stage while taping a segment with Janet and Dr. Drew Pinsky. Eyewitnesses say things got particularly heated when Jo criticized Kail for not telling him that she was dating Jordan, and continuing to hook up with him. Kail, in turn, revealed that Jo had cheated on her while she was pregnant -- with a 25 year old! Janet stepped in, aided by a team of MTV staffers, to try and stop the angry couple from airing any more dirty laundry.
    But for Kail, the real damage was done long ago. By participating on Teen Mom 2 , she has already exposed her most intimate moments to millions of judgmental viewers. She's also watched her private life - including reports Jo gave her a sexually transmitted disease, accusations she smoked marijuana during pregnancy, and rumors about multiple lesbian affairs in high school -- play out in tabloid headlines. So it's no wonder Kail was concerned that Javi might be nervous about putting his life on public display, too.
    “At first I think he was a little apprehensive about dating me and being on the show,” she admits. Kail also reveals that MTV tried to make it look as if they were set up by mutual friends at a bowling alley, but their introduction really came while she was working at a retail clothing store called Buckle in the Lehigh Valley Mall. “Javi and his brother come in. I assume his older brother is his dad and that gets us laughing,” she recounts on her personal website. “Javi lies to me about what he was shopping for... I eventually learn that he hates graphic tees. At check out he asks to take me for ice cream and I tell him 'No.' LOL. Hard to see that looking back I turned him down! Anyway, from there he came into Buckle again and we started forming a friendship via Twitter and Buckle visits. Eventually, I gave him my number.” Kail reveals she tried to keep the relationship from MTV producers for months, “but then he started to become such a big part of my life that we couldn't hide it any longer. After a while, I had to tell them about him.”
    Kail's relationship with Javi soon became serious, and the couple moved in together in 2012. However, the relationship hit a speed bump in the spring of 2012, when a fight between Kail and Javi escalated. The fight, which started due to a disagreement Kail and Javi were having in regards to
