The network announced Tuesday that it shelved Selfridge and boyfriend Cory Wharton's special episode, `Teen Mom OG at Home: Cory & Taylor's Baby Special,` because of offensive tweets.

Selfridge, 25, originally appeared on `Are You the One?` in 2017 and `Ex on the Beach` in 2018, where she met Wharton, 29. He has appeared on `The Challenge` and `The Real World.` 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.

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 `Vanderpump Rules` stars Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni over past remarks and actions, particularly after it was revealed that Schroeder and Doute allegedly called the police on former co-star Faith Stowers, who is black. MTV also severed their relationship with Dee Nguyen from `The Challenge` over offensive tweets relating to race.

Selfridge previously apologized for her remarks on Season 8 of `Teen Mom,` saying, `At the time, because I was younger, I wasn't thinking it was anything negative. I thought 'Oh, this is funny' or something like that, but it's not. This happened a long time ago.`

She also reacted to MTV not airing her special on Instagram: `I 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't believe the reality TV lifestyle benefits me any further at this point in my life,` she wrote in a post for her 884,000 followers on her Instagram, which has since been made private.
