A TEEN Mom personality has shown her support after her co-stars were criticized for their parenting decisions.
In an exchange on X, formerly known as Twitter, Jade Cline, 26, spoke up for her fellow MTV stars Tyler Baltierra, 31, and Catelynn Lowell, 31.

In the incident, Tyler and Catelynn were slammed after they applied makeup to their eight-year-old daughter, Nova.
During Wednesday's all-new episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Nova appeared to be putting on eyeshadow in the bathroom before calling for her mom's help.
Tyler replied, but Nova snarked: “Dad, you don’t know makeup.”
Despite the response, Tyler grabbed the eyeliner pencil from her hand and began applying heavy strokes to her face.

On Twitter, some critics took umbrage with the scene.
"She's a bit young for eyeliner," one critic commented.
Another social media user wrote: "Catelynn and Tyler are so concerned about Nova's safety but they are putting makeup on the girl...um ok."
However, reality TV star Jade waded into the debate after replying to one such comment.

The comment read: "Serious question… Why sooooo much make-up? And why eyeliner at her age?"
Jade clapped back: "It’s for fun & she’s at her house. I don’t see the big issue. I remember make up was so fun to play in or wear when I was younger. My Mamaw would always buy me those little toxic free kid make up kits for fun. Loved it!"
Tyler then jumped into the thread, and added: "Dude fr tho!? She’s in the safest space possible here at home & if she wants to have fun & be creative, I refuse to limit her capacity to do so.
"Whether that be makeup, painting, drawing or anything, idc! If my baby girl wants to do her makeup, then you best believe imma do it."
"Totally agree," responded Jade.
THE GREAT DEBATE
Tyler and Catelynn share four children together: Rya, one; Vaeda, four; Novalee, eight; and Carly, 13 - who was adopted as a baby.
This isn't the first time the couple's allowance of makeup use has come under question.
In the video posted on the franchise's Instagram page, the couple spoke about a big family issue.
Catelynn sat at a table and composed a message for her younger brother, Nick.
The MTV star broke down in tears as she spoke to Tyler about wanting to mend her relationship with her sibling, at which point their Nova entered the room.
The young girl checked on her mom after she heard her crying, but fans were distracted by her full face of makeup, including thick, swooping eyeliner and what appeared to be false lashes.
One critic wrote: "Sort your young child's make-up out."
"She's too young for makeup," slammed another.

Another user asked: "... I know this isn’t the focus but does that child have eyeliner and lashes."
A fourth wrote: "I noticed that too and I can't believe they let her wear makeup like that so young!"
