Kail Lowry is hitting back at fans who are critiquing her decision to move her latest boyfriend, Ike Knighton, into her home shortly after her ex-fiancé Elijah Scott moved out. During an interview for her podcast’s Patreon released this week, the former Teen Mom 2 star also addressed comments she’s received from fans comparing her actions to those of her own problematic mother, Suzi.
As ‘Teen Mom 2’ fans are aware, Kail has been estranged from her mother, Suzi, for years due to Suzi’s alleged alcoholism and her frequently choosing men over Kail. Although Suzi appeared on Kail’s episode of 16 and Pregnant and in early episodes of ‘Teen Mom 2,’ Kail has been no contact with her mom for over a decade.
Although Kail admitted in Part 1 of the interview that moving Ike into her home with her seven kids was “selfish,” in Part 2, she denies that she’s anything like her mom.
“Some people will argue that I’m the same as my mom but with money,” Kail said. “I’ve heard that several times. I’m thinking back to my
childhood and the men my mom had me around.”
Kail went on to say that the men Suzi actually married (or was in long-term relationships with) never “hurt her” and, in fact, were helpful to her and her mom.
“It was the men in between that she also had me around that were the dangerous ones,” Kail said. “So, I think in some ways that’s my justification [for having a lot of long-term relationships].”
Kail— who shares seven kids with four baby daddies— also disputed claims that, like Suzi, she puts her boyfriends before her kids’ well-being.
“The assumption is I don’t think about my kids,” Kail said. “Contrary to that, I would say I did think about what kind of person he is before I brought him into the rest of my kids’ lives. I didn’t just meet [him]. It’s not like I met him on Tinder. I’m not saying there are unsafe
people on Tinder but I didn’t just meet him for the first time and introduce him to my kids.
“I’ve known him since pretty much high school, not in-depth obviously,” Kail said, adding that her friends did a background check on Ike before she moved him into her home.
Kail said her connection to Ike was so strong that she moved quicker than she normally would in a new relationship (and even made an exception to her rule of not dating any men with kids, since Ike has a child.)
“I don’t think I expected to have a full-blown relationship but I think after the first time we hung out I think both of us just knew what it was,” she said. “… We’ve been in toxic environments in the past and acknowledged where we’ve been toxic in the past and acknowledged we both want the same things moving forward. We don’t waste time. We’re ready to be committed and faithful to somebody and I felt we were both on the same page with that.
“…You cannot deny chemistry and attraction when it’s there,” she later added. “… If I’m not happy as a woman first. I cannot be a good mom. And I’m not saying I’m relying on men for happiness because if we are being honest and you look at my track record they have all made me miserable.”
As The Ashley reported in October, Kail declared that she was going to attempt to get in contact with Suzi. This decision came shortly after Kail confronted her long-lost father in Texas just weeks before he died.
“We have to find Suzi,” she told her co-host Lindsie Chrisley during an episode of their Coffee Convos podcast.
At the time, Kail admitted that she does share some personality traits with her mom.
“Suzi is textbook narcissist, and I think that just by being her daughter I have picked up some of those traits,” Kail said. “But I think I can also recognize what’s not OK.”

At least her mother had the excuse that she was a drunk…this is kail totally sound mind…
We don’t have to tell her what a horrible mother she is guys…her children, especially the two oldest will be letting her know quite soon…
She will be facing a decade of no contact shortly
That gorilla chooses men over her kids all the time. Her and Jeanelle definitely have that trait. She loves to talk about therapy, but her relationships end in kids and breakup. The kids grow up with a very liberal mom and no father figure in their lives. As the kids get older they become the embodiment of the lgbt movement. Get those tubes tied!
If I had the amount of money she has and the amount of children the last thing I would be doing is dating and being in relationships constantly.. your kids lose time when you date around plus they have a billion siblings to compete with
Honestly, Kail would probably be less insufferable if she also had a purse full of vodka.
I shouldn’t have laughed as hard as I did at this 🤣
She can’t be without a guy.
She started dating Jordan when she was broken up with Jo but still living in his parents home. Then came Javi. I lost count after that, but there has literally never been alone for even close to a decent period of time.
Broken, broken woman creating broken children.
So, her mom’s long-term partners were safer than her mom’s short-term flings. Therefore, as long as Kail intends for the relationship to be long-term, her new boyfriend can’t be unsafe. Am I understanding this correctly?
So delusional. Just trying to rationalize and too blind or dim to see the logical fail.
Children need stability and consistent role models.
Agree. So how does she still
Have full sole custody? Because she has a tv show. Get the f out
Yeap thats the summary of Kails trail of thought!
She’s one of those people who can’t be alone for five minutes. Like being in a relationship, any relationship somehow equates success. I feel sorry for the kids, it must be so confusing and weird to have so many people in their lives like revolving doors. They get used to one guy, then bam! Kail basically has a stranger living with them. And I’m sure Kail likes to play happy family and force them altogether while they are getting used to Eli not being around. The kids seemed particularly close with him too, so Kail is incredibly selfish moving this guy and literally choosing men over her kids.
LMAO oh come on… We all know it’s true- She IS Suzi but with money… but she’s going to talk her way around it and justify why she’s “Different” than her mother is/was. “… If I’m not happy as a woman first. I cannot be a good mom. And I’m not saying I’m relying on men for happiness because if we are being honest and you look at my track record they have all made me miserable.” Ummmm, rewind- You CAN be happy as a woman, without a man, Kail. You CAN be a good mom without a man involved. It’s 100% possible and honestly something you SHOULD do for an extended amount of time, prior to getting into a relationship. I am one of those women/moms. I have twin 13 year old sons and a six year old son, and I haven’t dated anyone since the 6 year old’s father and honestly? I am probably the happiest I’ve been. My life is uncomplicated. It’s calm and peaceful. The majority of my attention is on my kids, the rest goes to my sobriety, work and to myself. You have to make your own happiness. My mom had lots of men around my brothers and I and from what I know, none of us were abused in any way by PURE luck. My mom and I have a good relationship, but I have never pretended that point in my life wasn’t painful for me. It was also painful because we did get attached to some of them AND their kids (if they had any), only for things to not work out. The truth is Kail, You ARE CLEARLY relying on men for your happiness and of COURSE at the onset/beginning you didn’t know what would become the outcome, so this guy could end up likely making you miserable as well. You honestly can’t say you know it’s going to work out now, just as you couldn’t before. SMH. Get into therapy and put a wedge in the revolving door of men in your AND your children’s lives. My God- are you THAT dense?!
“I’m not saying I’m relying on men for happiness, I’m just saying it’s okay I moved my boyfriend of 2 weeks into my home because I need to be happy to be a good mom.”
Is she going to therapy? She needs it ASAP. She’s addicted to have a man in her life, she can’t be single for a minute but she also needs the man to be right there with her. She has 7 kids, ffs. Who’s raising them?
She is very damaged and doesn’t see it. She is an adult and can choose who she has in her life, her children on the other hand cannot, and there lies the problem. Unfortunately statistics show, they too will be damaged.
You could tell with the few interactions between kail and suzi on the show, that there was a lot of pain there for kail. A lot of hurt from a mother who didn’t love her. Kail is not the same as Suzi. We all screw up as parents and even as humans in general. Kail has made her own set of mistakes like we all do, but she loves her kids and they, without a doubt, know that she does.
She is a ran through 🤡
Background checks cannot be relied upon. Case in point. My sister’s ex brother in law repeatedly raped his oldest daughter. His new wife did a background check. He passed. She thought he was a good man because he went to therapy and he lied about his reasoning for going. He let his one son die of pediatric heart cancer because he waited until less than 12 hrs before his death to take him to a Dr…. And a whack Dr at that. He passed a background check because his oldest daughter hadn’t yet gathered the courage to turn her father in… It took her graduating high school and having a baby a 19 for her to realize she needed to do the hardest thing she’s ever done. The police had her call her father and record the conversation where she confronted him and he admitted what happened. He pled guilty without fighting. He is now serving 20-40 years, no plea deal. Background checks are only good if the person has been caught, Kail.
This, my abuser is soon to be buried in Arlington National and worked in the pentagon. Doesnt mean shit.
Exactly. I know people who have or had ts/sci security clearances and worked at Nsa, CSI Pentagon, etc and have passed polygraphs and background checks every few years as well as drug test while using drugs and have done dubious and illegal shit. Bad people work the system all the time. It’s up to us as parents to use good judgement and to NOT be selfish when it comes to the safety and mental well-being of our children. So she knew him growing up. Big deal. We may know someone for a long time but not necessarily know what goes on behind closed doors. Everyone has skeletons in their closet and with kids, you should be taking the time to allow those skeletons to be found.
I’m sorry you went through what you did while your abuser is being glorified at ANC. It must be very frustrating and hurtful.
Kail went on to say that the men Suzi actually married (or was in long-term relationships with) never “hurt her” and, in fact, were helpful to her and her mom.
“It was the men in between that she also had me around that were the dangerous ones,” Kail said. “So, I think in some ways that’s my justification [for having a lot of long-term relationships].”
1- This makes no sense
2-What exactly does Kail consider as a “Long Term Relationship”? She’s been through more men than most people change their underwear.
Couldn’t the guy just get his own place nearby, they could date like normal people, and her kids could get to know and trust him first???
Ass backwards, as always.
Maybe she’s a sex addict.
She builds entire relationshits based solely on sexual attraction.
Just like Jenelle.
You can get laid without needing to move the guys in have (yet another) baby with them.
Or exposing them to your children. Or hell, toys.
She sounds as delusional as Jenelle.
Didn’t she say the same thing about all the other soulmates?
Uh-oh, day by day she’s turning into Jenelle.
Lord knows we don’t need 2 of ’em!
I don’t think she chooses men over her kids.
But she definitely chooses men in her best interests, instead of her kids best interests.
It’s not good to parade all these males in and out of their lives. You’re not demonstrating love or healthy relationships.
How after years of therapy does she not understand this?
My mom wasn’t neglectful but she also paraded man after man around us and in our house. And all ill say is..I hope those kids have locks on their doors
“You cannot deny chemistry and attraction when it’s there,” she later added. “… If I’m not happy as a woman first. I cannot be a good mom.”
Kail I think when ppl say that, it means you can’t be a good mom if you’re depressed, exhausted, unhappy. NOT that you parade a million men (strangers!!!!!) into your house to appease your own trauma.
Also, adults are able to manage attraction to another adult without making sudden and reckless decisions. It’s called self control and maturity.
I like Kail, but I cannot get on board this train. Her kids were devastated by her prior breakups. The kids get attached. If she jumps into a new relationship, that’s fine, but don’t move them into the house or have them around the kids for at least 6 months in case it doesn’t work out. Kail has a history of getting with guys that cheat. Then she gets with a guy who is a known cheater. This time it’s different….until it’s not. This is the person she moves into the house ASAP. She’s trying so hard to break the trauma cycle of her childhood. She’s not an alcoholic, but these failed relationships are traumatic to her kids. Eventually the kids are going to put up an emotional wall to prevent getting attached to people because eventually they will leave.
Kail just loves to be Loud and Wrong. She contradicts herself w/ basically every sentence. She all Vibes and no Logic, which is fine if you don’t have seven fricken children. She’s got mental illnesses that need attention and her current therapist ain’t cutting it.
She ALWAYS does this – justifies her actions, and then months or even YEARS later be like ‘woop I was wrong.’ No self reflection whatsoever. She is smarter and knows better than everyone because she’s always around “yes” people
Reading novels doesn’t make you smarter at life chile
I think what she’s missing is that you don’t have to be the same in every way… to perpetuate the cycle.
Like Tyler and Kate… They wanted to save their child from a toxic cycle they knew, but think they are victorious because they aren’t on drugs, and totally miss the forest for the trees.
Rose colored glasses… are really effective.
I doubt any of her kids will be in contact with he4 by the tume they’re 30
All 7 of her kids will be no contact bt rhe time they’re 30 guaranteed
It’s giving “I’m a damn good mom”
Usually when you are a good mother you don’t feel the need nor do you have the time to be on social media trying to convince every person on the internet that you’re a good mom.
Sounds to me like she feels overwhelmed and very unsure of herself coming from such an unstable background.
I would like to think Kail had matured enough by now to see the toxic cycle she is dragging her kids through but when she talks about her relationships it is a lot of crack head logic.
On a Sunday you were in a family vacation with your fiancé and by Friday you had a whole new dude moved into your house with your kids. And she still thinks she’s a good mom, thinking of her kids best interest…crack head logic.
Also, How do we know for sure Kail was not the one cheating on the Keebler elf with the new wiener of the week?
Kail is like what the AA folks call a “dry drunk”. Even though she is not drinking or using drugs, her behaviors are addict like. Kail’s addiction is to drama. I think she used to enjoy going to court for all the kids visitation/child support stuff. Kail is nearly as bad as Amber with moving new dudes into the family home.
BINGO! I am in recovery (I’ll have five years 4/10) and this is EXACTLY correct and what I think too!
Denial, denial, denial.
This, with some rationalization thrown in.
