It’s been over four years since Kail Lowry quit “Teen Mom 2″ but she’s still determined to get herself— and her kids– back on reality TV.
During this week’s episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail told her co-host Lindsie Chrisley that she really wants to do a reality series about her family in the style of Chrisley Knows Best— the show Lindsie once starred on with her family.
“That style– would it be docu-comedy? Where it’s like reality but it’s kind of a funny spin on it?” Kail said. “That’s what I see for my family…my kids chew me up and spit me out every day. But we also have a lot of love in our house. So I think it would just be a funny take. The Kardashians is all girls, one boy. We’re all boys, one girl. And then the ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ docu-comedy vibe, I think that is the vibe for ‘Kail and the Chaos.'”
Back in 2024, Kail stated that she was “under contract” with a network to do a “Kail and the Chaos” show. No show ever materialized, something Kail says she shocked at.
“To be honest with you, I am a little bit surprised that all of my production deals have fallen through, because I can hold an audience,” Kail insisted. “I’ve proven that time and time again.”
She also revealed that she’s still currently contracted for that show.
“Right now, I’ve been under contract for my own reality show, on and off, for three, four years,” Kail said. “But the networks have already bought their programming for those years. So it’s so much harder, even though I’ve shown longevity and I’ve shown that I can hold an audience, to get into it is so hard.”
Although Kail having seven kids (by four different dads) is a topic a lot of people tend to want to discuss, Kail says she would not want to deal with baby daddy drama on her show.
“I don’t want to talk about my personal problems or my drama. I want it to be the funny spin on all the things [my kids do],” she said.
Kail— who shares son Elliott with Jo Rivera; son Lincoln with her ex-husband Javi Marroquin; sons Lux and Creed with Chris Lopez, and sons Rio and Verse and daughter Valley with Elijah Scott— says people will want to watch her kids.
“It’d basically be, like, manufactured comedy, but my kids– we’re already funny,” she said. “So we’re not being something we’re not… everybody has seen my kids be funny or heard my kids be funny. So, it’s not like it would be out of the question.”
Kail insisted that her kids want to be famous.
“I’m not one to push my kids into the spotlight but two kids of mine specifically want to be in the spotlight,” she said. “Elliott and Lux want to do movies, they want to do comedy, they want to do acting, they want to do all of that.”
Kail said she would rather do a show that has its filming scripted— or structured— rather than a “raw” show like ‘Teen Mom 2’ was.
“For me, coming from an unscripted reality show where anything that I said could be cut and pasted on another scene, and not having any control over what was being filmed or edited,” she said. ” In our contract [for ‘Teen Mom 2’] it literally said, ‘We can spin anything we want so it makes sense to the audience or how we see fit.’ Where, with scripted, you know ahead of time.”
Lindsie— who stated that she would “never participate in a scripted reality TV show ever again”— clarified to Kail that she still wouldn’t have control of the show’s editing, even if it was a “scripted” series.
“But I guess it would be less-focused on super deep and personal things,” Kail argued. “…it’s not sitting on a couch talking about baby daddies, because I’m— I make jokes about it but I hated filming about it.”
Kail and Lindsie then talked about how reality TV has changed in recent years from “raw” shows like ‘Teen Mom’ to more polished and structured series.
“It’s interesting to me the shift in reality TV now,” Kail said. “I don’t think things are— none of it was manufactured. It’s hard because I want to be careful about my words. When we filmed ‘Teen Mom,’ you could roll out of bed and film. There was no glam. There was not hair and makeup. There was nothing.”
“It was real and raw,” Kail continued. “Yes, there were certain things that we knew we had to film about, or we knew we had to talk about, but now I feel like the shows that are most-successful are the ones that are in full hair and makeup– ‘Secret Lives [of Mormon Wives], Kardashians. Even ‘Chrisley Knows Best,’ you guys weren’t rolling out of bed and filming with your hair on top of your head in a f**king sloppy bun and in depression like I was.”
“There were plenty of seasons where I looked like a whole f**king slob kabob and nobody cared; I still had the same audience,” Kail said. “Now, I think people are so obsessed with glitz and glam and fame, and I think social media has a lot to do with that. So that’s what’s appealing to everyone. Everyone wants what’s not attainable to them. So that is what people are watching.
“They wouldn’t watch something like ‘Teen Mom’ today, where you’re rolling out of bed and it’s not glam and we’re, you know, trashy.”
Kail stated that she would be willing to appear on another show that had an ensemble cast of girls– but prefers that she is still in control.
“I’d love to have a KILLR Network show,” Kail said, stating that she’d want a show about all the women who do podcasts within her podcasting network.

I say this as a Certified Chrisley Hater, but Kail does not have an ounce of the charisma Todd Chrisley does to carry her own show. Kail’s show would end up like John and Kate Plus 8, where audiences are so put off by how obnoxious and awful the matriarch is that seeing the cute kids just becomes profoundly depressing knowing what kind of environment they’re growing up in.
Kail has this weird fantasy where she’s on a reality show and is universally beloved by audiences, with no criticism or haters responding to her behavior ever. It will never happen.
Kail is just not that interesting.
Kail’s level of delusion gives me straight up secondhand embarrassment for her… SMH. No one wants to see you on a show, Kail. You’re insufferable and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a moment where I found you or the kids humorous- unless if course we consider your gaggle of baby daddies. “I’ve shown I can hold an audience”… yeah Kail, we all are the audience for the sole reason we love to see just how many children you can pop out of your nasty gap with your umpteenth baby daddy. At this point maybe you should apply for Guinness book of world records for how many baby daddies one person could have…
Can we please stop exploiting your children for money???????? Damn, lady. Stop having kids with every guy you meet, stop bashing everyone you bred with for cash, and start acting like an adult!
A show about her kids being funny?! No one cares about that!!! We care (but also don’t) about who you’re banging this week and the drama! No one gives af about anything else
“ But the networks have already bought their programming for those years. So it’s so much harder, even though I’ve shown longevity and I’ve shown that I can hold an audience, to get into it is so hard.”
GIRL BE SO FR
“Everybody has seen my kids be funny”…who tf is everybody??? The delusion is STRONG with this one.
Kail, you’re still a slob kabob. No you cannot hold an audience. No one wants or asked for this. The only reason the small few pay attention to you now is because you are messy af. That’s it, its like a trainwreck. We laugh at you
What makes her think that the father’s will agree to have the kids filmed!!!????
Hopefully they won’t. That will make things interesting…
Trash bag and the crotch goblins. Does have a certain ring to it.
kail has zero self awareness. people absolutely watched teen mom for the rawness of it, and the fact that morons like her clammed up and didn’t want to talk about the actual drama anymore is why they lost their audience. the reason her shows fall through is clear: she’s refusing to film the REAL stuff people want to hear about: the drama. NO ONE, and i mean NO ONE, wants to hear you talk about your bathroom’s new floor tiles like you were doing on teen mom.
Nobody wants to see that much drama!
Kail, no one thinks you’re funny, no one wants a show about you. You’re a hypocritical train wreck. Just go away, please.
The only things this thing possesses is a delusional way over blown ego and reproducing with any man that looks at her. You getting paid for this shit show is over.
I don’t think kail has ever had a moment where I found her funny. Not in a witty way, not in a sarcastic way, not in a joking way. She’s always given an unstable, sneaky, dirty vibe tbh. The fact that she is trying to sell herself and her kids as the kardashians is hysterical.
None of the TM characters with the exception of Babs who wasn’t even one of the moms were or are funny. I love a good comedy but back in the day I tuned into TM for the trashtastic drama, not for laughs (well maybe laughed AT them). TM was the ONLY reality show I regularly watched back then and at that time I was the target audience for reality shows. None of the more polished shows held any appeal to me. Proud to say I never watched an episode of the Kardashians.
Now I have Babs screeching “you think this is funny!!” at Kiefer and Janelle stuck in my head. Now THAT was raw, messy reality TV gold. Kail bossing around nannies watching her litter of children while she designs her next McMansion, plans her next surgery or fancy vacation. HARD PASS! Snooze fest and I prefer true crime shows to fall asleep to.
You summed up her version of the show she wants perfectly.
I forgot to add while guzzling Starbucks milkshakes.
Did you see her ride that horse? Not the naked pictures horse.
Omg I forgot about that!!!
No Kail, you were part of an ensemble that could hold an audience. You, alone, can’t even hold your knees together much less string a sentence together that doesn’t involve spreading gossip and fanning the flames of drama. Take several seats because you are one of the worst, right up there with Jenelle, Amber, and Farrah.
I know this is not a nice comment and people will be right to trash it, but she does not make good looking kids. They aren’t cute and some are just strange looking, and others need to “grow into their faces” and are just scary looking now.
Okay, feel free to bash me. I know it isn’t nice, but it is true
The kids suffer enough already. No need for dragging them further down. However, i see your point, i think they will grow into themselves. And i for sure hope their mother doesnt give them her body dismorphia that she so stupidly flaunts all over the media
I’ll take it a step further. With all her team my money she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on surgery for herself and I don’t even like looking at her in articles let alone watch her on TV. She’s not a nice person inside and out keep it off TV.
I don’t like Kail either. She’s a shit person and a shit mom. She also has terrible choices when it comes to choosing sleeping partners. None of her baby daddies are good looking to me (that would totally be personal preference though). It stands to reason her kids would look somewhat like them. Sometimes kids take all the worst features of both parents too.
That said, a lot, if not most, mixed race children take time to come into their looks,their self really. Honestly, even non-mixed can, and many do. Still, it’s not the kids fault they have ugly parents, lol.
I mean yeah you’re right. But also no one cares about what her kids are doing. People only (sort of care) about her trashy dating life.
I prefer real reality shows, the ones where you get filmed on a regular day with a bun on your head, and.sweats, its called real life. And all the years I’ve watched Kailyn on Teen Mom, not once did I think she was funny. More like an angry cheater, who always had a self serving plan.
I agree. She has a valid point about the evolution of reality tv. I preferred it more raw too
Kailyn is a pompous windbag who completely overestimates her appeal.
No. Just no. And then no again.
What kind of a parent doesn’t want privacy fot their children?
Dear Kail. P.S.A….We do not care about you or the crotch goblins you keep squeezing out, we do not want to see you on tv or listen to your shitty podcast. Go away and get a real job and stop being a cum dump for any man that shows you 5 mins of attention.
She knows her time in the limelight is finite. She’s also tired of people bitching at her about how much she exploits her children.
Oh I know, well pretend they really, really, really want to do it themselves, then it’s not me doing it. Also, I’ll only take 60-80% of the money,because of course it’s my show and I did/do all the work. But, again, it’s a show about exploiting, sorry, introducing my kids to the general public for more profit….sorry again, to explore these tv careers they so desperately need to help fund my lifestyle when everything else I’m doing goes tits up….err…I mean careers they just want.
And also my kids aren’t like regular kids….they’re the cool kind. Just like I’m a cool mom…
Thank you!!! This 100%!! She has never been funny and maybe her kids are BUT everyone thinks their kids are funny. It’s not a new concept and it’s what started shows like AFV ’cause people sending in videos of the ‘funny’ things their kids did. We don’t episodes of her ‘version’ of AFV.
Please girl, no one wants funny from you. They want the real life of a mom with 7 kids and 4 baby daddies and the DRAMA from wrangling that.
Nothing about this woman having 7 children is entertaining. It’s so sad to witness what she subjects her children to, (namely, a plethora of men and the subsequent breakups,) that the kids could never be funny enough to overcome that feeling.
Everyone thinks their kids are funny. And most of her kids are far too young to consent. She needs to stop chasing fame and encourage her kids to excel in their hobbies and focus on ensuring successful futures by way of education. She’s so out of touch and thinks she has Kardashian money/fame. Who were already rich to begin with.
You know what? Hell yeah. Let’s add more dysfunction to the terrible family dynamics you and all the fathers of your children have created for a bunch of innocent kids. They definitely could use some more exploitation 🙄
Be so FKN for real right now 😂 she is not that interesting. Her kids are not that interesting. If she feels like she wants the world to see her kids, she can put them up on TikTok or YouTube like every other weird ass vlog mom
Omg she certainly has a highly opinion of herself and she appears to have way too much confidence, a sign she has none.
So let’s not be delusional, here is the reality.
She has no banter like Todd and Julie. (If she has a Todd this week).
She isn’t a strict parent therefore there will be no punishment or a Chase and Savannah rebellion.
She doesn’t have a Nanny Faye and she isnt funny like the cast of Chrisley knows best and she was temperamental towards crew members and she was very rude in general.
She only has all of her kids with her every second week so where would the content come from. She should have stuck with MTV instead if telling them she didn’t to be on the show anymore because her podcast paid triple what Mtv did.
Start a YouTube channel and if the content is succesful try again. But that would be way to much work for her too do.
