Fourteen years after she appeared on “16 and Pregnant,” Season 4 star Hope Harbert opened up about the pressure she felt from the show’s producers to do things she wasn’t comfortable with on-camera, under the guise of helping to prevent future teen pregnancies.

Hope— who appeared on Monday’s episode of “Hollywood Demons: Surviving 16 and Pregnant” (alongside The Ashley!)— also discussed her feelings about taking part in the MTV series and succumbing to producers’ demands.

“MTV did kind of sell me on it,” Hope said in the episode. “Like, [they told me] ‘Oh, it’s going to stop the stigma on being young and pregnant. It’s going to help other people choose birth control.'”

Unfortunately for Hope– and many of the girls who appeared on the show’s six seasons— that wasn’t the case.

“I’m not sure if I even helped anyone,” she said. “I don’t know that my story made it easier for someone else. I think all it did was hurt me.”

Hope also spoke about the producers’ mortifying decision to make much of her episode’s storyline about how much weight she was gaining. 

“When my episode aired on TV, they were focusing on my weight,” she said. “MTV did the cartoon of my cankles dancing. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh this is so embarrassing.”

Despite Hope’s protests, she said the filming continued to center around her weight gain, with the producers even bringing in her then-boyfriend Ben Lagle to be present for the doctor’s appointment in which Hope’s weight reached over 200 lbs.

“I had just broke 200 lbs.,” Hope said of the scene, in which the cameras made sure to zoom in on the number on the scale. “One, for the whole world to see and your new boyfriend that you don’t even have a solid relationship with, to see your weight… I just started crying.”

Hope also claimed that the producers pressured her heavily into putting on a bathing suit during her episode, likely in an effort to get footage to go along with the “weight gain” storyline they were building for her.

“They were like, ‘We need to film this scene going to the lake.’ I did not want to be on-camera in a swimsuit,” she said. “But they’re like, ‘Well let’s just do it. It will be fun.'”

Hope said the producers eventually got her to strip down to her bathing suit, despite her being incredibly uncomfortable with filming the scene.

Dr. Drew Pinsky— who hosted all of the “16 and Pregnant” Reunions and also appeared on ‘Hollywood Demons’— defended the producers’ decision to heavily focus on Hope’s weight, stating that weight gain “is one of the realities of being a pregnant woman. I’m sure they wanted to portray that.” 

Hope says she was also uncomfortable with filming her C-section— something she said the producers were “so excited” to be able to capture on film for the first time in the series’ history.

“I’m feeling all this pressure [to film it]. I already have anxiety…and these cameras all around me,” she remembered. “I just remember being so scared.”

Hope stated that she hasn’t watched her “16 and Pregnant” episode again, due to how she felt when she remembers those moments.

“It brings up a lot of feelings I don’t care to relive again,” she said. “…I don’t know that I necessarily want to go back and look at it.”
