Gossip Teen

As the girls of Teen Mom prepare for their final season, they’re taking time to look back and reflect on the show that made them all household names. Earlier this week Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell sat down with E! News to share their thoughts and feelings about their journey to the final season of their hit MTV reality show.

According to Abraham, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, the final season of Teen Mom is bittersweet.

We’re excited to see the last season of us and how much we’ve grown… [There's] a lot of stuff we’ve gone through, so I think it will help other teens know that this is a hard situation.

Maci Bookout, who recently broke up with boyfriend Kyle Regal, also weighed in on how much has changed since the girls teamed up for the first season of 16 & Pregnant.

I feel like in this season you finally see us as adults. When I look back and see our 16 and Pregnant episodes or our casting tapes or previous seasons of Teen Mom, I’m like, ‘You are such a child!’ And I thought I was such an adult… And the kids are kids now!… Like, they’re not toddlers, they’re not babies… they’re talking, they’re wild. They’re like their own little personality.

As far as the groups’ relationship with recently-jailed cast mate Amber Portwood, the girls were nothing but supportive.  Catelynn Lowell had this to say:

I definitely keep in contact with her. I just wish her the best… Hopefully she gets done whatever she needs to get done. People need to support her and stop bashing her all the time. People just really need to forget the past and just be there for her and try to support her so she can just to what she needs to do. People are very mean to her…

The final season of Teen Mom kicks off June 12th at 10pm!

Just in time for Amber Portwood’s arraignment, MTV has released a trailer for the 4th and final season for the original Teen Mom cast.  Joining Amber for their final season as MTV reality stars (and, quite frankly, for the last time any of these girls will ever be considered “celebrities”) are the show’s three other original members, Maci Bookout,  Farrah Abraham and  Catelynn Lowell.

Season 4 promises a whole new string of heartbreaks for the girls – from Amber’s trouble with the law, to Maci attempting to explain her breakup with Kyle King to her three-year-old son Bentley, (get out the tissues, ladies!) this season promises to be the most emotional one yet!

Teen Mom Season 4 premieres June 12th.  Check out the trailer below!
