Oh, baby; Bristol Palin has given birth to a Grade-A gripe session.

Palin, the daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, took aim at MTV on Monday night, grousing about her portrayal on “Teen Mom OG.”

In a fiery Instagram post, Palin took issue with what she called the “fake fill-in Farrah Abraham/Jerry Springer BS” that she feels have characterized her segments on the series.

Palin vented about her portrayal in a post that began, “If I cared what people thought of me, I wouldn’t be here today — let’s be real.”

The reality TV personality continued, “I’ve stood strong and held it down for my kids since day one. No matter how bad @teenmom tries to portray my ‘life’ …. my babies, my family, my close friends — they know the TRUTH.”

Palin went on to sum herself up as a “pretty great mom” who gives her three children “a pretty great life.”

“I’m a pretty great mom, work my ass off, show up, and hustle everyday to give my kids a pretty great life. @mtv doesn’t want to talk about faith, show work ethic, or juggling three kids alone, they don’t want to show the humble process of starting over after a divorce, building a career, or any real life issues. All they want with my little segment each week is some fake fill-in Farrah Abraham/Jerry Springer BS, and it’s simply not true.”

In July, news broke that Palin, despite being 27 at the time, had signed on for “Teen Mom OG,” following the 2017 exit of franchise star Abraham.

While Palin did admit that she’s “said some mean things,” she knocked the “inaccuracies and false narratives” that have made every week “a continued disappointment.”

“Don’t get me wrong — I’ve said some mean things and learned a lot the last several months — but the life I’ve built for my kids is NOT sitting around talking about baby daddy drama. Every week is a continued disappointment with their inaccuracies and false narratives.”

Palin concluded, “I hate getting all emo on you guys, but I’ve kept quiet for too long about it. Don’t believe everything you see on TV.”

TheWrap has reached out to an MTV spokesperson for comment on Palin’s criticism, which you can read in full below.
