TEEN Mom star Cory Wharton broke down in tears as he revealed he plans to stay on the show after girlfriend Taylor Selfridge was fired for posting racist tweets.
Cory has insisted he won't be parting ways with MTV and the popular television show, even though they cut his daughter's birth special from Tuesday's episode too.
Getting visibly emotional, Cory took to his Instagram Stories to set the record straight regarding the recent drama.
"I wanted to make sure my response isn't just out of pure emotion," he told his fans.
"I took the day and the chance to basically write everything out…" he continued, before having to compose himself.
Taking some deep breaths, he said: "If my little crybaby butt would stop being emotional about this!"
He then said: "This needs to be understood, I’m not going anywhere! Let me be the first one to say I’m not going anywhere. I’ve learned that burning bridges is not the solution."
"Even though I have no ill-will against MTV, I’m disappointed, I’m hurt and I’m saddened by their decision."
Cory continued: "As all of you know, narrative is a very powerful tool," he continued. "I feel like the narrative that you guys want about me should be accurate, it should be true and it should be from me."
Once again getting upset, Cory then said: "I don't know why I'm getting so emotional man, this just hurts.
"But it's going to be on YouTube, I'll be commenting about how this whole situation played out. Where I stand, and where my family stands.
"I really don't know what else to say. Thank you guys for the positive support, all the messages, I love you guys, I really do.
"We'll be showing the birth of my daughter Mila on our YouTube channel and this time we get to control the narrative, and I'm really excited for you guys to see it."
Referring to MTV again, Cory said: "I'm not here to bash anybody. I've had my conversations with MTV and they know how I feel about this.
"I'm really trying to keep everything positive. I'm not one of those people who would throw anyone else under the bus just to help myself.
"It’s just hard, man. It’s tough right now, I’m not gonna lie to y’all, it’s tough. … But we got this.
“Taylor’s strong and she’s pulling through and I’m super proud of her," he continued.
"I feel like she’s apologized for this many times on the network and she’s probably gonna continue to have to apologize for it."
Taylor is the latest Teen Mom star to be axed from the network in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
She will no longer be appearing on Teen Mom OG – or any other MTV shows – after her and Cory's Teen Mom OG At Home: Cory & Taylor’s Baby Special was pulled from the air.
The episode was scheduled to air on Tuesday, June 9, and was heavily promoted on the network.
However, Taylor insists she wasn't fired but actually decided to quit the series.
