Jason Korpi and Kylen Smith are quite the hot topic lately. Jason has been accused of being overcontrolling with Kylen, and was even removed from the hospital during her labor because he was becoming verbally abusive to her while she was giving birth.
Now, Kylen herself is addressing claims that Jason is abusive.

According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Unexpected fans have started a petition to get Jason Korpi off the show. On the May 8 episode, he verbally abused Kylen Smith while she was in labor.
“What did you think, it was gonna be easy as **** to have a kid,” he told his teen girlfriend during the episode.
“Why is TLC okay with showing this abusive relationship? It’s hard for me to watch knowing that he is getting paid for this,” the change.org petition that was started last month read.
“Jason is an abuser,” one person wrote in the petition’s comments. “TLC is allowing a victim of domestic abuse to be filmed and doing nothing about it.”
“This has been broadcast as [domestic violence] at its finest,” another fan wrote. “And to know the abuser will get paid for his actions is disgusting. I think TLC will get shut down for not helping [Kylen].”
Kylen and Jason opted to have a natural birth. Jason felt he wouldn’t be able to be as close to Kylen if she gave birth in a hospital, which is something that already rubbed fans the wrong way. While Kylen was in labor, Jason refused to take her to a hospital after the birthing center midwife said it was necessary due to Kylen’s vitals. Jason was angry, saying that everything “sucked” and that no one cared about what he had to say.
When they finally got to the hospital, the staff recommended that Kylen get an epidural, which was not a part of the couple’s birthing plan. Kylen wanted the epidural but was afraid that it would upset Jason, who was already calling her a drug addict for wanted pain management.
Kylen ultimately agreed to get the epidural, which caused Jason to start yelling at her. The nurses and doctors eventually decided to remove Jason from the hospital altogether since he was causing unnecessary stress for Kylen.
On Reddit, a fan shared screenshots that claim Jason is still abusing Kylen. The fan who initially shared them on Facebook said that someone close to Kylen had reached out to TLC warning them about the situation.
It is unclear what is truthful and what is not, but overall the sentiments are the same: Kylen may not be safe with Jason. Some have been blaming the show for the escalation of their relationship problems, while others think it may just be a toxic situation.
Now, an insider has spilled even more tea.
