AceShowbiz - The first ever "Teen Mom: The Next Chapter" reunion featured a major drama. During the Tuesday, December 20 special episode, cast member Briana DeJesus refused to film a group segment with co-star Ashley Jones after they allegedly had a fight during the taping of "Teen Mom: Family Reunion" season 2.
Alongside Jade Cline, Leah Messer, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Catelynn Lowell and Cheyenne Floyd, Briana was already out on stage at the beginning of the show. Producer Larry Musnik then announced, "Ashley's going to sit down and we're going to all be good."
Amber, who got physical with several individuals on the show over the years, appeared to be offended by the remark, saying, "You think any of us were going to do anything anyways?" To that, Larry responded, "No, of course not."
Meanwhile, Briana reacted dramatically at the mention of Ashley's name. "The set up is not what I want it to be and I don't feel comfortable," Briana said out loud before picking herself up and walking off stage. Jade followed suit and went looking for Briana, who was crying backstage.
"I just thought that I could do it, but I know I can't. I can't," she said of being on stage with Ashley, adding, "It's just major anxiety, and this is my first time seeing her and I don't think I can keep my composure."
The other cast members, meanwhile, were confused by the situation. Briana said that she would join the cast "in a minute," but she never actually appeared on stage with the ladies during the group segment. She only came out to discuss her personal storyline in the final few minutes of Part 1.
Briana's reaction was understandable considering the major fight she had with Ashley while filming season 2 of "Family Reunion". During their nasty fight, it was said that Ashley even spit on Briana.
