Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry claims she has ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ from ‘narcissist’ ex Chris Lopez after he cut son Lux’s hair
TEEN Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry claimed she has “Stockholm Syndrome” as a result of her “narcissist” ex Chris Lopez.
Kailyn made the shocking revelation on Thursday’s Coffee Convos podcast, where she blasted Chris for cutting their 3-year-old son Lux’s hair without her permission.
“Until a judge makes me, I do not trust him,” Kailyn told her co-host Lindsie Chrisley.
“Especially with threats of like shaving it off, [he’s] like ‘oh, you’re lucky I didn’t scalp him.’ Like who the f*** says that?”
“This is someone who doesn’t have any type of custody,” she raged, after revealing she was told the chopped locks were apparently put in a letter from Chris.
“Unless you are in a relationship with a narcissist and have low self-esteem, which I have and have had for a long time, you can’t understand it,” Kailyn said.
“You can’t understand the abuse, the trauma, the grooming – all of that. It’s literally like I would compare it to Stockholm Syndrome.
“So, for me, it unfortunately took two kids with this man to realize the type of person he is.
“And the fact that the behavior is getting worse, is absolutely mind-blowing to me.
“I didn’t – I couldn’t – imagine that he was a narcissist before all of this, like, I truly couldn’t. And now, I’m truly blown away.”
The Teen Mom 2 starlet shares her youngest two children, Lux and Creed, with Chris – and has sons, Isaac, 10, with ex Jo Rivera, and Lincoln, 6, with ex-husband Javi Marroquin.
Throughout the segment, she reiterated that she wouldn’t be entrusting Lux to Chris.
“I said on the way out ‘don’t ever reach out to me about him,” she said. “Until a judge tells me that I do not have a choice – I mean, we’re talking about someone who wanted to sign off his rights.”
Earlier this week, Kailyn shared a “before” shot of her son’s long hair and then an “after” photo of it with a few inches missing, writing: “Parenting with a narcissist be like…” and “Control tactic” on the second image.
She also alleged in an Instagram Live story that Chris “can choke me, you can put your hands on me, you can burn my book on social media, you can cheat on me” but said he was not allowed to interfere with her children.
After being slammed publicly by his baby mama for cutting Lux’s hair, Chris went on his own Instagram to share his side of it all.
“If I [want] to cut my son’s hair, I’ll be real with y’all,” he said during an IG Live video.
“I’ve been wanting to cut my son’s hair, so the fact that I cut off a little bit of his edges, she should be happy I didn’t f***ing scalp his a**, alright?
“That’s my son, so if I decide to make a decision on my son or anybody, I can. I can,” he said.
“Some people should learn how to keep they mouth shut,” Chris declared, adding that people were “really testing my patience.”
During this week’s podcast with Lindsie, Kailyn described Chris’ “scalping” threats as “terrifying.”
Meanwhile, Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans weighed in on the controversy surrounding Lux’s haircut, labelling his mom “difficult.”

The 28-year-old mother of three told Kailyn that she needs to be better at “co-parenting” and that she “would have cut” the toddler’s hair too.
“I would have cut that little boy’s hair too,” Jenelle said in a series of tweets. “Just co-parent peacefully because no matter how much of a grudge you have against the father.
“There’s nothing that will ever prevent them from visitation rights #Truth.”
