A fan wanted to know during an Instagram Q&A session on Sunday: "What happened at the AirBnb?"

Kailyn shared the photo of the co*ckroach and wrote: "It seemed as though one of my baby's fathers showed up so we got up outta there."

She appears to be talking about Chris - who is the father of her sons Lux, 3, and Creed, 11, as she is on friendly terms with Jo Rivera - Isaac's dad - and Javi Marroquin - Lincoln's dad.

After a Teen Mom fan account drew Kailyn's post to the attention of viewers, critics accused her of using a "racial slur".

One wrote: "This is racist af and degrading!"

Another posted, "I’m from the South and was raised that it is a racial slur," while a third added: "I'm from the West Coast and that is racist here."

This was backed up by another user, who raged: "It is racist. Wtf?!"

Kailyn and Chris have had a strained relationship for months and regularly call each other out on social media.

Most recently, the exes were involved in a shouting matchon an episode ofTeen Mom 2, which had Kailyn yelling at Chris, and the father-of-two swearing at MTV producers.

Last September, Kailyn wasarrested after "punching Chris several timeswith a closed fist" after he cut their son Lux's hair without her permission.

This is not the first time Kailyn has been accused of being racist.

BRIANA'S CLAIMS

Last month, her Teen Mom costar Briana DeJesus claimed she's never been invited on Kailyn's podcast because she's "not white".

BrianaclaimedKailynwas willing to build bridges with Jenelle Evans and invited the former reality star on her podcasts.

The MTV star - who is of Puerto Rican descent - said she has never been asked on and said it could be because she's "non-Caucasian".

"While I really hope this isn't the case, it's not lost on me that she was willing to talk to Jenelle - who is white - yet won't move on with me when, up until recently, I was the only non-Caucasian cast member," she toldCeleb Buzz.

"There have been rumblings and reports regarding past racist tweets Kailyn interacted with, and again, while I'm hoping the color of my skin isn't a factor here it's certainly not lost on me that this point exists."

PREVIOUS BACKLASH

Earlier this year,Reddit usersuncovered past controversial posts that Kailyn had liked on Twitter.

One tweet that she liked from 2016 read: "I just want white girls to date me for a month out of guilt for Black History Month #slavereparations."

She also posted saying, "I just want to say that every life matters" before calling a critic "ignorant" when they claimed she was behaving like a "privileged white girl".

Kailyn oncescolded ex Jo Rivera regarding their son Issac, saying, "I think you forget about the fact that he’s half white and he’s half Hispanic."

"I feel like you dress him in the stereotypical way and I don’t like it… you dress him like a thug.”
