Briana talked about her feud and current lawsuit with co-star Kailyn Lowry, 29, in the episode, although viewers became focused on her seemingly swollen lips.
The 27-year-old was sitting in her car speaking to the camera with a face mask pulled down under her chin, exposing her fuller lips.
Fans shared their opinions on Reddit where one person wrote: “Brianna’s swollen lips look AWFUL. These girls have to stop with the fillers.”
A second user questioned the star’s appearance around her mouth adding: “Is it filler that made Briana’s lips look like that? Those marks or whatever they are?”
While a third agreed that they didn’t love her altered look, writing: “Definitely looks like filler! It’s so bad.”
The mom of two later confirmed on her Instagram Stories that she had gotten her lips done prior to filming resulting in the bruising.
She also cleared up questions about the discoloration on her chin saying that it’s a melasma spot that she’s had since her pregnancy with her oldest child.
Other comments centered around Briana and Kailyn’s longstanding battle as some called their dispute “petty.”

Kailyn sued Briana in June after she claimed the star “physically beat” the father of her two youngest boys and broke into his mother’s home.
In Kail’s initial complaint, her legal team claimed that her co-star’s comments are false and were made “for the purpose of causing Lowry harm.”
In response, the TV star later received a a treadmill as a gift from Briana, seemingly taking a dig at her nemesis who has been open about her weight struggles.
After much back and fourth between their lawyers, the pair’s court hearing is set for March 29, though their contention is still being played out on the show.
Briana discussed their legal issues during the episode telling the cameras: “Kailyn is trying to sue me for defamation of character – I don’t even know if I’m saying it right,” she said rolling her eyes.
She made light of the situation saying: “I got summoned and I looked at who’s trying to summon me and I laughed.
Her rant continued: “So I guess you would call that white privilege, I don’t know. I guess I would call her a Karen because that’s what she is.
“I’m f**king annoyed at this point, but whatever, someone needs a storyline, so I guess, we’re just going to take it as it comes.”
PODCAST BEEF
Tension between the two heated up even more when it was revealed that Briana will appear on Kail’s ex Chris Lopez’s podcast.
A boomerang post circulated of Chris dancing and Briana laughing with a sticker which read “Stay Tuned” to promote the upcoming episode.
The post resurfaced on Instagram on a Teen Mom fan account, and they captioned it: “It looks like we might be finally getting to hear Chris and Briana’s podcast episode.”
Briana also relayed her plans to her sister Brittany on Teen Mom 2 while asking her for help picking up her two daughters at school.
When Brittany pressed the young mom about her plans, Briana admitted that she was going to Philadelphia to see Chris, 27.
She explained their relationship saying that they communicate “sometimes” on social media and later exchanged numbers.
Brittany showed her disapproval, responding: “Girl, you just being messy.”
Briana continued to detail the reason for their meetup, claiming he asked her to be a guest on his podcast called P.T.S.D. – Pressure Talks With Single Dads, to get a “single mom perspective.”
Her sister immediately questioned her motive for participating in the podcast given her history with Chris’ baby mama.
“Why are you doing it? To get back at her?,” she asked, in which Briana denied that revenge was not her intention.
“It’s gonna cause drama, you know that,” Brittany continued. “There’s enough drama with this b***h, you don’t need no more.”
The TV star insisted that her meeting with Chris is strictly business-related as the two are getting together in neutral zones rather than their respective cities.
“There’s no, like, other motives. I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me like that. There’s no, like, sneaky links going on. It’s just something that we’re gonna do,” she explained.
MORE DRAMA
Brittany didn’t seem sold on the idea, reminding Briana of the drama that could erupt down the line.
The TV personality, however, didn’t agree and said: “I see how there could be, but there shouldn’t be.”
Her sister clapped back: “But there will be,” repeating the statement multiple times to the camera.
Briana then supported her theory by bringing up her ex Devoin Austin’s guest appearance on Kailyn’s podcast, Coffee Convos, back in April.
Brittany clapped back, reminding Briana of Kailyn’s lawsuit, which she filed in response to previous comments her co-star made about her involving Chris.
Fans appeared to side with Brittany, calling out Briana’s behavior in the comments with one person writing: “Bri did this to be messy and get back at kail for having Devoin on her podcast .”
While a second user echoed the statement, adding: “Notice Brianna smirk when Brittany said that it was going to cause trouble. She KNEW exactly what she was doing.”
And a third chimed in with similar thoughts, commenting: “Bri trying to find a way to be dramatic and get attention.”
As a fourth also replied: “Brittany called it RIGHT. Bri is being MESSY! She knew what she was doing.”
