Is 'sMothered' on TLC scripted?

While TLC has now not come out and explicitly mentioned that the show is scripted, there are a lot of theories surfacing on the web that the show may be faux, especially as a result of the casting process. 

The show follows a couple of mother-daughter pairs, including Kathy and Cristina, Sunhe and Angelica, Dawn and Cher, Mary and Brittani, Marcia and Alena, and Laurie and Sara, all of whom likely got on the collection via an open casting call.

The casting page for the community reads: "Do you have an over-the-top and EXTREMELY CLOSE relationship with your mom or daughter? Is your mom or daughter your best friend and one another’s entire world? Do you take the traditional mom and daughter relationship to new heights? Do you and your mom/daughter live, work and/or travel together? Do you two literally do EVERYTHING together? Do you do things together that your friends wouldn’t do with their moms/daughters?"

The instructed for sMothered continues: "Are you closer with your mom/daughter than friends or family members and sometimes even spouses and significant others? If YES, we want to hear from you! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put you and your mom/daughter’s incredible bond center stage and have the time of your life!"

However, there is recently an active Instagram account known as @smotheredisfake that posts about what they suspect are fake facets of the show. "I am an aspiring student investigative journalist and found sMothered @tlc is scripted-based on created by @blingduo My student thesis 'reality programs [sic],'" the bio reads.

Although this is no longer a respectable supply whatsoever, between claiming that positive forged contributors are actresses, that the approach they act on the series is "crap," and investigating the reality about their previous, this account, which was 280 followers, has caused lovers to question the authenticity of the show on Reddit as smartly.  

"I believe it's true to a degree, but some things are so obviously fake that it makes it hard to watch," one user wrote.

"I read some posts on Instagram calling the show fake. It’s not too convincing but right now I’m watching it thinking hmmmm," every other added. "Everyone who witnesses the things the moms/daughters do act way too shocked and say 'they’re taking it to far' or 'this is too much' like they’ve never done these things before. You’d think if they always had this wild relationship people wouldn’t be so shocked or so pissed." 

The reality in the back of the show will more than likely never really come out, however whether or not it's scripted or not, it positive is both ridiculous and entertaining at the identical time. Catch all-new episodes from Season 2 of sMothered Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
