Chris then shared a video, expanding on the drama.
In the recording, he asks that "somebody explain something to me. Like, as a woman, what posses you to say 'I will really beat you the f**k up,' knowing that, one, you can't fight, two, and you're not like that."

BABY NUMBER FIVE
Earlier this month, the TV personality disclosed during an episode of herBaby Mamas No Drama podcast that she and Elijah had moved in together.
With Kailyn and Elijah now living together, the Delaware native admitted thatshe could welcome her fifth childas soon as next year.
Kailynaddressed the chatter on Friday's installment of herBarely Famous podcast, where she answered fans' questions.
The podcaster got right to it with the baby talk, as one listener asked if she wants more children in the future.
She explained her plans: "I don't know, but I want to get my tubes tied. I guess whatever happens first… I would like to get my tubes tied this year, actually."
She continued: "I think the more time thatgoes on, the more I just don't want more children because I feel like I'm spreading myself so thin, and all my kids are such different ages that they all need me for different parts of their lives right now. I just don't know.
"I'll update you in the next couple weeks, I have an appointment coming up with my GYN, and I'll see if he will tie my tubes; I don't know."
However, later in the episode, she contradicted her answer, revealing that a fifth child is not off the table.
'NOT A GOOD TIME'
After a listener asked if the boy mom would ever try for a girl, she shared different thoughts about adding to her brood.
"No, I would never try for a girl. Not because I don't want one, but this depression has truly humbled me and has really taught me that I need to put myself first sometimes, and I can't stay busy 100% of the time because I think once my life slowed down, and I left the show [Teen Mom 2] and things like that, my life slowed down so much so I was forced to kind of deal with the things that I hadn't been dealing with, so I just don't think that now is a good time in my life to have more children."
She went on: "I really just want to be there for the ones that I have. And I'm not saying that that could change - also, I talked about getting my tubes tied this year."
Kailyn then admitted that she's not entirely sold on the idea of not having more children.
"I talk about it, but maybe once I get through this depression, it will be a little different, so don't hold me to that if I end up pregnant next year… maybe next year that could change," she said.
GOING ON FOUR...?
The mom-of-four voiced her feelings about having three baby daddies during a recent installment of herCoffee Convospodcast.
Kailynopened up to her co-host, Lindsie Chrisley, about her fears about meeting her boyfriend Elijah's family last weekend.
After admitting that she hadn't been introduced to a significant other's family since dating her ex Chris, she revealed her main concerns were having to describe her co-parenting situations.
"Just having to explain my situation of why I have three baby dads is like, the thought of it is a little bit humiliating," the young mom confessed.
Kailyn also said that how she has been portrayed onthe MTV reality seriesisn't the version she wanted her boyfriend's parents to know.

"I think some of my cringiest and most ignorant embarrassing moments are more so highlighted [on the show] than my accomplishments and my milestones, like positive milestones, you know, and so I think a lot of my positive traits and qualities and things that I've done have been minimized, so they're not memorable.
"I don't want his parents to watch the show and be like, what the f**k. I want them to know who I am by knowing me personally," she added.
