Teen Mom fans slam Cheyenne Floyd for sharing 'triggering' video weeks after she endured near-fatal shooting
CHEYENNE Floyd has been slammed for sharing a "triggering" video just weeks after she suffered a near-fatal shooting.
The Teen Mom OG alum, 30, posted a clip of herself promoting a gel blaster gun on her Instagram Stories.
Cheyenne brandished the gun - which uses soft green pellets - at the camera while raving about the toy.
She then posted a clip of herself and husband Zach Davis shooting at each other in the bedroom of their $2million LA mansion.

Both MTV stars had a gun in their hand and aimed fire while ducking and hiding on either side of the bed.
While Cheyenne clearly saw no harm in the child toy, her critics were confused as to why she would promote it after she was involved in a horrific multiple shooting.

One wrote on Reddit: "If Cheyenne and Zach were shot at multiple times where someone was trying to kill them, why the hell would this be something to partner up with and play at home?
"I feel like it would be really triggering."
Another posted, "Yeah this is f**ked up," while a third simply commented: "FRAUDULENT."
Cheyenne and Zach revealed in September that they were shot at 13 times while in the car with her two kids Ryder, five, and Ace, one.

“We’re just riding and the music was playing,” Zach said during the premiere episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
“It was a normal car day, and Chey looks at me and goes, ‘What is that?’ It was a green beam on my face.”
HORROR SHOOTING
Cheyenne and Zach both turned and immediately recognized the man with the gun.
“It was somebody we both knew,” Zach claimed.
“He’s been here at Chey’s house. There are pictures with him, and all of a sudden, you start hearing shots.
"He hit the car 13 times and we crashed into the back of a Prius. It was the worst feeling in the world.”
The shooter's identity has not been revealed and the couple is currently in the midst of a court battle against the man.
“God literally covered us that day because every cop who was there said they don’t understand how we are all alive,” Cheyenne said.
“I had to pinch myself to make sure I understood that I was alive.”
The reality star then talked about the impact of the shooting on her two kids - daughter Ryder who she shares with ex Cory Wharton, and son Ace with Zach.
“I feel like he didn’t kill us, but he took so much from us,” she said.
“I don’t get why we have to go through that. I don’t get why the kids have to go through that.”
FAKE STORYLINE?
Zach later shut down rumors that he and Cheyenne faked the shooting for their storyline on MTV.
In a since-deleted rant, he denied accusations that he had anything to do with the shooting, or that it was linked to the fact that he has "a past."
He wrote: "The fact that I had to address this is beyond me. It keeps coming to my attention that there is a lot being said about the incident we were involved in. So let's get some things straight."
The reality star went on: "It happened. A lot of crimes go down in LA that do not make the news. Chey and I would never make up this dramatic of a story for ratings, it's taken us a year to even be able to talk publicly about what we have been going through."
The father-of-one posted a photo of their white BMW riddled with bullet holes and added: "This was a senseless act and living in LA it is not uncommon.
"Stop the narrative that this was our friend or justify what we went through because I have a past.

"This has zero connection. This is still an active case which is why we can't give details. At this point, offer prayers, support and leave you judgment out."
In another slide, he wrote: "This is LA everyday! If you think it's a cup of sweet tea out here it's not. It's a GTA lobby. Stay safe everybody!"
