Simon Saran: Ryan Edwards Got Drugs From Teen Mom Producers!

Even when the cameras aren’t rolling, the drama never stops with the Teen Mom cast and their oft-shady boyfriends and baby daddies. The biggest shade-thrower of the lot, of course, is Farrah Abraham’s on-again, off-again boyfriend/sugar daddy Simon Saran. Saran has started fights with Amber Portwood , Matt Baier, Debra Danielsen, and just about everyone else who’s run afoul of Farrah over the years. Now, Simon has apparently decided to kick a member of the Teen Mom family while he’s down and unable to respond, going after Ryan Edwards with a bizarre and seriously inflammatory tweet. In case you missed it, Edwards checked into rehab recently following a long and highly-publicized battle with substance abuse. His ex, Maci Bookout, broke down in tears during a recent episode, revealing that she fears Edwards’ addiction will cost him his life. Needless to say, Ryan’s going through a tough time, and most who know him well have sent nothing but positive energy and well wishes in his direction. Naturally, Simple Simon has served as the exception to that rule. Earlier this week, Saran took to Twitter to level a shocking accusation with no proof or elaboration: He claims that Teen Mom producer Kirsten “Kiki” Malone provided Edwards with the prescription pills he was addicted to during filming: “I wonder if I should talk about [Kiki] giving Ryan pills during shoots or save that for another day,” Saran tweeted. It’s a particularly low blow as Ryan is in rehab and unable to respond to the accusations himself. And like the sniveling coward that he is, Saran has offered no details or responded to requests for further comment. Look we’re not saying with 100% certainty that Malone didn’t provide Edwards with his drug of choice, but it’s important to bear two very important things in mind: 1. Few details are known about Edwards’ addiction. He could have been prescribed the pills, and Malone “providing” him with drugs could have been nothing more than her literally handing him a pill. 2. Like Farrah, Simon Saran is never to be trusted under any circumstances. Watch Teen Mom online to remind yourself of the extent of Saran’s rampant douchery.

Charles Bradley Soars Once More

Eight months ago, Charles Bradley returned to New York to play one of its most beloved venues, and he was tired. The soul singer is known for his lung-busting howls and rambunctious choreography, complete with mic-stand tricks, fancy footwork, hip checks, thrusts, the works. He hit every note that late-September night at Radio City Music… Read more »

Ryan Edwards: Teen Mom OG Star Checks into Rehab!

For the past year, at least, Ryan Edwards has been … well, he’s not been right. He hasn’t been acting like that sassy jackass we knew from the early days of Teen Mom, and honestly, he’s looked high as a kite in recent seasons of the show. And that’s because, as it turns out, he was high as a kits. In one episode last month, Maci Bookout was seen reacting strongly to a text she’d received about Ryan, explaining that “I got some information about Ryan and certain things he’s doing and stuff that aren’t very good at all.” She didn’t want to go into details, but she did say that it was “really scary stuff,” and that she had to get his parents on board to get him “healthy and happy and back to normal.” Then, in last Monday’s episode, the subject of Ryan came up again while the moms were on vacation in Puerto Rico. Amber Portwood told Maci that she could tell that he’s been “f-cked up” lately just by looking at him, and Maci didn’t argue. Catelynn Lowell asked her if he’d consider going to a treatment center, and she said that he would, but everyone else in his life has been in denial about his issue. Through tears, she told them “What I’m saying is that everyone else around him is too afraid of what it will look like more than his health … it’s all denial.” “They all know.” Later, she told her husband, Taylor McKinney, that she was just going to tell Ryan that he needed to go to rehab. “Right now is legitimately about saving his life,” she said. “Most nights I’m crying in our bed talking to you about whether or not today is the day that he’s going to die or when I’m going to do something about it or how I should do something about it.” Well, hopefully Maci can be done worrying about it all now. Because Ryan is finally in rehab! E! News reported that “multiple sources” have confirmed that he’s getting help for his issues, and that he’s been in rehab for two weeks now. He’s said to be “doing well,” but there’s no further information at this time. There’s also no word on exactly what substance he’s been struggling with. Here’s hoping that Ryan can get the help he needs during this time, and that he can return to his life healthy and happy. What a sad, sad story. View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

Matt Baier: Begging Amber Portwood to Film Sex Tape?!

As we heard just a few days ago, Amber Portwood is considering the possibility of making a sex tape with her sketchy boyfriend, Matt Baier. We know, we’re still not OK either. Amber and Matt met with Vivid Entertainment, the same company that sold Farrah Abraham’s sex tape, earlier this month to go over their options. They have decided what to do about the offer yet, but from the way they’ve been going on about it on social media and in interviews, there’s a good chance they’ll go through with it. Amber has said that she’s not “strapped for cash,” and that she has “a nice house a nice life. I have everything I need.” But, she’s quick to add, ” I’m a business person .” And in this new interview Matt did with Us Weekly, he’s pushing the “business” aspect of a sex tape, and he’s pushing it hard. Matt says that they took the meeting in the first place “because we’re business people and people want to meet with us, and if they’re legitimate people, we’ll take the meeting.” Like people are knocking down his door for meetings, right? Oh, Matt. “What I can tell you about the Vivid meeting,” he says, “is that it was incredibly professional.” “We were shocked at how business-like and professional and low pressure it was. Both of us were extraordinarily flattered to get such a generous offer from Vivid.” “We never envisioned ourselves as being adult film stars, especially me in any way shape or form,” he continues. But still, he says he and Amber are happy they took the meeting, because “It was a very good meeting that we really, really enjoyed.” But was it a good meeting? Was it handled professionally? It wasn’t seedy or anything, was it? It was good? “As business people,” Matt explains, “Amber and I need to consider every offer we get from every different angle.” “No matter what offer — we have several offers made to us — we look at it with a pros-and-cons sort of business standpoint.” Very Important Businessman Matt knows that “there are people in the world who are going to judge us that we even took the meeting.” But “I can tell you just from having that meeting, Amber and I gained a whole new respect for that industry that we didn’t have before.” And before you point out that all the Teen Mom OG cast members came down on Farrah for making a sex tape , and Amber and Matt would be ridiculously hypocritical to do the same thing, check yourself. “Despite our differences with Farrah — and I can only speak for myself — our disagreements with Farrah have nothing to do with the decision she made to do an adult film,” Matt claims. “I can tell you from getting that offer it’s not an easy decision to make either way.” “There’s a semblance of respect there that she put herself out there like that,” he adds of Farrah. “That’s the one thing I can say that we agree with Farrah on.” So it seems like he’s really, really trying to make this sex tape thing happen, doesn’t it? Not only is he going on about how wonderful and amazing and professional Vivid Entertainment is, he’s also trying to make it seem like making a sex tape is a respectable thing to do. Which is fine, of course, but let’s not forget how Amber made remarks about Farrah “selling her vagina,” and how she’s nothing like Farrah . Somebody better warn Amber and Matt about the dangers of living in a glass house. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Dads, Husbands & Boyfriends Ranked: Who’s #1?!

Amber Portwood Suffers Breakdown on Teen Mom OG: What Happened?!

Amber Portwood … well, the girl has been through some stuff. She got pregnant at 16, of course, and from there she dealt with severe addiction problems, severe relationship problems, really just so many problems . Eventually she went to prison and got clean and straightened out a bit, but soon after she returned home, she began dating disgusting douchebag, Matt Baier, and so everything has gone all to hell again. But while we know so much about all of that, one thing that Amber doesn't talk about much is her father, who tragically passed away in 2014 . In this new sneak peek from Teen Mom OG, she's changing that. In the clip, Amber is hanging with Matt, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra down in Puerto Rico. They're lounging around outside, and a producer points out that Amber and Catelynn seem more like cousins than reality show co-stars. Amber points out that that's because they have similar histories — parents who worked multiple jobs just to pay the bills, and parents who suffer from addiction. She adds that her own mother had to work so much because her father was an alcoholic, but she quickly adds that she loved her dad very much, and she doesn't want to say anything bad about him. Matt chimes in to talk about his own alcoholic father, and Amber, who's becoming visibly upset, asks if they can change the subject. Her gem of a guy ignores her, and he only stops when she starts crying. “I took care of my dad when he was f-cking dying,” Amber tells them through tears, but instead of continuing the story, she walks away, telling them “I can't f-cking do this.” As she walks off with a producer, Matt explains to Catelynn and Tyler that her father's death “hits her sometimes, like it'll hit her out of nowhere, and it breaks her heart. Meanwhile, Amber discusses her father, who died awaiting a liver transplant — his own was destroyed after years of drinking. “He told me he had eight months to live,” she says, but “he f-cking lived for ten years. He was in pain every f-cking day, and that man stayed alive and told me he was waiting for me to get married.” Unfortunately, he didn't make it. How heartbreaking is this? Amber's story also does the impossible in that it makes last week's Las Vegas wedding disaster with Matt even worse. If her father was trying to live long enough to see her get married, then you know that has to be a huge deal for her. And since Matt is obviously aware of her feelings about her father, he had to know that. So for him to try to force her to get married in Las Vegas, away from her family and while she obviously has some bittersweet feelings about the idea of a wedding … It's really just reprehensible, even more so than before. What the incredibly sad clip below:

Amber Portwood & Matt Baier: The Wedding Is Off, But We’re Still Together!

Amber Portwood and Matt Baier seem to be in a very confused state these days. It’s tough to figure out exactly what’s going on between them, because as far as we can tell, Matt and Amber don’t even know if they’re together or not. The latest of many rough patches began when Baier failed a lie detector , leading Amber to believe he’d been cheating on her. Shortly thereafter, Amber gave a number of statements that made it sound as though she was considering kicking Matt to the curb, but hadn’t quite committed yet. “I can’t say we’re together right now and I can’t say we aren’t together right now,” she explained in an interview. “It’s a weird situation.” The cheating revelation comes on the heels of a streak of unconscionably douchey behavior, even by Matt Baier standards. Baier recently declared that he would “never” marry Portwood following a conflict with her brother, and it generally seemed as though  he had little interest in saving his troubled relationship. After her wishy-washy “we’re not together, but we’re not not together” remarks Amber finally got assertive this week and revealed that she and Baier had called off their wedding . Teen Mom fans were pretty much universally thrilled, as Matt has proven himself to be the worst on countless occasions. Even before the cheating allegations, we knew that Baier was a deadbeat dad with a wandering eye who has no qualms about berating the fiancee who finances his indolent lifestyle. Unfortunately, it looks like Amber may be having some trouble sticking to her guns. According to Radar Online, Portwood and Baier are still living together , and she’s currently going back and forth on the decision of whether or not to kick him out. “Amber has not made any final decisions just yet,” a source close to the couple tells Radar. “The relationship is still chugging along for now.” Right now, it’s not looking good for fans who are hoping that Amber will put some major distance between herself and Baier. Earlier this week, Portwood issued a statement on social media in which she wrote, “As of right now, we are not broken up.” Still it seems her friends have remained optimistic, as Amber continues to offer the occasional glimmer of hope: “She is saying it’s over,” says one source. “But they could get back together. They’ve gone through lots of ups and downs.” That’s putting it mildly. Watch Teen Mom online to remind yourself of just how many “ups and downs” Matt and Amber have endured.

Teen Mom OG Recap: Who Wants Another Baby … and Who Can’t Have One?

Last night on an all-new  Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 3 , Amber Portwood made a surprising reveal that caught everyone off guard. Meanwhile, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra spent the bulk of this installment debating the future of their family. What did they decide? Watch Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 3 Online We begin with Amber, who threw a birthday party for daughter Leah with the help of Matt Baier … and Gary Shirley and Kristina Anderson. Indiana’s own Modern Family, are we right? Things are going so well between them compared to years past that Gary actually told Amber that she and Matt should have a baby. Yes, this is the same Gary who confronted her about the fact that Matt Baier has nine kids by seven women she doesn’t know about. Clearly relations have improved between Portwood and her ex, but Gary’s suggestion unexpectedly opened up a whole new can of worms. “I can’t,” Amber said, and dropped it, but later told producers she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. The long and short of it? Amber Portwood will likely remain on serious medication for the rest of her life to combat those mental conditions. Those drugs can harm fetus, but she couldn’t go off the drugs because the consequences are too severe, so new babies are off the table. That’s a tough, tough situation, but Amber and Matt – for all people say about them – were remarkably composed, positive and forward-looking. Farrah Abraham, meanwhile, is none of those things. She announced that she was going to pack and move in the same day to San Diego, California, because of her nosy neighbors in Texas. Despite the fact that her daughter has a whole life, and Farrah owns a frozen yogurt shop, furniture store and children’s boutique in Texas. “I don’t make bad choices,” Farrah insisted. No, girl. Of course you don’t. Not a one. Abraham even told her father later Michael that she is in fact moving to the Golden State, though we’re not holding our breath. Why? Because we know she loves the drama. Come on. This is a girl who gifts her mother a noose on camera. You think she wants to lead a quiet life away from prying eyes? Nah, bruh.  Meanwhile, in Michigan, Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra threw a birthday party for daughter Nova, but their mind was on their next child. Tyler’s was, at least. Catelynn Lowell’s battle with postpartum depression after giving birth to Nova in 2015 has been very well documented. Beyond the PPD issue, which is serious, she also has a long-acting, reversible contraceptive device implanted, so that’s a consideration. Finally, Maci Bookout was actually trying to get her son Bentley to be more interested in spending time with his own dad, Ryan Edwards. Yes, we’ve reached the point where Ryan is actually putting in work, and Bookout is on good enough terms with Edwards to be receptive. If only it was that easy, though. You see, dude has been MIA for so long that Bentley’s gotten used to that and now thinks this is weird. Obviously, Ryan’s parents blamed Maci for Bentley’s absence at Thanksgiving without realizing that he himself had chosen not to go. Ryan, too, complained that he thought Maci was acting like a “punk” by keeping Bentley, calling it “unfair'” to girlfriend Mackenzie Standifer. Does he have a point? Yes and no. Eh, mostly no. Whose fault, at the end of the day, do you think the little boy’s indifference toward Ryan is? Edwards ought to check the nearest mirror. “If Bentley wanted to go with him, I’d let him in a heartbeat, but I’m not going to make him do it just to make Ryan feel better!” Maci vented. She’s right. Ryan made this bed and now he has to lie in it, because while he is putting forth a lot more effort lately, it’s very long overdue. You can’t fix years of being an absent d-bag overnight. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing and building the relationship, Ry Guy.  Good things come in time. View Slideshow: Teen Mom: What Do the Dads Do for a Living?!

Farrah Abraham: Tyler Cheated on Catelynn with a Guy! Amber is a Cheap Hoe!

In case you were wondering if there’s any love lost between Teen Mom: OG firebrand Farrah Abraham and her MTV co-stars? No. There is no love lost. Speaking with In Touch Weekly in an explosive Facebook Love interview this week, Farrah was asked about several of her cast members. She didn’t hold back. Regarding persistent rumors that Tyler Baltierra cheated on Catelynn Lowell, Abraham added her two cents – and then some. If you missed it, a Teen Mom blind item that went viral online this winter suggested that Tyler had been unfaithful to his wife. According to reports, MTV decided not to pursue this because it wasn’t what the producers envisioned for the duo’s storyline. Dubious as that is, Farrah says she believes the rumors are in fact true – with a gigantic, scandalous twist no one saw coming. “Yeah, probably with a gay guy!” Farrah told In Touch shockingly . “Okay, that’s my thought. You need a minute to digest that.” Baltierra responded to the rumor initially by saying “it was dark and he was drunk” and he couldn’t recall if it was a guy or girl. He was kidding, as was Catelynn, who wrote, “Well since it’s out in the open @TylerBaltierra did cheat on me he’s busted.” All kidding aside, we doubt they’ll be laughing at the fact that Farrah basically called him gay and implied that this happened. Abraham wasn’t done there, either. Throwing gasoline on the pungent dumpster fire that is her ongoing feud with Amber Portwood, Farrah said of her wedding dress: “S–t … I must have fast forwarded right through that because I don’t even know what it looks like,” Abraham said of her rival. “I think her pink hair took away from the whole dress. It looks like a cheap hooker. I mean if you want to get married like that …” “Your choice then, have fun.” Farrah added that she will not be attending Amber’s fall wedding to Matt Baier (assuming those nuptials aren’t called off again). Abraham says that contrary to what her co-star might say, she is not invited … not that she has interest in being invited FWIW. “Why the hell would I go to somebody’s wedding that writes books about me? That’s a freak show,” she said. “I don’t speak to criminals.” View Slideshow: 37 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time “She keeps lying,” says Farrah, 25, of the forthcoming Mamber wedding. “They keep lying telling everyone saying that we are invited.” We, presumably, refers to Farrah and Simon Saran, her on-off BF? Or the rest of the OG  and Teen Mom 2 cast members collectively? Personally, we can’t see Farrah and Simon getting an invite from AP after the Teen Mom reunion fight that involved their families last year. Either way, Farrah says good riddance: “Honestly, her and her criminal convict or whatever she is into … she can have that in her life and I’m fine being totally separate by that.” Vintage Farrah Abraham Word Salad.

Amber Portwood & Catelynn Lowell: Partying Despite Addiction Issues

Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 are unique among reality shows, in that the central cast members rarely spend any time together. The show was conceived as a means of chronicling the varying experiences of different teenage expectant mothers in different regions of the US. These days it’s taken on more of a soapy docu-drama feel, but the ladies still live in far-flung regions of the country, in most cases far from any metropolitan cultural centers. A few times a year, however, the entire cast of Teen Mom: OG descends upon New York or LA to record supplemental material or attend an event sponsored by MTV. Last week, all four of the series’ leads flew to Los Angeles for a premiere party celebrating the debut of Teen Mom: OG Three-fourths of the cast (Farrah remains on the outs with the other ladies) hit the town for a sort of mobile after-party after things rapped up, and predictably, things got a wild crazy. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with a few twenty-somethings hitting the town and ingesting some substances now and then, but fans are a bit concerned due to the troubled pasts of two of the ladies who got went out raging that night.   If you watch Teen Mom online , you’re probably aware that Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell have both struggled with emotional and substance abuse issues in the not-so-distant past. Portwood went to prison , choosing incarceration over rehab after a series of brushes with the law. Lowell checked into rehab for a number of emotional issues, and decided that she suffers from a “psychological addiction” to marijuana. So it’s a bit surprising that the ladies were decided to chronicle their booze- and weed-fueled night on the town for their social media followers. The above image from Tyler Baltierra’s Snapchat is a little tough to make out, but it appears to show Amber’s fiance, Matt Baier, brandishing a bottle of booze in the back of a limo. It’s one of a few blurry photos from that night, but more telling than the images they posted on social media are the words: “Happy 420 everyone,” Lowell tweeted at one point. “Remember NO smoking and driving! Always remember park and spark!” Lowell recently admitted on Lowell that she’s frequented dispensaries in states where weed is legal (like California). Guess she’s not too worried about that “psychological addiction” these days. As for Portwoord, she’s addressed fans’ concerns about her drinking in the past by explaining that she’s sober from prescription pain pills, and has no issues with booze. We guess if it works for Amber and Catelynn, then who are we to judge? Here’s hoping both of the ladies stay safe. View Slideshow: Teen Mom: HOW MUCH Do The Stars Make?!
