Leah Messer Faces New Criticism: Is She Back on Drugs?!

At this point, it’s probably safe to say that for the rest of her whole entire life, Leah Messer will be criticized for her parenting choices. Seriously, girl could donate a kidney to one of her children and people would still find an issue. “There’s probably drugs in there ,” some would say, or “she’s just doing it to make herself look good for MTV.” It’s sad. And what’s even sadder is that right now, Leah is facing a boatload of criticism — several boatloads, actually — for what Teen Mom 2 fans believe are wrongdoings. There’s a lot to get into here, so let’s break down Leah’s latest sins, one by one. The first one is that Leah is in L.A. right now, doing some filming for some Teen Mom 2 specials. She left her three little girls at home, and apparently that was wrong of her. “Leaving your kids behind super mom,” one of her followers commented sarcastically. How ridiculous is that? Because Leah is a mother, she’s never, ever allowed to leave her children? Is that how this works? Fortunately, several of Leah’s followers stood up for her on this point, but unfortunately, this next point is even worse. You know how Leah has been looking a bit thinner than usual lately? According to these strangers on the internet, her weight loss could actually be because of drugs. She went to rehab in 2015 for what she said were mental health issues, but for what everyone else claimed were drug issues. And some people think those issues might be making a comeback. “I sincerely hope you’re off the pills,” one person told her. “Your children need you, and the last few months you’ve looked dangerously thin.” “Take care of yourself, so you can be a role model for your girls.” One person wrote that Leah “looks buzzed” in recent photos, while another stated that “Leah comes from dysfunction she can only do what she was taught.” “I have noticed some signs of possible medication use. It could be prescribed,” another person pointed out. “Please take a look at yourself,” yet another commenter said. “Be realistic. In the beginning of the season you looked like you were on something, you still look like you’re on something.” “The reality is you look like you’re on drugs or something worse!!!” It’s all very dramatic, right? Not to mention dumb. Leah has always been thin. She was thin before she got pregnant at 16, she was thin again about two seconds after giving birth to twins. If she’s thinner now, perhaps it’s from the stress of being a single mother to three young children, one with a debilitating disease . But — and this is the third issue — some people are also saying that Leah’s sister, Victoria, is struggling with an addiction of her own these days. So basically everything is a mess. As one of her faithful commenters wrote, “Looks like your sister is on drugs now! She seems so out of it when filming.” “Her sister is the one on pills now,” another claimed. “She looks and acts just like Leah did last season. And she’s a new mom . I sincerely hope Leah gets her some help.” Apparently if Victoria really is on drugs, it’s Leah’s fault — another of her followers told her “Not to be rude but you need to get your sister Victoria some help.” “Any idiot can see she’s high in every episode so far and she looks terrible. You battled an issue and seem to be doing great. She just had a baby and it doesn’t deserve to have a brand new mom high on pills! Help her!” View Slideshow: Leah Messer Bad Parenting Excuse Hall of Fame So to recap, Leah is a bad person for leaving her kids for a few days while she goes on a business trip, for being back on drugs, and for not helping her sister with her own drug addiction. She sure does lead a busy life, huh?

Farrah Abraham Posted a Racist Christmas Photo Because Of Course She Did

Farrah Abraham is widely despised on social media, but it’s hard to feel bad for her, because she basically begs for it. Like a disobedient toddler, Farrah just wants attention, and she doesn’t care if it’s positive or negative. That said, for the first time ever, Farrah’s followers might be going too hard on her. Either that, or she’s an abhorrent racist. It says a lot about Farrah that both scenarios are pretty much equally likely. Anyway, the latest controversy surrounding everyone’s least-favorite sex tape star involves the paranoia-inducing Christmas tradition, Elf on the Shelf. If you’re not familiar with Elf, then your Facebook friends are less annoying than ours, and we envy you. Basically, it’s a holiday “game” straight out of an Edward Snowden fever dream, in which parents hide an elf doll and tell their kids it’s a spy from Santa. Anyway, as she does with most things, Farrah found a way to make Elf on the Shelf horrendous.  Well, maybe. Fans are accusing her of doing something truly dumb and awful, and we would say they’re jumping to conclusions, but Farrah is involved, which means the most jackass-y explanation is probably the most accurate. Check out the evidence and decide for yourself: Yes that’s two shelf elves with Snapchat filters, one of whom has his face completely covered. Fans who spent a lot of time analyzing this pic claim that the portion of the left elf that we can see indicates that he’s black. Obviously, if that’s true, it means Farrah completely blocked out the black elf’s face, a move that may not have had racist motivations behind it, but that totally comes off as random act of bigotry. Not surprisingly, there are some heated debates going on in the pic’s comments section, and many of the arguments revolve around the message that Farrah is sending to her daughter. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Parenting Fails: A Brief History of WTF?! Of course, we’re talking about the mom who eagerly talked about her daughter’s future sex tape (the girl is 7 years old, by the way), so this is far from the first questionable message she’s gotten from her mother. Really, the only worthwhile debate about Farrah’s parenting is “Should we call CPS, or send them an email?”

50 Cent Accused of Child Abuse After Posting Bizarre Video

50 Cent hasn't exactly been killin' it in the life choices department lately, and his parenting in particular has drawn a tremendous amount of criticism in recent months. Back in October, 50 threatened to kill his son Marquise on Instagram. Now, he's drawing fire for a video in which he appears to punch his youngest “son,” Davian, in the head. We had to put that in quotes because Davian isn't really Fiddy's son, but rather a young fan whom the rapper says he “treats like a son.” We guess that would be a good thing, were it not for the fact that in Curtis Jackson's world, treating someone like a son means pummeling them in the head. The rapper posted the clip below on Instagram with a caption reading: “Getting my young bull ready.” Ready for what? The concussion protocol? Fif doesn't appear to be hauling off and hitting Davian full-force, but it bears repeating that he makes contact with the kid's head multiple times, at one point hitting him so hard that he bumps into the wall behind him. Mr. Cent has long been a boxing aficionado, often commenting on the sport on social media, and even feuding with Floyd Mayweather and other fighters. (Floyd and 50 have buried the hatchet, but the rapper has since taken to throwing shade at Bernard Hopkins.) So we understand that he takes a genuine interest in the sport, and this isn't just an excuse to knock an 11-year-old around. Still, it might be time for 50 to hire a coach for the kid. We're sure he can afford it.

Jenelle Evans: Parenting Criticized For INSANE Reason!

Teen Mom 2 fans are often critical of Jenelle Evans, and with good reason. Jenelle is a strong contender for worst mom in the history of reality television. (Of course, a case could be made for her fellow Teen Mom alum Farrah Abraham, but that’s a conversation for another time.) Jenelle has been arrested more times than you can count on two hands. She has an outrageous temper that’s spurred her to violence on numerous occasions. She lost custody of her first son as a result of her rampant substance abuse and frequent run-ins with the law.  To make matters worse, she frequently antagonizes her own mother, who raises the boy, thus ensuring that he’ll grow up thoroughly traumatized as a result of being surrounded by constant hostility. But because she makes for such an easy target, fans sometimes unload on Jenelle even when she really hasn’t done anything that bad. For example, you may remember the thankfully short-lived Jenelle flotation device controversy from last April, during which the reality star was slammed for putting what many fans believed to be an improper life vest on her youngest son, Kaiser, while he was riding in a boat. (It turned out that the device was, in fact, Coast Guard-approved.) Anyway, a similar scenario is playing itself out on Jenelle’s Instagram today, thanks to this seemingly innocuous photo that Evans posted online: As you can see, it’s Kaiser again, and this time he’s simply sitting at a table, eating some corn on the cob. Surely, there’s nothing about that that people can find fault with, right? Ha! This must be your first day on the Internet. The concern trolls came out in force to argue that Jenelle should have her kids taken away for failing to feed them from a plate. Yes, the fact that Kaiser appears to be eating from a tray and not fine china is enough to get these people all riled up.  Thankfully, Jenelle has yet to dignify the criticism with a response, but her fans (Yes, there are people who are actually fans of Jenelle Evans.) have been taking care of the clap-back for her. Of course, the best approach to these situations is always to refuse to feed the trolls. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, especially for someone like Jenelle. View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! That fiery temper we mentioned earlier? It doesn’t always manifest itself in assaulting her exes’ girlfriends . Jenelle is a reality star who loves social media drama, which means she’ll probably be elected president some time around 2044. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to prepare for her administration.

Jeremy Calvert Posts Photo of Daughter with MASSIVE Gun, Hears it From Critics

Teen Mom 2 fans are up in arms out after Jeremy Calvert posted a picture of his three-year-old daughter, Adalynn, with a rather large gun. Well, some fans are up in arms. Others are less irate. Or all for it! Jeremy’s weapon was not loaded at the time, it’s worth noting. The reality star used his Instagram caption to reassure naysayers of this fact and that his daughter with Leah Messer was not in danger. “She said, ‘Daddy, let’s go hunting and shoot a coyote…'” Jeremy wrote, clearly proud of his offspring (who looks just like him BTW). “Lol better watch out boys, she won’t miss.” A lot of people weren’t LOLing, but if you watch Teen Mom 2 online , or follow Jer on Insta, you know he’s not one to give many f–ks. In fact, he seemed to know the hate was imminent. “P.S. yes people it’s a gun and it’s also unloaded get over it…”  This is the Internet, of course. “eople never get over it. “This is deeply troubling,” one fan responded indignantly , right on cue and excoriating this move as the worst kind of parenting imaginable. “I can’t say I’ve ever commented on a celebrity’s post before but this really saddened me. When did childhood stop meaning innocence?” “Around guns there can be no innocence.” “I think it’s simply time to unfollow,” another comment reads, adding that it may seem innocent what he’s doing, but think of the little girl. “For a small child, this has such vast implications,” writes the fan, clearly of the mind that such upbringing may not be the best idea. “She can’t simply press the unfollow button.” Deep stuff right there, ladies and gentlemen. Another took the rebuke to the next level. “What the f–k Jeremy? I don’t give a s–t that it’s unloaded … treat it like it is loaded!” the fan wrote, urging him to rethink such behavior. “This is giving her the wrong impression of what a firearm is. It’s not a toy! Why don’t you try being a responsible parent for once.” “Giving gun owners a bad rep.” In fairness, other Instagram followers praised Jeremy for allowing little Addy to get “comfortable” with a gun, which is just a part of life. Gotta start ’em young … or not? Another defender of Calvert, who is now engaged to Brooke Wehr , said, “the thing is she won’t just go grab it because she thinks it’s okay.” “That is part of teaching our kids gun safety!” “My daughters know not to touch guns at all unless there is an adult to supervise. Whenever they see one they know to go tell an adult asap.” Maybe, this member of the pro-Calvert gun photo camp posits, it’s “because we teach our kids safety and not that they are evil machines.” The argument, questionable but not irrational, is that perhaps more exposure to guns would lead to fewer tragedies, this fan concluded. Others were more ambivalent about the whole thing. “We live in WV for God sake!! There is nothing wrong with this picture!! If he wants to take a picture with his daughter and his gun then let him” “I’m sure he wasn’t posting to get nasty reactions.” “It’s a cute picture! How is anyone to judge others!!?” Apparently this fan is new to the whole social media thing – especially when it comes to parenting – but the sentiment is nice, at least.  View Slideshow: Leah Messer Bad Parenting Excuse Hall of Fame One can only imagine how Leah Messer feels. Part of her may be alarmed at the sight, but then again, she is from West Virginia, and she’s been embroiled in her fair share of controversies. Some of them, admittedly, over absurd things. What do you think? Is Jeremy Calvert crossing a line with this photo of Addy and his gun? Or are people getting outraged over nothing? Hit the comments and let us know!

Megan Fox Baby Photo: First Precious Look!

Megan Fox has taken fans on their first journey. Literally. Sort of. The gorgeous actress shared a photo of herself and her third child on Wednesday, offering Instagram followers a glimpse at adorable little Journey River Green. Fox and long-time partner Brian Austin Green welcomed their third child into the world back in August. Yes, it’s taken Fox three months to share a single photo of her latest offspring because she is one of the more private celebrities in Hollywood. It’s true. You might not think so because men love to talk about Megan Fox and because a number of revealing photos are scattered around the Internet of her. But Fox scarcely ever shares anything over social media and barely said a word about her pregnancy. So we’re grateful that she did at least recognize the desire of fans to see at minimum one photo of Journey. And here it is! Fox did not include a caption with the image. Let’s not ask too much of her, okay? The actress and the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star are also parents to sons Noah Shannon, 4, and Bodhi Ransom, 2; as well as 14-year-old Kassius, Green’s son from a previous relationship. Fox didn’t even make a pregnancy announcement this spring; she merely stepped out at CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April to promote Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows… rocking a clear baby bump . There had been rumors that Fox and Green were expecting again, but these rumors seemed hard to believe because Fox and Green had also broken up last summer. So we thought, at least. And so it really may have been. But the two remained close as a result of having children together and sharing parenting duties. And we’ve all been there, right? You’re tight with an ex. You spend a lot of time with an ex. You’re already attracted to this ex. Maybe some alcohol is flowing and the next thing you know… bam! Pow! Insertion! You’re back in bed with the ex. It’s almost comforting to know that celebrities aren’t all that different, isn’t it? Just like everyone else, they sometimes fall back into familiar sexual routines with past lovers. View Slideshow: 13 Celebrity Pregnancies NO ONE Saw Coming The parents of three, who have been married since 2010 and together for a total of over 10 years, are reportedly back together now. Neither side of the relationship has confirmed this chatter in public because, again, they are very private. But multiple outlets have confirmed the reconciliation. Which is great news for their kids. “Brian and Megan are living together in Malibu with their boys,” a source told People Magazine in July. “They have been getting along and seem very happy.” Good for them! And what a cute baby they now have! View Slideshow: Celebrity Baby Photos: So Adorable!

Mother Goes on Tear-Filled Rant Against "Norf Norf"

We don’t want to cause any mass panic, but… STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO. Christian Mom Goes on Tear-Filled Rant Against Against “Norf Norf,” Offensive Music Trust us. You will not regret doing so. The video features a self-described Christian mother of four who first explains her morning routine and how she drives her kids to school and how she typically listens to Christian radio. For whatever reason, though, she had a different station on one recent morning and the station played Vince Staples “Norf Norf.” As a mom, the woman says the track “infuriated” her, even with the “cuss words bleeped out.” The mother is particularly taken aback because her 11-year old daughter listens to the radio station in question and “I couldn’t even believe the words that I was listening to.” To emphasize her point, the woman proceeds to recite lyrics to the entire song, breaking down at certain lines she seemed to find misogynistic and violent, including lyrics about abortions, guns and gang-banging. And this is where the video gets taken to a whole new level of viral awesomeness. “I’ve gotta collect myself because this is what our youth is being subjected to,” she says prior to reading the song’s lyrics, word-by-word. In truth, the woman isn’t making a terrible point. She’s concerned about what her kids are listening to and the messages they’re receiving and that’s perfectly reasonable and valid. But she cries hysterically while reading the words to “Norf Norf” out loud for minutes at a time. It’s not hard to understand why the video has been shared so many times on social media. As you can imagine, Twitter had a field day with the footage… It’s worth noting that one of the woman’s kids is in the background while the woman is reciting lyrics about running from the police, having lots of sex and doing drugs. (The “hoes need abortions” line is where she really loses it.) Toward the end of the video, the emotional mother does clarify that she isn’t condemning the DJs playing the music (“I understand they have a job to do,” she says)… or even the people who listen to it. “But as a mom … man,” she says. “I’m raising four little girls, and that just breaks my heart that that is the kind of music that’s being played. The mother then pleads with other parents to “be aware that what your kids are listening to can have an impact on their lives.” That’s actually a fair thing to say and advise. All parents should absolutely be aware of the music their kids are listening to. But all parents should probably not record a video of themselves reciting the R-Rated lyrics to those songs on the Internet. It just invites ridicule.
