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

Posted on November 1, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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!

Britney Spears and Tom Hiddleston: Coupling Up?!

Posted on October 22, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Britney Spears is reportedly crushing hard on Taylor Swift’s ex, Tom Hiddleston.  Sources tell Heat World  that the two are definitely interested in each other, but are they interested enough to join their names together?  So many options: Hiddlespears, Spearsleston, Hitneystoney … but our vote is for the simple moniker of “Brom.”  Catchy, right?  Britney’s manager reportedly reached out to Tom’s peeps to set up a one-on-one, and sources say that he’s interested.  “He’s definitely open to it,” they revealed.  “She was his childhood crush, so never say never.”  “Britney thinks she’s got a chance, and after being with Taylor, maybe Tom wants someone a little older.”  Tom is 35, Britney is 34; Taylor Swift is only 26, but Britney Spears lives under a conservatorship. Just saying. In any case, man alive is she hoping this works out! “Britney is more than ready to date again,” the source continued, adding that the pop princess very much has a type. “She has a huge weakness for British guys.”  “To her, they are the ultimate gentlemen,” revealed the insider.  “She loves the accent and their good manners.”  It sounds like she’s almost treading in desperation territory.  The source continued: “All Britney wants is to have a chance to go on a date with Tom, and she’s very hopeful that once they get some alone time together, she’ll be able to totally charm him.” Previously, Tom was linked to Taylor Swift – as if somehow, you were buried in a hole in rural Guam for the last few months – but things apparently didn’t end well.  Though rumors swirled that Taylor just “got sick” of Hiddleston, you know that’s her fall-back story in any breakup.  Whatever happened, is Britney psyched it’s over? You know it. Despite talk of the two being in a fake relationship, it looks like the romance was very much real, albeit short-lived. Sources revealed that Tom “grew tired” of Taylor , and “not the other way around.”  “Tom drifted from her and it had nothing to do with her being put off by the publicity.”  “It’s more to do with the fact that he’s a commitment-phobe who gets bored easily,” the insider continued.  It was reported that Taylor got way too clingy in the early stages of the game – surprise, surprise! – and that put off Hiddleston majorly.  View Slideshow: Taylor Swift & Tom Hiddleston Break Up: The World Reacts Apparently, Hiddleston realized that “he may have made a mistake after [Taylor] insisted upon them meeting each other’s parents the space of 24 hours.”  That’s definitely a red flag. And the most Taylor Swift thing of all time. Truth be told, Tom can probably get any woman in Hollywood – or anywhere else for that matter. While Britney is Hollywood royalty … you know, sort of … we don’t think that Britney would be his first choice, honestly.  Nothing against Brit, but maybe she should stay in her own lane in this case. Just a suggestion. View Slideshow: 21 Boyfriends of Britney Spears

Farrah Abraham Plastic Surgery … This is Out of CONTROL!

Posted on October 22, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Farrah Abraham’s and her never-ending plastic surgery endeavors are getting out of control.  And if you don’t think so, then you need to look at her latest lips – which are definitely plumper in comparison to what they used to be. We’re not sure what’s worse – the extemely severe-looking eyebrows, the terribly fake-looking false eyelashes, or the unseeing, vacuous eyes.  Oh, what’s that?  She can’t help that last part? Our bad.  It definitely looks like Farrah went overboard with lip injections in this shocking, in-your-face photo, and there’s no coming back from this.  She previously looked worse, but this new look isn’t much better.  In prior years, she channeled Futurama’s Leela, and after that experience, you’d think she would have learned her lesson.  The Teen Mom star’s face has changed so much over the years, it’s hard to realize that we’re even looking at the same person anymore.  Since she hit the scene, exploiting her teenage gestation, she’s had her boobs done multiple times, a butt lift, and multiple procedures done on her lips.  Rumors about her butt have flown around for years, and you, yourself, probably know what that thing looks like as if it were your own.  Farrah’s face wasn’t a bad face to begin with.   Yeah, it was a childish face, but that was because she was a teen when we first met her. Makes sense.  Howver, can you wrap your head around how Farrah might look today had she not done half of what she did with her face and body over the years? We might actually be looking at a pretty woman, instead of a plastic-filled sack of vicious drama and poor parenting.  Whatever Farrah’s doing – or not doing … or considering doing – she needs to stop.  Things are getting far out of hand, and there will, undoubtedly, be a time where there’s just no return.  And like Snooki and her constant evolution, we’re just about there, y’all.  Just about damn there.   Get a grip, Farrah. And while you’re at it, take some parenting classes, too, girl.  Heaven knows we don’t need another generation of Teen Moms on our hands all over again.  View Slideshow: 29 Most Cringe-Worthy Farrah Abraham Pics of All Time

Farrah Abraham Reveals How She’ll Teach Her Daughter About Sex!

Posted on October 2, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

BREAKING NEWS: Farrah Abraham is a ridiculous, awful human being . Don’t act too surprised, now. Sometimes Farrah’s idiocy is infuriating, sometimes it’s amusing, and sometimes it’s just plain sad . And sometimes, on very special occasions, it’s all three at once. This is one of those times. In a new interview, Farrah opened up about how she plans on teaching her seven-year-old daughter about sex. Heaven help us all. “I mean, that’s something that’s so normal to me,” she said about discussing sex with her kid. “I public speak with teenagers and get to do fun things and awareness campaign. I think that’s really gotten me ready as a public speaker and gotten me ready to talk to my daughter more so than anything.” And while it may be true that Farrah does public speak with teenagers and awareness campaign with them, too — seriously, where did she learn to communicate and where can she go to actually learn? — she’s not really making a whole lot of sense yet. “I can always play those 16 and Pregnant episodes and all these things back, that’s just like, the help and I wouldn’t take that for granted. I would use it as a big tool.” And there it is. If Farrah really does plan on showing Sophia old 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom episodes, maybe she should consider avoiding showing her own segments. Unless she plans on showing them as purely a cautionary tale, in which case, put them on repeat forever. Farrah was just so unbearable as a pregnant teenager … and as a new mom, and now, and pretty much all the time in between . The only thing Sophia could really learn from the shows are how insufferable her mother is. But don’t worry about little Sophia just yet, or at least don’t worry about this particular idea of Farrah’s. After sharing her little educational idea, Farrah added “I have to just see whatever her situation is, but I handle things and I communicate. I’m educated and I can talk through my frustrations or my emotions … I wouldn’t want to create more of a stress, but I would always want to set her up for success.” Hold your laughter in for a minute and realize that she said she’d wait to show Sophia 16 and Pregnant until she was sure it would actually help her … … And now feel free to laugh for the rest of your life at Farrah freaking Abraham saying “I communicate, I’m educated.” If either of those things were true, we wouldn’t have to beat our heads against the wall in frustration every time we have to decipher whatever nonsense falls out of her mouth . And yet, here we are. Here’s an idea, Farrah: just stop talking. About everything. Forever. That’s the dream. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Parenting Fails: A Brief History of WTF?!

Amber Portwood: In Recovery from Plastic Sugery!

Posted on October 2, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Remember how, just a couple of weeks ago, Amber Portwood revealed that she was considering getting some plastic surgery ? She tweeted “After losing weight I think it’s time to get my body back to where it should be. Mommy makeover is on my mind. We’ll see.” She makes “mommy makeover” sound like a patented plastic surgery procedure, and it turns out it actually kind of is. If you’re not familiar, one of those mommy makeovers usually entails a surgeon doing something with the breasts, a lift or an augmentation, and a tummy tuck, and sometimes liposuction is done as well. It’s meant to correct all those fun changes that happen to a woman’s body during and after pregnancy — changes that some women aren’t comfortable with. And, as it turns out, Amber isn’t comfortable. Or at least she wasn’t … She might be feeling differently about her body soon enough though, because just earlier today she tweeted that she’s in recovery after getting the plastic surgery. “Had my mommy makeover and I’m now in recovery,” she said. “If you want your post mommy body back or you’ve lost a lot of weight then I would recommend it. And thanks for all the love and support. I truly appreciate it. Sending all my love.” So … wow. It all seems kind of sudden, but when you consider things, perhaps it’s not. After all, many women who undergo these mommy makeovers work at losing the baby weight first, which obviously is not always an easy task. It’s clear that Amber’s worked hard at her weight loss , and it’s undeniable that she looks amazing these days . And hey, if the big changes her body has gone through leaves her with some features that she doesn’t feel comfortable with, then more power to her for doing something to change that. This mommy makeover sounds like a far cry from Farrah Abraham’s ass shenanigans , you have to admit. As Amber tweeted today, “Everyone should feel good about their bodies. Losing a lot of weight isn’t easy. And your body sometimes changes. Thanks for the support.” And if you read about Amber receiving “support” and immediately thought about her awful douchebag jackass boyfriend, Matt Baier, and what kind of support he might be giving her, you’re not alone. If Matt can abandon his own children , it’s not out of the realm of possibility for him to leave his fiancee after extensive surgery. But according to Amber, he’s actually stepping up. “Wishing you a speedy recovery!” one fan said to her. “I bet Matt will take good care of you!” And — again, according to Amber, to take it with a grain of salt, as much as she likes to defend him — “he’s doing a great job!” So hey, let’s go ahead and send all the best wishes to Amber and her recovery, OK? She really, really deserves it.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick: Going to Couples’ Therapy?

Posted on October 2, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Things are looking pretty good for the relationship between Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick. So … yay? It’s been over a year now since Kourtney broke up with Scott after seeing him in some mighty compromising positions with another woman (and, you know, after putting up with his bad behavior for years). In that time, they’ve gone from not communicating to building a friendship to now, apparently, rekindling their romance. It was during a trip to Miami last month when the two were said to have gotten back together . At the time, a source claimed that “Kourtney said that her and Scott really connected on this trip,” and that Scott “finally got his sh-t together,” which allowed Kourtney to let him back into her heart. It allowed her to let him back into some other things too, apparently, because the source added that “They did have a lot of sex on the trip and have been having sex for months.” (Sorry.) They’re having so much sex, if you can believe it, that there’s even talk of Kourtney getting pregnant again soon — if she’s not pregnant already. It’s a believable rumor, because Kourtney’s always said that she wants a big family. And, according to this new report, Kourtney and Scott could be preparing for a bigger family by working on their relationship in therapy. “Kourtney and Scott have finally gotten to a place where they can both be completely honest about everything,” a source tells Radar. “And it is totally obvious to them now that they are meant to be together, so they just have to do whatever it takes to make it work.” Is it just us, or is that adorable? “Scott has straightened himself out a lot,” the source continues. “He still goes to regular sessions with his own therapist and has made a lot of progress.” And meanwhile on Kourtney’s end, she “knows that by doing therapy sessions together and with the kids, she will get to have what she has wanted all along.” And that exactly is that, you might be wondering? “A family life with him in it.” Awww . Here’s hoping that Scott really has been working on his issues, and that they’re both prepared to give each other what they need in their relationship. And while we’ve got our hopes so high, let’s also hope that they have all those additional kids that Kourtney’s been dreaming about. You have it admit, they make some damn cute ones.

Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer: MARRIED!

Posted on October 2, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

There went the bride! Following rumors that Chelsea Houska would exchange vows this weekend with longtime boyfriend Cole DeBoer, the Teen Mom 2 star has gone ahead and done just that: SHE’S MARRIED! The couple, who is expecting its very first child together, tied the knot in front of friends and family on Saturday afternoon. Among those in attendance was Houska’s seven-year daughter, Aubrey, whose father is the bride’s ex-boyfriend Adam Lind. Houska kept the announcement of her marriage relatively quiet and simple, sharing a picture on Instagram today that depicted the newlyweds with Aubree. “Mr and Mrs DeBoer,” she captioned the romantic photo. Here it is: Two days prior to the wedding, the 25-year old MTV personality posted a pic on Instagram of two large bunches of her favorite flowers, sunflowers and proteas. She wrote at the time: “I don’t know what I did to deserve this man, but I am thankful every single day. @coledeboer beyond proud to be able to call you my husband soon!” It was this post and this message that prompted wedding chatter around the Internet. Houska met DeBoer at a gas station and the two started dating back in August 2014. Yup, they’ve been together for over two years, which is a lifetime for most couples featured on Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2 or Teen Mom OG. The two got engaged in November 2015, with the reality star confirming the joyous news in an Instagram post. “He’s stuck now!” she captioned an image that showed her flashing her engagement ring alongside her new fiancé. View Slideshow: Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer: Cutest (Most Stable) Teen Mom Couple Ever! “Cole brought me to a personal spot in the woods where he had photos lining the tree,” she told MTV of his sweet proposal, adding in detail: “The pictures hanging were of him and I and the three of us as a family.” Sounds pretty much perfect to us. Houska added that DeBoer asked Aubreyl “if it was OK if he married her mommy” and she immediately said yes, was extremely excited, and gave him a big hug.” Chelsea went on to announce in July that the couple was expecting its first child; he or she due in February 2017. “We are beyond excited for this journey and can’t wait to share it with you all!” she wrote as a caption to a Instagram photo of the growing family. “Big sister Aubree is also extremely excited, and it’s no secret that she is hoping for a girl haha.” View Slideshow: Teen Mom Cast: Before They Were Stars … Those who watch Teen Mom 2 online  witnessed the couple’s engagement and wedding planning, as it was closely documented on the most recent season of the hit reality show. We send Chelsea and Cole our very best wishes! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness!

Adam Lind: Arrest Warrants Issued For Back Child Support!

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Teen Mom 2 star Adam Lind is officially a deadbeat dad. Chelsea Houska and Taylor Halbur are due major compensation from this flake, an ongoing struggle that ironically helped them become close. Because Adam Lind has failed to pay enough child support to either woman, the derelict of society now has two warrants out for his arrest. According to the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office in South Dakota, Lind currently owes $3,805 in child support for the first warrant. A family insider confirmed that the amount is for his child support agreement with Teen Mom 2 staple Houska for their daughter Aubree, 7. If that doesn’t sound like a lot, well, maybe it’s not to you, or it shouldn’t be, but these things are relative, and we’re talking about Adam Lind.  Not exactly a model citizen in any respect. As for the second warrant, Lind owes former girlfriend Taylor Halbur even more – $5,489 in back child support for their daughter Paislee, 3. How can he be that short at this point? “He isn’t paying because he’s an idiot and thinks the amount isn’t fair ,” a source close to the situation tells Radar , without mincing words. Sadly for Lind, it doesn’t work that way. Adam is required, by binding court order, to pay $945 per month to Houska as of March 3, 2016, and also to pay for her health insurance. Lind is also on the hook for “medical, dental, orthodontic, optometric, counseling or other health care costs that are not covered by insurance.” For additional costs not covered by insurance, Houska is expected to pay 55 percent, while Lind must handle the remaining 45 percent. Halbur, for her part, is expected to receive $1,203 a month from the world class loser as of June 20, 2016, and apparently has not been. The court documents in her case read: “Included in this amount is the amount of reimbursement or credit for medical insurance, any allocation of child care costs as set forth in the report.” Halbur is responsible for the first $250 per year of medical expenses that is not covered by insurance; after that, the remaining 25 percent.  Lind is ordered to pay the remaining 75 percent after that point, which clearly is a task he may not be up to – and pay a heavier price for. The personal trainer, seen above with Paislee and current fiancee Stasia Huber , has blasted both of his ex-girlfriends on social media. After they requested that the court raise the amount he pays per month, Lind wasn’t having it … and in turn, he let them both have it. “She feels $945 a month is necessary,” he ranted. “Guess her lil pig, 6 dogs, new jeep and house just isn’t enough and needs extra $$.” That would be Chelsea Houska, who is now engaged to Cole De Boer, by all accounts a stand-up guy, and getting married soon. Lind added of Taylor Halbur: View Slideshow: Adam Lind: 9 Times He Proved He’s The World’s Worst Baby Daddy “Taylor alsooooo filed for more support. And she already gets $551 for Paislee. Whom I have some custody of.” “Weird how they both file for more $$ right when season 7 is coming to an end to kick of their season 8.” Of course, Lind threatened to quit Teen Mom 2 , claiming he’s fed up with MTV, then quietly angled for a raise to come back on. He’s smooth, this one. Adam has not been arrested for the charges, though if he keeps running his mouth and withholding money he clearly has, that could change.  Fast.

Leah Messer: Pissing Off Other Parents at Kids’ School?

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Getting kids ready and off to school on time is never easy, but this time of year, after having the tykes at home all summer, many parents look forward to morning drop-offs. Not Leah Messer. For Leah the morning drop-off is the ultimate test of parenting competency. Last year, she botched one so badly that she briefly held the title of Most Hated Teen Mom 2 Cast Member. (Fortunately for Leah and the other girls, Jenelle Evans is always quick to regain that title.) You may remember the scene and the social media firestorm that followed it. Leah rushed her girls off to school without feeding them breakfast first, and the young ladies were decidedly (and understandably) not happy about it. To make matters worse, it wasn’t the only time that Leah had trouble getting the kids off to school on time: Leah Messer to Kids: I’ll Get You to School Whenever I Want! In fact, things got so bad, that Leah actually lost custody of her twins to their father, Corey Simms, in large part because of her inability to get them up and ready for class in a timely fashion. It wasn’t until she was able to demonstrate that she is able to get the kids fed, clothed and off to school that Leah was granted custody again . We think it’s safe to say she’s not a morning person. Anyway, it seems that Leah is once again having weekday morning issues. Except this it’s not her kids who are cranky – it’s the other parents. Leah posted the following to Instagram earlier today: As you can see, she’s eager to apologize/clarify herself to a fellow parent who was clearly upset about the presence of a camera crew at their child’s bus stop. “There were NO cameras filming at my girls’ bus stop this morning,” Leah writes. “MTV follows my life and happened to be doing so this morning at my home. “HOWEVER, I personally have more than enough RESPECT for the other children & parents that I knew would be there to make it VERY clear to MTV that no cameras were to be filming at the bus stop.” She concludes: “I hope the person who seemed to be frustrated that the crew was following behind me in a car does see this and knows that my priority is my children, and our school, and my job on TV will never interfere with that. “If you have ANY questions or concerns feel free to contact me directly.” It’s unclear exactly why the offended party believed their child was being filmed, but we can’t help but think that Leah could’ve handled this in a more discrete fashion. Granted, she didn’t mention the person by name, but a kindly worded email or phone call probably would’ve been more effective than Leah addressing a situation regarding privacy in front of her 1 million IG followers. Just a thought. View Slideshow: Leah Messer Bad Parenting Excuse Hall of Fame But hey, at least she’s putting her kids on the bus now! No more long, hungry commutes for Aliannah and Aleeah!

Amber Portwood Talks Mental Health Issues, Blames Drug Addictions on Fame

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

If you watch Teen Mom online , you know that over the years, Amber Portwood may have struggled harder than any the other girls in the franchise, which is really saying something. Earlier today, Cosmo published a new interview with Amber that may be her most candid to date. The troubled 26-year-old spoke to the mag about everything from her engagement to Matt Baier  to her feelings toward her troubled co-stars. Unlike so many fans of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 , Amber doesn’t hate Farrah Abraham or Jenelle Evans, though she concedes that Baier probably to bang them both .  Her thoughts about her co-stars are certainly interesting, but the most compelling part of the interview may be the portion in which Amber looks inward and describes her own battles with depression and other mental health issues. “I’m actually diagnosed,” Amber replied when asked about her recent revelation that she suffers from borderline personality disorder. “The borderline personality is a new diagnosis that I obviously don’t want to believe, but my therapist believes it. It’s hard. I was diagnosed with bipolar a long time ago. It’s really hard.” She went on to link her condition with her past addictions and violent behavior: “I think people don’t quite understand what it’s like to be bipolar and then have something like borderline personality on top of it, plus you have anxiety disorder. “I’ve just been screwed up since the beginning, which is a big reason why I used to self-medicate as well. I’m glad I have professional help now.” Amber adds that she initially struggled to keep her diagnoses a secret so as not to be judged by fans: “People don’t know about that because I tried to keep it secret. I was kind of embarrassed by it,” Amber says. “Now I’m older and stronger, and I understand that a lot of people deal with these things and that I should be open about it. That’s what I’m trying to do. “I’m still afraid to talk about it because I really don’t want to be judged as some person who can’t control herself.” Amber’s most compelling answer may have been her response to a question about what she would be doing with her life if she hadn’t become a reality television star. “Hell, I don’t know. I wouldn’t be on TV,” Portwood tells Cosmo. “I wouldn’t be in New York right now, that’s for sure. I think my life would be going OK, and I also don’t think that I would’ve been so heavy into drugs, but I think I would have been an addict probably.” Yes, Amber doesn’t blame her addictions entirely on fame, but she does seem to believe her problems wouldn’t have been so severe if Teen Mom hadn’t come into her life. However, she adds that the show also helped with recovery, as she was forced to relive her most embarrassing moments: “But I feel like Teen Mom also helped me get sober as well because I saw everything that I was doing on TV,” she says. “That completely shocked me, and I felt so horrible about it. I was disgusted with myself so it kind of helped me, yeah. It helped me want to get my head out of my ass, honestly.” These days it seems just about everyone involved with the franchise is talking about quitting Teen Mom . Amber, it seems, is still grateful for the way the show transformed her life.
