It's not looking good!
When MTV first began filming the Teen Mom stars, it set out to paint an authentic picture of the struggles of being a teenage mother, even if they weren’t always pretty. The cast members struggled with balancing parenting, school, and relationships while they were still just teenagers. Even though their lives were being broadcast to millions of people, they were fighting many of the same problems as their viewers.
Now, that’s not so much the case. The Teen Mom cast members have a whole new set of problems since their fame has skyrocketed over the past decade. Now instead of trying to pinch pennies to afford diapers, they’re fighting over baby daddy drama or complaining about media attention!
It seems that for most of the cast, worrying about money is a thing of the past. As their fame increased, so did their paychecks, and now many of the cast members make as much as six figures for their work on the show. That’s why it’s so shocking when one of the cast members goes totally broke.
Things aren’t looking good for one Teen Mom 2 cast member. They’re so broke that they’re at risk of becoming homeless!

Humble Beginnings

Teen Mom 2 was a much different show when it first began airing on MTV. At the beginning, the young girls were trying to save up enough money for their own apartments, getting married to their baby daddies, or fighting loved ones for custody. In the case of Chelsea Houska, she had it made in some ways: her father, Randy, was generous enough to pay for her apartment while she finished her GED. But it wasn’t all sunshine and daisies for Chelsea, as her baby daddy Adam Lind made her life something of a living hell.
Despite her friends’ and family’s begging that Chelsea would dump Adam once and for all, Chelsea kept going back to her baby daddy… despite the fact that he called her a b*tch on a somewhat regular basis and was disrespectful to her family and even their daughter. Even so, Chelsea wanted to try her best to make her picture perfect family work with Adam so that Aubree could have a father. Well, we all know how that ended.
Even though Adam wasn’t exactly a fan favorite from the start, he’s recently had a major fall from grace. It started when his addiction to drugs was revealed, and it soon came out that on top of his addiction, he was guilty of some major racism and homophobia.
After Adam and Chelsea split up for good, he went on to have another daughter with a girl named Taylor Halbur. This relationship didn’t last very long either, and Taylor soon took Adam to court to get more custody of their daughter. That’s when his behavior came to light.
Wait, What?!

Taylor asked the Circuit Court of Minnehaha County to suspend his parenting time with their daughter Paislee in court proceedings from June 2017. The court has obtained evidence of his character based on some of the messages he sent, and they’re pretty shocking.
Taylor came with more than enough evidence to prove that Adam isn’t fit to have as much parenting time with their daughter as he does. She gave the court proof of Adam’s drug and alcohol use by giving them comments made on a social media page, and Radar Online has reported on them.
One of the mildest comments was a meme that read, “When that hit of cocaine starts to kick in.” Another was a Facebook status that read, “Late nights and drinking at the shop.”
With all of the Facebook posts that Taylor brought to court, it’s pretty hard for Adam to look like someone who has the time and priorities of a good father.
Radar posted a PDF of the comments. One read, “We will be for too drunk this weekend for all that noise. Bon fire my place I got baby girl so gunna be nice chill night close friends and cold beer.” Then he added, “Gimme a few beers and let’s go downtown bar hopin.”
Drinking while he had their daughter wasn’t the worst of it; he also wrote, “Well by the amount of dope I do I’ll be up for 3 days. My vision is getting weak from old age… and I got the shakes from withdrawals from all hard drugs I do… so sorry.”
Taylor also provided evidence that Adam was racist and homophobic, and incredibly misogynistic… It seems pretty clear he is, judging by these comments reported by Radar.
One read, “I was skinny and fat? You stupid n****r all you’re gonna do is run your mouth… you won’t show… stay behind your phone where you’re safe.” In another post, he wrote, “Any u f*gs wana swing over to my garage tonight?”
In a sickening comment, a friend posted a meme of them together and captioned it, “Did somebody call for a rape? Don’t mind if I do.”
Adam’s Abuse

Taylor is far from the only one who has taken Adam to court for his actions, though. His most recent girlfriend Stasia Huber filed a restraining order against him after he broke her arm!
Stasia’s order reads, in part:
“I have done too many well-checks on Adam than I can count [sic]. Times he has been curled up in a ball crying and trying to take his life. Times that got so bad he has expressed needing mandatory treatment or jail to stop himself. I have always been there for him in the past, he feels hopeless without me.”
Stasia recalls calling off their three-year relationship after having enough of what she calls “betrayal, emotional abuse, drugs and lying and cheating.” But soon, friends of Adam’s “expressed their concerns for his safety because of his depression and drug addiction.”
She also revealed texts Adam sent to her about his suicidal thoughts. “I love her and miss her so much,” Adam texted one of Stasia’s friends on Oct. 27 of this year. “I can’t take this life I just [want to] die.” A few days later on Nov. 2, he wrote, “I need to see her. Like I’m on verge of ending myself here.”
Adam also took these suicidal thoughts directly to Stasia. On Oct. 27, he emailed her, “I think I’m going to kill myself… I can’t take this life another day… Someone dies today.”
Stasia has been granted a protective order wherein Adam must stay 500 feet away from her until their upcoming court date on Dec. 5. She also requested that he get counseling for his addiction.
In the meantime, Stasia wants no contact with Adam. “On September 17th, 2017, after the texts and calls wouldn’t stop, I blocked him on everything and have not talked to him since. It was after he sent me some depressing texts and we started to argue he threatened to hit me with his car if he ever saw me by his place,” she wrote in the order.
She also revealed details about the Adam’s abusive ways:
“While under the influence of drugs, alcohol and steroids, he fractured my forearm, locked me in the house saying I couldn’t leave, smashed my phone, and, once he realized what he had done, he broke down crying and took me to the ER. We broke up for a while after that.”
