Have you met a 'Teen Mom' star?
While you may think that you know every single detail about the young men and women on Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2, you still have never met them and don't know what they would be like face-to-face.
There are plenty of people out there who have though; they've had meaningful or short and sweet encounters with our beloved Teen Moms, and they're ready to dish the good, the bad, the ugly, and the extremely surprising moments.
Leah's Bad Days
"I've ran into Leah shopping quite a few times. I swear I was seeing her once a week in Charleston during her pillses days. She always looked a mess and her hair was 100% worse in person. I haven't seen her on my recent visits home though." (ya-freak-b**ch)
Two-Faced Farrah
"I briefly worked with Farrah at a HyVee in Council Bluffs back in the day, and have run into her a few times since. She could be very volatile to coworkers and her personal friends who came into the store, but she was always polite to customers. There were a few instances when she would take phone calls from Sophia's dad and SCREAM at him over the line.
I once encountered her in the wild at a Bass Pro where she was having Sophia's photo taken with the Easter Bunny. She held up the line and insisted they retake the photo multiple times until she was happy, which irked A LOT of people waiting and the employees themselves. She left pretty quickly after and kind of glared at people in line as she did. Deb was with her and glared right along." (drawfromthewell)
Opposite Personas
"I never met the girls in person but I did interview Jenelle and Chelsea by phone. I also had a phoner with Leah but she asked to reschedule last minute and that didn't work out for me. I declined speaking to Kailyn - I don't remember why.
Anyways, Jenelle wanted to chat up a storm and was really polite on the phone. Her manners were exceptional, which is rare for reality stars who think they're a-list. I second what people are saying about Chelsea. She was very short and rude. She bit my head off when I asked about the website debacle between her and Jenelle. It was basically opposite world. I expected different personas from both of them." (echoLA27)
Suuuper Nice
"I've written this before, but I met Leah and Jeremy once in Vegas. They walked by me when I was playing video poker and I got super excited. The friend they were with (not Kayla) offered to take a picture of us. They were suuuper nice, and didn't seem too freaked out when hungover me asked 'how are the girls!?!?' That's gotta be weird having a stranger ask about your kids." (MatildaWormwood)
Nice and Crazy
"Met Kail at her first book's tour and she was super sweet and really chatty. My ex best friend is best friends with Jenelles sister so I've talked to her sister briefly once and Jenelle on Facebook and twitter a few times but never met them. Both were nice and both were crazy as well as my ex best friend." (Justlikethenotebook)
Farrah's Club Parties
"A friend of a friend went to the Austin strip club when Farrah was in residence or had a weekly spot or something. He said it was exactly what you would expect, and I pretended not to know who he was talking about." (gyaradostwister)
Amber's Bad Days
"I've posted about it before but I met Amber back in the pillses days. She came into the store where I worked and I was helping her. She asked me if we had a shoe section and I said, 'no, they're kind of spread around. Are you looking for heels or wedges or...?' She replied 'What the f**k are wedges?' And I said, 'you know, like a wedge heel.' And I kind of made a wedge motion. And she actually said 'Oh, I don't know, they dress me.' It was so over the top but I would never lie on the internet." (bobenifer)
Local Girl
"Kail is actually from where I'm from in Pennsylvania (Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania). My friends and I would always see her at our local mall and she would always stop to take pictures!" (moolissy)
Reserved
"I've interviewed/met Jenelle and Farrah (and Javi, if anyone cares about dads). Farrah has always been super kind to me (but I'm press, so handle that like a grain of salt). Jenelle was really reserved." (cj1991)
Gary Gone Wild
"I have a coworker who's somehow related to Gary's wife Kristina and he said he was at their family thanksgiving this year. I'm from Indiana and someone I know saw Gary at a bar once downtown and he was super wasted outside the bar yelling 'IM F**KING FAMOUS!!!'" (luckyyyyyy53)
Super Friendly
"I met Farrah at a conference/work shop thingy a few years back. She was super friendly, asked me what kind of work I did, we chatted and networked a bit. We exchanged business cards but since I'm not in her area we never actually got in touch." (TeenMomLurker)
Maci's Night out
"I once met Maci way back in the first two season of TM at a bar in Lebanon Tennessee called Silverado's. I had been outside taking a smoke break and there she was off to the side with a few girls smoking a cig as well. I nervously walked up to her and said hello but didn't know what else to say.
She asked me not to tell anyone that she was there that she was just trying to have a fun night out with her girl friends without any interruptions. Of course I told her I wouldn't mention seeing her and she said that was the reason she would visit smaller clubs a bit outside of Chattanooga & Nashville so she could just let loose without worry. She was super friendly just as you'd expect. Of course as the night went out I guess someone else outed her and we seen her and her friends take off running out the door to leave." (Robatoots)
Like a Teen
"I had a nurse when I was in the hospital who graduated a few years before Chelsea from the same HS. She said she would see her and her friends when she would go out to the bar or whatever back in the early days of TM. She said Chelsea was basically a stuck up snot and acted like a cliquey teenager with her friends. Of course that's only one persons account of things and is subject to their interpretation, but I could definitely see it." (thejessicass)
"Went to esthetician school with her. I could say a lot but choose not to lol because that's not who i am but let's just say most people really didn't like her." (IHeartLN)
Cock of the Walk
"A former co-worker of mine met Tyler and Catelynn at a book signing. She said that they were both stoked that people came out for it. Also, that Catelynn was sweet and Tyler was nice, but 'cocky.'" (lolmemberberries)
All the Moms
Farrah can run hot and cold, Chelsea is standoffish, and Leah is a bit of a mess. Did these Teen Moms meet your expectations or were they totally different than on TV?
