You'll never forget these 'TMOG' moments!
Teen Mom OG is back, everyone! After the show's long awaited return from hiatus, we know that you need another Teen Mom drama fix! Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's our list of all the best and most shocking moments in TMOG history to tide you over until next week.
From fights to arrests to cheaters and liars, we've got it all!
The Fight. You know which one.
We'll start with the obvious — the explosive 'TMOG' brawl at the reunion show. We were still surprised at the severity of the incident even though we all knew that it was coming! That's saying something.
The blow-out centered around Farrah, Simon, Matt, and Amber and their inability to play nice for any reason; it led to Amber quitting (then un-quitting) the series.
Maci quit
Unsurprisingly, Amber's quitting claims aren't the only ones in Teen Mom history, nor were they the only ones to center around Farrah Abraham!
When the show returned from its year-long hiatus, MTV said it was cutting ties with Farrah, following her foray into the adult entertainment industry. When they revealed to Maci that Farrah would, in fact, be returning, she threatened to quit the show if Abraham was to be involved becuase she didn't want Bentley appearing alongside a porn star.
Farrah's Production Freak Out
It also wasn't the only time a Mom got physical on camera. (Seriously, it happens so much.) Farrah's most infamous lashing out came in season five, when her producer told her she had to film despite an ongoing legal dispute over her contract.
Naturally, Farrah absolutely lost it. No amount of explanation could do this moment justice, so just watch for yourself above.
Farrah and Debra Come to Blows
During their first appearance on MTV in 16 and Pregnant's first season, Debra Danielsen and Farrah Abraham showed that their relationship was volatile. I mean, Debra was seen slapping her daughter on-screen back then. It was not good.
While the next bit didn't appear on-screen, the aftermath of the incident did, and, boy, was it crazy.
Farrah Gets Debra Arrested
In 2010, it was reported by local news in Iowa that there had been a domestic disturbance in Debra and Farrah's home, and that Debra had been arrested for getting physically violent with her daughter while Sophia (then a toddler) was in the room.
According to Farrah (and the police reports), Debra grabbed her by the throat and struck her in the face before Farrah was able to get away and call the authorities.
Again?
Later, Farrah confirmed that she suffered physical abuse in her childhood at the hands of her parents, but fans were left shocked when it came out that the abuse had escalated to legal trouble — especially since we had no idea that there had been a longstanding and fairly severe history of abuse in the household at the time of this particular incident.
Amber's Terrifying Temper
Amber has had a really rough run on the show. Although a lot of the Moms have done questionable (read: illegal) things on the show, none of them have faced the consequences quite like Amber.
We all know that she served 17 months in prison, but apparently her tendency to lash out at her baby-daddy, Gary, is what put her there.
And Her Domestic Abuse Charges
The original video and episode from MTV is no longer hosted by the network, thanks to the (deserved) backlash they caught for airing it (and not intervening), but here's just about the closest thing we can find of the footage — a recap video from TMZ.
Amber's New Man
Speaking of Amber, she's been giving OG fans a steady stream of shocking moments throughout the show. The most recent? Her relationship with Matt Baier.
Fans were confused, surprised, grossed out, and everything in between when they met Amber's new, long-distance boyfriend who was 20 years her senior.
They were even more confused when they decided to move in together upon their first IRL meeting.
Matt's Got Secrets
Even more reveals came from the couple, but the next round were all courtesy of Matt. Amber seemed just as surprised as Teen Mom fans when she found out that Baier has eight kids by six different women. That wouldn't be too much of an issue (like, you do you, Matt), but apparently Matt totally ditched most of the moms and basically all of them were after him for child support payments.
Not to mention... He didn't tell Amber for quite some time. That's so shady.
Lots of Secrets
Finally, it was revealed that Amber wasn't the first Teen Mom that Matt had pursued over the Internet, despite his claims that he wasn't aware of the Teen Mom world at the time of their meeting. It turns out that Baier tried to ask out both Farrah and Jenelle on Twitter before setting his sights on Amber.
That had to hurt.
Catelynn's Drug Use
There have been tons and tons of allegations of MTV enabling reckless behavior in the Teen Mom stars, but this one might take the cake. Who could forget the season five episode ("Animal Instincts") where Catelynn, uh... self-medicates while driving with her mom.
To be fair, the smoking wasn't the illegal part — Catelynn has a medical marijuana card, which is legal in the state of Michigan — but she and the network faced major backlash due to the fact that she was getting high while operating a vehicle.
Speaking of April...
Whenever (if-ever) you sorted it out for yourself, it was probably downright shocking (I know it was for me): Tyler Baltierra's dad and Catelynn Lowell's mom were married for a while.
Yep, that means that Teen Mom OG's most stable couple spent some of their romance as step-siblings, in addition to being a high school sweethearts.
Yep, Step-Siblings
Butch and April met through their children and began dating after the kids did. They got married for a time, but after allegations of domestic abuse against Butch, they split. As of 2012, they were back together and the charges were dropped, but they split again, and April is remarried to another man.
Tyler's Troubled Past
The Butch/April marriage wasn't the only shocking reveal from the Baltierra's past. We recently discovered that Tyler's childhood was rougher than most of us thought. In a heartfelt conversation with his father, Tyler revealed that he attempted suicide at age 12, due in part to the fact that Butch wasn't around.
This was, of course, both shocking and tragic, since Catelynn spent most of last season struggling through postpartum depression with Tyler as her rock. It was devastating to hear that Tyler has dealt with similar mental health troubles over the years.
Maci's Third Baby
Maci tends to fly a bit under the radar. While the other stars have scandals left and right, Maci rarely makes waves. One shocking (though not scandalous) reveal was when the star let us know that she was pregnant again, just months after giving birth to her second child.
Apparently, this came as a surprise to Maci, as well. She was at the doctor to get her birth control prescription refilled after delivering baby Jayde when she got the news!
Surprise Exes
Maci's got one other surprise to her name, but this one isn't really about anything she did. No, this has to do with a surprisingly trash-like ex-boyfriend (doesn't it always?).
After breaking up with Ryan Edwards for good, Maci began dating her new "everything I want" boo, Kyle King. They appeared to be an incredibly strong couple on the show, but come the reunion they revealed they had split.
Moving On
It turns out Maci discovered that Kyle had been going out with other girls during their relationship. Like I said, trash.) Despite the fact that he denied being intimate with the other women in any way, Maci kicked him to the curb and never looked back!
She's clearly happy with her new man. No one needs a cheater in their lives! Good for you, girl.
