Fans will never know what is coming next on Teen Mom. Even for the franchise, this latest bombshell is just...kind of gross! Is she still talking to her mother-in-law after this crazy incident?
Young and Pregnant star Ashley Jones has had a difficult time with her in-laws. She frequently gets into public spats with both her baby daddy, Bariki Smith , and his mother, Shenandoah Williams.
Ashley was living in Las Vegas when she found out that she was expecting her first child. She gave birth to Holly in September of 2017. She and Bar began starring on Young and Pregnant when it premiered in March.
Since they have begun appearing on the show, the couple has become known for their huge fights that involve many family members. They spar frequently, but recently she and Bar have even confirmed that physical abuse takes place between them. The news came out during an intense Instagram video that Ashley shared after the two had a vicious fight.
“You guys want to know the real about Bar?” she says in the clip. “He f**king beats me! How’s that for real? He and his mom are bullies! He puts his f**king hands on me and he expects me not to put my hands back on him! His mom put her hands on me and he expects me not to put my hands on her,” she exclaims. “But he beats my motherf**king a** in this house with my daughter!”
Soon after, Bar’s mother Shen shared the clip and added the caption, “Ashley is hitting h3rself. And said she is telling police bar did it smh but her fans say im crazy and wrong this is what we deal with.”
Ashley quickly shot back on Twitter. “Yeah you did see that video of me slapping myself, but I didn’t lie about anything. He does get physical with me often,” Ashley wrote. “But I love him and I stay because I really want things to work ok . Jesus . I would NEVER lie about something like that.” She explained that slapping herself is “something I do every time the pressure gets [too] real and I’m on the verge of loosing [sic] my s**t.”
Shockingly, Bar himself soon admitted to the violence.
“Here y’all go for everyone who’s wondering, yes sometimes s**t gets physical on both ends but I ain’t no woman abuser and all that extra s**t,” he wrote on Instagram. “YES we fight but s**t who doesn’t, it’s all a work in progress but no one has bruises or none like that so please stop trolling everyone. thank you!!!”
However, fans report that in another Instagram live video, Ashley can be heard saying that he doesn’t have to hit her. Bar reportedly responds, “Well you keep flappin your motherf**king mouth.”
Ashley then allegedly revealed Bar didn’t want her to leave and asked her, “Why, so you can call the police?”
Many fans on Twitter seem to take Bar’s side in the couple’s constant fighting. @Lexi52994 defended Bar in a tweet reading, “Bar is the calmest MF on the whole d*mn show and HE the only one in anger management?”
Twitter user @JAZZYL0912 empathized with Bar’s situation and wrote, “I feel like Ashley is the type that if Bar left her she’d deny him seeing his child.” However, other fans have accused Bar of sticking around for the wrong reasons.
User @kenyyyaa_ tweeted, “Bar just p*ssed me all the way to off. Ain’t nobody in this world that would ever come between me and my mom. Ashley must got some magical fairy dust between are legs cause she got him whipped.” Many fans seem unable to pick a side in their drama. Some viewers are simply concerned about the children involved.
Reddit user nyrihunter wrote, “I don't feel Ashley should have to respect Shen. Especially since Shen isn't trying to show her any sort of respect. And Shen seems to have a very unhealthy relationship with her sons and seems to have a deep hatred towards any woman her sons bring home..."
Her post continued, “Yes it's nice to have a great relationship with a parent, but it's also unhealthy for the parent to expect to be the #1 to the point of obsession. Just because her sons decide to find a woman they want to be with doesn't mean she gets erased as a mother. She needs to learn the difference of the joy of parental love and the need for her sons to have a healthy, romantic relationship with someone else. If Bar really cares for Ashley and his child, he needs to have a serious sit down with his mom and draw the line.”
A serious sit down with Shen will be difficult. She recently went off on her son and his girlfriend on Twitter in a lengthy rant.
Shen wasn't done there. It continued:
"They not little they lie and attack me only they delete i don't. Now fake accounts saying i wish rape on them wtf fake court orders bashing all my kids lying on my name horrific s**t. I prove the lies and move on.why can they bash and lie all over internet w No proof but im wrong when i come to defend my name. Have u seen the horrific s**t this family has done not just to me but my family. They told a judge i put holly in danger and judge asked for proof they dismt have caight them lying in court…And judge finally said what is the mlst aggregious thing she did they said entertsin fans comments smh they used the court system to lie and got caught by judge i won needless to say."
Shen went on, "This has been constant attacks by Ashley for 3 yrs go look and then tell Me how u feel. I post proof. I o out their posts that they delete the racial rant the attack physically bashing my 5 yr old grand baby u habe no idea what they have done. Then i send the racial rant video and petition to MTV and now fake page prerending to be."
Compared to the rest of his family, Bar has stayed fairly quiet on social media. He once stated on Twitter, “I hate that I helped get certain people platforms to voice themselves cause they say bulls**t all day dude.” Based on their track record, Bar is throwing shade at either his baby mama or his actual mama…or maybe even both. Who knows? With this crew, sides are always changing.
One thing that they can all agree on is complaining about MTV’s coverage of themselves on social media. Bar tweeted, “I don’t hide who I am on any level welcome to my reality they put a “hood rat” as y’all say on tv.”
Shenandoah recently posted, “Im in Vegas love isn't that crazy they make it seem like im down the street the story line is all a lie. Always has been and now its turned into way more serious issues."
However, fans have their own opinions. Twitter user @showmeshannon posted, “These girls on #YoungAndPregnant are so a$$ backwards. Ashley says ‘When you get pregnant you wonder if the dude is going to be there’. You're supposed to make them prove themselve before that. #goodgrief”
Ashley replied, “Obviosuly it didn’t happen like that , for some reason the idea of getting pregnant was no existent to me , so I behaaves recklessly , sorry lol . We worked it out tho.”
She defended herself in another tweet, writing, “I graduated high school on time , with good grades and I am still currently in college with a 4.0 gpa , so please miss me with that young dumb and pregnant s**t.”
Though their issues are often publicized, Ashley spoke out about rumors online about the couple by posting, “She It’s so funny that all these people are betting on Bar to leave me , if that’s not some hating a** s**t
Though the couple’s fights have been highly public, they also frequently flirt on Twitter. Bar once tweeted, “Aye y’all I’m about to go get some booty from that girl Ashley on teen mom young and pregnant I’ll hit y’all after.”
However, it's rare that their social media is so cheerful. In one Facebook post, now deleted, Shen said: “Now I can’t c holy again said im toxic for holly no boo u r toxic for holly and my son. U r blocked. This poot butt broad said grow up lmao okay boo I’m done stop texting me I don’t care anymore. u r a fraud ashley Jones.
What set Shen off? Was it Ashley’s shocking reveal about her mother-in-law?
In an Instagram Live, Ashley opened up about Shen’s stunning sexual advances towards her. “They got drunk on Amsterdam together with Bar present, and Shen was telling Ashley how pretty she was and tried kissing her. Bar intervened and said, ‘Mom, why are you trying to kiss my girl?’” reveals Reddit user CadburyBunnyPoo, who tuned in. “Bar was there when Ashley said it on IG and he did not disagree.”
Soon after, Shen spoke out about the accusations! “So now i get ugly she posted i tried to mak3 out with her she better prove it in court im done,” Shen wrote on Facebook. “Now I am gonna bring the big dogs out im tired of her lies she is a lot sicker than I thought 1st off I don’t do girls and if I did her panties would be clean.”
On Twitter, Shen shared, “Good morning [so] today i guess i have to address [yet] another lie/allegation. I didn’t even make a pass at Thislittle girl. She and this accusation after her leaked her fake domestic violence video to protect my son from going to jail when he did not do it.” She added, “If i did like girls, i prefer clean panties and house and human lmao.”
In another tweet, Shen wrote, “The point is he should have never had to choose we play different roles. Ashley has behaved like i was the other woman. She created a problem that was never there which is why im so baffled.”
Ashley has commented publicly on their disagreement, tweeting, “I don’t respect no one that was on my couch two days ago talking about a kumbaya but then gang gang on social media . Could have picked up a phone . Period . End of discussion.”
Twitter user @joecee6969 said, “I think you both need to grow up and stop the petty s**t. You’re both mothers. It’s time to let things go and move forward for your daughters sake.”
Ashley quickly replied, “Girl bye . She was on my couch 2 days ago and then all of a sudden on twitter calling me a bunch of b**ches . No respect.”
Surprisingly, soon after this Ashley posted a public apology to Shen. “Said and did a lot of s**t to my mother in law that wasn’t ok,” she wrote on Twitter. “I love her and her son and want to move forward because my daughter deserves it.”
Luckily, Shen seems willing to accept the apology. “It’s heart breaking, but as a mother I will still be there to help in any way,” Shen tweeted. “But healing will take a long time. I have been thru so much over this: lied on, defamed but forgiveness will start healing. I am going with caution.”
There’s just one person standing in the way of the reconciliation: Ashley’s mother, Pastor Tea, who has made her dislike for Shen very clear. She took to Twitter to add her two cents to the confusing fight. “All your kids are criminals,” Pastor Tea wrote.
“…The one in jail now was caught on [camera] but you say he innocent,” she continued, referring to Bar’s brother who was found guilty of murder. “You are low class on every level. I grew up in the projects and I never met anyone more trashy than you. All those kids lives you have ruined. Not one have a solid education and you dont either. Anyone dealing with you loves the mess because everyone knows that to pull me out of character…..you have truly crossed the line.”
Then she asked Shen to talk to her face to face. “Shen you been lying on me since day one. You don’t know me and every time Bar asked you to speak with me you tucked your tail and ran. It’s easy to press a 21 year old but you not gone press me. This goes much further than tv. I’m ready to SEE YOU!!! Nuff said.”
Pastor Tea added, “I don’t do this social media stuff. See me in real life. We got some talking to do. Call me Shen. Don’t run. face to face. Tell me where you getting all your lies from because your own son don’t deal with you because of what you done and you not telling folks.”
To no surprise, Shen quickly responded via Facebook. “So I’m confused pastor=your daughter faked [domestic violence] and u find a way to make this about me, naw I’m good,” she wrote, adding: “When i wanted to talk no one else did but I c what kind of people in dealing with. we will not sit down without attorneys because their behavior is maliciously done from hate and spite. u r capable of anything. focus on the kids getting help and making everything right for holly. I speak truth and real i have proven that."
Shen continued, “Sorry u disagree but im over it and u. So take the high school behavior to an adult so they can guide u cause this s**t is real not show.”
Shen has shared a Change.org petition to “get racist Pastor Tea fired from MTV.” The petition claims that “MTV AND VIACOM SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO HAVE THIS WOMAN REPRESENTING THEM” because of “THE TIME SHE SAID BLACK WOMAN ONLY GET ON THEIR KNEES FOR MONEY” and calling “A FELLOW CASTMATE ‘WHITE TRASH’ AND ‘TRAILER TRASH.’”
Shen certainly keeps viewers entertained with her antics. Reddit user Hufflepuffmom12 wrote, “Shen is that girl who's Facebook name used to be "Shen snowbunny" or "Shen Bigbooty" Whatever the last name is lol. I have 2 of those girls on my page still. Only keep them on there for their crazy posts and drama lol.”
Though their drama has kept fans entertained, will it be back for another season? Maybe the family tension got to be too much because Bar and Ashley have allegedly broken off their engagement!
