Cheating, violence, and jail time
There's a reason that MTV's Teen Mom 2 has been on the air since our four stars were just unknown expecting teens on 16 & Pregnant: they're very entertaining. They're so entertaining because they're always getting into trouble with their parents, their spouses or boyfriends, or even the law. Though it does seem like they're getting just a little bit more mature, as they stand on the edge of their mid-twenties, they still have a lot to learn about adulthood and motherhood.
Jenelle Lets Jace Go
When Jenelle was 18, and her baby's father was long gone, she decided that it would be best to sign over custody of Jace to her mother Barbara. She has since struggled to get him back and is gearing up to face her mom in court to regain custody.
Leah's Turnaround Marriage
Things didn't work out between Leah and Corey Simms; he wanted to divorce her because of her alleged drug use. Less than a year after her divorce was final, she married Jeremy Calvert in 2012. Those two were divorced within a few years too.
Kailyn Jumps the Gun
While Kailyn was still living with her first baby daddy Jo in his parents' house, she started hooking up with Jordan. (Jo was even paying for Kailyn to go to school at the time.) Once he found out about Jordan, he kicked her out, screaming that he wanted his money for her classes back.
Leah's Cheating History
Leah's marriages were pretty surprising because she's been known to fool around a lot. She admitted that she cheated on Corey the night before her wedding to him. She cheated on him again with Jeremy, while Jeremy himself was accused of cheating on his ex-fiancée Brooke.
Afterwards, Corey decided to cheat on his second wife Miranda with Leah. It's all pretty messy.
Jenelle's Bouts of Violence
We don't know what Jenelle's life would have been like if she never got pregnant in her teens or appeared on a reality show; ever since we met her, she's been getting in serious trouble with the law. She has multiple arrests for her violent behavior towards others as well as drugs and trespassing.
Nodding Off
When Jenelle was with her ex Kieffer, they descended into a world of heavy drug use. Jenelle would do so much heroin that she would nod off mid-conversation while the cameras were rolling. She was charged with heroin possession at one time.
The Punch
Kailyn wasn't exactly an angel; she had been known for her shady behavior long before she met her husband Javi. We didn't expect her to punch him right in the face for not putting their dogs away though.
Chelsea Loves Adam
Adam Lind has come out looking like a true villain on Teen Mom 2, although he claims it's only because MTV tries to make him look that way.
What's really surprising is that Chelsea had casual and not-so-casual hook-ups with him for years after breaking up with him... right up until she met her husband Cole.
Ali's Condition
Leah really had her hands full (more than the other moms) since she was expecting twins for her first pregnancy. She had even more to deal with once she thought there was something wrong with one of the girls.
After multiple doctor visits, Ali was diagnosed with a muscular disorder. Though the little girl has taken her condition in stride, she won't be able to walk when she's older.
Jenelle's Wedding
Before having her other children, young Jenelle had no responsibility because she didn't have custody of Jace. She really didn't seem like the marrying type when she was running around partying and getting arrested in her early 20s, but she shocked everyone when she eloped with Courtland Rogers. The marriage lasted just a few months though.
Kailyn V. Vee
Kailyn and her ex Jo have been getting along very well in recent years, as they co-parent their child Isaac. Breaking up the peace, Jo's current lady Vee thinks that he should seek 50/50 custody with Isaac even though he can see his son whenever he wants.
Backstage during a Teen Mom 2 reunion, Vee confronted Kailyn about the custody arrangement, and Kailyn claimed that she felt attacked by Vee and burst into tears.
It's not Vee's place to seek custody of a child that isn't her own.
Jenelle's Priorities
When Jenelle was facing jail time for one of her many offenses, her lawyer was shocked when she said that she was only upset about going to jail because she would miss a Kesha concert. She put feathers in her hair and everything.
Kailyn's Surprise Baby
The most shocking thing to come out of Teen Mom 2 after all these years is the fact that Kailyn is pregnant with her third child, and we don't know who the father is. Kailyn is currently more than halfway through her third pregnancy, and she refuses to tell anyone who the dad is.
She was pregnant shortly after splitting from Javi, before they were even divorced. She claims that it was planned, but we're skeptical about that.
No Cameras
Jenelle is also a pretty big fan of Miley Cyrus. When she was rushing to get to Miley's show with Nathan Griffith, she got pulled over for speeding. She was so upset by the incident that she ripped MTV's car cameras off of her car's interior.
More to Come
We're quite sure that the ladies of Teen Mom 2 are going to keep throwing curve balls our way for years to come.
