Some Teen Mom relationships are clearly meant to last. Fans have enjoyed watching some of the true love stories play out on the show, and many of the cast members have found “the one” while they were filming. But more often than not, it doesn’t exactly have a fairytale ending.

On the newest addition to the franchise, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, MTV introduced a number of couples that had rocky beginnings. From Kayla with her unreliable boyfriend Stephan to Brianna with her angry ex-boyfriend Danae, some relationships were clearly doomed from the very beginning. But many fans thought that Ashley Jones and her baby daddy Bar Smith were in it for the long haul.

And for a while, it seemed that they were going to last!

Like any reality star, Ashley and Bar decided to announce their upcoming nuptials via Instagram. Sharing a picture of them decked out from head to toe in denim, they revealed that their wedding date will be September 29, 2019. Needless to say, fans have many opinions about their announcement.

“15 months away,” wrote reddit user livefromtheland. “That’s plenty of time for them to break up a few times.” User benzarella wrote, “This won’t happen. They will break up and get back together a few times between now and the wedding date before it gets postponed and finally falls off the cliff. It’s pretty clear these two aren’t good together.”

Many fans were pretty pessimistic about what Bar’s controversial mother, Shen, will do at the wedding. “Cannot wait to see what Shen wears to the wedding.. my money is on a white dress,” wrote Pococosa. User GlitzAndGrit theorized, “You know Shen's gonna show up to Bar's bachelor party in some weird reverse Oedipus complex kind of way.”

And, of course, not everyone was a huge fan of the denim. “Who wakes up and decides to wear full denim in their engagement photos?!” wrote HustlinLiaaaah. But victoriacoren disagreed, writing, “I legit think they're pulling off this denim look.”

But apparently it just wasn’t meant to be. Within a week of their save-the-date announcements, it began to seem that all was not well between the two.

Fans started to notice something was awry when Bar and Ashley unfollowed one another on Instagram — and deleted all of their couple photos off of their accounts as well. “Wedding planning is going well i see,” joked reddit user lucillebluth1213. User SweetTchr wrote, “Well this is clear evidence that these two should literally never ever get married.” And apparently their prediction wasn’t too far off the mark.

Soon, the breakup was confirmed from an unexpected source: Bar’s mother Shen.

“He called me saying momma I played my whole family for this b*tch and she played me smh,” Shen spilled on Facebook. “But then he goes on another rant with me i hung up told him When he finds himself and some respect then call I’m over it all. Momma won’t run to his rescue this time.he getting tough love.”

A fan asked, “They still arn’t back together? .. did he leave the apartment or did she?” Shen replied, “He moved out she called the police after busting his lip and his best friend went to jail smh he said she said some real foul stuff he can’t trust her no more.”

This violence between Ashley and Bar isn’t the first time they’ve gotten physical. Ashley has recently accused Bar of physical abuse! The news came out during an intense Instagram video that Ashley shared after fighting with her man.

“You guys want to know the real about Bar?” she says in the clip, in which she is clearly distraught. “He f*cking beats me! How’s that for real? He and his mom are bullies! He puts his f*cking 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*cking a** in this house with my daughter!”

Even though it’s obvious that Ashley was distressed when she filmed the devastating video, not everyone believed it. In fact, her soon to be mother-in-law, Shen, was quick to accuse Ashley of making up all of her claims of Bar’s abuse.

“Ashley is hitting h3rself,” Shen alleged. “And said she is telling police bar did it smh but her fans say im crazy and wrong this is what we deal with.”

The severity of abuse accusations go both ways: the accusations themselves should never be made lightly, but accusing someone of making them up is also a very dangerous thing to do, especially without evidence. Soon, Ashley took to Twitter to refute Shen’s claims.

“Yeah you did see that video of me slapping myself, but I didn’t lie about anything. He does get physical with me often,” she 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 sh*t.”

Ashley and Shen could no doubt spend days debating these accusations without making any ground… but soon another voice was added to the mix. Shockingly, Bar himself spoke out to confirm that he has gotten physical with Ashley.

“Here y’all go for everyone who’s wondering, yes sometimes sh*t gets physical on both ends but I ain’t no woman abuser and all that extra sh*t,” he wrote on Instagram. “YES we fight but sh*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. In the video, Bar reportedly responds, “Well you keep flappin your motherf*cking mouth.” Ashley then allegedly revealed Bar didn’t want her to leave and told her, “Why, so you can call the police?”

The stars all sent mixed signals, but fans seem decided that it’s not a good situation for anyone. “So no bruises means it’s okay? That’s scary. One day it’ll escalate into bruises or even possibly more. & who just puts this out there on social media for the world to see?” wrote reddit user knelso05.

“Bar needs to be off the show,” wrote reddit user BastaniUsername. “I liked him on TM but all this drama spilling out from Ashley is so scary. I'm starting to understand there is a LOT that goes on behind the scenes we don't see. This is a very dangerous situation for Ashley and [their newborn daughter] Holly.”

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the drama in Ashley’s family. There are other reasons why fans are apprehensive about the two being married, including Ashley recently sharing that Bar’s mother Shen made a sexual advance at her early on in their relationship.

Ashley opened up about Shen’s sexual advance on her Instagram live. “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 these particular accusations as well!

“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.”

Surprisingly, soon after this Ashley posted a public apology to Shen. Apparently, she is trying to patch things up with her future mother in law.

“Said and did a lot of sh*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 this reunion: Ashley’s mother, Pastor Tea, who has made her dislike for Shen very clear from the beginning. She took to Twitter to add her two cents to the confusing fight.

“All your kids are criminals,” Pastor Tea wrote. “And the one in jail now was caught on [camera] but you say he innocent,” she said, 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.”

She 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.. 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 sh*t is real not show.”

As if all of this in-fighting was not enough, Shen has even had some choice words against her own son. The fight started when Bar’s brother was accused of murder.

According to reports by Radar Online, Bar’s older brother Troy Seales, who is thirty years old, was on trial for the murder of Deandre Adams. Adams was shot multiple times in Oakland California on Aug. 25, 2017. He was rushed to a hospital after crashing his vehicle and later passed away due to his injuries.

Bar’s older brother was then arrested on Sept. 12, where he was charged with two counts of great bodily injury and one count of shooting and inhabited dwelling. He later pled not guilty to murder.

According to Radar, “A jury found [Bar’s brother Troy Seales], 30, guilty of the murder of Deandre Adams on April 7.”

It wasn’t long before Bar spoke out on Instagram about the case. “I have an older brother named Troy Marshall Seales, who today was cheated out of the rest of his life,” Bar shared on Instagram. “He has been fighting a murder charge since September of 2017, he has been in trial for this murder charge for the last 2 weeks, he was completely snatched of all opportunity at having a second chance at life, a innocent man should be given the same equal opportunities as everyone else in this world. In this trial literally everything bad has happened from horrible lawyer representation to jurors (who decided whether he was guilty or not), falling asleep in mid trial.”

But Shen wasn’t having it. “Bar crying they took his brother,” she wrote. “[You] didn’t even sit [through] his trial or put up one dime for lawyer. [You] just got a storyline minutes after [the] verdict. I lost two sons but my 1st born, we will fix this. I [won’t] stop until justice is served. A sleeping juror cannot decide anyone’s fate.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the end of the tragedies that Bar’s family have gone through recently. News recently broke that one of Shen’s foster daughters was shot.

Bar’s controversial mother, Shen, reported on the incident via Facebook: “God i got a call One of the kids i raised was shot last night ugh i hate being this far bit momma is coming baby,” she wrote. “She is okay tjank god . i wish theu would al get the hell out of there and come to live out here this is gonna be one of them days smh.”

Ironically, when Shen initially called Bar to reveal the news to him, he didn’t pick up because of the growing tension between them. “Someone tell my hard headed son it’s an emergency call,” Shen wrote, saying that Bar’s “phone is off.”

Shen shared more news with fans, writing, “One of the girls I raised was shot last night — three times.” Mercifully, she survived. “But she’s OK,” Shen wrote. “I talked to her this morning and she’s doing good.”

Local paper East Bay Times reported on a shooting at the same time, which is likely the same incident. The shooting took place at 8:51PM on June 22 in the 2000 block of 80th Avenue in East Oakland.

According to the report, Shen’s daughter “told police she was walking when she heard gunshots and saw that she had been wounded.”

The outlet reports: “Police don’t have a motive yet for the shooting and are trying to determine if the woman was the intended target or was hit by a random shot. No arrests have been made. Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or 510-238-7950 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.”

As Starcasm reports, it should be clarified that although Shen calls the victim her daughter, the woman is not biologically relate to Shen. Shen had five children, but says that she raised 47 children in total! Starcasm points out, “And she did that in a VERY difficult environment with gang violence, drug dealers, and more all around.”

Facebook group Teen Mom Mama Drama later gave an update about the event. “Teen Mom Mama Drama can confirm that Bariki’s sister J Weez was shot,” the group reads. “J Weez was apparently walking when gun shots were fired. She was wounded and taken to a local hospital. The police are still investigating the situation.”

They couldn't work it out!

J Weez also posted videos from an event she attended at San Leandro Marina that same day, which came to a shocking end when someone fired a gun into the air, causing the crowd to panic. The event took place three hours before J Weez’s own shooting. Check out the video above.
