Unfortunately, the Teen Mom fanbase is no strangers to seeing the stars of the show cuffed and being pushed into a police car. Arrests seem to be just as common as pregnancies among the cast members, and very few of them have managed to get by without having a criminal record.
But when so many of the Teen Mom criminal records come from unpaid speeding tickets and failures to appear in court, the ones about serious crimes like larceny stop fans in their tracks.
Even though 2020 has offered us a fresh slate, the Teen Mom cast members had quite a year when it comes to their legal troubles in 2019.
One of the biggest arrests was that of Amber Portwood, who was busted for domestic violence against her baby daddy Andrew Glennon while he was holding her son!
The night began with Amber and Andrew trying to go see fireworks with their son James, who is currently the subject of their ongoing custody battle, only to find out that the roads were blocked off.
“Mr. Glennon stated Ms. Portwood made him feel like he ‘dropped the ball’ on plans to see fireworks because the roads were blocked….Mr. Glennon stated Ms. Portwood then bashed his character,” the affidavit from the incident states, as reported by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.
Andrew then drove around with James so Amber could “cool off,” and when he returned, Amber had reportedly locked the door.
“Mr. Glennon stated when he got inside the home, Ms. Portwood grabbed a shoe off the shoe rack and hit him with it. Mr. Glennon stated he was holding [the baby] and he turned to the side to avoid [the baby] getting hit with the shoe,” the affidavit reveals. “Mr. Glennon stated he then left [the house] again with [the baby].”
When Andrew got back to the house, Amber came toward him “like she was going to hit him,” according to the affidavit. It goes on, “Mr. Glennon became visibly upset and stated Ms. Portwood then threatened to kill herself,” the affidavit states. “Mr. Glennon stated Ms. Portwood went to her drawer and took a handful of Klonopin and tossed it back like it was nothing.” It then reveals Amber regurgitated the pills.
“Mr. Glennon stated Ms. Portwood picked up a machete towards him and [the baby],” the report states. “Mr. Glennon stated he locked himself and [the baby] into the office. Mr. Glennon stated she hit the door with the machete and kicked the door and broke the handle. Mr. Glennon stated that is when he called for help.”
Now, it looks like another Teen Mom star is starting off 2020 by making arrest headlines all their own.
This time, the perp is Jenelle Evans’ ex boyfriend, Courtland Rogers.
Courtland was arrested on one count of felony larceny and a count of possession of a schedule I drug, according to TMZ. (Schedule 1 drugs include things like heroin, morphine, and mescaline.)
He also has a misdemeanor for “possession of drug paraphernalia and a schedule II drug,” which is “more like pain medications,” TMZ reports.
And this isn’t the only illegal behavior Courtland has been involved in...
'Teen Mom' Star's Child Positive For Methamphetamines At Birth
In the Teen Mom world, fans are no stranger to the stars hurling some huge accusations against one another. Some turn out to be true, while others turn out to be false, but all of them shake up the fanbase in a major way.
Although some accusations are clearly grasping at straws, this development comes from someone with firsthand knowledge. They’re leveling a disturbing accusation that one of the stars was abusing illegal substances throughout their pregnancy.
There’s no debating that using certain substances during a pregnancy is very dangerous. No one in their right mind would debate that drinking alcohol can damage a child, but, shockingly, some believe that partaking in other illegal substances has no harm.
In fact, some of the Teen Mom cast members themselves have admitted to using drugs during their pregnancies!
Jenelle Evans made the shocking confession on Myspace. If you remember Myspace, then you probably remember Formspring. If you don’t, it was a website where people could answer questions anonymously submitted by their friends. Of course being a celebrity, Jenelle was probably answering questions from fans as well — but it was in these questions that Jenelle dropped a bombshell of her drug habits while she was pregnant with Jace.
One anonymous question came in, reading, “My opinion is that you as a person should be able to do what you want that makes you happy as long as it doesn’t affect jase negatively i still drink and i’m a mom, you just have to prioritize, just be the best mom you can be, and you’ll never regret.”
Jenelle responded: “Jace yu mean.. and yes i make sure when i DO smoke im not around him and when i get back home im not high. plussss.. the only time i DO smoke is after my mom gets home from work and my mom is watching Jace for the night and he is already in bed.”
Another asked, “I dont get how any mother can smoke weed when they are prego and endanger there child like that. please tell me that one.”
Jenelle responded: “uhmm… drinking while yr prego is WAY WORSE then smokin a lil bud. and some doctors even RECOMMEND TO THEIR PATIENTS that they should smoke if they are nauseous.”
Sure, Jan-elle.
But now a cast member is being accused of using something much more intense than marijuana: meth!
The news came out after Jenelle’s ex boyfriend, Courtland Rogers, recently took to Twitter to share that he and his wife are calling it quits!
“I want a divorce!” Courtland tweeted, seemingly out of the blue.
This announcement came only a few weeks after Courtland and his wife were having their second child together!
To the surprise of very few, it wasn’t long before Kailyn Lowry herself swooped in to give her two cents!
“Before you do this, think about why,” Kailyn replied to Courtland’s tweet. “Then ask yourself if it can be worked thru… don’t give up bc it’s ‘easier’ to move on to the ‘next best thing’... you will eventually struggle in the next relationship so cherish what you have courtland! Love is a commitment. Even when it’s hard!!! I know I’m being a hypocrite but it’s only bc I’ve been thru it!!!”
But Courtland soon spilled a huge bombshell about his baby mama.
He blasted her on Facebook, writing, “Well since my LEGAL WIFE WANNA PUT SINGLE ON HER PAGE…… I GUESS ITS SAFE TO SAY I AM SINGLE STARTING TODAY…”
He went on in all caps:
“How is it fair that my son Kash Remington Rogers had methamphetamine in his system at birth and my wife still gets to f*ckin have him but I haven’t gotten to see him since he came home from the hospital ???? Will somebody please answer that for me … I want my boys with me I am scared for their safety and lives anywhere else!”
Fans were quick to react to this bombshell.
“When doing meth while you’re pregnant is only a problem AFTER you split up. Okay,” wrote user rachuul on reddit. User Mbluna wrote, “I swear people that air the dirty laundry on line kill me. I’d be so dam embarrassed I couldn’t show my face at the light of day let alone post it for the world to read.”
