Though the first season of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant ended this spring, the drama continued after the cameras stopped rolling.
Throughout the season, Young and Pregnant star Ashley Jones has had a difficult time. She frequently gets into public spats with both her baby daddy, Bar Smith, and his mother, Shenandoah Williams, or Shen.
How are Ashley and Shen going to react to what looks like a new addition to Bar’s face?

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 shot to fame when Young and Pregnant 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—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!"

Ashley then revealed shocking news about Shen. “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, “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…I would NEVER lie about something like that.” She explained that slapping herself is “something I do every time the pressure gets 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?”
Though the couple usually overshares on social media, Bar and Ashley have been uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter in the past few weeks. Bar’s mother…has not been.

Since the finale and the reunion, she has kept up a constant stream of chatter on her accounts and answered any questions that fans have asked.
Shen complained on Twitter, “Sheesh MTV should have prepared us for the bashing and lies ugh its so draining. But truth is gonna be shared publically and i will s**t this s**t up once and for all.”
If Shen has ever watched reality TV, she should have expected what was to come! After all, she chose to be a part of the show with her son and her granddaughter, even though she lives in a separate state!
Shen shared on Facebook, “Okay Reddit calm down loves im not mad i thought u were a news outlet online not a gossip forum so no im not mad lmao fire away. I seem to be such a huge topic I must say though my life is mad crazy and its real.”

Though she does not seem to understand reddit or the Internet, she joked, “Hope u get this post in seconds like the other one lmao i feel like the cia is watching me these places get my posts in seconds.”
Her confusion continued. In another post, she questioned, “Reddit what r they? Cause the ridiculous s**t they r spreading smh sheer comedy…smh people if u defame my family u better have proof to back up your lies.” Shen promised, “Cause I will only sit back for so long but booboo i come with receipts and u will eat those lies i promise u.”
“Sheesh who and what is Reddit?” she ended her post.
“Listen I just don't go bad on people I was wronged I was lied to my kids not on show were off limits,” she ranted on her public Facebook.

Shen spouted, “I treat people how i want to be treated but I'm human just like y'all so when someone plays me or attacks my family I react period.”
In response to a fan question, Shen said on Facebook Live, “I hope I do the next season, but they gotta address some s**t. But we’ll see if anything goes…I’m sure they will. Drama’s what they want.”
Drama is certainly what Shen brings to the table! Luckily, she is willing to share all the details.
In a comment on an Instagram photo, user @carly_hicke asked, “What happened between you and Ashley when she was a stripper in Vegas? We always hear about how close y'all used to be when she lived there but never found out what happened and I'm dying to know!”

Shen replied, “She showed up on my doorstep with nowhere to go. She dodmt work until being here at least 2 months . but our issues started 3 yrs ago she stole my daughter car they all called me when i called for her to give back car she called me hella b**ches this was before i let her stay here.”
Ashley has also shared her story of living with Bar’s family, but obviously Shen has a different perspective.
“She has always been vile and evil to my family,” she said about Ashley. Her comment continued, “Ugh u have no idea that mess om the show she made up its al ing hisyory of her doing horrific things most recent she went for my 8 yr old smh she is evil and her momma”
Though they are on bad terms now, it has not always been the case.

In an Instagram Live, Ashley opened up about Shen’s shocking sexual advances towards her.
“They got drunk on [sic] 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.”
It seems like the past few months have found the family on better terms.
Shen recently tweeted, “So my soon to be daughter in law is in hospital. Someone shared her post in hospital bed reading day 2. I hope they r all okay and pray for fast recovery so holly can have her mommy home good morning”

Ashley had shared a snap of her hospital bracelet on Instagram. She did not share any detail about why she needed medical treatment.
After fans expressed concern, she posted text on her Instagram story reading, “Holly is not in the hospital, guys. She is safe and sound with her Grammy (my mom). But me, lol that’s another story.”
A fan asked Shen on Twitter, “Did she hit herself a little too hard this time?”
Shen replied, “Be nice she is in hospital but no hitting this time.”
Earlier this week, they both seemed fine as Ashley posted a “vlog” of her cousin’s barbecue to her YouTube channel. She shows off baby Holly’s outfit and seems all smiles with her baby daddy, Bar. He happily trades “yo mama” jokes with his uncle.

On May 29th, she posted an Instagram reading: “So I decided to get ahead start on toning up my body for summer, and turned to @flattummyco for a little help.”
Her post continued, “I’ve used their Shake program before, and I really liked my results, so I’m thinking this is just what I need to get back to looking my best. They’re packed with 20 grams of plant based protein, 22 vitamins and minerals, and more than 50 fruits and veggies - so pretty much exactly what I need to be fueling my body with.”
It seems like the family reunion was a cheat day for Ashley. Overall, she and Bar looked like they were in good health as they laughed, drank, and danced at the backyard party. They finish their day of fun with dinner at Red Lobster. However, according to Instagram, things quickly changed!

Bar had an Instagram post on his public page featuring a hospital bracelet and the caption, “My turn.”
Many fans were concerned for his health, but Shen said on Twitter, “Maybe Ashley is still in there he went to emergency for his tummy he is okay.”
However, that’s not what shocked fans the most! On his private Instagram, @barbadbreed, he posted a photo that appeared to show Bar getting a face tattoo! He captioned the action shot, “This day. Cip norm tho. July 23rd almost here I miss you big bro.”
A few months ago, reddit user tipsytops2 asked, “Has anyone else noticed that Bar clearly has two teardrop outlines tattooed under his right eye? Has there been any explanation offered for this? Anyone know if he spent time in juvie/jail/prison?”
They noted, “It seems like this would be something Pastor Tea would be taking issue with.”

Fans on reddit disagree about the meaning of a tear drop tattoo on his face, but many believe it has something to do with Bar’s brother.
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, and was held in Santa Rita Jail with no bond.
According to Radar, “A jury found [Bar’s brother Troy Seales], 30, guilty of the murder of Deandre Adams on April 7.”

However, it was very clear that Bar does not agree with the verdict.
He wrote on Instagram after the trial:
"I have an older brother named Troy Marshall Seales, who today was cheated out of the rest of his life. 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."
A month ago, Shen posted an update on their GoFundMe page that read, “We got great news soon. Yrot [sic] is in great spirits and he will be home soon.”

The GoFundMe, #FreeTroyCampaign, is raising money for expenses related to Troy’s trial, including for his young sons who are “living day to day in hotel rooms.”
Shen is not the only Young and Pregnant star soliciting money from fans. “If y’all really love me,” Bar wrote on Instagram, along with a screenshot of his CashApp handle—which would allow users to send him money directly.
Does he need it for legal fees too? Bar has been in trouble with the law as well. He ended up in jail after a fight with Ashley’s parents turned physical.
Those charges were later dropped, but Starcasm uncovered details of a past arrest! In 2015, Bar was charged with meth possession, trespassing, and providing false information to a police officer.
Bar recently showed off his face tats in a cameo on Ashley's Instagram. Even though she left this photo captionless, fans quickly sounded off with their reactions.
"They are IMO the worst tattoos in the franchise," wrote reddit user humpagoat. User notthebaddest_2 wrote, "Yes, they're real. I think it's so weird when people don't have full sleeves, neck tattoos, their chest covered, etc but have their face tattooed. Some face tattoos look nice, but these do not and they're really out of place on a person who isn't mostly covered in ink."
User Sarcasticallyshe theorized, "I feel like Bar feels unsecure because he is small and has a baby face and looks young for his age. The tattoos are like Fuck it im a badass now noone is gonna think im some chump." User epiicpixie wrote, "Yes. 🙄 He couldn't help himself. He wants so badly to be viewed as a gangster. In reality he's just a loser with some stupid tattoos."
