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.”
What do you think about Courtland’s reveal?
Courtland isn’t the only one facing flak on social media…
Gone Too Far? Kailyn Lowry Compares Vaccines to the Holocaust
Kailyn Lowry isn't one to keep her opinions to herself, but this time fans are concerned that she really went too far. The tattoo-covered Teen Mom star is notoriously anti-vaccination, and she shares plenty of anti-vax content on her social media.
What set fans off this time is an Instagram post that compared vaccinations to mass murder. They were livid about the nature of the post and felt the implications are more harmful than she intended.
Kailyn Lowry’s anti-vaccination stance has been a difficult topic for fans, and this time she may have lost more fans than she bargained for.
Her anti-vax lifestyle has raised concerns over her children’s safety in the past. When Kailyn first had Isaac and Lincoln, she made an incredibly controversial decision to not vaccinate her children. Shortly after Lincoln’s birth, Kailyn opened up about her decision. “We aren’t vaccinating,” she tweeted, adding that her children could still attend school if they “fill out a specific form.”
Soon after the birth of her third child, Lux, Kailyn doubled down on her anti-vaxxing ways and confirmed as of Lux turning 18 months that he was not vaccinated.
Kailyn later took to her podcast, Coffee Convos, to clarify her choice:
“I definitely think this is a controversial topic, and I don’t want to lose listeners because of my opinion — but, I did vaccinate Isaac, because to me, I didn’t know any better, and I gave — I let them vaccinate him with whatever they basically said that he needed. And I feel like I was ignorant, and didn’t do research, and didn’t know any better.
With Lincoln, I knew a little bit more, and I started to research more, and that’s when I think the conversations of vaccines started to really be going on with me and my friends that became moms. And there were documentaries on Netflix, and all kinds of, just, news that I would try to look into. Lincoln did not get all of his vaccines. I definitely picked and chose which ones I felt like were necessary, and he did not get them all at once. So, he did one or two vaccines at a time. And again, those were the ones that I felt that he needed.
Lux is 18 months and he is not vaccinated. He hasn’t ever really been sick, and for me, I just think the more research that I do, and the more educated I’ve become, I just don’t vaccinate him. So, that’s my opinion, and I don’t judge Lindsie if she chooses to vaccinate, or anyone else who chooses to vaccinate — that’s your prerogative. You’re a parent, you know what’s best for your child, and I’m not here to judge.”
On the show, Kailyn even revealed she refuses to even let her ex-husband Javi Marroquin give their son Lincoln a flu vaccine.
She said, “[Javi] texted me asking me how I felt about Lincoln getting a flu shot because I guess he told me that Lauren is a big believer in vaccines. So, I said ‘Whatever you guys choose to do with your son is fine, but my son’s not getting the flu vaccine.’”
Kail stirred up this discussion among her fans yet again by sharing anti-vax rhetoric on her Instagram story.
“Aluminium safe limit set by FDA: 25MCG. Vaccine delivery of aluminum by 18 months: 4,925MCG. How is this safe?”
Fans questioned this “fact,” but the controversy quickly subsided as it usually does…until this weekend! Kailyn reposted an image from the Instagram account @thetruthaboutvaccines which featured a picture of Anne Frank, a young girl who was a victim of the Holocaust.
The text above the image read, “The law is not a moral compass." “The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it,” read the text superimposed on the picture.
“We speak out now or hide later,” read the caption on the original post.
A fan on reddit reshared the story, and fans were less than pleased with it.
“Yiiiiiikes that is an extremely cringe-worthy comparison! You can believe whatever you want. Fine,” one user wrote. “But if you’re that confident in what you believe in, you don’t use something like that to justify yourself. Chill out, Kail.”
“This is disgusting, an insult to the memory of millions of people who were murdered,” wrote another.
“I think it's offensive both to Holocaust victims AND people who died from diseases vaccines eradicated!” a third commented responded.
A major issue with this post altogether is that Anne Frank, although died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, was not murdered in the camp. The young girl, along with her sister Margot, died of illness. Numerous diseases, including typhoid fever, were spreading rapidly throughout the camp and victims were not treated for the illnesses.
“Anne Frank, her sister Margot and hundreds of thousands of others died of Tyfus [sic] and Typhoid fever (among other things like starvation),” commented a reddit fan.
“Typhoid fever has a vaccine, typhus has one - but it's not commercially available,” another user followed.
The backlash to this (highly insensitive) post is unlikely to deter Kail from her beliefs, but it is important to know that a) vaccinations are not genocidal action and b) Anne Frank died of illness, which is exactly what vaccines have been invented to prevent. To compare the two is ridiculous.
