When your entire life is on display from the time you turn 16 years old, there are bound to be some less than savory things on your record. The cast of Teen Mom has had some of their most embarrassing and inappropriate moments immortalized on national television and across social media.

Victoria opened up about her scandalous pregnancy during the Teen Mom 2 reunion.
She recently got pregnant with a fling that she met during a vacation to Costa Rica!
During the Teen Mom 2 reunion, Victoria and Leah sat down with Dr. Drew and Nessa to spill about the situation. They revealed that Leah will be sponsoring Victoria’s baby daddy so that he can immigrate to the United States and be with Victoria!
