Great graphic, but FYI there's a typo, I'm assuming you meant 2014 for the year Alyssa and John got engaged

Derick going full idiot-mode at the end of Jinger and Jeremy´s wedding ceremony.

[wtf-reality]

I just don't know why they do this! Ben did something similar at Jill's wedding, I feel like they mean it to be cute but to me it's just needlessly attention seeking

Amber made it physical but I really believe Gary emotionally abused/manipulated Amber to get her to that point&he knew what to say to press her buttons&he pressed her buttons on purpose cuz he wanted to get her pissed&get a reaction out of her and he succeeded. I could be wrong but as I recall in the particular situation where she hit him he was being pretty aggressive too&had made moves towards her ill father. So it's really not one way they were both doing wrong she just swung first.

They had an incredibly unhealthy relationship, I’ll say that much.

[wtf-reality]

Random point but the phrasing of that anon makes it almost sound like anon is blaming Gary for the abuse, that's classic victim blaming 101. You could criticise Gary for being emotionally abusive without blaming him for being physically abused at the same time

I don't know how David could claim he was not guilty&appeal a guilty verdict&60 day sentence. Jenelle tweeted that David knows the protection order doesn't expire until October 22, 2016&that he'll be applying for visits cuz that is the first day he can. Therefore he knew when he approached&picked up the child in back in March 2016 that the no-contact order was in affect so he knowingly violated the court order of no contact. He is guilty! And her tweets confirmed he knew that when he did it.

She’s such a liar.

[wtf-reality]

What are the odds he won't be allowed visitation? Honestly I'd say his ex and her son are better off without him

[teenmomtruths]

They don't have to prescribe Amber pain meds and if they do she doesn't have to fill the prescription/take any pills. If you have a history of addiction doctors are really careful about what they give you and limit the amount because they don't want to risk your overall health so unless Amber lied to her doctor her previous addiction was probably taken into account when they made her treatment/recovery plan.

Ok, real talk for a second. I have had 2 surgeries under general this year (a colectomy in March due to Crohn’s disease and a d&c a couple of weeks ago.) Both required opiates based pain relief during surgery and the first one I had to be on morphine for a couple of days after.

Neither surgery was elective - they were completely medically necessary or I wouldn’t have opted to have them.

I’m addicted to opiates and I worked really closely with my addiction counsellor and my doctors to ensure that I was as protected as possible while on the drugs, I refused a self-administer morphine pump because I didn’t think it was a good idea for me to have access to the drug whenever I wanted it. It was on every chart that I was an addict on my request. Post surgery my husband knew my request to be tapered off the drugs as quickly as possible and spoke for me when I wasn’t in my right mind. I refused a take home prescription.

Even with all those precautions, my head was haywire for weeks after and I knew I was prone to a full in relapse because I had had the drug in my system. I was really unwell and immobile after the first surgery, and in a bad place mentally after my miscarriage but I knew I needed extra recovery meetings, time with my sponsor and time with my counsellor if I wanted to protect my sobriety. There were days I crawled to them in agony because my recovery is that important to me.

So my point is, why would anyone choose to undergo a non-emergent surgical procedure and put themselves at such high risk if they treasured their sobriety? And I seriously doubt Amber put the same safety nets and support systems in place pre-surgery that I did.

You may just be one of the strongest and amazing people I know. Hope you're doing okay and I wish nothing but the best for you from here on out

[teenmomtruths]

I hope little ensely slides out looking like a mini nathen and Kais twin, everyone keeps talking about how happy jace must be to be getting a sister and how it will make him and msryissa real brother and sister and how the scan looks like jace, poor little kai seems to have been forgotten about by jenelle fans kai will be the one raising the baby and other babys that come along he will be the older brother/parent where as jace will be with babs

How would a new baby make Jace and Maryssa a real brother and sister?

[wtf-reality]

Because they share a sibling?

[lastweekonteenmom-deactivated20]

Wait, I'm out of the loop. Why is Jenelle suing MTV?

So she and David were kicked out of the VMAs on Sunday night because David didn’t have a valid ticket. Jenelle supposedly tried using Barbara’s ticket for David and it didn’t work. Jenelle supposedly threw a huge fit and they were asked to leave.

She went back to her hotel room abs snapped multiple hate pics toward MTV, which were deleted within minutes.

Then only a few hours later, she claimed she had a prescheduled business meeting withher new lawyer. She was quickly proven wrong by a few sources and tried to prove her side by uploading a pic on twitter (which was also immediately deleted) of a text between herself and her new lawyer. The text revealed that he wants Jenelle to sue MTV.

On Monday, her lawyer posted a pic on instagram with hashtags like #killer #defamation #jenelleevans #danger. He went crazy in the comments section and even threatened some people!

[wtf-reality]

Oh my god, I'm going to pretend this is a joke. There is no way in hell Jenelle is going to sue MTV and any lawyer worth their salt would tell her doing so is a waste of time.

Seriously I don't understand it. if a show had given me thousands of dollars purely because I had a baby at 16, I wouldn't be looking a gift horse in the month and throwing tantrums all over snapchat and Instagram.

Jenelle’s new attorney has pretty shady history!

[wtf-reality]

The fact they're having 'business meetings' at night says a lot. Most lawyers don't have introduction meetings in their offices. They'll take their clients out for dinner if they have a big win occasionally

[wtf-reality]

@teenmomtruths - just saw your news on my dash (spent a few days off tumblr) and I know it's kinda late but CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you 😊

[newwavefeminism]

Why do you think there's such thing as gender inequality? We're all equal right now.

I mean… not when you account all the oppression that takes place all over the world.

[wtf-reality]

Ugh comments like this piss me off, when you say "we're all equal now" it feels like what you're really saying is "I've got my equality so fuck everyone else's"

[teenmomtruths]

Do we really think Amber and Matt are still a thing? They co-live together, sure, but they are never attentive or lovey dovey (ugh, I'll hate myself for this forever) on and/or off-camera. And do we know anything else about the wedding? Their relationship is so fishy to me. Like, it feels like they mutually need each other. She needs him to seem more stable on the show so that she can get the 50/50 custody, and he needs her to clean up his image and the shitty past and current present he has.

I doubt him being there really improves her image for custody - it’s actually been the number one hindrance for her getting custody.

[wtf-reality]

Just as aside, not everybody has to act all loved up on camera or publicise their relationship on social media. For all we know they could be very affectionate off the camera

[teenmomtruths]

My heart broke reading the baby announcement from Jenelle. 😭😭💔 Im so scared for this new baby ..🙁

So am I.

[wtf-reality]

I'm kind of more worried for Kaiser, at least Jace has Babs. I'm beginning to take Nathan's proclamations of getting full custody as nothing but hot air, and with Jenelle getting the girl she's always wanted I can see him being neglected even more

[lastweekonteenmom-deactivated20]

I’ll just leave this here…

A+++++ gif usage there ^^

[teenmomblast]

Neither does going to a diploma mill.

[wtf-reality]

What? Giving brain? What on earth does that mean?

[teenmomtruths]

Where could they be going next??! Surely their criminal records would prevent them from going overseas…?

[wtf-reality]

I feel like David is just using Jenelle to get what he wants then leaving her. Isn't he supposedly going to college now? Probably on her dime, then now she's gotten him a passport. I can see him using the baby she's apparently pregnant with as a way to get money from her through child support when they've broken up.

It seems he's using her to pay for all these life experiences that he wants then when he's bored he's off.
