Leah Messer’s mother addresses In Touch cover story accusing Corey Simms of being a bad father

ByAsa Hawks

The second season of Teen Mom 2 premiered last week to the highest premiere ratings of any premiere in either of the Teen Mom franchises with 4.15 million viewers. The high numbers didn’t go unnoticed by the tabloids, who have once again cranked up their coverage of the four young moms, including an In Touch cover story on Leah and Jenelle with the headline “Teen Mom Shockers: Shotgun Wedding & Prison Baby!”

As you might imagine, the story is purportedly full of inaccuracies and Leah Messer’s outspoken mother took to Facebook to lambaste the tabloid for it’s portrayal of Corey Simms as a bad dad after he was absent for his twin daughters’ second birthday party. Keep reading for the Momma Dawn smackdown as well as an explanation of the “prison baby” Jenelle story.

ByAsa Hawks

A&E promotes their Storage Wars superstar couple of Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante as a “husband and wife team of underdogs,” and just watching 30 seconds of the two bickering and fuming would seem to all but prove the two are stuck together until death does them part. But are they really married? The answer may surprise you!

(I’m not sure what kind of suspense I was going for there – it’s probably pretty obvious what the answer is. Or is it? Yes, it is.)

Even without the suspense, Brandi’s lockers beckon you in!
