The Ashley does her best to wade through the piles of trash news regarding Teen Mom 2 and its stars but lately there has been an abundance of it! As always, The Ashley holds off on reporting on most stories until she can personally confirm or deny their legitimacy. (Otherwise, she will let y’all know to file it under “rumor.”)
A few weeks ago, The Ashley cleared up some of the ‘Teen Mom 2’ rumors that were floating around, but now it seems that there’s a whole new batch of them to sort through. Since most of the rumors being reported about the show aren’t actually true, The Ashley will now attempt to clear some of them up for you.
Let’s get started!
Rumor #1: Corey and Miranda Simms have quit ‘Teen Mom 2.’
FALSE! This rumor started way back in July when OK! magazine reported it. Since that time, it has continued to be reported by various sites as being true. The Ashley can exclusively tell you that this rumor is totally false! The Ashley’s source tells her that Corey and Miranda have not quit the show, nor did they ever. They will, indeed, be on the upcoming new season of ‘Teen Mom 2’ and are filming for it.
However, it is true that the Simms do not like filming the show.
“Right now they can’t really quit, but they would surely like to leave behind all the drama that the show brings,” The Ashley source tells her.
Rumor #2: Jeremy Calvert quit ‘Teen Mom 2.’
FALSE! Jeremy is still involved in ‘Teen Mom 2.’ Since he is the father of one of Leah’s daughters, he still has a reason to be on the show. In fact, The Ashley hears that Jeremy will be filming with MTV sometimes this week for the upcoming season.
Rumor #3: Jenelle Evans quit ‘Teen Mom 2.’
UNCONFIRMED– SORTA….
Jenelle started this rumor herself when she declared on Twitter a few days ago that she was “done with” ‘Teen Mom 2’ because the producers had allowed her ex, Nathan Griffith, and his new girlfriend to film for the new season. She followed it up with a tweet that insisted that she really was done with the show. (She has since deleted all of these tweets.)
Here’s what The Ashley knows so far about this…
First of all, The Ashley reached out to Jenelle’s manager, Johnny Donovan, for confirmation that Jenelle has, indeed, quit the show. He responded that, “We are not talking about this.”
Hmmm…
The Ashley then reached out to one of her show sources with a wealth of knowledge about how the girls’ contracts work. That source confirmed that Jenelle has been filming for the upcoming season for a while now. The source added that there’s nothing Jenelle could do to have that footage canned.
She has already signed the contract for the new season. However, the source said that Jenelle can refuse to stop filming from this point on.
“[MTV] isn’t going to make her keep doing the show,” the source told The Ashley. “They would continue without her. Legally, anyone can leave at any time. But nobody will because of the money.”
The Ashley’s source told her that if Jenelle quit mid-season, she would definitely not get her full season’s salary, and possibly not be paid at all. (The source wasn’t totally sure on this, as none of the girls have ever actually quit mid-season so MTV has never had to deal with this.)
The source did tell The Ashley that this is likely just a ploy by Jenelle to get Nathan off the show, and possibly get more money from MTV. However, the source believes that MTV will not comply with either of Jenelle’s demands.
“She’s not going to get a raise,” the source said. “That’s not how it works.”
Rumor #4: Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert are back together.
FALSE! This rumor began circulating by a weird site that Jenelle Evans promotes. After Leah and Jeremy attended her daughter Ali’s chorus performance together, this rumor picked up some steam.
The Ashley can confirm that this rumor is totally false. Leah is not back with Jeremy. He attended the performance to exchange custody of Addy with Leah and stayed to watch Ali sing. Leah is currently involved with T.R. Dues and has been for months. She is not dating Jeremy. Rest assured that Jeremy’s little torn piece of paper name badge thing will still identify him as “Leah’s Ex-Husband” when the new season starts!
Rumor #5: Leah Messer is living with T.R. Dues.
TRUE! In fact, from what The Ashley can tell, the couple has lived together for most of the time they’ve been dating. (The Ashley first told you they were living together this spring.) Many fans refused to believe that Leah was already living with a guy, since she denied that she was dating anyone back when she filmed the Season 6 reunion in July. The Ashley recently told you that Leah’s family considers T.R. and his two sons “like family” already. If you need even more proof, click here and here. Leah and T.R. both recently posted Facebook photos of the Christmas tree in their home and–surprise!–it’s the exact same true and living room.
Given that they’ve been living together for months now, it will be nearly impossible for MTV to edit T.R. out of the next season like they did last season. However, those ‘Teen Mom’ editors are pretty much wizards– they can make almost anyone “disappear” from a girl’s life!

of course none of them are leaving, they need the money, none of them have jobs. Chelsea doesn’t have a job either she films at the salon when the cameras come to town the rest of the time she doesn’t even work there. Yes they can leave, but none of them will. They are all boring, if they wouldn’t be on MTV are these interesting people? Can someone enlighten me?? I don’t really watch it anymore, because it’s boring, and I find them all pathetic that they are just there for money. I’m shocked that Kailyn is still married to that little hamster boy Javi.
How do you know Chelsea doesn’t work at the salon? Even if she doesn’t, she has her license so she has something to fall back on. Chelsea is the best of the bunch out of these girls. I have nothing bad to say about her, unlike the rest where there isn’t a lot of good things to say about them.
They can’t be too boring since you seem to watch them and know a lot about them.
So in response to the comments below (apparently I can’t respond anymore).
Regardless who it is – child support takes a certain percentage from the ex’s income (no matter who you are or how much you make.) They don’t cater child support for each individual person.
With that said – I imagine Jeremy’s income must be pretty high if they are taking that much out of his paycheck.
And let’s get something straight – Neither Jeremy nor Leah are angles – in fact they are both pretty stupid if you look at the facts. They both procreated.
Seriously. They’re both rather obtuse ^_^
Is it just me or does Leah/TR’s “living room” look exactly like a hotel room…look at all the furnishings and carpet/walls…something odd about it all. Definitely does not have Leah’s lack of decorating skills…
Not throwing shade on anyone or their living, but it’s a mobile home.
Rumor also has it that Leah lost custody of addi please tell me this is true
I haven’t heard that but I can’t see that happening because Jeremy travels too much for his work so I don’t think he’d get custody of Adi unless Leah has a nervous breakdown or something. You’d think that incident when the cop found her wondering off by herself would be enough for him to get custody of her but I guess it’s not. Jeremy doesn’t seem like he’s invested in being a father as much as Corey is.
they should put under Jeremy’s name ‘Leah’s other ex-husband’ as he’s exactly that.
LOL that would be amazing
And if T.R. Dues is indeed feqtured in the next season, his “name tag” thingy should obviously read: “Leah’s Future 3rd Ex-Husband & Baby Daddy”.
Ex husband number 2 and counting.
You know she’s not done. She’ll have 3 ex husbands, be working on landing the 4th and have 5 kids by the time she’s 30.
Bahahaha the cmment who said Jeremys name tag should say -ex husband #2 & counting made me die laughing! that would be funny! Lmfao I love it
At least Leah looks like she cleaned her house…?
Or TR did
It looks like one of those extended stay motels.
Since Jeremy has to pay a whopping 1700 a month for child support (I’m sorry, that’s a ridiculous amount) he probably needs all the extra cash he can get.
It’s based on his salary. I would say he brings in quite a bit of money if that’s what he’s paying her.
But he works for his money,the only thing Leah is does is collect.I think he pay an unreasonably high amount.And Leah do not get stimulated to go find a job ever.
I never said child support was fair but it is what it is…they take a certain percentage from the ex to care for the child. Hopefully she is using it correctly
I never said child support was fair but it is what it is…they take a certain percentage from the ex to care for the child. Hopefully she is using it correctly.
And I don’t feel bad for Jeremy for one second. If you choose to Have a child, be expected for the unexpected and be expected to care for that child financially
But one child costs not so much per month.That he pays for his daughter is absolutly normal,but why should he pay for the entire family?.Our month income is about close to 1700 and we are doing fine,so that’s why i am sayin that is unreasonly high for one child.
I wish I had $1,700 to spend on myself a month… I don’t even bring in close to that. I’m not saying she should have to raise her child with the bare minimum if the father can afford more. HOWEVER, I REALLLLLY hope that at least 50% of that is going into savings for medical bills, emergencies and college. NO WAY that a 2-3 year old costs almost $2,000…
How about Farrah and her allegedly joining the charges against James deen?
I don’t think the Ashley can confirm rape!
Oh are there others who are suing James Dean for rape? I hadn’t heard about that yet.
Farrah is from Teen Mom OG not Teen Mom 2. This was only rumors regarding Teen Mom 2.
Oh yeah. Sorry! I got them mixed up for a moment. My B.
MONKEY
I do believe it is “well freakin monkey”!!!
