Why did Kail bail Jenelle out of jail ? When ?
27: number of pets abandoned by Jenelle and her soulmates
I think it would be interesting to see how many Teen Mom’s were actually 16 when their episode of “16 and Pregnant” aired. I don’t think it will be many. So Amber was closer to 20 when Leah was born….
Great job, Ashley! Don’t forget # OF CAST MEMBER’S ARRESTS next time!
Took the words out of my mouth!
Also interested in the number of “blended families” jenelle has created and left. Not only has jace had countless “dads” but step siblings too?
11 and 10? That can’t be right. Leah had two kids with Corey and Maci had two kids with Taylor. So there should be a difference of two between the number of children and fathers.
Unless…. Ashley, do tell us, which one is Ryan’s ;-)!
Darn.. still short of a baby daddy in that case.
Maci is in Teen Mom OG, not in Teen Mom 2.
@Trash: To clarify: TMOG baby daddies are: Ryan, Taylor, Derek, Gary and Tyler (5) and there are 7 kids/ TM2 baby daddies are: Jo, Javi, Kail’s mystery man, Andrew, Nathan, David, Corey, Jeremy, Adam and Cole (10) and there are 11 kids. -The Ashley
Wait, when did Kailyn bail Jenelle out of jail? I need details!
Think that was when she got arrested with Kiefah for giving themselves entry to someone’s cabin and the police found drugs and drug related items there.
Babs and her friends wouldn’t or could not bail her out. She called everyone she knew.
32. number of times I’ve thrown up in my mouth watching TM.
Hi The Ashley! I tought I read somewhere that Farrah had a tattoo that says Mom, in her own honor?
She does! I had forgotten about that, its on her ankle.
That wasn’t real, just a temporary tattoo for insta.
So only Farrah and Amber haven’t had a second child yet. We know Farrah is career oriented so I just don’t see that on her mind (maybe before she’s 40 and maybe even with a donor) but Amber will get knocked up sooner than later if she doesn’t leave that deadbeat. Honestly she pisses me off so much, so many warning sings and she sees none of them!
I don’t think Farrah never had a second child because of her career. Nobody wants to be her next baby daddy and the adoption agency probably turned her down too. We never heard from the adoption plans again.
Ha ha! Farrah hasn’t had a second child because she’s career oriented No,its because no man is stupid or desperate enough to be attached to Farrah for the rest of their life! Farrah is “career oriented” because she has no personal life. Oh and when your career is selling porns of yourself, molds of your privates and abusing people on reality TV you should really re-evaluate.
Did everyone see the picture from their Farrah free vacation?! Matts hands were oddly placed on ambers belly.
Isn’t it still technically a child out of wedlock if a mother is already pregnant when she’s getting married? Both Chelsea and Kail were pregnant when they were getting married. I’m not sure about Leah.
I don’t think it makes much of a difference, but it’s a bit weird how they all have children before they get married.
No. To me if you conceive outside of wedlock but still have the baby after you’re married, it’s a child in wedlock. A lot of couples have “shotgun weddings” because of that.
Plus Kail was already married before they did the wedding for the show. She and Javi had a courthouse ceremony.
No I have wondered that, too. Have any of the TM children been conceived while the parents were married? Not sure about Addie?
11 kids by 10 daddy’sand 4 gals… and then I realized… there are a set of twins in play! Jesus God! Trust, I’m legitimately probably the worlds least judgmental bitch (as far as judgmental bitches go)… but don’t those numbers make everyone a lil sad?
“176 Number of dollars it costs to buy one of Farrah’s vibrating butt sex toys off of her website”
???
Welp, time to cancel this. None of those numbers are inspiring. In fact, they are an insult to what they are supposed to represent.
Time for these girls to grow up, get jobs, and stop sucking off of MTV’s teet. The real world will eat them alive.
Eleven kids by ten different dads! The Teen Mom girls blow my mind. Those poor, poor kids– most of them growing up without their dad in their home. It makes such a huge difference! The only kids who are going to probably be okay are Chelsea’s kids. The rest are in my prayers.
And the reason two kids have the same dad is……they’re twins. So does that even count?
Chelsea has a skull tattoo?
Ashley very interesting, I would like to know what the ratings are for each season of each show! They are down, because they have to pay people to sit in the audience of the Teen Mom live shows!
wikipedia teen mom or teen mom 2 and they show all the ratings for every show.. xox
I wonder how the MTV teen moms do compared to the average teen moms. Number of kids, fathers, education, income, etc
I though Farrah had a tattoo that said “Mom” to symbolize what a great mother she is?
I’m pretty sure I heard that too
I heard that too and one site even showed the picture of it.
Yeah, unless it was fake I thought Farrah got a heart that said mom in honor of herself on her ankle… I guess she could have had it removed by now as frequently as she alters her appearance.
@Leighroda: That was a fake tattoo! -The Ashley
Thank god!
Kailyn bailed Jenelle out of jail??
Which time? ?
