From admitting to being shady on-camera, to (seemingly) shading your grandson’s mom, it’s been a busy week for the stars/former stars of the Teen Mom franchise! In an effort to bring you up-to-date on the latest Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile.
Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…
Doris Davidson Talks About “Vengeance” In Facebook Sermon Seemingly Aimed at Jenelle Evans
Doris hit Facebook this week to deliver a sermon all about “vengeance”— something the ‘Teen Mom 2’ grandma says she knows a little something about, thanks to recent events in her life.
Doris— who is the mother of Jenelle’s baby daddy Nathan Griffith— frequently posts Bible chats and religious sermons on her Facebook page, but her most-recent video seemed to be addressing Jenelle’s actions and the accusations she recently made about Doris.
As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle took her son Kaiser to Doris’ Tennessee home last month, with plans for him to stay with his grandma “indefinitely.” After a few weeks, though, Jenelle scurried to Tennessee and yanked Kaiser from Doris’ home and brought him back to Las Vegas, due to the online backlash she was getting for her decision to leave Kaiser. Jenelle’s manager-turned-booooyfriend “Augusst Keen” later publicly accused Doris of doing some unsavory things, including “spreading gossip” about Kaiser “across the Internet.” Jenelle stated that she snatched Kaiser back from Doris because Doris had broken her “trust.”
During her sermon this week, Doris acknowledged that she has been persecuted by a certain person recently. (She does not mention Jenelle by name, however.)
“These last few weeks, I’ve been through some major persecution,” Doris tells her followers in the video. “But I try to smile and go on. I pray for the ones that have hurt me. I said, ‘If God comes into their lives, if God enters their souls then, you know, that’s all I want. That would be my desire because I know they’ll be a changed person and I know they’ll live a much more content life, and not be so nasty to people. That would be my prayer for them.”
Doris mentions that, over the past few weeks (which is the same timeframe that “August” and Jenelle have publicly been slamming her), she’s had to stop herself from responding.
“Sometimes it gets hard…sometimes we have just got to hold our tongues. The last couple of weeks, I’ve had to just bite my tongue, because I wanted to say or do something that was not becoming of me, or was not becoming of God,” she says. “We’ve got to keep our peace and learn to pray for those people and know that they don’t have God inside of them. If they’re attacking you and persecuting you, they’re lacking the spirituality of God. And we do need to pray for them and pray that their soul will be saved.”
Doris then spoke about the person who has wronged her in the last few weeks.
“I’ve had them cuss me, call me every name in the book,” Doris said.
“And what I haven’t done, not one single solitary thing to them, and I’ve said to them, ‘You know, you’ve gone over that line. I’m placing you in the hands of God.
“…I was told recently that I did something that I absolutely did not do, haven’t done, will not do. And I got accused of it, and it hurt,” she continued. “I wanted to get on social media and say, ‘This is a lie, this is not true,’ but I’m not going to. That’s not me. I’m not going to partake in it. I think it’s silliness, I think it’s foolishness, and if that person looks at me and says that I’ve done something that I haven’t done, well, then I put you in God’s hands. God will deal with you accordingly.”
Doris added that she’s tired from dealing with the mystery person’s constant drama.
“I just give it up to God, and say, ‘God, you take care of this situation,” she said. ” I don’t have the time, or I don’t have the energy to deal with it.’”
Cory Wharton Admits He & Cheyenne Floyd Were Instructed to “Pretend” to Fight for ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’
On the most-recent season of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,’ Cory and his baby mama Cheyenne got into a fight about where their daughter Ryder would spend Christmas. At the time the episode aired, many fans expressed that the disagreement felt “set up” and “fake.” In a recent video posted to Snapchat, Cory admitted that the fight was, indeed, just for the cameras.
He also revealed that he and Cheyenne were instructed to “fight” about something for the show.
In the episode— which aired in June— Cheyenne gets mad when Cory informs her that he has booked tickets for his family– including Ryder— to spend Christmas with his relatives in Michigan. The two “bicker” about the situation and Cheyenne kindly kicks Cory out of her house.
According to Cory, though, that scene was a phony.
“Me and Cheyenne talk about all the holidays,” he said while live on Snapchat. “We make sure to go over everything. Can I keep it real with y’all? Real quick, I gotta do this: I don’t know if I’m going to get in trouble.
“But that scene on ‘Teen Mom’ last season of me not telling Cheyenne about Christmas was a lie. That was a lie! Of course I talked to Cheyenne months before. I didn’t just book a flight and not tell her about it.”
Cory said, despite the situation being fake, he agreed to pretend for the show…and the paycheck.
“But I took the bullet for that because I thought about the bigger scheme,” he said. “It’s all about the bigger, grand plan. We needed an argument, so it’s not a complete lie but we just fabricate it a little bit.”

Ryan Edwards’ Pregnant Girlfriend Amanda Conner Dresses Up as Mackenzie Edwards After Mackenzie Sues Ryan for Back Child Support
Amanda Conner, the pregnant girlfriend of ‘Teen Mom’ dad Ryan Edwards, took TikTok trolling to a new (and trashier) level this week when she posted a video of herself seemingly dressed as Ryan’s soon-to-be-ex-wife Mackenzie Edwards for Halloween.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Ryan and Mack– who share son Jagger, 6, and daughter Stella, 4– are in the midst of a nasty divorce and custody battle. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Mack is suing Ryan for back child support that she claims Ryan “refuses” to pay, despite him reportedly earning more than $18,000 a month.
Presumably in response to Mack’s recent legal move, Amanda took to TikTok on Halloween wearing a pair of blue medical scrubs– similar to those worn by Mack, who works in the medical field– while dancing along to Rihanna’s “B***h Better Have My Money.”
Amanda also made a point to use some props in her TikTok, including cash and a stack of folders– one of which that was clearly labeled “screenshots.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Mack accused Ryan last month of not helping her to support their children. While this still appears to be the case, Amanda surprisingly (and rather confusingly) received a large amount of support in the comment section of her latest TikTok for “winning the Internet” and “being iconic” with her Mack costume.
“You’ve made me realize I need to step up my petty game cause the bar is now in hell thanks to you and I love that,” one person wrote.
“YEEES!! Mack don’t stand a chance with Amanda,” another added.
Check out Amanda’s (allegedly) “savage” TikTok below.

Mackenzie McKee Sets Wedding Date & Gives Update on Her Kids’ Relationships with Their Dad Josh
Mackenzie McKee took to Instagram this week for a Q&A with fans, during which she revealed that she and fiancé Khesanio Hall are planning to tie the knot at the end of next year.
Viewers watched on the latest season of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ as Khessy surprised Mack with a beachside proposal. In June, the couple revealed that they had begun the IVF process in the hope of welcoming their first child together.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans may remember, Mackenzie had her tubes tied after welcoming three children– sons Gannon and Broncs and daughter Jaxie– with ex-husband, Josh McKee, and dealing with high-risk pregnancies associated with her having diabetes.
During her Q&A, Mackenzie was also asked about her kids’ relationship with their father, who has been mostly absent from the children lives since he and Mackenzie split.
“I raise them full time!” Mackenzie said this week of her and Josh’s three children. “[Josh and I] don’t speak! But the kids have cell phones and they each have the freedom of making that relationship what they want it to be!
“But there is nothing but peace and love in all of it,” she added.
Mackenzie has consistently praised Khessy for stepping up as a father in Josh’s absence and previously revealed that she even plans to give her kids the option to change their last names from “McKee” to “Hall” once she and Khessy walk down the aisle.
Earlier this year, Mackenzie also shared that Josh has given Khessy props for “doing a really good job raising these kids.”

They ALL seem to forget (which clearly shows how immature these ‘adults’ are-ALL OF THEM) that there ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED…this is NOT about how y’all feel towards each other-put that shit on the back-burner & grow up & do what NEEDSto be done FOR ALL THESE KIDS. At some point ALL if the kids will be able to read & the internet not going anywhere. Y’all live & do the exact opposite of what parenting, co-parenting & ADULTING really is…STOP BEING NARCISSISTS AND PUT THESE KIDS 1ST, ALL OF THEM-Bentley, Hudson, Jayde, Maverick, Jagger, Stella, the son Amanda lost rights to, the unborn lil one & if the mysterious 5th child of Ryan’s exists…it beyond time for y’all to grow up-Ryan, Amanda, Macy, Taylor, MacKenzie, Jen, Larry 🤬
I do NOT like Mackenzie at all but anyone that supports what Amanda does toward her is just as messy as she is. There are two LITTLE kids involved in this mess, and per Amanda’s history with her own kid (who is god knows where), she has ZERO ROOM to speak on this subject. She would get a lot more respect if she stfu and kept her peace. But she can’t help herself. Messy and trashy.
Yeah not a fan of Mack, but come on! Ryan doesn’t support his kids & now Amanda thinks this is okay? She Doesn’t take care of her own kid though so I guess she thinks it is fine to abandon your kid.
*Most of the “support” Amanda gets on social media is from bought bot accounts, they aren’t real people. It’s literally a program designed to create a multitude of fake profiles (super easy to create, even easier to implement) that seem like real ones, they even sometimes have pictures and posts of their own. Those accounts then get bought by who knows how many people as “followers” and “subscribers”. The interactions they put out there on social media are 100% computer generated, usually using context to generate content, often missing the mark. Sometimes they have the exact same phrasing or typos, because the person who wrote them didn’t proofread or has a low grasp on the English language since it’s not their native language (not a knock, just true). The same goes for a large majority of “famous” people on the internet (real famous, fake famous, only famous in certain circles, etc). It’s a really common practice that started way back in the early days of IRC, message boards, BB, blogs, and eventually morphed into what it is today. It used to be big money, but today, meh, peanuts.
It’s super cheap to buy these services. You can look it up for yourself, there are a TON of them out there, fastpromo it’s not even $6 for 200 instant followers, lol. Give me boost, viralHQ, buzzoid, viralyft, soocial rush, sidesmedia, buzzvoice, twicsy, likester, instafollowers.. I mean, really, the list is endless, there are thousands of them. Many of them you can buy just names to comment and engage with people on your stuff. All of the sm platforms say they frown upon this and it goes against the rules but not a single one will actually do anything if you get reported doing it. No one actually cares, it would lose them advertising money if they did.
This has nothing to do with Amanda being a trash person-because she is- just explaining the “support” people think she’s getting, she’s not really, most of it is just fake content engagement.
Cory says he lied “for the bigger picture” aka “keep the MTV money train coming and not getting a real job”.
Amanda is the very definition of trash: she doesn’t have custody of her own kid but tries to mock the woman that’s raising her boyfriend’s kids by herself after he trashed their home and kids’ belongings. I hope karma comes her way.
Mackenzie’s youngest son, (the one that pooped in the garage), looks like a feral tornado…..
…”know that they don’t have God inside of them”…-Doris
Biblical insults are some of my favorite insults to read. Doris seems very angry, rightfully so. She seems like the only stable and loving home for Kaiser.
Ryan, Amanda, & Mack are all trash.
Amanda needs to stop the bullshit. Grow up and act like she has a little class & sense. I’ll say this- at least Mack has a job.
Ryan- pay the child support you owe. It doesn’t matter if you like your ex or not, you owe that to those kids.
Mack- stop being fucking petty & keep the snide comments to yourself. I don’t think anybody feels sorry for you because you knew what Ryan was & decided to procreate with him anyway.
Wrong, many people do feel sorry for her on Reddit.
DV is never okay and the kids need to be safe.
Oh so Mack deserved to have her house trashed and her kids traumatised because she new he was an arsehole already? Do you often blame the victim?
Omg it’s hilarious I have to say this for the smooth-brained ones who only have the comeback of the domestic violence situation- obviously I don’t condone what Ryan did to Mackenzie. I’m speaking about the issue she’s having with him as far as not receiving child support and her accusations of him not being a present father, because she KNEW he was that type of person when she decided to marry him. Forget the fact he was high off his ass & focus on the fact SHE KNEW HE WAS A DEADBEAT WHEN SHE MARRIED HIM.
Hope this clarifies my comment.
DV is never okay. Mackenzie knew EXACTLY what she was getting into and willingly chose to bring multiple children into a storm. She is no better than Amanda, they both saw dollar signs and will pay the price. No sympathy for them, just the kids.
Yep. Mack was in the wrong at the beginning of the relationshit. No doubt.
She’s not the bad guy here.
Ryan is.
And now this Amanda person is, bc she wants to be.
Doris, keep strong. If God is handling this, then let him handle it and you work on getting that baby back to safety.
You’re legit his only shot at life right now.
Keep talking dumbass. Talk you and your ahole ex right out of a job. You’re all dead weight anyways.
I pray to god ‘relationshit’ is not a typo, that is an amazing word
Oh no. It’s definitely an apt descriptor, and not a typo lol.
I knew the fight between Cheyenne and Corey wasn’t real the second I saw that. I know TLC type shows do this and was disappointed in seeing this. They seem to co-parent very well but that is not saying a whole lot on this show. Mackenzie and Khessy seem very happy. Seeing Khessy ask her father to marry was pretty cool.
In the real world, if those screen shots exist, then that will play out in court. Also in the real world, his children will see that. Hate his ex all you’d like, but if she is raising his babies full time then maybe you should reread the room. She is choosing to be messy at the expense of real relationships.
Side note: She always has a smug sneer on her face… It’s off putting.
I really like Doris and I pray Kaiser ends up with her soon.
Cory is going to lose that cushy “job” if he doesn’t learn to keep his mouth shut about to fakeness.
Amanda is pure trash. How embarrassing to dress up as your man’s ex and make fun of the fact that he’s a deadbeat. I don’t see how anybody thinks that’s a win.
I hope Khesanio continues to be good to Mackenzie and especially the kids. Josh ought to be ashamed of himself.
How embarrassing for Amanda. She doesn’t seem like someone who is committed to being a healthy, sober person. Pretty pathetic that this is how she is spending her “second chance at motherhood.”
There is so little chance that poor baby will grow up in a healthy, stable environment when the baby stays with her.
She doesn’t even care enough about both her kids. She’s acting so bizare, that it could make a judge wonder whether CPS, or another party, is probably right that she’s not fit to parent. Being petty before parenting. Good priorities.
Also why is she making such digs at Mackenzie?! Does she think she won a prize with Ryan or something?! She prob thinks she’s jealous that she now will breed with this deadbeat who scared the sh*t out of his own kids when he trashed the house and assaulted their mother. But Mack is moving on. She just wants that he pays for the kids he ALREADY HAS. Not uhm, “fourth chance of fatherhood”.
And I’m sure Amanda will blame Mack for the lack of relationship with their new step-mom. Because this is exactly what I would want my kids to be around! Someone who mocks my mother, talks bs about her to the world & makes fun of her, I wouldn’t want anything to do with her either
Exactly! Amanda’s post is “Exhibit A” material for never letting the kids around her.
If I were in an Amanda’s shoes, and thank god I’m not, I’d be doing everything I could to set myself up for independence when shit goes downhill. I’d be keeping my mouth shut, staying off social media, & working on myself. These grown-ass women slinging insults at one another is SO fucking cringe, because both of them have done the SAME THING- procreate with a drug-addict and boring his children. Neither of them are better than the other.
