From talking about their co-stars to talking about their sobriety, 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 OG 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…
Ashley Jones Says Last Time She Called Amber Portwood Out for Being a Bad Mom, Fans Called Her a Bully
Amber’s ‘Teen Mom’ co-stars have recently started to call her out for her poor treatment of her teen daughter, Leah, but Ashley Jones says she called out Amber years ago– and all it got her were threats and being accused by fans of being a bully.
On Saturday, Ashley posted a message to X that many of the show’s fans assumed was pointed at Amber, given that Jade Cline and Cheyenne Floyd had criticized Amber on the most-recent episode for being selfish and not taking accountability for her estranged relationship with Leah. Amber has often claimed that her mental health issues are a reason for her behavior.
“Being a mother means showing up day after day, despite battling your own heartbreak, sickness, anger, depression. Put a smile on your face and SHOW THE F**K UP,” Ashley wrote.
When fans began to comment that the tweet was a “knock” on Amber, Ashley denied it but acknowledged that it was applicable to Amber’s situation.
“I was speaking generally. But yes, Amber should be doing these things as well. Best wishes to Leah,” Ashley wrote.
On Monday, Ashley further addressed the Amber situation, stating that she called out Amber a long time ago, but it resulted in negative responses from Amber and the show’s fans.
“When I called Amber out years ago for being a BAD mother after she said she would ‘mutilate/kill me,’ I was called a mean bully,” Ashley wrote. “So like I said, I’m done with Amber entirely. However, I will always speak on MY REALITY OF being a mother as my BIO DAD is still actively using.”

The incident that Ashley is referring to happened back in 2022 during the filming of Teen Mom Family Reunion Season 2. After Ashley was not permitted to film her Reunion scenes with the other girls (due to being kicked off the season), she spotted vans on-set that contained her co-stars and twerked at the vans. For some reason, Amber– who was in one of the vans– was furious about what Ashley did, and she and called Ashley to let her know it.
On the call— which Ashley later leaked on social media— Amber can be heard screaming at Ashley, cussing her out, threatening to “mutilate her ass” and “f**k her ass up.” Amber also told Ashley to pray that she never sees her again, before promising Ashley that she would get Ashley fired from the next season. (This did not happen, by the way.)
Posting the call garnered a lot of backlash from Amber and Ashley, with many fans commenting that Ashley was being immature or bullying Amber.
(You can listen to the call below but be aware that it contains plenty of “Portwood AF” naughty words.)

Kieffer Delp– Former Boyfriend of Jenelle Evans– Gives Update on His Sobriety
Kieffer Delp, the infamous former booooyfriend of Jenelle Evans, took to social media last week to share with fans that he’s no longer getting HIGH! HIGH! and has seemingly traded his trusty green hoodie for a #1 Dad shirt.
“I’m here I’m clean I’m doin what I gotta do and I just saw my eleven month old daughter take her first steps I was there not in a tent high, not in jail,” Kieffer shared on Facebook last week. “For once I’m where I’m supposed to be doin what I’m supposed to be doin all the way and it really is nice.”
As fans of ‘Teen Mom 2’ likely remember, Kieffer had a long history of drug addiction and legal issues, many of which were drug-related. (He spent 18 months in prison after being convicted of four felonies– including operating a meth lab out of his apartment— back in 2018.) His most-recent trip to the slammer came after pleading guilty to a “Criminal Mischief/Damaging Property” charge that he received six days after his prison release in 2020. Since then, it appears that Kieffer has stayed on the right side of the law.
Kieffer’s positive–- and drug-negative–- update comes more than seven months after his release from the slammer, after which he revealed on X that he was “almost 9 months clean on everything.” This was also around the time that Kieffer shared the news that he had fathered a daughter.
Kieffer had taken to social media in December to share that he was “a year clean” and intended to continue living a life of sobriety.
“I never guessed how absolutely glorious it would be to say the words naaa bro I don’t get high anymore,” he wrote. “It’s so glorious and I cherish every time I get to say it. No excuses drugs are for the birds.”
Farrah Abraham Says She Plans to Have More Kids But Can’t Marry a Guy Who Doesn’t Support Her Comedy Career
Farrah is set to hit the stage at an NYC gentleman’s club later this month to make her stand-up comedy debut (while giving audience members lap dances, as you do). In a new interview, the Backdoor Teen Mom said that she hopes to spawn again someday and get married. However, Farrah stated that the men she recently dated didn’t support her quest to become The Number One Comic In Our Nation, so now she refuses to go out with anyone who doesn’t get behind her new venture.
“I would say, like, my last couple of boyfriends who you know wanted to get married and wanted to do life together, they actually were not supportive of my comedy career,” Farrah told In Touch. “And I just eventually said, ‘Cool. I’m going to just start my comedy career.’
“This is something that I know I need to do,” she continued. “And if guys can’t be down with that, then they’re not the right husband for me. So, I’ve never really been one to settle just to have a family in a life and appease myself.”
Farrah is one of the few ‘Teen Mom’ stars who hasn’t been married and has not had any more kids. (She is the mother of Sophia, who recently turned 16.)
However, The Big F stated that she does plan to reproduce again someday.
“So yeah, whoever I get married to, whoever I do end up having more kids with, that’ll be someone who is very cool, very respectful of women, and super supportive,” she said. “So, yeah, if I find that person, I cannot wait to share that person with the world.”
In 2019, Farrah announced that any guy who wanted to date her had to follow certain rules, which included signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
“I definitely don’t need anyone dating me anymore because I’m famous or I’m a celebrity. I take that really serious now,” Farrah said at the time, adding that any potential gentleman callers must also agree to de-friend any members of the press.
“I definitely know what I’m looking at now when it comes to personalities and behavior and human behavior,” she said at the time. “I don’t take any chances anymore. They sign an NDA. They’re not allowed to call press or other people, be friends with reporters. I take it really serious.”
Over the years, ‘Teen Mom’ fans have witnessed as Farrah’s relationships have bombed both on- and off-camera. One of her longest relationships— which played out on Teen Mom OG– was with Simon Saran.
Before (and after) that, though, Farrah has been caught concocting fake relationships for publicity.
As one does…
In addition to once pretending to be in a relationship with her ‘Backdoor Teen Mom’ p0rno partner, James Deen, Farrah has also purported to be in relationships with at least three men who later claimed they had no idea they were supposedly “in a relationship” with the fired ‘Teen Mom’ star. (This happened most-recently in 2022 with musician Mack Lovat, who went on one date with Farrah and later found out that she had called TMZ to do an interview about their “relationship” after calling the paparazzi to photograph them without Mack’s knowledge.)
Anyway, as The Ashley previously reported, Farrah will be performing “stand-up comedy” (or something resembling it) at the Spearmint Rhino strip club in New York City on March 13.

I’ll give Ashley this, as many issues as she has had- She’s kept it real about the TM cast and has called them out pretty fairly.
as threatening as that was, at least farrah’s smart enough not to get pregnant until she’s actually married and luckily she talks and treats people so horrible that no one’s gonna wanna marry someone like her anyway so 🤷🏻♀️
Farrah can be very unhinged but she was smart enough to not have any more kids and that’s more than you can say of most girls on Teen Mom. Also I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect your partner to support your dreams.
Again, Farrah can be very unhinged but these statements are oddly reasonable for her.
I hate to have to say this, but Farrah actually has it together better than a lot of these other parents. She’s made some odd and questionable choices. Even though Sophia is “goth.” It’s just a form of expression. A lot of kids do this. Farrah seems to be supportive of how Sophia feels and her choices of who she is right now. She’s not swinging machetes or laying around feeling sorry for herself. Harassing adoptive parents. Or any of the ridiculous shit the other “parents” do.
