From giving out advice to new soulmates, to giving fans an earache, 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…
Jenelle Evans Warns David Eason’s New Girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole About How He’ll Sink Her Career
Jenelle lashed out a David’s current girlfriend this week on X, but this time she offered David’s new soulmate some words of advice.
Kenleigh—who began dating David last year following his split from Jenelle— took to X this week to complain about a negative review left on her photography business’ Facebook page. Kenleigh stated that the “review” was posted by someone she had never worked with and that it was posted by someone just to inform her future customers that she is dating David, and that he has a history of dog shootin’ and custody losin’ and whatnot.
Although Kenleigh never claimed that it was Jenelle who wrote the review, Jenelle still jumped on social media soon after to declare that she did not write the review. She then insisted that David’s new squeeze is “obsessed” with her.
“Girl you’re OBSESSED with me,” Jenelle wrote. “I don’t have time to be writing fake reviews for your ‘business page.'”
She then gave Kenleigh some insight into how being with David is basically career suicide.
“Maybe if you weren’t dating my ex, that the world hates, it wouldn’t be happening. David ruined lots of opportunities for me too, you’ll learn that soon,” Jenelle wrote.
When Kenleigh denied ever accusing Jenelle of writing the review, Jenelle criticized her for replying to every tweet that Jenelle posted…before going on to reply to basically every tweet Kenleigh posted.
“You reply to every tweet about me,” Jenelle wrote. “You think I’m an idiot? I use to play the same games when I was in my 20s.”
Jenelle— who literally a month ago was replying to every post her ex “August Keen” made about her on social media— then reflected on her own time as David’s soulmate.
“How often do you look back and cringe like, ‘Damn I was hella sprung over this?!’ It’s crazy how we all saw it in real time & you took years to realize it.”
“Don’t remind me. So embarrassing!” Jenelle replied.
Amber Portwood Sings on TikTok Live; Gets to Rip to Shreds
It’s safe to say that Amber sings about as well as she parents her daughter Leah.
The former(?) ‘Teen Mom’ star decided to sing for the masses during (yet another) TikTok Live session earlier this week and…it did not go well.
Amber, determined to prove that she truly is the ‘Teen Mom’ Songbird of Our Generation, used her time on the social media app to show off her vocals. Unfortunately (for Amber and/or our ears), she attempted to sing Celine Dion‘s powerful song “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” which requires a very strong vocal performance.
Amber had herself seated in front of a TV that was playing Celine’s music video for the song (and giving The Ashley major flashback vibes to waking up at 3 a.m. after falling asleep on the couch and seeing an infomercial on TV for the “Ultimate Love Songs” CD collection or something.)
Amber warbles through the first verse, with her voice doing more cracking than Butch on vacation. Her friend Mr. Hoodz cheers her, which makes Amber continue the nightmare fuel of a performance. She then comes to a part in the song that requires some big notes, so she sets herself back and lets it rip…our eardrums.
Amber gets to the final note and fails miserably, then pretends she was just clowning around.
A clip of Amber’s, um, “performance” made its way onto Reddit, where readers were perplexed by what they just heard. Others pointed out that Amber could be making much better use of her time than clocking literally dozens of hours a week on TikTok Live.
“This is such an odd hobby for an adult human,” one person commented.
“No really…like don’t you have to shop for groceries, or vacuum the house,” someone else wrote.
“This is what happens when no one is willing to be honest with you,” another person added.
“Imagine if she put this much effort into being a parent,” someone wrote.
For your listening “enjoyment,” The Ashley is including the clip of Amber’s vocal “performance” below. God speed.
