Leah Messer

With all due respect to Andy Samberg, Leah Messer is now the one who is on a boat.

And she's mighty proud of that fact.

A common complaint about the most recent season of Teen Mom OG is that the episodes lacked for drama.

After all, that's always been a part (a major part, at that) of what has made previous seasons so compelling.

Leah Messer has been through a whole lot in her young life.

As Leah's memoir recently reminded fans, she's survived addiction, two divorces, some brutal custody hearings, and of course, the pressures of fame.

Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry bonded last week over a subject with which both Teen Mom veterans are far more familiar than they'd like to be:

Deadbeat baby daddies.

Leah Messer has experienced many ups and downs over the years, but unlike some of her more notorious Teen Mom co-stars, she was eventually able to conquer her demons.

In 2020, Leah published a memoir in which she revealed surprising new details about her painful past.

Over the course of the past year, Leah Messer has been widely praised for her honesty.

The Teen Mom 2 star has spoken candidly about a number of difficult topics, including her abusive childhood and her struggles with substance abuse.

Leah Messer has always been regarded as one of the most down-to-earth cast members in the Teen Mom franchise.

She never went full-Hollywood like Farrah Abraham or launched a million side projects like Kailyn Lowry.

Even before Jenelle Evans got fired from Teen Mom 2, she wasn't exactly popular with her castmates.

Of course, that's putting it mildly.

Now that Chelsea Houska has quit Teen Mom 2, Leah Messer might be the most popular cast member in the entire franchise.

Of course, she wasn't always so well-liked.

Leah Messer has endured many challenges during her years in the Teen Mom spotlight.

She's survived an abusive childhood, two divorces, struggles with substance abuse, and much more.

Hey, do you have a little time to shed some tears over Teen Mom stuff?

If so, then wow, you're in luck!

Leah Messer has experienced many, many ups and downs during her years in the public eye.

At times, her struggle has been difficult to watch, but fans were rewarded over the past year or two by an inspirational period of growth for Leah.

Leah Messer has come a long way.

There was a time when her story was one of Teen Mom's cautionary tales, but in recent years, Leah has turned things around in admirable fashion.

On a trailer for the new season of MTV's Teen Mom 2, Leah Messer found a lump in her breast and decided to have a biopsy done.

A jarring experience, to say the least.

Leah Messer has experienced her share of ups and downs over the years, but no matter how daunting the challenge, she's always remained committed to her children, and she frequently puts their happiness ahead of her own.

Over the years, her close relationship with her three daughters has remained one of the few wholesome and heartwarming storylines on Teen Mom 2.

The drama never ends in the life of Leah Messer.

Sure, her wilder days might be behind her, but she's still a member of the Teen Mom universe, which means there's sure to be friction pretty much anytime she posts anything on social media.
