Leah Messer

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.

Social media is a funny thing.

In some ways, it's brought us closer together, but in others, it's left us more isolated than ever.

Leah Messer knows what you're saying about her.

She knows what you're wondering.

It's been an eventful year for Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer. 

Beginning with the publication of her memoir in 2020, Leah gained a whole new fan base made up largely of folks who admire her strength in overcoming a difficult past, as well as her candor in telling the world about it.

For Leah Messer, one can never say never when it comes to having more kids.

But it's pretty clear that the Teen Mom 2 star can say the following when it comes to expanding her immediate family:

Leah Messer took a girls' trip to Nashville over this past weekend.

She needed a break, we get it.

Earlier this year, Leah Messer published a memoir that offered surprising new insights into the struggles she's faced over the years.

Leah opened up like never before about her abusive childhood, her battle with addiction, and her two divorces.

We're all happy to see 2020 come to an end, but Leah Messer is probably even more grateful than most to be welcoming a new year.

The past 12 months held many ups and downs for Leah, and she's likely hoping that her next trip around the sun will be considerably less dramatic.

It's been quite a past few months on television for Leah Messer.

Or, to be more specific and accurate, it's been quite a past in general for Leah Messer... we've just seen her talk about it a lot on the most recent season of Teen Mom 2.

Leah Messer has three daughters, and one of them has a bit of a bad reputation.

And if you've been watching Teen Mom 2 for the past few years, then you probably know who we're talking about.

Any former addict knows that atonement is an important part of the process of getting and staying sober.

And so, as Leah Messer attempts to correct the damage she did during her addiction to opioids, she's been issuing face-to-face apologies to the people who were hurt by her actions.

When Leah Messer's memoir was released in May of 2020, the Teen Mom 2 star was widely applauded for opening up about painful issues, including her long history with substance abuse.

Unfortunately, in the years leading up to the book, she wasn't quite so honest about her addiction.

At this point, Leah Messer has been in the spotlight for well over a decade.

So she knows how to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous commenters and all the vile hatred they have to spew.
