Don’t ~Mess~ With Leah Messer! Every Time the ‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Clapped Back at Criticism

Don’t Come for Her Baby

Leah quickly defended her youngest daughter, Addie, when a fan criticized the little girl’s behavior on the December 15, 2020 episode of Teen Mom 2. During the scene, Addie said “No” when a producer asked her nicely to please take her gum off of her mic pack. She refused when she was asked a second time, and that’s when Leah stepped in to scold her daughter.

“That’s just pitiful she behaves like this,” a Twitter user wrote. Leah responded, “Just to be clear: Addie did not intentionally put the gum on the mic. She had it on a wrapper and sat the mic down on it. For crying out loud, she was 6.”

No Hate Zone

Leah shared a set of adorable selfies with her daughter Ali in May 2020. It seemed like trolls were criticizing her little girl, who has Titin’s muscular dystrophy, in the comments of the post. Not one to back down, Leah took to Twitter to address the trolls head-on.

“Some of the comments on a photo of me with Ali are despicable,” Leah tweeted. “I’m sickened. [expressionless face emoji] What world are we living and raising our children in? [downcast face with sweat emoji] Let’s teach all of our kids that we are each born with unique differences that make us the beautiful individuals we are!!!”

It seemed like the mom of three deleted the rude comments after sending a strong message to the haters. She followed up her first tweet with a positive message. “We are all different and that is BEAUTIFUL!” she wrote, adding folded hands, fire, sparkles and flower emojis.

Second Chances

Leah defended her mom in the comments on Instagram after someone said they were “surprised” she still has a good relationship with her. In her upcoming memoir Hope, Grace & Faith, the starlet describes a night from her teen years in which her mother, Dawn Spears, pressured her into having sex with someone she barely knew, according to an excerpt obtained by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.

“We have an even better relationship than I ever thought was possible!” Leah shared in April 2020. “I am beyond grateful for my family.” In a separate comment, she explained, “My mom lived in a domestic violence shelter a few times growing up. My mom did her best with what she was taught. I love my mom and always will! People are easy to throw the first stone, but little do they know … I’ll continue to take a stand for my family and be that support for others overcoming adversity.”

Photoshop Police

Leah was put in the hot seat after posting a photo with her sister, Victoria, from their trip to Costa Rica. “This journey = 1 in a million,” she captioned the snap. Unfortunately, some of her followers only took notice of what they thought was a total editing fail.

“God the Photoshopping is horrible! Why even bother? I’m sure tons of people saw you in person on the trip,” one person wrote. Although there were plenty of comments, it was this one that got Leah talking. “WTF you people are f–king RUDE! #nophotoshop,” she clapped back.

* Insert Clapping Emoji *

The reality star went after a mom-shamer who claimed that “if it wasn’t for MTV, she’d be sliding down a pole,” and her reply was pure gold.

“That’s a good oneeeee but clearly you don’t know s–t about me or the life I lived as a child,” she wrote with several laughing emoji and a peace sign. “Bioooootch. Get off my page.” Burn!

So Cheeky

Leah was accused of getting cheek fillers after posting a sweet photo with her three daughters in May 2019. The Teen Mom veteran was flooded with comments about her “new look,” and many speculated that she underwent a cosmetic procedure to enhance her appearance.

After hearing the rumors, she defended, “Along with a blast from the past over the last 10 years that shows just how much I have transformed into the healthiest, best version of myself.” She continued, “It’s called taking better care of yourself, loving yourself and embracing yourself for who you are! I’m a completely different person on the inside and it radiates on the outside, people.”

Baby on Board?

When someone bluntly asked, “Is Leah pregnant again?” on a photo of Addie, she immediately shut down speculation, simply writing, “Hell. No.” Several fans got a kick out of her bold response and one laughed, “You stopped that rumor dead in its tracks.”

#SorryNotSorry

Fans slammed Kailyn Lowry‘s BFF for allowing Aleeah, a.k.a. Gracie, to wear makeup while cheerleading. “It’s that time of year again?!” she asked followers while showing photos of her mini-me rocking an impressive smokey eye. “#Cheerseason #aleeahgrace #aaa #mygrace #famous #superstars #cheerleading #nonegativity,” she captioned the adorable snaps. “YES, SHE’S WEARING MAKEUP. Bye???”

“ROFL”

Back in 2017, one hateful “fan” came for the mom of three in her Twitter comments, accusing Leah of abusing drugs. “I hate how now Leah Messer acts like her s–t don’t stink, bitch was a hardcore drug addict just last season.” Another commenter wrote that they “hate” the way MTV “allows her [to] be so fake.”

Understandably, she did not stand for any of this. She tweeted back, “Lol. You guys don’t know anything. I can’t help but ROFL.”
