It seems like just yesterday that Farah Abraham was going out shopping her sex tape with her dad and her kid in tow for moral support after humiliating herself on Dr. Phil swearing it was her private video. Maybe it was, because all this Teen Mom crazy is running together for me. I didn’t really cover Teen Mom until the Dr. Phil debacle. Previously, I’d just checking in from time to time at Reality Tea for their awesome and timely updates. But frankly, I think someone is going to die sooner than later so I may as well add the category because when reality people do stupid things that cause their death, it’s sort of website gold.
It sounds like Jenelle and her husband Courtland Rogers paused their plans to adopt a child to feed their heroin addictions (wait, didn’t Janelle just tell us she was clean and didn’t have any addiction problems?) and get into a knock down drag out fight in which they both tried to kill each other. The cops arrived before either could complete their attacks and so now we are paying for 3 hots and a cot for the two of them. When the cops came neither one would admit that the shitload of heroin was theirs so they both went to jail. It sounds like enough that they will have distribution charges. Excellent, now sentence them to some serious time North Carolina. It’s time for that state to convict or get off the pot and just let them kill each other and save the state some money.
I can hardly wait until Farah figures out how to one up this spectacular fail. You know I will be covering? Couples therapy with that Teen Mom couple that I like that put their kid up for adoption, and Flavor Flav whose wife (?) damn near burnt the couples therapy house down during filming. Why haven’t any of these idiots won a Darwin Award yet?
I hope they go to prison & Janelle’s mom gets permanent custody. She will never get clean. I hope this show is an example to teens, otherwise it’s a waste.
Yeah sure…give the little bastard to the mother of the druggie. Seeing that she did such a great job the first time around.
Why would you call the child such a name, He is innocent. Janelles mother has nothing to do with her drug addiction. That is what is wrong with Janelle she always blames other people for her problems. I agree with Charley because Barbara loves that little boy.
At 64, I have come to realize that there is no such thing as an illigitimate child. Feel free to comment on adult behavior, but can we show respect for children?
Don’t think its fair or right to call the little guy a name, he didn’t ask to be born into that dysfunctional family, mother is a whack job and grandma ain’t too much better, poor kid is just in a bad place no matter which he would end up with 🙁
Teen Mom Adoption (Sorry, I don’t remember their names) couple is so sweet, they are the best examples. I’m sure adoption is beyond hard but that little girl has a great life and 2 sets of parents that put her first, always. I’ll definitely watch couples therapy if they are on this year. Thanks for the tea, Tamara.
Jenelle is an addict that needs serious help and medication for something. Too bad they don’t play Ke$ha in rehab, she would bop on in there ready to go. Use condoms, teens!!
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a bastard anymore. Anything goes and we as a society accept it without judgement. Oh for the good old days when people suffered social condemnation for bad behavior.
I agree with your sentiment, especially of your last sentence. But I don’t believe that a child should suffer any condemnation or travails if both his/her parents happen to not be married.
“Bastard”? Really? Shame on you. Society has long stopped using that work for children born out of wedlock. We should not stigmatize the babies because their parents are irresponsible. That being said, this child is very lucky to have a Grandma who is so dedicated to him. Janelle will overdose eventually. With Heroin there is just no other way. I wish I could say that she will make it but the hard facts are that only 1 in 10 will make it. This drug is so insidious it is killing our young people at alarming rates. My prayers for her and her family.

Shame on ME ? So typical of the fucked – up thinking of today’s society. I haven’t had children out of wedlock and I have never done drugs…so, shame on me .
No drugs and no children out of wedlock, but you have managed to evolve in to a self-righteous, pompous, ignorant e-thug. So yes, shame on YOU!
Wait, the person with a system of morals and values is now an e-thug? There really is no hope for the human race anymore…
Have you ever had sex out of wedlock. If so u risked having a child
Sorry comment went to wrong comment to reply on
Belinda – good for you for not having a child out of wedlock or doing drugs. But why would you wish the word “bastard” back into our society as a description of a child born out of wedlock? If you think that condemnation only hurt the parent you are sadly mistaken. That social stigma also hurt the child in a BIG way.
Kiss your mother with that potty mouth Belinda? My, my how the uber self rightous show just how many morals they don’t have when their beliefs are challenged.
Don’t kiss MY Mom but I will be more than happy to kiss YOURS and your Dad, too !
You liberal, all accepting idiots, who make excuses for your own and others poor behavior and think everything is a “disease” rather than a choice, are one of the reasons society, as a whole, is in the toilet. Instead of worrying about what I SAY, put that energy and criticism into what people DO !
Wow Tamara I’m kind of shocked you’re siding with Belinda and going as far as to imply she has morals and values that the rest of us lack because she is believes children born out of wedlock should be socially condemned due to their parents’ relationship status. That kind of thinking is plainly discrimination.
Who cares if Belinda has never had children out of wedlock or never done drugs…both of those things can be done responsibly. Obviously Jenelle is not a role model and has gotten herself into a mess of trouble due to her inability to be responsible, but her child should not be called a bastard. People don’t call children born out of wedlock bastards because of a little thing called progress. The same progress that makes it socially unacceptable in most places to call somebody a racial slur due to their skin tone. Although I’m sure the people who freely slung racial slurs back in the day felt just as smug about their system of morals and values.
Maybe she isn’t an e-thug, but she is definitely spouting ignorance.
I have been a long time lurker and fan of your writing (and I have been rooting hard for you as far as the whole Sheree legal debacle goes), but this just doesn’t feel good to me.
Wow, you read A LOT into a short comment of mine. Must be a sensitive subject. I don’t see Belinda as an “e-thug”. You do. There will probably be more things we disagree on in the future. That doesn’t feel one way or the other to me. I disagree with people all the time.
Belinda your juvenile comments just confirm your ignorance. Janelles drug problem is a separate issue from you picking on a defenseless child. Grow up! Call Janelle what you want but leave that poor baby alone.
Oh, but Jenelle claims she was “set up”, but after seeing this most recent Teen Mom 2 episode no one will believe she was set up. Jenelle needs to go to jail for a long time and get very sober, learn to take responsibility, and act like an adult for a change.
Tv really sucked for me on Monday, and I watched Teen Mom (damn Dallas season being over). There were several times when Barbara took Jace to see Janell, and both times when she started an argument with Barbara she tried to love on Jace and he blew her off. Very telling. He loves her, but at his young age obviously senses she’s a problem. Then Keiffah dogging Barbara for working at a Walmart Deli like SHE’S the loser? If I could’ve gone through the screen and slapped him, I would have.
Janells issues are so much bigger than she is. Rehab alone isn’t going to cut it, because she’s been half a dozen times. I don’t know exactly how many times she’s been to jail (at 21!), but it’s more than half a dozen. The worst she’s ever gotten was probation. I’m thinking even if this was guilt by association, she needs to serve a long time, followed by rehab with extensive counseling. She’s bipolar and obviously numbing a lot of pain. I agree, she will be dead sooner rather than later. Dr Drew is useless.
How is Dr. Drew useless? You can see however many doctors you want, if you don’t truly want to change then nothing is going to change. Plus I doubt they even keep contact they probably only see him at the reunion shows.
I would totally watch Celebrity Rehab if Janelle was in it though ha!
The ironic/funny part is that she had just tweeted that she was sober and only took vitamins right before she was arrested. That meth face doesn’t lie.
As part of a celebrity divorce pool I’m in, I almost took the lead earlier this year when Janelle and Courtland got “twitter divorced.” Schadenfreude aside, Janelle would do well by herself to ditch the loser druggies and get healthy. #lifeistooshort
With her the inclination she’s always had to get in trouble, putting a heroin addiction into the mix is the worst thing she couldve done. Ive been medicated for one for years- I basically work JUST to pay for treatment, because that shit is impossible to quit. Withdrawal is literal torture, and no matter how much you want to quit or what kind of detox you can afford, there is no way out that will not be extremely painful. That’s why I always emphasize the difference between abuse and addiction, a lot of people don’t even know that drugs can do that to you and addiction is about having to be high all the time. It’s not the desire to get high, it’s the need to not be in withdrawal.
Good luck to you Sars. I hope you make it and I will pray for you.
