Teen Mom 2’s Leah Messer Loses Primary Custody of Twins

By  | 

MTV’s “Teen Mom 2” star Leah Messer has lost primary custody of her five-year-old twin daughters Aliannah[Ali] and Aleeah to ex-husband Corey Simms, according to in Touch Weekly. A source revealed that Corey was “awarded primary custody effective immediately” on October 13, and now Leah only gets the girls on weekends.

For those of you haven’t spent the past five years religiously watching Leah, like I have, on MTV’s hit shows “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom 2,” as well as the always interesting reunion episodes with celebrity internist and radio personality Dr. Drew, she’s had a pretty rough couple of years. She sent fans of the show on an emotional roller coaster, captivating viewers when her teenage tale of having twins with a boy she had only been dating for a month lead to what everyone thought was a fairytale wedding to her baby daddy. But when that marriage failed, she quickly married Jeremy Calvert and gave birth to their daughter Adalynn[Addie] all within less than a year.

Then in 2014, allegations that Leah was abusing prescription pills that she was taking for anxiety issues began to surface. She has repeatedly denied these claims and even filmed a segment of the show in which she passed a drug test, but that didn’t stop the rumors from causing tension between her and her ex and her current husband. Around that time is when Corey first sued Leah for primary custody of the two girls and lost. Then, during the most recent season of “Teen Mom 2” a slurring and disheveled Leah prompted many to accuse her again of being on drugs, resulting in Jeremy eventually filing for divorce–leaving her the sole primary custodian of three kids.

Whew.

Now that you’re all caught up, lets get back to the twins’ custody case. A family insider told in Touch that when Corey took her back to court “the judge looked at the girls’ school records, which show that they’ve been late for school, and made the change in custody.” But her fight might not end there.

Leah’s other ex-husband is now rumored to be prepping to take  her back to court to fight for primary custody of their daughter, Addie, 2. The same family source told in Touch,

Everyone is very worried about Addie. She recently wandered out of the house while Leah was distracted. Thankfully, a police officer found Addie and brought her back home.

Somehow she seems to be taking the news ok…we think. She posted the following tweet on the day she is said to have lost custody.

Then that weekend she presumably got her girls back. She posted these tweets where she appears to be putting up a good front regarding the new arrangement saying:

Gossip aside, hopefully everything works out for the three children caught in the middle of this prolonged custody battle.
