If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know that this season hasn’t exactly been kind to Leah Messer.
Last week’s premiere stirred up a tremendous amount of controversy due to a scene that appeared to show Leah denying her children breakfast.
Messer proceeded to make the situation worse by taking to Twitter and describing her daughter as a “drama queen” for demanding to be fed.
Now, just as the scrutiny of her parenting was beginning to let up, Leah finds herself at the center of a new controversy, as fans are expressing their concerns about Messer’s sobriety on social media.
Leah struggled with a prescription pill addiction that was documented in season six of Teen Mom 2, but she’s reportedly been clean and sober ever since she checked into rehab last year.
On last night’s episode, however, Leah was shown complaining that she’s too tired to drive and asking a cousin to pick her daughters up from school, thus leading many viewers to speculate that she may be back on drugs.
Leah exacerbated concerns by complaining about her anxiety and difficulty coping with the demands of day-to-say life in a subsequent scene:
“I have a fear of the future and what it holds. I’m trying not to work myself up because that’s when my anxiety kicks in,” she said in a voice-over.
In all likelihood, Leah is just stressed and exhausted, but it’s not hard to see why fans might think there’s something more going on.
