Leah Messer has been pretty quiet in the weeks since Teen Mom 2 Season 7 wrapped up a few weeks ago now.
We can’t say we blame her, given everything that went down.
It certainly wasn’t an easy season for the mother of three.
In fact, it’s possible that no Teen Mom star’s parenting was ever as harshly criticized on social media as Leah Messer’s has been over the course of the past few months.
Which is really saying something, given that cast of characters.
Yes, for all their many, many errors in judgment, Jenelle Evans and Farrah Abraham may not have ever been on the receiving end of the kind of online vitriol that Leah saw.
In the wake of episodes that showed the 24-year-old rushing her kids off to school without breakfast and making other questionable choices, the backlash was immense.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that Leah isn’t playing nice on Twitter these days. Or was.
While she’s no longer responding to individual critics, and she occasionally pretends that all is well in her world, Messer is not above throwing a little shade.
Here and there. Just to keep us on our toes.
“Don’t dare shrink yourself for someone else’s comfort – do not become small for people who refuse to grow,” Leah tweeted earlier this week.
After fans speculated that the comment was a reference to her second husband, Jeremy Calvert, Leah remained conspicuously quiet.
In fact, Leah has been silent on the topic of Calvert, the father of her third daughter Adalynn, ever since the end of the season.
This uncharacteristic silence has led many to the conclusion that her recent passive-aggressive tweets are indeed directed at her ex.
One of the most talked about scenes of the season featured a drunk Leah Messer enjoying a flirty night on the town with Jeremy.
While he later clarified that he’s very much still dating longtime girlfriend Brooke Wehr, Messer has been virtually silent on the matter.
Did Jeremy rebuff her attempts at reconciliation?
We may never know, but whatever the case, it’s still not easy being Leah. Never has been, and likely won’t be anytime soon.
