Have an embarrassing mom? At least your mother isn't Farrah Abraham, Kate Gosselin, or Jenelle Evans.
Kate Gosselin has become a household name due to her reality TV stint that documented her life raising 8 children: a set of twins and a group of sextuplets. What was meant to be a sweet show turned into a big family drama. Kate’s camera time revealed her need to control of everyone and everything; she rules with a booming voice and her now famous eye-rolls. She and husband Jon divorced, but she remains in the public eye.
Despite her reality TV show coming to an end, she keeps herself in the tabloids. For years she has been seen getting romantic with her children’s body guard, holding hands and sharing hotel rooms. He’s married with two children of his own. Yikes.
A Today Show appearance earlier this year took awkward to a new level. Teenage twins Mady and Cara remained mum during their interview, prompting Kate to chide them and forcefully tell them to speak up. I’m surprised they agreed to appear on the show. I’d be running for the woods… to Daddy Jon’s cabin. Yes, he totally live in the woods now. After being married to Kate, can you blame him?!
Farrah Abraham seemed to have a pretty good head on her shoulders when she began filming for Teen Mom. She definitely had a rough introduction into motherhood when her boyfriend Derek Underwood was killed in a car accident when she was eight months pregnant. For the first few years of her daughter’s life, she focused on raising Sophia on her own and worked to better her relationship with her own mother. Farrah was focused on advancing her education, learning to make it as a single mother, and did not bring many men around her young daughter.
However, in the last few years her priorities have completely shifted. She had plastic surgery, has posed scandalously in skimpy bikinis and even joined the porn industry. That’s right, she has “starred” in two porn videos: “Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom” and “Farrah 2: Backdoor and More.”
If her porn videos weren’t enough to embarrass her daughter in the future, Farrah is releasing a trilogy of erotic novels based on her experience in the porn industry. Puh-lease! She has only done two videos, what does she really know!?! She has publicly stated that she would be fine with Sophia one day reading her novels, because: “Eventually, she will have to find out that Mommy is a sexual person…” Um, gross.
Jenelle Evans never seemed to have a chance at being a decent mother. Her first child’s father, Andrew Lewis, was out of the picture from the beginning. At least Jenelle made the intelligent decision to give her mom Barbara custody of Jace when her focus was on drugs and partying.
After signing over custody of her young son, Jenelle tried to get her act together and work on achieving a college degree. Sadly just when she was making progress, she slid back into her old ways. She has been arrested ten times in the last three years, most of them being related to drug possession. Jenelle has never been able to pick good guys, and in fact has bailed her boy-toys out of jail multiple times and even stole her mother’s credit cards to go on a road trip with former boyfriend Kieffer Delp.
Her latest arrest had to do with her current boyfriend Nathan Griffith, who is currently in jail until early May 2014. The two had a domestic argument in December 2013 that resulted in the cops being called and Jenelle being arrested for loudly yelling curse words outside, even though police asked her to stop. She is currently pregnant with Nathan’s child (who they’ve already named Kaiser), even though she is married to Courtland Rogers who is in jail for heroin charges. This girl’s biography is definitely a list of what not to do in life.
Jenelle has not been arrested in the last four months and claims to be completely sober. Her mom promised to give her custody of her now four-year-old son if she can stay sober for a full year. We can only hope Jenelle will get her life together: divorce her heroin addicted husband, keep her current boyfriend out of jail, have custody of both her children, and remain sober…seems like a long shot knowing her history.
Let’s just hope momma Barbara doesn’t end up raising both children!
