Corey Simms grew so concerned about her behavior that he filed for full custody in 2014, saying, “People would randomly come up to me in public, around our small town, telling me how bad they’ve seen you on drugs.” For her children, Leah checked into rehab in 2015 but said that it didn’t have to do with drug abuse.
In a recent episode of Teen Mom 2, Leah looked rather exhausted while she was driving to the doctor’s office to talk about Ali’s health scare. Because of her disorder, her muscles will become less able to carry the weight of her growing body; she’s already experiencing issues breathing, eating, and walking.
Leah found out that Ali’s breathing problems weren’t related to her muscular dystrophy, but she was feeling overwhelmed regardless. She almost seemed like her physical state was altered while she was in the car on this day. Her fans grew concerned since they’ve seen her like this before.
The Verdict
Redditor tickingtimebags talked about how she seemed out of it. “She is a drug addict though, and I honestly can’t imagine facing what Leah is facing with her daughter’s health and not wanting relief for a moment. Relapse happens. Hopefully that isn’t what is going on, but if it is, I hope she is taking her addiction seriously and seeking support for herself. I really feel for her, she’s a lost little hillbilly in a very painful situation.”
AngelxDust concurred: “She ran over some curb or something and looked REALLY startled. First thing I thought was that she looked really HIGH and out of it. I rewinded it over and over and I’d lay money on her being on something.”
Then, Redditor ROFL_stiltskin put it all in perspective, “Don’t think so… although I do think she seemed a bit preoccupied but IMO this can be attributed to having a lot on her mind and worrying about her daughter’s health.
“However, it wouldn’t surprise me if she was on some sort of anxiety medication, but not abusing it like we’ve seen it past episodes. I think what we witnessed was just a stressed out and worried parent.”

3. Rumors Turned Fact

In the Teen Mom fanbase, it’s not hard for some rumors to fly for a while before they’re actually addressed by the stars. Even though some of these rumors are harmless, every now and then a serious accusation will come into play. This is especially true for Jenelle Evans.
Radar Online reports that Jenelle may have returned to her previous days of drug use. In fact, they allege that Jenelle may have been using drugs during her pregnancy with Ensley.
So who is responsible for these rumors and accusations? Well, that would be none other than Jenelle’s ex Nathan Griffith’s mother.
Drug use can have life-altering effects on anyone, especially when it comes to long-term addiction. However, drug use paired with pregnancy is extremely dangerous, and can have lethal implications for mother and child alike. Needless to say, accusing someone of using drugs while pregnant is a serious accusation and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
So when the mother of Jenelle Evans’s ex, Nathan Griffith, decided to take these accusations to court, she set off a wildfire of new rumors concerning the recent mother-of-three and bride-to-be. At the heart of the accusations, she begged the courts to grant her custody of Jenelle and Nathan’s son, Kaiser.
According to Radar Online, Doris Davidson, Nathan’s mother, took to court to plead that a judge grant her custody of Kaiser. She claimed that Jenelle “has an extensive history of drug use,” that returned while she was pregnant with Ensley. She wrote, “Upon the birth of Ensley, the newborn tested positive for marijuana.”
She went on to claim that “DSS became involved due to Ensley testing positive for marijuana and opened an investigation. Upon information and belief, both Plaintiff and David had positive drug screens for marijuana.”
According to Radar, the papers also added, “The Plaintiff and Defendant [Nathan Griffith] are at this time not fit and proper persons to provide for the care custody and control of the minor child.”
