EXCLUSIVE | Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer says she doesn't 'sweat the opinion of trolls' and nor does her family
Being a public figure can be hard as sometimes trolls tend to take over social media. However, Leah Messer is not bothered by them. In an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW), LeaH revealed how she and her daughters are not affected by any of the trolls that try to come at them on social media.
Recently, Leah had slammed people online when some trolls commented on pictures of her daughter, Ali. Speaking on this Leah said, "We don’t sweat the opinion of others and Ali is a very powerful, determined, strong young girl that will NEVER get her validation or self-worth from the opinions of others. She knows she is beautiful and such an inspiration because we instill that within her. Yes, there are days she gets discouraged, but we continue to make the best of challenges as they come."
"Tell the trolls that I love them anyway," she further added. Leah also revealed that all of her daughters love filming and the crew members have become a second family to them. "All of my girls love filming, they love the cameras, they love our crew. We really do have the best time filming. & our crew becomes family to us," she said.
She continued, "I’ve definitely always kept an open dialogue with my girls If there ever days they don’t want to film. Guess what? They don’t and my producer has always respected that. And perhaps growing up on tv they kind of understand that there will be people that love you and people that judge you. The key is to just keep doing your thing no matter what that looks like to others. They never really ask about it though."
The reality star also has something to say to all those people who thought that the show should come to an end because they are no longer "teens". "I think if the viewers are still inspired by our journeys then keep it on air. I think that it still shows the challenges of raising children in split homes and all that comes with having a child or ‘two’ at such a young age," she said.
Season 10 of the show premiered last week and Leah assured the viewers that this season is worth watching. "This season I feel like everyone is going to finally get to see a glimpse of the woman I was meant to become despite all the adversity I have stumbled upon along the way. They will also get to see the birth of my first nephew whom I’m in love with and they’ll get to see me get even more candid about my memoir, mental health, and addiction. I’m excited!" she said.
'Teen Mom' 2 airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on MTV.
