Leah Messer Opens Up About Traumatic Childhood: My Mother Pressured Me to Have Sex With an Older Boy
April 21, 2020
Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer has a new memoir on the way, and excerpts that have already been made public have revealed that Leah's past is even more painful than fans of the show ever realized.
In the book, Leah opens up about her addictions, stating that there were times when she was so high she didn't even realize she was on camera.
She reveals for the first time that she aborted Jeremy Calvert's baby and nearly took her own life afterward.
And now, in an excerpt published this week by The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Leah reveals that as a young teen, she was forced by her mother to perform sex acts with an older boy.
Please be warned that the following article contains graphic descriptions of childhood sexual trauma.
1. A Painful Past
Leah Messer has always had a complicated relationship with her mother, Dawn Spears.
2. Worse Than We Thought
Now, Leah is opening up for the first time about the abuse she endured during her harrowing upbringing.
3. Sharing Her Pain
Leah's book won't be published until May 5, but The Ashley has obtained an advance copy and is the first to report on a traumatic childhood incident Leah describes in her debut memoir.
4. A Tumultuous Home Life
Leah sets the stage by revealing that she had already lost her virginity at age 13, and her mother was going through a rough patch in her marriage with her husband Lee.
5. A Lack of Boundaries
Messer says that on the nights when Lee would go out drinking, her mother would stay behind and hang out with Leah and her friends.
6. A Painful Memory
Leah says she was often embarrassed by Dawn's behavior, particularly on the night that she suggested the group of teens engage in a game of spin the bottle.
