Jesus God, Leah!!

[Marley]

That book seems really shitty lol.

I love how Leah tries to make Miranda seem like this bad person for wanting to be in on texts with her and Corey. You guys were banging behind her back and they just got married. Gross. Corey seems so shitty. Leah is definitely shitty.

[TeeMo]

10 years later and I still can’t remember which one is Aleeah, which one is Ali and which one they inexplicably call Gracie.

Also Leah is an ass. I think I remember a scene where Corey and Miranda sat down with her in a restaurant and gently tried to insinuate that she needed some help and she shot them down. There was a lot they were trying not to say on camera in that scene to save her some face but she could not admit anything. Save us this BS of “everyone was more concerned with making me look like a bad mother than helping me.”

That nose is.... 

In some angles she hides it and looks pretty. Other times it’s really out there.

Wow I did not realize Corey had lost all his hair. I always feel sorry for guys in their 20s and 30s that have to deal with premature balding. Miranda looks beautiful though.

I didn’t recognize her so I looked up recent pictures.  The ones with less make up look like the old her just thinner.  Losing weight changes the face, plus I don’t think she had anything to fix.   

[DangerousMinds]

She had thinner lips before.

At least she didn’t over do the lips.   They are a perfect size.

So, I wonder if she’s still banging her sister’s baby daddy? (This suggests that Victoria and baby daddy are still together, I have no idea if they are or not.) Against my better judgement I watched the newest episode and there was weird tension between Leah and the baby daddy. Leah has had weird sexual tension with many guys, though, including Victoria’s ex-husband. 

I’m just thinkin’ analytical.

I definitely got the impression Leah had something going on with her sister's ex, but news to me that she has something going on with the new guy, too?

Victoria and the newest baby daddy are at least pretending to be together because he’s here on a K-1. 
 

Leah is the type that gets her entire sense of self from sexual attention and validation from men, hence she’s the prime candidate to be up for being the side chick to a man in her social circle. She’s too lazy to go out and look for men to meet this need, but I def think she would be game if a guy she knew approached her.

Yeah, this goes back a few seasons, but when Leah was having one of her her freak out, everyone-is-against-me tirades one season, Victoria's husband (obviously no longer in the picture) was soothing her and to me it seemed very obvious there was something going on between the two of them.

 

But I haven't watched enough to speculate if this is an ongoing "thing" with her.

He isn’t here yet. She said the pandemic is slowing things down. Unless that changed in the last few days. She mentioned on Tuesday he was not here.

It’s just my impression based on their interactions. She was way too flirty and not acting like he was her sister’s boyfriend.

I really think Leah has no idea how to interact with a guy in a nonsexual way. She couldn’t stop banging Robbie. She kept going back between Jeremy and Cory. She cheated on Jeremy with Cory and I’m sure she cheated with Jeremy on Cory too. She can’t just coparent with Jeremy without sleeping with him unless one or both of them are in a relationship. This would probably be happening with Cory too if it weren’t for Miranda. It already did once even with Miranda.

Have we ever seen Leah act platonically with even one guy who wasn’t her brother or stepdad? She doesn’t even act “normally” towards her sister’s “men.” It’s really sad. Like @Tatum said, her validation is through guys. Any guy around, IMO.

EDIT: Also, “thinkin’ analytical” is what Leah said in the episode. Them ain’t my brilliant words. 😂

I really don't think so. Even if she was not interested in a certain guy, I could see her feeling like if he's a single, hetero guy in her orbit, and if he wasn't interested in her, it would be a dis.

 

I really think Leah places her entire worth on her looks and her ability to attract men. Maybe also being a mom, but Addie is already 7. Leah has never been able to get through any educational or career goals, so her entire identity revolves around her Teen Mom 2 life and being the local dime piece of the holler. I foresee a major identity crisis when she hits 30. And 40 is going to be traumatic for her I bet.

[zenme]

Yes. My armchair psychologist analysis is that she was molested as a child. Her currency and value is, in her   mind, her sexuality. She’s no longer taking opioids, but I think she still needs to see a therapist.

I would hope not- for Leah’s sake, but sadly lots of kids are molested. It’s a possibility. 
 

But I think it’s more likely she’s just intellectually and emotionally lazy born into a culture that values being thin and white and blonde (which she is)- so she’s working with what she’s got. Because Leah isn’t really that much to look at (outside of the 3 things above). Her looks were never going to be an income earner or change her social status. TM2 was lightening in a bottle for her.

Yes. If TM2 hadn’t if happened she would’ve tried to stay married to Corey so she wouldn’t have to work a low skill job.

Well, she's not a natural blond :).

Who could forget that crispy brown with white highlights and flat ironed bangs mess she sported on her original 16 and pregnant?

From The Sun:   

A West Virginia court exclusively confirmed to The Sun that Leah, 28, was hit with a state tax lien in the amount of $31, 510 on July 24, 2020. 

The clerk of court confirmed the Teen Mom 2 star has not paid off the debt. 

The debt comes after The Sun previously reported Leah was slapped with a federal tax lien for $123, 841 on July 8, 2019.

The clerk of court confirmed the mom of three has also not paid off the amount.

[StatisticalOutlier]

I would estimate that these tax amounts are on roughly $500,000-$600,000 of income, based on 5% West Virginia and 20% Federal.  I'm sure that MTV has been issuing 1099s to her for years, so this must be other-than-Teen-Mom income, and I'm guessing some sort of social media income, like endorsements?  Yikes.

Is it possible this is several years combined? Like if she did not pay taxes in 2017-2018? Otherwise, I know The Ashley estimated Jenelle made around $90,000 just posting ads on her SM pages several years back- she didn't even have to endorse it or use it, just publish it and leave it up for a month. Leah may have received some advance money for her book, but I doubt that was even in the 6 figure range. I have been able to look at a few book contracts for my work, and I doubt Leah got more than mid 5 figures as an advance, and even that is pushing it. I am sure that number also includes penalties and interest, but maybe not a significant portion.

 

The other reason I think it must be multiple years is that it is weird to me Leah would diligently pay her taxes every year, and then randomly just skip one year and still not have paid it 16 months later.

Oh, sorry.  I assume it's for more than one year--that she's never reported her non-Teen-Mom money and it's now catching up to her.  And that it includes interest and penalties.

It's still a LOT of money, to me, especially if it's in addition to her Teen Mom moola.  And the federal lien is probably for taxes owed well before that, and the way "influencing" has gone, she's no doubt making even more these days.

Definitely too much, if you consider her contribution to society.

But wait--is she still a member of that cult?  I assume the money she makes from people she recruits would be income.  So maybe it's not just social media.  I can't decide if I'm relieved or not.

Oh, I assumed her TM salary was in that mix, but maybe not. $500 or $600K wouldn't be enough if it were multiple years. I mean, I suppose theoretically she could have just not paid her taxes in 2017 or 2018 (like she just didn't file), but even someone as dim as Leah had to know that would easily catch up to her. I am guessing you are correct and that's years of SM and other ancillary income she did not see fit to report.

 

I don't think she gets any (taxable) income from recruiting people to the cult. Her MLM, sure, but she hasn't bothered with that in years. Maybe she tried to write off "donations" to her cult to lower her standard taxable income and the IRS said no way?

 

I wouldn't mess around with this, Leah. Unlike Amber from TMOG, you actually have assets.

Oops.  I conflated the cult and her MLM scheme. 

So this income she's being dinged for now probably is social media money.  And doesn't include the last couple of years.  I wonder if social media income is reported to the IRS by the payer, like via a 1099 (what MTV does for what they pay her).  Not reporting income that's on 1099s, which are sent to the IRS by the payers would be an easy way to get caught. 

But surely she's familiar with 1099s by this point, having received them from MTV for a decade now.

Excellent point.  And honestly, with this kind of money rolling in, can't she afford to buy an extra willchair?  One for school and one for home.  Hell, one for school and one for her home and one for Corey's.  Seems like a luxury, but since they're not willing to transport the school one to use elsewhere, probably more like a necessity.  I wonder what Dr. Tsao would recommend.
