Corey Simms, Leah Messer-Calvert Filming For ‘Teen Mom 2’

Filming for Teen Mom 2 Season 6 is underway, and Corey Simms is the latest cast member to be spotted with MTV cameras. That means the crew is up in West Virginia filming Corey and his family, including his dad, stepmom, wife, and twin daughters.

Last year, there was some speculation as to who and who would not be coming back for the new season of the show. After dealing with some family drama, Leah Messer-Calvert decided not sign on for a sixth season of the show. With rumors swirling that she and her husband, Jeremy Calvert, were getting a divorce, most fans understood why she would not want to air her life on reality television. A source spoke to Us Weekly at the time and explained why Leah had decided not to sign on for the reality television show.

“She doesn’t want her drama on TV anymore. She’s scarred by how her split with Corey Simms played out on TV.”

With Leah not wanting to do a sixth season of the show, that meant Corey Simms and his family would not film for the show either. The Ashley explained why, without Leah, Corey and his family would not film.

“The show is about the mothers and MTV will not continue on with Leah’s story if Leah isn’t part of it. Also, it’s highly unlikely Jeremy would have signed on for this mess anyway. Corey and his family will also not film, due to this reason. Corey’s father, Jeff, confirmed this earlier this month via Twitter.”

After some time, Leah Messer-Calvert decided to sign on for the sixth season of the show. It is unclear what made her change her mind, but some reports have suggested that the mother of three needed the money. However, the fact that she and Jeremy Calvert were able to work out their marriage (the couple spent New Year’s Eve together) may have played a role in her changing her mind as well.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Corey Simms dad, Jeff, hinted that the he and his family would be back for Teen Mom 2. While he didn’t confirm for sure, the new photo that he shared on Twitter made things clear.

"We are back to smacking these things and having crews hover around us! @NanaSimms @CoreySimms2 @mirandabridget #TM2″

Leah Messer-Calvert hasn’t confirmed that she is filming, but with the crews back in West Virginia, it seems likely that she and her family are filming for the show as well. So far, she and Chelsea Houska are the only cast members who have not been spotted with camera crews; Jenelle Evans and Kailyn Lowry have both been spotted filming.

It is unclear when the new season of Teen Mom 2 will air, but rest assured that Corey Simms and his family as well as Leah Messer-Calvert and her family will be back.

Leah Messer's Daughter Aliannah Is Starting Pre-K This Fall!

It seems like just yesterday that Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer was popping out two adorable babies on 16 and Pregnant, and we can hardly believe that her daughters are almost four years old! Aliannah Hope and Aleeah Grace have grown leaps and bounds since they made their television debut, but their childhood hasn't been without struggle.

After years of tests and countless doctors appointments, Ali was diagnosed with a rare developmental disorder. Leah prefers not to reveal too much about her daughter's condition, but recent melancholy tweets from this West Virginia mountain momma had fans worried that she'd received bad news about her little lady.

Luckily, this doesn't seem to be the case. Ali's about to start Pre-K, which means she's healthy enough to be on her own during the day! Although, Leah is most definitely a ball of nerves about Ali's big milestone….

"Nervous about my little girl starting school next week!" she tweeted on September 7. "I know she'll do so great! Mommy love you Ali Girl! #Pre-K here Ali comes!"

We couldn't of said it better ourselves! Ali is going to rock Pre-K's socks off, and here's to hoping she has a fabulous year full of straight As!

Leah Messer Asks God For Answers — Is There Cause For Concern?

Leah Messer lives a charmed life as Teen Mom 2's resident West Virginia Mountain Mama, but she and her ex-husband, Corey Simms, struggle daily with their daughter Aliannah's ongoing health problems. Ali suffers from a mysterious developmental disorder that has yet to be revealed to MTV's audiences (hopefully we'll find out more during Teen Mom 2 Season 5), and it looks like Leah and Corey just got some bad news.

The once-happy couple were spotted filming at a hospital with Ali, which isn't cause for alarm in itself. After all, Ali has frequent doctor's appointments and therapy sessions! However, a recent tweet from Leah definitely has us on edge.

"Angry is how I feel..." Leah tweeted on July 17. "No explanation. I hope this is your will god and someday you can give me an explanation. #NoWords."

Though Leah didn't confirm that she's referring to Ali's health in her tweet, her mom's response made direct reference to this little lady.

"Sis I wish I had the answer for you all we can do is be there," Momma Dawn tweeted. "I love you baby. I would give my live to make Ali 100%."

Leah's tweet is definitely alarming, and it's hard to gauge whether Ali's suffering a developmental setback, or whether something far more serious is going on. Check back in with Wetpaint Entertainment for more updates, and keep Leah and Ali in your thoughts.

Aliannah Simms Undergoes a Major Operation

 

Recap of Teen Mom 2 Season 4 Finale (April 29, 2013)

 Please grab a giant tub of tissues and prepare to cry your eyes out, because things are about to get all kinds of emo. Like, even more emo than Conor Oberst's bangs. After years of uncertainty, it looks like Leah Messer and Corey Simms are finally getting some answers about Baby Ali's mysterious medical condition!

This is great news, but poor Ali has to undergo surgery so the docs can do a muscle biopsy and figure out what kind of disorder she has, which causes both Leah and Corey to break down in the hospital waiting room.

Considering that these two have a fraught relationship full of baseball hats and phone-burping, we're more than a little impressed by their solidarity. Leah and Corey totally have each other's backs, and Leah's hubby, Jeremy, is able to get time off work to come with them to the hospital. Aww, they're just like one big, happy family!

But back to what's important: what muscular disorder does Baby Ali have? That remains to be seen, but it's looking more and more like she has Mitochondrial Disease, which causes cell injury in the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and both endocrine and respiratory systems. The disease can cause loss of motor skills, muscle weakness, seizures, liver disease and diabetes (among other ailments), and if Ali is officially diagnosed it will be a lot to take in.

The good news? This adorable kiddo is amazingly brave, and we're sure she can make it through anything!

Leah Messer and Corey Simms Take Aliannah to the Hospital! (VIDEO) From 4/122/13 Show

 

On monday night’s episode of Teen Mom 2,  a lot went down between our girls Kailyn Lowry, Chelsea Houska, and Jenelle Evans — but the most emotional moment had to be when mountain mama Leah Messer decided to go through with the muscle biopsy for her daughter Aliannah Simms.

As we all know, Aliannah was born with a development condition that has affected the 3-year-old’s motor skills. In a sneak peak clip for Teen Mom 2's Season 4 finale, we see Leah Messer and ex-husband/baby daddy, Corey Simms, take their little girl Aliannah to the hospital to prep the tyke for surgery. It’s a very emotional scene as both parents have to stay strong to keep their little girl from getting scared of the strangers around her.

After Leah gives her little girl some medication to reduce her anxiety, she dresses in hospital gear and takes her into the operating room. Once that’s done, Leah comes outside and seeks comfort in Corey until they can see their little girl again.

Teen Mom' Star's Photo of Topless 3-Year-Old Daughter Causes Uproar

Another Teen Mom 2 star's parenting is being criticized, but how's this for a twist? Corey Simms, ex-husband of Leah Messer Calvert, may not have been doing anything wrong. At least, he thinks it was A-OK to tweet a photo of his 3-year-old daughter without a shirt.
The photo of Simms' and Calvert's twins, Aliannah and Aleeah, went up on Twitter over the weekend. It features both of the toddlers tearing into their Easter baskets. Only Ali is wearing PJS. Aleeah is half naked. Take a look:

Leah Messer Calvert Corey Simms twins

OK, so she's clearly wearing undies ... and that's it. It looked like a typical morning with toddlers to me, but a fan immediately jumped on Corey for sharing the photo, tweeting back:

    u should be a little more careful of the pics with no clothes on.. Your in the public world..

Considering the "topless" photo is of a 3-year-old, it sounds like someone's stretching awfully far to find fault with the reality star. But could she have a point?

Hold up; I'm not saying there's anything dirty or wrong about what Corey did. As he tweeted back:

    she's a child that's how she woke up.. Get over it.

It's not as if the Teen Mom 2 star stripped his daughter down and tried to take a lascivious photo. Kids just LOVE being naked (or half naked in this case), and we parents love to capture pictures of them being themselves. Most parents have a ton of these photos around the house. I have even framed a few of my favorites of my own daughter.

The problem is how we share the photos. Our parents took those photos of innocent little girls without their shirts on, and maybe they blew one up and hung it on the living room wall.

Today parents are putting the same photos on Facebook for their 693 "closest" friends to see. They're uploading them to Instagram. They're shooting them out on Twitter where anyone and their grandmother can see them.

That's where it gets dicey.

Suddenly that photo isn't just a cutesy family memento. It's open to criticism from the whole world and it's something that could potentially embarrass your kid down the line when they hit that age where EVERYTHING is embarrassing, but especially half nekkid photos of them from childhood.

I have to say one more time, I'm not knocking Corey here. He saw cute kids having fun, and he shared it. He didn't MEAN to potentially embarrass them 13 years down the road ... he's living in the moment as a dad. Not to mention, Ali and Aleeah have already had their baby and toddlerhoods bared open for the world to see; one more picture is hardly going to change anything. They've got plenty of ammunition against Corey and Leah both!

But next time you go to share a photo of your little girl without her shirt on, you might want to take five seconds and ask yourself: do I really NEED to share this?

Do you share photos of your daughters without their shirts on? How old are they?
