Corey Simms News: 'Teen Mom 2' Agrees With Leah Meser's 'Bad Editing' Claims? [VIDEO]
Is Corey Simms "Team Leah" when it comes to Messer's allegations of bad editing on Teen Mom 2?
While Simms and Messer haven't exactly seen eye to eye throughout the seventh season of the show, a report earlier this year claimed Simms felt bad about the way his ex-wife has been portrayed on the series.
“Corey knows how it all works, and feels bad for Leah,” a show insider told Radar Online at the end of March. “They have been getting along very well lately, and everything with the girls is fine. He believes her when she says what appeared on TV wasn’t actually what happened.”
“Corey is well aware that producers will do absolutely anything for ratings,” the source continued. “Last season, they made him and Miranda look like the villains on the show, and they got a lot of backlash from it. They were very upset... Corey and Miranda don’t even watch the show anymore. It’s too frustrating for them. They refuse to pay any attention to the fake drama.”
After a scene from the show made it seem as if Messer refused to feed her kids, Messer took to Twitter to defend herself.
“It’s so sad how the person behind the editing can even live a happy life by editing to manipulate the audience watching. It makes me feel like my story just isn’t enough,” Messer wrote to fans in April, via PEOPLE Magazine. “It hurts to feel BETRAYED by the ones I THOUGHT I could trust with my story. It goes to show you how ‘THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD’ really is. I hope to continue to share my story but I REFUSE to allow it to be twisted for the benefit of a NETWORK!”
A short time prior to Messer's rant, a source claimed Simms was also frustrated by Messer's season six portrayal, which he claimed wasn't hontest.
“Corey feels MTV did him dirty,” a friend of the West Virginian told Radar Online. “He thinks they had the perfect opportunity to show viewers, ‘This is what happens when you get on drugs, this is the reality.’ Instead, they made it seem like Corey was constantly attacking Leah for no reason.”
“Corey told MTV just what he thought about the situation, and said that he and Miranda would not film nearly as much as in past seasons,” the friend revealed. “Producers understood.”
