Leah Messer Calls Out MTV for Exploiting Her Addiction on 'Teen Mom 2'

Leah Messer, star of Teen Mom 2, claims MTV failed to intervene during her struggles with drug addiction and "took advantage" of her. She believes the cameras should have been cut and an intervention should have been done instead of using her struggles for TV drama. Messer previously opened up about her dependency on prescription painkillers, which she claims began after a botched epidural. While a producer of the series told Teen Vogue that they were simply following the "principles of documentary filmmaking," Messer acknowledges that without a producer's persuasion, she might not have accepted help.
