Leah Messer Recalls Disturbing Spin the Bottle Incident as a Teenager Where Her Mom Pressured Her Into Having Sex

Leah Messer's memoir Hope, Grace & Faith is set to be released next month, and if first looks at the book are any indication, the Teen Mom 2 star doesn't hold anything back in it. Opening up like never before, the mom-of-three goes into detail about her past struggle with addiction, lying about having an abortion, and even disturbing situations that went down when she was growing up.

The Ashley recently obtained an advanced copy of the memoir, and reports that in one part of it, the MTV personality details a time where she was pressured into having sex... by her mom. Apparently, Leah explained that her mom, Dawn, would hang out with her and her friends when she was a teenager, and one of these nights involved a game of spin the bottle. Although Leah clarified she was no longer a virgin at this time, the situation was still embarrassing for her, understandably. The excerpt from The Ashley reads:

"She would let us have friends over and she’d hang out with all of us. I think because she never went to high school, or even got to be a normal teenager, there was a part of her that felt like she had missed out on something. She wasn’t even allowed to talk to boys before she met my dad and got pregnant with me, so she liked hanging out with our friends and being around that energy."

Leah went on to explain what exactly went down during the night in question, after she invited a friend named Mike and his brother over. The book continues:

"We were all sitting around the living room, talking and hanging out, when my mom came into the room with an empty wine bottle and said we should play Spin the Bottle. At first, it was funny; we were all just laughing and not really taking the game seriously. Mike spun, and I was relieved when the bottle didn’t land on me. When I spun, it landed on his brother, so I gave him a peck on the cheek and we all laughed. When it was Mike’s turn to go again, the bottle landed in the empty space next to me. There was an awkward pause and he went to spin it again. Before he could, my mom leaned over and pushed the bottle so that it was pointing right at me. I shook my head and said, ‘No way,’ but she started wrestling with me and telling me I had to do it. I was laughing, because I thought she was just teasing me, but then she started pushing both of us towards the bedroom I shared with Victoria. The next thing I knew I was in the room with Mike and my mom was holding the door shut from the other side so I couldn’t get out. I remember feeling cornered, like a trapped animal. I didn’t want to kiss Mike, much less have sex with him, but that’s exactly what happened."

The reality star clarified that the sex they had was consensual, but she didn't feel good about it by any means. But despite her horror, apparently Dawn found it all hilarious. "When it was over, I felt totally ashamed of myself, but I knew there was no way I could take back what I had just done. Coming out of that room was the most humiliating walk of shame," the book reads, with Leah adding, "I remember my mom laughing as we walked out. Then I think she just lost interest because she went to bed shortly after."

That certainly sounds like a very traumatic situation that no one should have to face, especially not involving your own mom. We can only hope that opening up in this memoir has been therapeutic for Leah, and that she's had a strong support system to get through all of these obstacles. We commend her for being so vulnerable! You can pre-order Hope, Grace & Faith on Amazon here.
