Shen Williams Comments After Son Bar Smith is Sentenced for One of His Pending Charges; Claims Bar’s Charges Were “Trumped” for Ashley Jones’ ‘Teen Mom’ Storyline

“Yeah, mom…anyone that follows you on Instagram is well aware of that at this point.”

Shen Williams, the mom of Teen Mom star Bar Smith, fired off a social media rant over the weekend that was equal parts lengthy, angry and confusing after Bar was sentenced Thursday for one of the charges stemming from his domestic violence arrest involving estranged wife Ashley Jones. 

As you may recall, Bar was arrested in July on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including kidnapping, for allegedly holding Ashley hostage in her Las Vegas apartment. He has remained in jail since the July incident. 

According to court records obtained by Starcasm, Bar entered a plea last week of “nolo contendere”– a plea by which a defendant accepts conviction as though a guilty plea has been entered, but does not admit guilt– to the misdemeanor charge of Battery Consulting Domestic Violence (first offense) and has been sentenced to six months in the Clark County Detention Center. (It’s important to note that the sentence is only for that misdemeanor battery charge.) 

“Damn, a month for each of my brows and two more for good luck.”

The outlet reports that Bar’s sentence is suspended with one year of informal probation and that his charge is listed as “Adjudication Stayed,” meaning the 27-year-old must adhere to the conditions of his probation in order to avoid a conviction and more serious time behind bars. As part of Bar’s probation, he must obtain a substance abuse evaluation and follow up with any recommended treatment; enter and successfully complete parenting classes; not have any negative contact with Ashley; and stay out of trouble. 

“Hmm…I’m not holding my breath on those last two.”

Court records obtained by The Ashley state that Bar’s attorneys filed a “Motion to Sever,” so that his misdemeanor Battery charge could be tried separately from the other counts Bar was facing. His jury trial (for the other charges remaining) is still set for March 31, with Bar due in court this Tuesday for a Status Check (Trial Readiness) hearing. 

While Bar is facing felony charges including Coercion Constituting Domestic Violence, Residential Burglary, and Aggravated Stalking, at the hearing on February 27, all three of those felonies were listed as “Charges Amended/Dropped.” 

Following Bar’s sentencing last week, Shen took to social media, telling fans she “told y’all he coming home”– referring to Bar presumably receiving a lighter sentence than what some had anticipated. Shen then went on to accuse MTV and Viacom of making up some of the charges against her son, warning both companies that they were “gonna hear about it” from her. 

(Shen has been outspoken about her feelings that Bar was wrongly charged following the DV incident with Ashley in July.)

“I told y’all this was not stalking abuse nothin smh they made it up and MTV [bought] it but Viacom is gonna hear about it!” Shen ranted. “They settled my case out of court! Let’s the games begin.” 

Shen also noted that Bar was facing multiple charges– including five felony charges– “based off their testimony alone,” yet he’s now “getting out of jail.”

“…is fixin’ to come home soon!”

“ … do you really think those were real charges?” Shen asked. “They were blow up and trumped for [Ashley’s] storyline and to write my son out. They fake them just like committing perjury in a court room against me … .” 

Shen assured fans, “we are done with this frivolous case for a storyline” and vowed to “expose the truth and the real evil behind closed doors.” 

“Or at the very least, please start proofreading before you post, Shen.”

It’s unknown if Ashley was in attendance on Thursday to make an oral statement at Bar’s hearing, though prosecutors had previously filed a notification informing the defense attorney that she would be present to do so. Ashley has yet to comment on Bar’s sentencing.

As of Monday at press time, Bar remains in custody in Las Vegas.

  1. does anyone remember during quarantine when shen thought she did something and shamed target on her instagram stories for making her son, who was a new hire at the time, work during the pandemic because it wasn’t fair and he had two pregnant baby mamas 😭😂 it’s all shen’s fault for raising and enabling these loser sons, and she even messed up the other kids she raised who aren’t even her biological kids, no wonder she has a bad reputation where she’s from 😂


    1. Barr has another Baby Mama?
      Can someone explain to me what career suicide means when you have no career?


  2. Barr is on the DL.. Ashley knows and his time in prison will amplify this. Sorry ladies but you all have no clue what’s going on with men now.. ask any gay guy in Atlanta, they’ll tell ya. All over YouTube too.. yes, it’s true!


    1. Well, if it’s on the internet it must be true. I know I get all my info from YouTube. Just because some gay dudes in Atlanta have things going on . Doesn’t mean anything. Bar is a pos no doubt, but you have absolutely no proof that he’s “gay.” I’m wondering if you’re just trying to be inflammatory.


        1. Yeah. My trucking company owner/farmer husband that I’ve been with for 26 years is probably “gay.” Maybe if you hung around men with a moral compass, you wouldn’t be so weird.


          1. Sweetie.. you ladies are so screwed.. trust me, you’ll figure it out soon enough.. find a gay guy, and just ask


    1. If they had been held accountable for anything in their lives, who knows how it would’ve turned out. Shen has a sick relationship with these kids. I don’t know if it’s codependency or what. Either way, it’s creepy af.
