Amanda Conner has been dodging online accusations that she’s no longer sober, but that’s not the only trouble the wife of Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards has been dealing with lately.
The Ashley can exclusively reveal that Amanda was charged earlier this month for allegedly causing a car accident that caused bodily injury. According to the misdemeanor affidavit of complaint, the accident occurred on the morning of February 3 on a two-lane highway near her and Ryan’s home.
The officer claimed that Amanda caused the crash by allegedly failing to yield to the driver who had the right of way. Although the affidavit did not specify what type of bodily injury was allegedly inflicted— or who the alleged victim(s) was— it was serious enough for the charging officer to order an investigation into the crash.
Amanda was cited for the alleged crime but was not arrested. She has been ordered to appear in court next month to answer for the crash.
This is certainly not Amanda’s first vehicle-related court case. The Sun broke the news that Amanda was actually sued in March 2023 after a car crash she allegedly caused in 2022 left two women in the other car with “painful and possibly permanent bodily injuries.” The women sued Amanda for $225,000 but later dropped the lawsuit, given that Amanda was allegedly “homeless” at the time and could not be served.
Also in 2022, Amanda was arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), a criminal charge she later plead guilty to.
Amanda met Ryan in the summer of 2023 while both of them were attending rehab. In recent weeks, Amanda’s sobriety was questioned by fans, particularly after she posted a video to TikTok in which she was speaking very fast and acting somewhat erratic. Amanda— who, like Ryan, struggled with drug addiction for years— insisted this week that she was not high, but simply stressed out and tired.

“[I’m] most definitely sober and [have] been for the last three years, sorry to bust your bubble…” she wrote in response to comments doubting her sobriety. “Now may it be due to stress, anxiety lack of sleep, possibly I don’t know. I don’t know what the hell y’all are even seeing or talking about.. but I’m not worried about it because literally all y’all do is make a[n] accusation.. we have been used to this… so it’s really is pointless.. anyways have a blessed day.”
“I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health s**t the past month.. and just working on that alone is stressful but still working on it,” she told someone else in the comment section. “I’ll get there still sober. People just run their mouth because something seems off. I mean I get it, but I’m not gonna explain my life, especially my mental health.”

Ok. Just because she passed field sobriety tests doesn’t even mean she’s sober. I feel like we’ve all been there. It can be worn off but still giving the body grief, still cluttering the brain. That fog and those leftover tingles. You can be sober and still feel out of it from your last go around.
I wonder if she has ADHD that she’s trying to deal with without medication? That might explain her horrible driving.
She’s always posting videos while driving. It’s called distracted driving. It’s selfish and she’s going to hurt someone or herself eventually…
She already hurt people 😕
Amanda probably carries a lot of unprocessed grief and pain, which explains her extremely hostile and aggressive personality (that she disguises as ”sarcasm”). If an ongoing drug addiction were the cause, there would at least still be the possibility of sobriety and for her to improve into a stable mother and adult. Either way she obviously should not be driving.
Can you really claim sober if you still drink?
What I want to know is how the hell she hasn’t had her driving privileges revoked. Two separate cases in short succession with bodily harm and possible permanent injuries to the victims?! Plus her history of drug and alcohol abuse and how she always drives while doing shit on her phone. Someone is really dropping the ball here. Terrifying to share the road with people like this.
Good god, that video on the eyelashes, she can’t even formulate a coherent thought. Fuck. I been hoping they finally straightened up but at this point, shit. Can’t even pretend to be supportive of it & she REALLY seems to be on something there.
This girl is tore up from the floor up y’all! She is legit tweaking out. Not tired, not stressed…tweaking. I get that she is naturally, strangely aggressive, but damnit man! Pinpoint Pupil Conner is on full display.
So is she using again or is she just a negligent driver that shouldn’t have a license?
I’m sure they did a field sobriety test, right?
I would think so if an officer responded to the crash site immediately.
Sorry but why does she have a drivers license
Considering her son has no one else but her now, and they have a new baby I really hope all this questioning of her sobriety is wrong. And that the scrutiny of everyone questioning doesn’t put the pressure on either of them to use.
Those kids need them both healthy.
And sadly Rhine’s driving record is probably worse than hers. Both are a major danger to everyone on the road and neither should have access to a vehicle. And neither ever shows any remorse for the physical and mental pain they’ve inflicted on those around them. Total garbage people.
Rhine’s mommy probably drove them home from the hospital after their daughter was born since she didn’t trust either of those morons.
