Amanda Conner, the wife of Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards, has been placed on probation after appearing in court Tuesday for the car accident she allegedly caused in early February.
As The Ashley previously reported, Amanda was charged last month for allegedly causing an accident with bodily injury. The mom of two was cited for the alleged crime but not arrested and she went on to appear in court Tuesday to answer for the crash.
Documents obtained by The Ashley state that Amanda plead guilty to Failure to Yield Right of Way (Bodily Injury). While the judge sentenced Amanda to 30 days in the county workhouse, her sentence was suspended on “good behavior” and she only received probation.
Last month, Amanda took to TikTok to address the rumors surrounding the incident, which she admitted “was [her] fault.”
Amanda explained that the accident occurred early in the morning while she was at a stop sign in her neighborhood and driving with her and Ryan’s daughter Presley in the backseat. According to Amanda, as she reached into the backseat of her car to hand something to her one-year-old, she began to pull away from the stop sign at the same time that another driver– who had the right of way– was driving.
Amanda claimed that both she and the other driver were only going “3 or 4 miles per hour” at the time of the incident, while insisting that no bodily harm had occurred.
(However, Amanda did plead guilty to the charge, which included the “bodily harm” detail.)
Amanda—- who, mind you, was driving her vehicle while filming a TikTok about getting into a car accident— also claimed that the only reason she and the other driver didn’t just exchange insurance information at the scene was because the other driver was in a company vehicle when Amanda hit her.
As previously reported, this was not Amanda’s first vehicle-related court case. The Sun broke the news last month that Amanda was sued in March 2023 for a car crash she allegedly caused in 2022 that left two women 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 court documents.
Amanda was also arrested in 2022 for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), a criminal charge she later plead guilty to.
Last month, Amanda– who, like Ryan, struggled with addiction for years– also addressed the rumors that she had relapsed, telling fans that it was “not true.”
While she admitted to consuming alcohol Amanda reminded followers that she works at a rehab facility and can be drug-tested at any time. She also claimed that her “medical provider” requires her to undergo drug tests to ensure that she does not have “any type of street substance” in her body, as it would interfere with the “mental health meds” she is prescribed.
Amanda went on to assure fans that Ryan had not relapsed either, insisting that the claims were “bulls**t.”

Amanda: I just drink two bottles of wine after work and then down one single large glass when I wake up to “recover.” And I am also smart enough to advertise that to the entire world while noting I work at a rehab facility.
Lorddddd. How long before the news is reported that Amanda lost her job for publicly admitting, just for funsies, that she drank two bottles of wine after work and downed some the next morning before taking her kid in the car. Dumb as fuck. The behavior is problematic as hell, but the fact that she offered up this information for no reason other than that she felt it explained her erratic behavior, while still proving she is sober from her drug of choice, is alarming.
For the love of God, Amanda, at the very least, shut your mouth. Who in their right mind owns up to this publicly because THAT behavior is better than unproved speculation that she relapsed on drugs?!
This👏👏👏👏
Maybe she needs to stop being so focused on recording TikToks while driving.
So she doesn’t do drugs because she can be tested and that’s why she’s now an alcoholic? Ok. She remains trash
At least, Amanda was sober at the time. Because if she wasn’t then the police would of given her the drug/drunk impaired tests. She just needs to slow down a little bit when driving.
She needs to pay attention to the road… not driving and filming TikTok’s at the same time..
