Several days after she was arrested for DUI, child abuse and other charges, Amanda Conner is coming clean and admitting she is not, in fact, clean.
As The Ashley previously reported, Amanda— who is the wife of “Teen Mom” star Ryan Edwards— was tossed in the clink on Sunday after Ryan called the police on her to inform them Amanda was allegedly driving high with their daughter Presley in her car. Amanda was arrested that night on charges of DUI, child abuse and more.
While Amanda’s sister Ashley hit The Interwebs earlier this week to defend Amanda (and accuse Ryan of nearly killing Amanda during one of their fights a few months ago), Amanda had not spoken out herself since the arrest…until Wednesday.
Amanda took to TikTok to post a video in which she admitted she had, indeed, relapsed. (Fans had been wondering for months if Amanda was still sober, due to her increasingly bizarre behavior online, but Amanda had insisted until the arrest that she was not using drugs.)
“There’s no other way; gonna have to say it and own up to it and just post it. I relapsed,” Amanda said. “I f**ked up and I relapsed after three years of me busting my a** and getting my life together, I relapsed. I think I got too comfortable, let my guard down and it happened.”
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans are aware, Amanda and Ryan met while both were attending court-ordered rehab together in 2023. Although Amanda’s sister heavily implied that she did not believe Ryan is still sober, Amanda did not mention her husband’s name— or sobriety— in her video.

“I do know addiction does not care how long you’ve been clean; it doesn’t care how much you’ve built, how many people believed in you, it doesn’t care about none of that,” Amanda said. “I do want to start off by apologizing to my followers and my supporters. Because I know y’all believed in me and y’all ride so hard for me and I appreciate the f**k outta that, and I’ve let you all down. I let my family down.
“Just sayin’ that out loud, just letting it be known that I relapsed, it’s just so uncomfortable. It’s shameful, disappointed,” Amanda continued. “I feel guilty, scared. I’m not perfect. I’ve never claimed to be perfect. Life happened and I fell and I fell hard.”
Amanda went on to proclaim that she’s “a fighter” and is determined not to “let relapse be my whole story.” She also told her social media followers that she was going to document her recovery online.
” I’m gonna bring y’all along on my journey to recovery. And it’s not gonna be fun; it’s not gonna be pretty,” she said. “It’s gonna be real; it’s gonna be raw and it’s gonna be hard. But, like I said, I am a fighter and I refuse to let relapse define me or be my story.”
Amanda spoke about the consequences she’s currently facing as the result of her arrest. As The Ashley reported, Amanda was charged with DUI, as well as Child Abuse/Neglect, due to the fact that she had Presley in the car when she was arrested for DUI. (This is a likely to be a felony charge.) She also received charges of Driving on Roadways Laned for Traffic, and violating the Tennessee Implied Consent Law (for refusing to submit to a breathalyzer, blood or fluid test.)
Amanda is due in court on June 3 to answer to those charges. Until then, she is required to wear an electronic monitoring system, and is to have no contact with Presley.
“Obviously, you know, it comes with consequences and I’m dealing with those consequences,” she said.
“It sucks and I owe my supporters a big apology. Like I said, I know y’all believed in me and y’all ride hard for me and I really appreciate that. I love y’all for that,” she said.
…”[This is] what happens in my life when you relapse and do stupid s**t. There’s consequences. But we’re not gonna give up. We’re gonna fight and we’re gonna get back on track. With that being said, we’re getting ready to go meet the lawyer, so stay tuned. I love you guys.”
(Amanda did not reveal if the “we” she was referring to was her and Ryan.)

Always trying to reinvent the wheel with their eyebrows.
She’s just my type! Transactional.
Does she have an Onlyfans? I need to know for wholesome purposes.
If she’s truly starting her recovery, I hope she follows through and finds her way. Still, once someone endangers a child, that changes everything. For me, there’s no coming back from that. Maybe some people are more forgiving, but I’m not one of them.
High as a kite .
She looks and sounds like she’s still using…she also must have relapsed awhile ago. Remember her “shooting” her own infant daughter and then purposely pushing her over? Yeah, definitely still on something.
Her eyes look glazed over & the side of her lower bottom lip looks wounded from the pipe. Sigh. Daddy is a heroin addict and mommy is addicted to meth. It’s going to take a miracle for their daughter to overcome this childhood and come out on the other side unscathed. MTV should have never given Ryan access to all that money to shoot into his veins. They have created generational trauma.
Perhaps staying off social media may be a first step!
I’d respect her admitting this a lot more IF she didn’t wait until she was up against the wall dead-to-rights caught. She knows ppl will request the FOIA for her blood draw and everyone will know then about the meth. So she’s gonna catch it before it comes out and “admit her relapse” to make herself look better. If she hadnt had a blood draw that will become public, i seriously dont think she’d be admitting anything. I wish she would have just been honest, we all saw it and those of us that have been there knew she was undeniably high
Quick! Run in front of the camera and act manic! No one will notice!
What would these fools do without social media. None of this needs to be done publicly. Grow up and stop acting like trash.
What about you get off social media and focus on be legally allowed near your fuckin children?
She’s just trash
So you’re not sorry to your children, 1 of which you put in danger?
Says a lot about you Amanda.
Relapse is a part of recovery actually so this doesn’t mean it’s over for her already
She reminds me of a feral cat that used to live under our house.
She looks like Florida trash.
She’s a lady of lower stock.
Focus on sobriety for herself and family and not her followers. She won’t make it if she’s only doing it for the views.
Maybe being scummy is her true nature? She has my support down at the strip club.
She wanted to start off by apologizing to her followers…. not her kids. Including the one she put in harms way the night she was arrested…
There is absolutely no sincerity here, Amanda comes off caring more about views than she does genuinely caring about sobriety.
Literally came here to say this… She apologized to her followers but not the children she endangered?
The followers pay the bills, ofc thats her main concern.
“I fell hard” yeah . . . Apparently into a pile of meth and horse hair extensions.
Feel bad for that sweet baby that got a double dose of POS parents
Only 5% – 10% of cancer is caused by genetics. The rest is environmental. Think about that when put that needy in your arm. Those ceiling birds are chirping. Is she part black?
Ew racist gtfoh
Ceiling birds???
Smoke detector= ceiling birds LOL. I had to look it up too!
Face tattoos, aye. She has poor judgement, and it’s written all over her face.
I feel for her. It’s not easy. But getting back up, brushing it off, and getting back to business is all you can do. I hope she learns a lot from this and it becomes a huge piece in her growth. Relapse is a major part of recovery for that very reason.
Eh. Return to use is a normal part of recovery.
She still be flyin
When did she detox?
Bc she looks and sounds high af still
She’s pretend curling her hair and her behavior is still very odd. I think she is using this situation as “content”. I still think she is using.
