Days after The Ashley posted audio of a 911 call made in May by Amanda Conner in which she accused her husband Ryan Edwards of being “very abusive” and stated that they were “in the middle of a divorce,” Amanda has responded and her explanation is…odd.
In a video posted on Wednesday night to social media, the “Teen Mom” alum talked about her relapse before going on to address the things that she said in the audio. Although the audio of the call (which The Ashley obtained directly from the Hamilton County 911 Dispatch Center) makes it clear that it’s Amanda saying that Ryan is abusive, gave her black eyes and that they were divorcing, Amanda denied these things and wrote them off as “rumors.”
“The rumor about what Ryan did to me is bulls**t,” Amanda insisted. “Please note that I am a little Tasmanian devil so that’s just a rumor.”
She also addressed the other major declaration she made during her call about her and Ryan divorcing. As The Ashley told you, Amanda made the call one day after her arrest for DUI and child abuse. She called to ask for police assistance in getting her things from the home she shares with Ryan. She told the 911 operator that she and Ryan “are in the middle of a divorce” and she was scared to go inside in fear that he was tricking her. She also revealed that Ryan has been “very abusive” to her in the past and allgedly gave her “black eyes” and other injuries.

“Me and Ryan are fine,” Amanda insisted in the video posted Wednesday night. “That motherf**ker is stuck with me is stuck with me until he dies. We’re not getting a divorce. I don’t know where that came from.”
In addition to the claims Amanda herself made in the 911 call, her sister Ashley had also recently come forward to discuss the abuse she says Amanda has allegedly suffered from Ryan during their marriage.
“[Ryan and Amanda] had got into it,” Amanda’s sister stated in a video posted to social media after Amanda’s arrest. “They have been getting into it a lot here lately, and even to the point of him being physical with her, whooping her [a**], choking her out…
“… I mean, it was a couple of months ago and he about killed her,” she alleged. “I mean, choking her out, whooping her a** and everything. [He] about killed her and y’all don’t know about that because she didn’t call the police.”
Ashley added that she believes Amanda “probably definitely should have” called the police because “she thought that her life was going to end.”
“She lost consciousness multiple times and continued to be choked and strangled,” Ashley said.
After Amanda posted her video Wednesday, her sister Ashley addressed the fact that Amanda is now denying that any abuse has occurred. She maintained that she was telling the truth when she talked about Ryan allegedly abusing Amanda.
“Fun fact about myself.. I do not delete ANYTHING from my phone!” Ashley posted to Facebook on Thursday. “I can back up & stand on what I said.& not from just one side but both parties. I’m not going to do that at this moment though. (Just know it’s in the chamber) That was just not a wise decision to make or post and for multiple reasons, a few of those are much bigger than any social media sh** . I do not appreciate being a [liar].”
Ashley confirmed that she and Amanda remain close and speak daily. (She also confirmed that Amanda’s son Brandon— whom Amanda got custody of last year)— is staying with her.
“We’re good. We talk daily. Hell her son is here now,” Ashley wrote in a comment. “I’ve been talking to her all day. (I told her I was gonna have to clear my name.. I’m not giving any additional info or anything new but i stand on what I said. I understand she has to do what she has to do & vice versa)
While Amanda’s video received a lot of supportive comments, there were also plenty of comments from people who accused her of covering for Ryan, as well as from people who were genuinely confused as to how the claims can be ‘rumors’ when it was Amanda herself who made them.
“So you aren’t getting a divorce?” one person wrote. “Girl we’re so confused.”
“How’s it a rumor when she’s the one that said it on the 911 recording?” someone responded.
“You don’t know where that came from?” someone commented. “It came from your own mouth and your sister confirmed it.”
“The accountability on the relapse is there, the accountability of where the rumors started it not,” someone else wrote. “Stating you’re a Tasmanian devil is not taking accountability. You should have said, ‘I stated some things about my partner there were not true when I was in the midst of drugs and anger. I should clarify that Ryan is not abusive and did the right thing when I was clearly not in the right state of mind.'”

Accountability is a really difficult word for some. Not only do they struggle with the definition, but also the application in their own lives.
Amanda can’t even read the word, much less anything beyond that. She is, clearly, not actually trying to work towards sobriety. If it wasn’t obvious to some before, it should be now. Her behavior is pretty on par with an addict who doesn’t want to do or be better. She is literally repeating her life patterns over and over without ever changing anything. Which is something many people struggle with, of course, that’s a huge part of sobriety. You will likely fail far more times than you expect.
She’s still a terrible person, not because she’s an addict, but because she doesn’t want to be anything else and for harming her own children for her own amusement. The no effort to sobriety and the way she thinks it’s funny to have kids in that kind environment lends more to her being a pos person than her actual addictions ever will.
So the son she just got back is living with her sister. For how long? The sister doesn’t realize what an issue that is, or is she gonna make up excuses for her sister about that too? And where is the baby she’s not even allowed to be around?? I’m so concerned for these kids.
I don’t follow any of these people online and I know Ryan has a history of abuse but if had been beating like she said, black eyes etc isn’t she always on online making videos, wouldn’t these injuries be visible?
Tell your dog I said hi.
Girl is in the middle of a divorce from her drugs. She should really just stay off the interwebs and focus on what matters. Why does nobody ever just get off social media and handle their crap? Yikes!!
“That motherf**ker is stuck with me is stuck with me until he dies.” I really hope that she wakes up sometime soon and realizes that saying someone is stuck with someone until the other one “dies” is NOT okay when talking about allegations of domestic violence. It doesn’t matter if they are “true” or “false!”
She’s giving Janelle with her gaslighting attempts. We are not stupid. You were the one that called 911 and said you were in the middle of a divorce and your husband is abusive. I know a lot of people liked her, but I feel like she cares more about her fans and getting likes than her sobriety or her children.
This girl is a mess. I don’t even care but at least keep your lies straight. And change your damn smoke detector batteries!
The smoke alarm is chirping in every single one of her videos, how can she live like that?? I hear it ONCE and it’s getting fixed.
