Amanda Conner is catching a lot of flak for her decision to jazz up the electronic monitoring device she’s been court-ordered to wear on her ankle.
Amanda— who is the wife of ‘Teen Mom’ star Ryan Edwards— has been sporting the “accessory” since she was arrested last month for DUI and child abuse. Amanda later admitted to relapsing on drugs, and has since been showing off her ankle monitor on social media. Her recent attempt to decorate the monitor by applying rhinestone jewels to it has been met with a lot of criticism, with many fans telling her to “grow up.”

As The Ashley previously reported, Amanda was arrested on May 24 after Ryan called the police and reported that Amanda was driving under the influence while their daughter Presley was in the car. Ryan told the cops that Amanda drove away after he tried to get her to take a drug test. Police tracked her down eventually, but Amanda refused to submit to a test, causing her to receive a charge of violating the Implied Consent law in Tennessee. Because Presley was in the car, she received the child abuse/neglect charge, in addition to a DUI charge and a traffic violation.
Amanda was ordered to wear the electronic monitoring device until at least her court date in August, but her attempt to fancy it up a bit did not go over well with fans.
“I wouldn’t be so proud of that ankle monitor,” one person wrote in the comment section of Amanda’s Facebook post. “You are a mother of 2…it is time to start growing up…there’s nothing amusing about it….your showing how immature you really are.”
“That isn’t cute or funny,” another person wrote on Facebook.
Amanda also posted the photo to her Instagram account, where she was met with even more criticism. Some fans felt that Amanda has not been taking her charges seriously.
“If I was a mom and had an ankle bracelet on, I would be so ashamed and embarrassed,” one person commented. “Not posting it for the world to see.”
“This isn’t something to be proud of!” another person wrote.
“This isn’t the flex you think it is,” someone else commented.
Amanda’s attempt to spruce up her government “jewelry” did get a few positive comments, with one person even calling her “beacon of light and a beautiful example to others in recovery.”
Amanda posted a video of her wearing her rhinestoned ankle bracelet on June 29, prompting a plethora of negative comments.

“I actually kinda side with bedazzlling an ankle monitor as disrespectful,” someone wrote in that post’s comment section. “Like you give zero F’s and this is a joke. Just my take.”
“Mocking her punishment is insulting to the people around her whose lives she’s destroying along with her own. So trashy!” one person added.
While some fans were surprised to see Amanda decorating her ankle monitor, one look on TikTok shows that it’s actually a trend to zhoosh up these devices.
Amanda has yet to respond to any of the negative comments. She is due in court to face her charges on August 12.

“beacon of light and a beautiful example to others in recovery.”
Hardly.🤣
Recovery?
When did she quit drugs, detox, go to rehab or stop buying drugs?
Those supporters are dumb as hell.
