Charges include domestic criminal trespass.
Moreover, the show has shifted away from its roots of highlighting the struggles of teen moms.
The show has run its course,one fan lamented on Reddit.
I never cared for all these new people they brought on.
Once the originals started to leave, I stopped watching.

However,this move backfired, generating backlashrather than the increased ratings MTV likely hoped for.
MTV might be better off reallocating this budget to rebranding the series or funding fresh, innovative content.
At its peak, it wasone of reality TVs most ground-breaking shows.
But times have changed, and the shows current format feels outdated.
If MTV insists on keeping the franchise alive, they must make drastic changes to address fan concerns.
Life takes a dramatic turn for the reality star.
One potential solution isa complete overhaul of the castwhile retaining theTeen Momname.
A few years ago,MTV revived16 and Pregnantafter nearly a decade off-air.
The reboot followed new teen moms, bringing a fresh, authentic perspective to the franchise.
Fans appreciated its relatability, as these teens were not yet celebrities like the original cast members.
MTV could select young moms from the reboot and create a newTeen Momseries centered on their lives.
This would restore the authenticity and relatability fans have been missing while introducing fresh drama.
A show centered on the mother-of-seven could keep fans engaged while reinvigorating theTeen Mombrand.
Its clear fans are dissatisfied with the current state ofTeen Mom: The Next Chapter.
