The MTV show is meant to showcase the stars – young mothers and their adorable kids – but more often than not fans fall in love with the folks around them.

Briana DeJesus' mom Roxanne DeJesus, Farrah Abraham's mom Debra Danielsen, and Jenelle Evans' mom Barbra Evans have each had their own moments in the spotlight.

Roxanne, for one, isn't afraid to get in the mix, while Debra's shine came off-screen with the launch of her music career.

They're not the only Teen Mom grandmas to steal the show either.

Bar Smith's mom Shen and her ongoing feuds with Ashley Jones are frequently a topic of conversation.

Luke Davis' mom, similarly, isn't afraid to butt heads with Kayla Sessler on camera, which sets fans talking.

Not all the buzz is positive, but fans love it anyway.

These are some of the wildest Teen Mom grandma moments through the years.

DEBRA SINGS

Like her daughter Farrah, Debra isn't one to shy away from the spotlight.

Since leaving the show, she's launched a rap career, shocking some Teen Mom viewers.

She released her first music video in 2017, calling the track DebzOG!

Not content to stop at one song, Debra released another single in 2021 controversially titled White Woman's Rap.

In the video for the song, she appears in a black face mask and a sheer top with only her breasts covered and a pair of black leather shorts.

The MTV grandma jumps and dances in the video, which wasn't well-received by all.

One commenter wrote: "Seriously????"

Another chimed in with: "Where Farrah got it from."

SHEN STORMS OFF

When the Teen Mom reunion premiered in May 2022, fans were shocked to see Shen storm off the stage.

She ran off after taking just one question from host Dr Drew Pinsky, who started the segment by complimenting her several times.

“It’s such a privilege to get to know you, look you in the eye, and find out who you are. What do you want people to know about you?” he asked.

She began: “I… I don’t….” as she shrugged her shoulders.

“I need a minute,” mumbled Shen as she got up and quickly ran off stage, saying: “Where do I get out of here?”

“No, no, no, no, no Shen please,” begged co-host Nessa Niab.

Backstage, the drama continued, with Bar shouting at the MTV crew: “She is doing exactly what the f**k I said was gonna happen.

“It’s victim a** s**t. Send her home.”

LUKE'S MAMA DRAMA

Plenty of Teen Mom stars have drama with their moms or mothers-in-law.

Kayla, for example, went head-to-head with baby daddy Luke's mom, leading security to step in.

During an episode of the show, Luke's mom launched herself toward her son, shoving him into Kayla.

The Teen Mom star said: "B***h what is your problem?"

Luke's mom yelled back: "You better shut the f**k up!"

Her son responded: "Chill out!"

Security stepped in to break up the fight.

In another scene from the show, Kayla yelled at Luke's family: "He's not gonna leave me! That's what you all fail to understand!"

ROXANNE'S SHOE TOSS

Like her daughters Briana and Brittany, Roxanne isn't afraid to say what's on her mind.

Earlier this year, fans resurfaced an old clip from a Teen Mom reunion that saw Devoin Austin and Briana feuding.

The exes shouted back and forth at one another, prompting Dr. Drew to sit between them.

Before long, Brittany came out screaming at her sister's former boyfriend.

Roxanne followed as security got involved.

She took off a bright red high-heeled shoe, pulling back her arm as if to hit someone with it.

On , fans were split about how to feel about the move.

"Roxanne is so embarrassing. Girl put your shoes back on and sit your a** down," one wrote.

Another added: "Brit and roxanne need to be banned from reunions."

BARBARA BITES BACK

Jenelle is known for getting in fights and saying what she thinks on Teen Mom.

Her mom also doesn't back down from a fight and fans love her for it.

The pair have had a contentious relationship for some time, with MTV's cameras capturing much of the drama.

Earlier this year, Teen Mom fans resurfaced an old clip from a heated feud between the mother-daughter duo.

The clip shows a supposedly routine drop-off of Jenelle's oldest son, Jace, 12, turning ugly once camera crews began to film the MTV star's mother. 

Then boyfriend and now husband, David Eason receives a phone call from Jenelle, who opted to stay inside the car, mid-exchange.

"I especially did not want to give my mom any camera time […] now you're giving her like a whole episode."

David quickly ends his interaction with Barbara and hurries back to the car.

All the while Barbara questions: "What's wrong with her? Why won't she talk to me?"

True to form, the Teen Mom star's mother ignores the warnings from David and presses the issue, stating she needs to tell Janelle about "the popcorn thing."

A visibly and vocally annoyed Jenelle grows more and more irritated the closer her mother comes to the vehicle, "I'm not filming with my mom, my mom can get away".

With her temper already running high, emotions reached a boiling point when Barbara inquires about Jace's fundraiser.

"I don't care. I don't want to film with you at all, ever again in my life!"

Jenelle proceeds to rip out the cameras while accusing Barbara that "[being on camera] is all she wants and she doesn't want to give her son back."
