Ryan Edwards' mom, Jen Edwards, is furious with his ex-girlfriend, Dalis Connell, who recently spoke out about the "Teen Mom OG" dad's alleged past drug use. Following an interview with Radar Online, in which the fitness enthusiast claimed Edwards had reportedly sought treatment for substance abuse in 2012, Jen has taken to Twitter with a message slamming Connell for being hungry for attention and money.
"Once again this one needs some attention and money!!" Jen wrote in her tweet, via a report by Starcasm. She also added that Connell had allegedly gotten quite a bit of her story wrong.
However, in response, Connell shut down Jen's claims that she was paid for the interview and said she was simply answering a question she was asked. She also made a point to remind Jen that she had done her the courtesy of keeping her alleged family secret to herself for nearly five years.
Dalis Connell revealed details of Ryan Edwards' past struggles earlier this week
As her tweets continued, Connell told Jen Edwards that she could have easily made money off her story when she was starring on "Teen Mom" during her relationship with Ryan Edwards but she didn't do so. Instead, she waited until the story was already exposed to reveal what she knew of the reality dad's alleged drug use.
Edwards and Connell dated for two years until their relationship ended in 2012.
At the time, Connell said Edwards was using pills and attempted unsuccessfully to get help in an outpatient rehab facility. Sadly, the reality star's efforts were allegedly in vain and after spending just a week getting help, he relapsed.

While Jen appears to be quite upset with Connell, she hasn't said much of anything when it comes to Maci Bookout's comments about her son on the episode of the MTV reality show that aired two Mondays ago.
As fans will recall, Bookout was first to come forward with Edwards' alleged struggles and did so during a filmed conversation with Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout. She then spoke of the issue again during a conversation with her husband, Taylor McKinney, and revealed that she often fears for Edwards' life.
To see more of Ryan Edwards and his family, including his parents and ex-girlfriend, Maci Bookout, tune in to new episodes of the second half of "Teen Mom OG" season six, which airs on Monday nights at 9 p.m. on MTV.
