Since her diagnosis, Leah has handled her daughter’s illness in front of the cameras. Sometimes though, the worst parts don’t make it on-screen.
As Ali gets older, she and Leah reveal the new challenges and changing needs of her condition. In the last season of Teen Mom 2, we’ve watched heartbreaking moments of Leah explaining to Ali that she needs to use her helmet and wheelchair and that these differences make her strong.
Leah has frequently shared pictures of Aleeah’s cheer tournaments without controversy. However, Leah shared a picture of Ali that has fans divided.
Leah posted a picture of Ali competing with her special needs cheer team. They do routines with Aleeah’s team as well. In the picture, Ali is a flyer, meaning that the young girls are responsible for holding her up and keeping her safe. Even though Ali is enjoying herself, fans were outraged by Leah’s choice.
