Teen Mom Star Amanda Conner Faces Stricter Drug Screening After DUI Arrest

Amanda Conner, best known for her role on MTV's Teen Mom, is facing a tougher battle following her recent DUI arrest. The mother of two was ordered by a Tennessee judge to undergo weekly drug screenings, upgrading from the previous random testing regime. According to court records obtained by Us, this ruling comes ahead of Conner's next court date scheduled for October 21st. The news was first reported by The Ashley's Reality Roundup. Conner has yet to comment on the judge's decision but shared a video from the courthouse on August 7th via TikTok, where she expressed her plans to visit her probation officer and head to work. Diddy's song "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" played in the background as she danced in her car. Back in May, Conner was arrested and charged with a DUI, also facing allegations of child abuse/neglect for having a baby in the vehicle at the time of the incident. In response to her arrest, Conner opened up on TikTok, expressing her feelings about relapsing after three years of sobriety. "I do know addiction does not care how long you’ve been clean, how much you’ve built, it doesn’t care about none of that," she stated, acknowledging the disappointment she caused to those who believed in her. In a more recent TikTok video on August 6th, Conner offered an update on her progress, sharing her focus on maintaining her sobriety by attending regular meetings and working as a cleaner for houses and restaurants.
