Teen Mom Ashley Jones claps back at claims that MTV PAYS star and her costars for every child they welcome
ASHLEY Jones has clapped back hard at a fan who claimed MTV pays the Teen Mom stars to keep having children.
The reality star shares daughter Holly, four, with Bar Smith.
The debate , after one user noted: "Damn, these kids from Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 out here living in mansions!
"What's MTV paying these kids?"
Among the responses, one follower answered: "Maybe they got a bonus for each new baby!"
Well, Ashley got wind of the tweet, and was seemingly in no mood to laugh out loud about it.

"Can y’all stop saying this." she snapped on Twitter. "We don’t get paid per baby."
Instead, the 25-year-old explained the money goes into what is known as a Coogan account, named after the Jackie Coogan Law, which requires 15% of the child actor's gross earnings be set aside and monitored – but not withdrawn – by a legal guardian until the child reaches a legal age.
Or, as Ashley explained: "Our kids cash CAN NOT be touched as it is protected by state laws that govern child 'actors' and how their money needs to be deposited AND what account is needs to be deposited into."
STRESS BREAK
If her response seems a bit scathing, the star has admitted to being a little high strung, after planning her secret wedding to husband Bar.
