In her book, Messer also confesses that she had an abortion while with her ex-husband Jeremy and claimed she suffered a miscarriage to Jeremy and the cameras. This bombshell has fans shaken up.

In the memoir, Leah admits she was struggling with her feelings for ex-husband Corey Simms and was afraid if she had a child with Jeremy it would end her chances of reconciling with Corey. She and her mother cooked up a plan of pretending to miscarry to the show and her husband.

Although facing major backlash for this, Leah is confessing that this lie tore her up inside and it is time for the truth. She admitted to her ex Jeremy privately first and then in her book for fans. "I carried the pain and the guilt around with me for years, until I finally got to the point where I could hold myself accountable for my choices without punishing myself for them."
