When Jennifer Del Rio and Josh Smith appeared on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, they were supposed to show the struggles of young parenthood. Instead, their episode spiraled into one of the show’s most explosive and disturbing stories. Behind the edited fights and tearful confessionals were restraining orders, police reports, and accusations that Jennifer had gotten pregnant to be cast on the show. This week, we revisit the volatile relationship that blurred the line between teenage drama and domestic violence, exploring how MTV turned their chaos into entertainment and what happened when the cameras stopped rolling.
