Long before she was officially introduced to MTV audiences, Amanda Conner actually made her first television appearance completely by accident.

In 2009, during the premier season of 16 and Pregnant, a young Maci Bookout was filmed attending an accelerated alternative high school program in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Decades later, Internet sleuths rewatching the episode noticed a striking resemblance in the background: a teenage Amanda Conner, sporting the classic late-2000s chunky blonde highlights, sitting in the very same classroom.

Though she was an unnamed background extra at the time, this small-town overlap laid the groundwork for her eventual entry into the Teen Mom ecosystem.

Amanda’s new situation

Amanda recently filmed herself drinking water before her drug test and fans didn’t like that.

“Amanda chugging water before a drug test. Manipulation dilute.” one fan commented.

“As a former addict I can say that overly diluted urine is a fail, I think she would know better by now, I think she’s simply having a drink 😅” another fan wrote.
