What a career pivot! Leah Messer revealed her new job as a server, a big change from her previous positions on Teen Mom 2.

Although the MTV star seems excited about the opportunity, it seems likely that she had to take the gig to pay some of her latest bills.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Leah owed almost $800k in unpaid taxes.

After her most recent lien, she spoke out about her massive tax debt, promising that she was working on the situation. Evidently that plan includes additional sources of income.

“I have worked with many different accountants over the years,” Leah explained to In Touch. “At first, I was filing and paying more than I was making and then I was paying people that had me stall while ‘they handled the tax situation.’ Apparently it’s a long process.”

According to the mother of three, unprecedented times of the past few years also affected her situation. She remarked, “Then in 2020, the IRS was backed up like the entire world due to COVID.”

In 2020, the IRS put tax liens on Leah totaling almost $450k going back to the years 2015, 2017, and 2019.

Her most recent charges were for $290,297.46, according to The U.S. Sun.

However, the 31-year-old is clearly working on a solution. She disclosed her position as a server in a recent Instagram story.

Leah filmed herself wearing a black button-up shirt and has her brown hair pulled back.

“So I’m going into my shift,” stated the reality star. “Um, I started a new job serving.”

“I absolutely love it, love it, love it, love it,” she insisted before reminding her followers to watch a new episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
