Although Messer has remained fairly silent in regard to the issue (aside from an Us Weekly interview in which she claims there had been mistakes made during her hearing), Corey Simms' dad recently shared a tweet with fans. Unfortunately, he was forced to defend himself a short time later.

The tweet above, which Jeff retweeted after claiming a judge ruled in the best interest of his grandchildren, was met with several reactions from fans, including those below.

"omg. People wtf. A judge decided. And they are better off. Corey is a great dad."

"Ignore them, those girls are safer with M and C. U don't owe anyone an explanation."

"It is not fair to make assumptions based on what you see in a one hour television show.

"Furthermore, she was warned to remedy things or lose custody. Courts make decisions based on the CHILDS best interest!"

"It is VERY hard to take children from their mother. The judge must have had an abundance of evidence."

On October 13, as In Touch Weekly revealed, Corey was named as the primary custodian of Messer's twins due to the fact that she would allegedly show up to her daughters' school either late or not at all.
