After the show taped, Lisa says Merry checked into the rehab facility and successfully completed her six-week program. "She went back to Ohio and delivered a very healthy baby girl whom she gave up, and about a week later she relapsed and is in jail as we speak," Lisa says.

Merry was charged with failure to appear in court and possession of drug abuse instruments and pled not guilty.

"Merry has this boyfriend who has not gotten the kind of treatment Merry has, or really treatment at all. So as long as the two of them stay in each other's lives, they're enabling each other."
