In town for the MTV Video Music Awards, her first time being invited despite being a long time star of the channel, the reality star was getting her sunshine fix.

There was no missing the 23-year-old - and her surgeon-assisted curves - in a black and silver trimmed bikini.

The star carried a pair of tiny denim cut offs that, even when she popped them on to head to her car, did little to cover up her toned and tattooed physique.

Strolling along the golden sands and splashing in the blue water was no doubt a treat for the Teen Mom star who just a week ago could not have been further away from beach if she tried.

On August 20, the reality star was arrested for allegedly throwing a glass at her ex-fiance's girlfriend.

Which was the 13th time she has been taken into custody since appearing on MTV's controversial Teen Mom 2 show, mostly on drug related charges.

The television personality was taken into custody after an altercation broke out when her former fiance Nathan Griffith showed up at her South Carolina home to collect his belongings.

During the melee the mother-of-two came out of the house and allegedly hurled the drinking glass at the 29-year-old woman, which is said to have hit her on the head, according to TMZ.

The reality star was arrested for third-degree assault but her representative said she felt 27-year-old Griffith, was purposely provoking her by bringing over his girlfriend, even though the couple had split in early August.

Jenelle's past struggles have led her to losing custody of her first child Jace, 6, who is now looked after by her mother Barbara.

The result of this situation has seen the mother daughter duo have an explosive relationship which has been duked out on the small screen and in court.

While estranged at times, looks like the pair have patched things up for the moment with Janelle's mom flying in later on Saturday afternoon.

Jenelle and her mom immediately ordered up some poolside drinks at the Lowes Hotel Hollywood.

Perhaps forgetting where she came from, Janelle captioned an Instagram: 'We are both kid free for once in our life! Cheers.'

The mother and daughter then headed for a dinner at nearby Italian restaurant to continue to celebrate not having Jenelle's little ones with them - the reality star does have custody of one-year-old Kaiser whom she shares with her ex-fiance.

Speaking to Too Fab about the incident with her ex, Jenelle put the blame on him for bringing the woman to her new home.

She said: 'I moved away from where I used to live with Nathan and I’m actually a lot calmer and a lot happier and I’m just happy I don’t have to deal with any of his charades anymore.

'It [incident] shouldn't have happened. I told him numerous times not to bring [his new girlfriend] to my house. [My new home] is two hours away from him, so it's pretty far and I don't have to worry about seeing them around town or having another altercation like that.'

The star is no stranger to being arrested and has racked up a gallery of mug shots after arrests for heroin possession, attacking her former husband Courtland Rogers, stalking, harassment, breaking and entering, violating her restraining order and infamously beating up another girl on a front lawn.
