All the Reasons We're Seriously Worried About Jenelle Evans
There's no denying it: This season of Teen Mom 2 has been rough for Jenelle Evans. Of course, she's always been surrounded by drama wherever she goes, whether it's about custody of her children, her relationships, or the fact that she just can't get along with her mother. But lately, it's seemed worse than ever. And after watching her road rage incident play out on TV, we're more worried about where her future is headed than ever.
The last few months have been a rollercoaster for Jenelle -- and for her husband, David Eason. They're always doing or saying something controversial, and it has never seemed to sink in for Jenelle and David that their actions have consequences, even though we've been witnessing those consequences happening on the show all season long.
We're definitely always rooting for Jenelle, but we have to admit that lately, it's been hard to do so. She's constantly getting herself in hot water, whether it's with the law or with disapproving fans, and we honestly thought that she was finally settling down and getting back on the right track. What happened? She had really seemed to turn her life around, and we honestly thought she wasn't going to fall back into making the same mistakes she's made in her past over and over again. Sure, raising multiple children is stressful, and honestly, so is a new marriage. But we just hope Jenelle isn't in over her head at this point. It would be such a shame to see all of her hard work go to waste, especially now that she's living in her dream home, and building a life there.
Here are all the reasons why we're worried about Jenelle. Of course, she's been through the wringer and back before, but where she's headed has never been as unclear as it is now.
Her Road Rage Incident
We heard about Jenelle's road rage incident in the news, but we didn't quite grasp how bad it was until we saw it play out on the show. Following someone to their house who tailgated you is a bad enough idea, but pulling out your gun with your kid in the car? That's on another level -- especially since Jenelle didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with what she was doing.
David Eason's Temper
At first, it seemed like her husband was a good influence on Jenelle, but the more we see of David's temper, the worse we realize the situation at their house might be. We've seen where he's punched holes in the walls and we've witnessed him blow up at Jenelle's kids -- we don't even want to think about what might be happening when the cameras aren't around. Jenelle doesn't deserve that!
Everything Jace Says About Jenelle's House
This season, Barbara Evans and Nathan Griffith met up to discuss what things are like for Kaiser and Jace when they're at Jenelle's house, and it doesn't sound good. According to Jace, the kids are frequently getting yelled at and David has allegedly been hitting Kaiser -- and Jace has even been leaving using bad language he picked up at his mom's house. Not a good sign.
Her Ongoing Custody Battle for Kaiser
Earlier this summer, Nathan's mom refused to return Kaiser to Jenelle and David when her time with him came to an end, and it unfolded into a major situation involving police. Considering the fact that Nathan's mom filed for emergency custody not too long ago, it sounds like this battle is far from over -- and we have to wonder if she had a reason she didn't want Jenelle to have Kaiser back. What is she protecting him from?
David Getting Fired From 'Teen Mom 2'
After making homophobic remarks on Twitter and sharing photos and memes about guns, David was fired from Teen Mom 2 and isn't appearing on much of this season. We can't imagine that this development made Jenelle's home life any happier -- and we have a feeling David might not be too pleased that Jenelle continues to film without him.
Rumors Jenelle Is Leaving the Show
Now that David has been booted by MTV, does that mean that Jenelle is leaving too? There have been so many rumors that Jenelle has thrown in the towel or even that she's been fired herself. What's really going on?!
The Police Showed Up at Her House
This season on Teen Mom 2, the police showed up at Jenelle's unannounced to do a welfare check on her children, and as Jenelle pointed out to the officers who were at her door, this has been happening a lot lately, including an investigation by CPS. This doesn't sound like anything good to us, especially after seeing the way that David reacted to the situation.
Blue Apron Cutting Ties With Jenelle
There's been a little confusion over what exactly went down, but earlier this year, Blue Apron severed ties with Jenelle after fans tweeted them about her offensive social media activity (and her husband's). If Jenelle is losing gigs, that's not a good sign -- and if Blue Apron doesn't want to sponsor her, we have to wonder who might decide to back out next.
Her Tumultuous Relationship With Her Mom
Jenelle and Barbara have never had a great relationship, but sometimes, they've gotten along better than others, and this is not one of those times. She's been slamming her on Twitter, and when we see them interact on the show, it's never been a positive thing -- she's also refused to get lunch with her mom when she's asked. Being that Barbara obviously wants the best for her daughter, we're worried about Jenelle not having that support.
Drug Use Rumors
She's definitely struggled with them in the past, but lately, there have been rumors that Jenelle is back on drugs, and we're so worried about her. At the end of 2017, a report surfaced from an insider claiming that she'd relapsed and was doing hard drugs again -- and we're seriously hoping it's not true.
Co-star Tension
It's been obvious for a while that Jenelle's relationship with her Teen Mom 2 co-stars is strained, but lately, it's been worse than ever. In fact, she barely interacted with them at the reunion last season, and Jenelle has even gone out of her way to slam Chelsea Houska whenever she gets the chance. Considering the fact that they could be a huge support system for her if she let them, this is definitely concerning.
New Pregnancy Rumors All the Time
Lately, there have been rumors that Jenelle is pregnant, and if you ask us, this might not be the best time for that. If she can't figure out that following someone with a gun is a bad idea with one of her kids in the car (or even without her kids, really), we're not sure if having another baby is a good plan. Besides, her life has been so hectic lately. She should probably take a break.
Divorce Rumors
It seems like almost every week, there's a rumor that Jenelle and David are getting a divorce. Given his temper, if they really are headed for a split, it might not be worst thing that could happen to her. But divorce is still not easy, regardless of the circumstances.
