She's speaking out! Jenelle Evans is telling her side of the story, after a media outlet published audio from a 911 call made by her husband, David Eason, over the welfare of their daughter, Ensley. It was reported earlier this week that David made the call on Jenelle's mom, Barbara Evans, for allegedly locking the 2-year-old in her room so she could take a shower.

Jenelle explained that she was FaceTiming with her son Jace when she overheard a concerning interaction between her mom and daughter.

Barbara currently has custody of two of Jenelle's children -- She's had custody of Jace, 9, since he was a baby, but she recently gained temporary custody of Ensley, 2, after CPS had all the children removed from Jenelle and David's home.

As Jenelle explained about their recent 911 call against Barbara, "David and I were on FaceTime with Jace when we heard my mom say to Ensley, 'Come here, I have to take a shower.' Then she took Ensley in the other room, and we immediately heard her screaming and crying."

"We asked Jace what was going on, and he said my mom locked Ensley in the bedroom so she can take a shower," the mom of three added. "We told Jace to get the door open, and when he couldn't get the door open, we called 911 for help because all we could hear was Ensley screaming."

TMZ published David's 911 call in which he expressed great concern for Ensley.-placeholder

TMZ published David's 911 call in which he expressed great concern for Ensley.

"My mother-in-law has locked my 2-year-old child in the bedroom so that she could take a shower, and now she can't get the door open, and my child is freaking out," he said on the 911 recording. "She's been screaming on the phone for the past five to 10 minutes."

He also requested that the incident be reported to CPS, but was told that he'd have to do that during a follow-up with law enforcement.

After David disturbingly admitted to shooting and killing Jenelle's French bulldog Nugget for allegedly nipping at Ensley after the toddler got in his face, CPS launched a new investigation on the parents. A judge later ordered that all the children in the home be removed. Ensley went to live with Barbara and Jace, and Jenelle's son Kaiser, 5, went to his dad, Nathan Griffith. David's daughter Maryssa, 11, is reportedly with her mom's side of the family.

Along with losing her children, Jenelle was also fired from MTV in the aftermath of the shooting, and her recent truce with her mom has been "destroyed."

We know Jenelle wants to stand by her man, but when will enough be enough?-placeholder

How much does she have to lose before she'll be willing to ditch this bad news dude? We may never know exactly what happened to prompt this latest 911 call against Barbara, but it probably wouldn't be an issue if Jenelle prioritized her children over her abusive husband. Here's to hoping she wakes up to the red flags -- sooner rather than later.
