Another day, another bizarre update in the increasingly sad saga of Jenelle Evans. As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle lost custody of her kids last month. For most parents, that would be the end of the public spectacle, as they would remove themselves from social media and all other platforms in order to focus on regaining custody and avoid further damage to their reputation. But that's not the case with Jenelle. No, Jenelle is still posting online and engaging in very public altercations with members of her own family. Probably not the smartest behavior for a woman who's trying to prove that she's capable of providing a stable home for her children. But when have we ever known Jenelle to engage in smart behavior? Take a look at her latest outbursts : 1. Jenensley Jenelle posted a photo of herself with daughter Ensley on Instagram today. Obviously, it was a throwback pic, as Jenelle lost custody of the 2-year-old last month. 2. Jenellfie Jenelle also posted this selfie. As many commenters pointed out, she looks pretty happy for someone who just lost custody of her kids. 3. Back On Her BS But it’s the captions to Jenelle’s photos — rather than the photos themselves — that have garnered the most attention from her followers. 4. Keep Telling Yourself That … “It’s the little things in life,” Evans wrote. “With everything that has been going on lately, I’ve come to realize a child’s love for their mother will never fade.” 5. The Delusion Is Strong With This One “No distance, not time, no person can change that special love,” she continued. 6. Did It Burn When You Put It On? From there, Jenelle explained the significance of this piece of jewelry. View Slideshow
More shocking developments in the increasingly sad saga of former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans today. The disgraced reality star has once again failed to convince a judge that she's capable of providing a safe environment for her children. Jenelle and husband David Eason appeared in court on Friday, and multiple outlets have confirmed that their latest custody hearing did not work out in the couple's favor. According to The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Evans' 2-year-old daughter was placed with her controversial grandmother , Barbara Evans. Meanwhile, sources tell celebrity gossip stalwart Radar Online that David's infamous temper got the best of at the worst possible time. Here's everything we know about how it all went down: 1. Another Rough Day In Court Jenelle and David went before a judge on Friday for the second time since their children were removed from their home by CPS earlier this month, following an investigation sparked by his brutal execution of Jenelle’s dog Nugget. 2. Fractured Family At that time, 4-year-old Kaiser was placed with his father, Nathan Griffith, while 2-year-old Ensley and 11-year-old Maryssa were placed with Maryssa’s maternal grandmother. 3. An Odd Arrangement Maryssa is David’s daughter from a previous relationship. The arrangement in which Ensley was placed in a home where she has no biological relatives was confusing to many – including, it seems, the judge. 4. What’s Best For the Kids “It made sense to the judge why Maryssa was with [her mother] Whitney’s mom, but it did not make sense that Ensley was there too, as Ensley is not related to Maryssa’s grandma in any way, so the judge ordered Ensley be moved to a family member’s care,” a source tells The Ashley. 5. Another Relocation According to The Ashley, Barbara was originally to serve as Ensley’s caretaker when she was taken from Jenelle’s home, but the toddler wound up at her other grandmother’s instead. 6. At Least She’s Safe Maryssa will remain with the mother of Whitney Johnson, who appeared at David and Jenelle’s first custody hearing last week. View Slideshow
In the social media era, reality TV producers are faced with some unique challenges. The biggest problem, of course, is that by the time an episode airs, the storylines are often old news thanks to the stars of the show airing their dirty laundry online. Fortunately, in some cases, the drama is so wild that viewers will tune in even though they already know what's gonna happen. Take, for example, Monday night's episode of Teen Mom 2, in which Barbara Evans threatened to kill Kailyn Lowry . Sure, fans watched it all unfold on Instagram Live back in January, but it was such a shocking moment that they reacted with shock all over again last night. Take a look: 1. It Begins The trouble started when Jenelle and Barbara decided to hop on Instagram Live during a girls’ trip. 2. Drama Queens “I’ve been kind of overwhelmed with all the drama in my life, so my mom wanted to take me out of town for the weekend,” Jenelle explained in a voice-over. 3. Better Luck Next Time! Needless to say, the little excursion only created even greater drama! 4. The Brittany Factor Briana DeJesus’ sister, Brittany, eventually joined the chat from afar. This seemingly prompted Babs to step up her drunken antics. 5. She Went There “We’ll all get lit and we’ll kill Kail,” an intoxicated Babs shouted at one point. 6. Too Little, Too Late Jenelle, who had also been drinking, quickly attempted to defuse the situation. View Slideshow
In the early days of reality television, a large part of the appeal was that viewers could identify with the stars on their screen. These days, however, cast members on hit reality shows share very little in common with their viewers. Take Jenelle Evans, for example. Sure, you might have a friend with an arrest record a mile long, three kids by three different baby daddies, and an overly-chummy relationship with illicit substances, but that friend probably isn't gainfully employed. And if she is, she almost certainly doesn't talk to bosses the way Jenelle does. Fans were floored to see Evans berate Teen Mom 2 producers during Monday night's episode, and many think her outburst may be the result of a full-blown meltdown. Take a look: 1. Jenelle’s Meltdown Jenelle didn’t appear in this week’s episode of TM2 for very long. But during her short time on screen, she made quite an impression. 2. Small Role Jenelle’s screen time has been slashed dramatically this season, primarily as a result of her husband, David Eason, being fired from the show. 3. Making It Worse Producers never planned to punish Jenelle for the homophobic tirade that got David fired, but her role on the show wound up being reduced due to Eason’s actions. 4. Menacing Dave There have been reports of David “menacing” the cast and Jenelle refusing to film without her husband. 5. Big Bluff? Of course, she hasn’t made good on that threat, as doing so would mean walking away from a six-figure salary and the only job she’s ever had. 6. New Co-Star And so, Jenelle continues to film — but far less often than she used to, and with Barbara Evans taking David’s place as the sounding board for Evans’ many complaints. View Slideshow
Well folks, it looks like the neverending feud between Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans has kicked into high gear once again. The latest round of trash talk comes from a surprising source — Jenelle’s controversial mother, Barbara Evans. Over the weekend Jenelle joined co-star Briana DeJesus for an impromptu Instagram Live session that featured some boozy cameos from Babs. “My mom and I are out of town for a mother/daughter weekend and filming our trip,” Jenelle told her followers. “We had some drinks at dinner and came back to the Airbnb to drink a little more. I randomly got on Instagram and saw Brittany [DeJesus] was live so I decided to join in, especially since my mom was with me.” At one point, an obviously intoxicated Barbara “joked” that she wants to ” kill Kail ” — a remark that Lowry and many others didn’t find particularly humorous. During the live feed, Babs received a call from Teen Mom 2 co-executive producer Kristen Schylinski who was understandably less than thrilled with the situation. “I need you to tell Kail that you are joking… there’s a huge sh-t storm… ,“ Kristen told Barbara on the phone. “How could you say that? …Tell her you were joking because you are, you don’t want to kill Kail,” “So earlier, I was talking to Brittany, Briana’s sister, and I said that I wanted to kill Kail and it was, everybody took it out of perspective because that’s not really what I meant. I was just doin’ a joke,” Babs slurred during the live session. “Yeah, it was only a joke,” she added. “I was only joking with Brittany, it was like I was being sarcastic, so I mean, and everybody like freaks out like I wanna go and kill the girl. “Come on, I’ve know the girl for 10 years…You can’t say anything in the public without people like freaking out, saying ya know, ‘I’m gonna go out and kill the girl with a gun.’” “It was a stupid f-king joke, just chill the f-ck out,” Jenelle quipped in response to her mom’s apology. Not surprisingly, Kail fails to see the humor in the situation. “I’m not filming until something is done,” Kail told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup on Monday. “It’s about the principle at this point,” Lowry added. “The producers say they’re handling it. I gave them my attorney’s info and told the producers to contact my attorney and not to contact me.” Yes, it seems Kail is “pulling a Jenelle” by refusing to film, but unlike Mrs. Eason, she has good reason for taking a stand. Not surprisingly, Jenelle is doing her best to downplay the situation, as she’s likely well aware that if producers are forced to choose between her and Kail, they’re sure to go with the latter option. Jenelle tells Hollywood Life that Barb “is really upset everyone took it the wrong way and is still upset about it at this moment,” but then she then proceeds to make light of the situation. “My producer understood [it was a joke] and just reminded my mom not to use those types of words because of how offended the world gets these days,” Jenelle told the site. “We haven’t received anymore calls from our other producers so I guess they know my mom’s intentions were just to make a joke,” she added. “My mom doesn’t like Kail because my mom knows that Kail is a troublemaker and experienced it firsthand at the last reunion that I did not attend last season.” Sounds like Jenelle is eager to move on from the situation, but Kail — and the show’s producers — may not feel the same.

If you keep up with Teen Mom gossip, then you know that Jenelle Evans and Kailyn Lowry do not get along. Like, at all. Even though they used to be friends back in the early days of Teen Mom 2, things turned sour between them, and now they pretty much hate each other. But do they hate each other enough to make death threats? Apparently so … 1. The Apple and the Tree Jenelle and her mother, Barbara, are getting along again, and that’s great, truly. 2. Hard Times Their relationship was in a bad place for a long time after she began dating David Eason, and there was quite a stretch there when they didn’t even speak to each other. 3. Yay! Luckily they were able to reconnect last summer, and ever since then, they’ve been spending time together. 4. Dang It, David It’s a good thing, too, since David has seriously gone off the rails and, you know, he’s allegedly been abusive to Jenelle. 5. A Miracle So that’s a happy little story, right? Jenelle’s life is one great big giant mess, and it’s an absolute blessing that she’s been able to reconnect with Barbara. Right? 6. Well … Not so fast. View Slideshow
If there's one thing we know about Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 fame, it's that she never backs down from a confrontation. Sometimes this means a war of words, other times actual violence against those who cross the Carolina Hurricane's path. Below, we've taken a trip down memory lane and relived some of her most turbulent, and violent, moments over the years. Boyfriends, husbands, girlfriends, random people talking s–t … her own mom … no one is safe when it comes to Jenelle. No one. 1. Jenelle Beats the Ever-Loving Crap Out of Britany Truett Savage. Evans was caught on video absolutely annihilating Britany Truett in Oak Branch, N.C., in 2011. She was later arrested after the video surfaced and charged with assault. Deservedly so, given the extent of this beat down. Truett says Jenelle came at her in a fit of jealousy after Evans’ sometime boyfriend Kieffer Delp was flirting with Truett; Delp was arrested the same day as the fight for cocaine possession. 2. Jenelle’s Classic Fight with Tori Rhyne Jenelle Evans has managed to keep one friend for the majority of her time on Teen Mom 2: a girl named Tori Rhyne. But that relationship soon soured, and things were not always great between them even in the best of times. Witness the INSANE, hair-pulling melee that occurred in this infamous scene during which Jenelle was moving out of the residence they shared … Kieffah and Tori’s BF also got in on the action. 3. Jenelle’s Classic Fight with Barbara: I SEE YOU WIFF KIEFFAH! Jenelle Evans and her mother, Barbara, got into a shocking, iconic fight in the first season of Teen Mom 2. This is that fight. Any fan of the show has likely repeated Babs’ quotes from this scene in the years since: I SEE YOU WIFF KIEFFAH! I hope you have fun livin’ in the streets with ya booooooooyfriend! 4. Jenelle Wishes Death Upon an American Soldier Jenelle Evans got into a pretty heated argument during a trip with Nathan Griffith three years ago – a trip meant to celebrate their engagement, believe it or not – and appears to wish death on a U.S. soldier in the process of yelling at him. As the person filming this says, that is some f–ked up s–t right there. 5. Jenelle Evans-David Eason Wedding Fight Long-rumored but never before heard, it’s Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans & David Eason’s explosive pre-wedding fight!!! Crank up the volume and hear them yell at each other like mortal enemies the night before they tied the knot; Jenelle called off the wedding, briefly, but they did go through with it. Dave sounds pretty livid with her at one point. 6. Jenelle vs. Kieffah The mercurial Jenelle Evans and her useless ex-boyfriend Kieffer Delp in more memorable scenes together from Teen Mom 2, 2010-2013. She sure has been with a cast of unsavory characters over the years, but Kieffah may be the most memorable. Not in a good way, just the most memorable. View Slideshow
Jenelle Evans, her husband, David Eason, and her mom, Barbara Evans took at least a couple of Jennelle's kids to a pumpkin patch on Sunday. It's a pretty normal activity for the second half of October. It's seasonally appropriate. The pictures that you're about to see of Jenelle's children, Jace and Ensley, playing among the pumpkins are adorable. But this visit to a pumpkin patch comes just one week after Jenelle Evans was rushed to the hospital following a shocking 911 call . In the chilling call to emergency services, Jenelle revealed that she sustained injuries following a physical attack by her husband. Now, she's insisting that everything is fine — and wants these photos to help you forget all about that scandal. 1. David Eason posted a lot of the photos Jenelle deleted her Twitter to “take a break” from social media, but they’re both still showing you the side of their family that they WANT you to see on Instagram. 2. Focus on the pumpkins, not the abuse scandal There was no sign of Kaiser in these photos. 3. Say what you will about Jenelle, but she makes some cute kids It was admittedly sweet to see Jace and Ensley get to spend time together in a safe environment 4. Ensley is getting to be a handful Ever held a small child when they’re through being held? It’s not as easy as it sounds 5. Barbara was in on the whole visit We wonder if she knew that these photos would be used as a smokescreen to distract from Jenelle’s recent 911 call 6. Ensley is genuinely cute, folks But not all of Jenelle’s followers were so easily distracted … View Slideshow
It's been less than two weeks since Jenelle Evans and David Eason got married in front of a small group of guests at their home. Since that eventful day in North Carolina, however, rumors are flying about what's next for the tumultuous Teen Mom 2 couple. The Easons previously stated that they weren't planning on having more children together in the foreseeable future, but, well … Reports that Jenelle is pregnant with her fourth child seem to be everywhere on social media, and she's done little to quiet them. Check out the gallery below to find out why so many fans are convinced Jenelle is expecting … and tell us if you buy it. 1. Mr. and Mrs. Eason! Jenelle and David got married on September 24. The baby rumors began flying almost immediately after the couple said “I do” … which wouldn’t be that unusual for many young, newly-married couples. The craziness between these two prior to their exchange of vows, though … 2. The Night Before Not even 24 hours before they got hitched, Jenelle and David reportedly got into such a bad argument that she slammed her ring on the table and called the wedding off. Obviously, they ended up going through with it, but for reasons that remain unclear, many witnesses were convinced they were fighting about her unplanned pregnancy. 3. The Plot Thickens The rumor gained traction after a photo of Jenelle that surfaced shortly after wedding. Not just any photo, but one that (according to many of her followers on social media) was worth a thousand words. 4. Jumping to Conclusions On Twitter, Teen Mom 2 fans are alread blasting Jenelle for getting knocked up again. Are these armchair detectives and analysts basing that on anything in particular, you ask? 5. False Evidence Don’t believe the hype … if it’s attached to this photo at least. The above image has been making its way across social media as proof that Jenelle is pregnant, but it’s likely over a year old. Jenelle and her mother, Barbara Evans (pictured), don’t appear to be on speaking terms these days. 6. Jenelle’s Midriff Jenelle’s taking to posting photos like this to prove to fans she’s not expecting, but one key piece of evidence has led many to the conclusion that she’s lying… View Slideshow
It hasn’t been the best week for Jenelle Evans. In fact, we’d wager that she hasn’t looked this bad in quite some time. First off, she lost her custody battle for her oldest son, Jace — or, well, she didn’t so much lose it as she did agree to stop pursuing it. On Wednesday, and and her mother, Barbara Evans, had mediation in which they both agreed to a new visitation agreement. Barbara would maintain full custody of Jace, as she has for nearly eight years now, and Jenelle would get him every other weekend, for a couple of weeks during the summer, and for certain holidays. There were also several rules put in place to protect Jace: no one could use drugs or drink excessively around him, they’re required to be respectful of each other around him. It’s a pretty nice setup, but the niceness didn’t last for long. On Friday, Jenelle went on an epic Twitter rant , bashing poor Barbara and threatening to write a tell-all to reveal her deepest, darkest secrets. She also claimed that she had a plan and a reason for not pursuing custody of Jace. Then, a little later, a video mysteriously surfaced that showed Jenelle and her boyfriend, David Eason, accusing Barbara of drinking and driving with Jace, along with some other kids, in the car. Was that part of her plan? It sure seemed like it. Barbara didn’t seem drunk at all, and Jenelle and David were mercilessly taunting her. If anything, the video made them look bad, not her. But hey, drinking and driving might sway a judge’s opinion on who should have custody, right? It’s a mess, that’s for sure. And in this new interview Barbara did with Us Weekly, it seems like she’s fully aware. To start, Babs felt the need to defend herself by saying “I just want people to know that I’m not trying to keep Jace away from my daughter.” “I have to protect him from certain situations. I don’t hate my daughter,” she insisted. “All of this was because I love Jace. Jace has a great life at my house: he’s going to school — he finishes in a couple weeks — he has friends now, he’s in Boy Scouts and he’s going to summer camp!” It sounds like the kid really does have a great life — and it’s not a stretch to think that Jenelle might not be as good about keeping up his extracurricular activities. “I think that in the end, our whole family will be very happy,” Barbara continued. “My main concern was that my daughter and I would have a very drawn out court battle, and luckily that was not the case.” “I love her and don’t want to fight with her in a courtroom! It actually went much more smoothly than I could have hoped.” Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about her relationship with her daughter, which she said is “very, very strained right now, as it usually is.” “She hates me. I think as time goes on, it will get better between us. I have to believe that because she’s my daughter.” Barbara represented us all when she added “I’m not sure why Jenelle doesn’t see that I have the best home to raise Jace in.” “I do not think Jenelle is putting Jace’s well-being before her happiness. Of course she wants Jace to live with her, but she isn’t thinking that my house may be a better place, especially while she’s with David.” Remember, Barb has said that David is Jenelle’s worst boyfriend ever — which is really saying something. Jenelle’s dated guys that have introduced her to heroin, guys who have physically abused her, guys that are named Nathan Griffith. If David is the worst … does Barbara have room at her house for Kaiser and Ensley, too? In closing, we remain, now and forever, #TeamBabs. View Slideshow: Barbara Evans: A Tribute to Jenelle’s Mahhh
