“Anyone else notice the HORDE of prescription drugs sitting out on [Jenelle and David]’s counter?” wrote reddit user Signature_wehr, attaching a screen cap of the most recent episode of Teen Mom 2. Behind Jenelle, there appear to be about a dozen prescription bottles on her counter.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with using medication as needed, and with a family of seven, it’s no shock that Jenelle and David may have several medications for themselves and their children. However, given Jenelle’s history with addiction, fans were quick to think the worst of the picture.
“i’m so compelled by jenelle’s sinking house situation, i [100%] believe she is under enormous stress and is coping with whatever she can,” wrote reddit user lavendersnail. “i feel scared for the kids, but we have no footage of jenelle nodding out (leah style) and until we do, maybe the drugs that are there are necessary and not being abused.” User castlesandcrumpets theorized, “Benzos for everyone!”
User youmaybetheproblem wrote, “I will never understand why two seemingly healthy young adults need to take so many meds.” User saskacat even wrote, “She looks methed out. That’s a lotta pills.”
But for every fan who found this alarming, there were several who saw it as no big deal at all.
