Responding to haters? Old hat for Jenelle.
Jenelle Evans is no stranger to controversy, but this new one has to hurt (or, maybe, confound a little bit). The mother-of-three has found herself at the center of another scandal and this time, it looks like it's all thanks to a poorly lit Instagram photo of her newborn daughter Ensley.
Being the seasoned-pro at handling gossip that she is though, Jenelle is not taking this one lying down.
Here we go again...
The soon-to-be-wed Jenelle Evans is the hot topic in the Teen Mom rumor mill once again—and seriously, guys, this might be the wildest gossip yet.
Thanks to a new (and adorable) photo of her months-old daughter, Ensley, Jenelle is essentially being accused of sleeping around on her fiancé David Eason and lying to him and the world about whether he’s really Ensley’s father.
No, seriously. It’s all based on one photo.
Really?
The rumors all started when Evans posted a photo of the child to Instagram about ten days ago. While most of the comments gushed over how adorable baby Ensley is and how much she looks like her brothers, her mom, and her father, the expected Insta haters were also around to add their two-cents.
Speculation
Fans immediately began speculating that Ensley couldn't possibly be David Eason's child because she looks "mixed." Despite the fact that the rumors literally started on that Instagram post, they spread like wildfire with new stories about Ensley's disputed paternity popping up left and right.
Papa Kieffah?
The most persistent (and probably most annoying) part of the rumors? That universally-panned ex-boyfriend Kieffer Delp was the father due to the baby's apparently "mixed" complexion. I put it in quotes because it's 1) so absurd, 2) kind of racist, and 3) none of our business, but anyway, I digress.
So, yes, because commenters thought baby Ensley's skin looked "too dark" in that one picture (yes, just this one picture, none of the others), Jenelle has not only been accused of cheating on David, having a baby with that other man, and lying about it but allegations that she's hanging around with Delp once again don't bode well for the star.
The Delp
For those of you who don't know, Kieffer is hated in the Teen Mom world for very good reason: He is a person from Jenelle's wild past—a past that she's trying hard to put behind her. Although she recently disclosed that she's had occasional contact with her ex, being linked to him intimately could be bad news for her custody battle for Jace!
It's no wonder she unequivocally shut down the totally unfounded rumors as fast as she could—and she had a little help.
"F*** the media!"
Shockingly, another ex came out of the woodwork to defend Jenelle.
Yep, legal foe and co-parent to Kaiser, Nathan Griffin, stepped up to the plate for Evans. Although he word choices might not have been the best (the R-word, Nathan? Really?), he came out swinging for his baby mama, saying that she was only back with Kieffer for a short while and that was after her split from Griffith—which was two years ago.
The Truth
As for Evans, she set the record straight, herself. The star spoke to The Dirty on Monday and told them in no uncertain terms what she thought of the rumors of disputed paternity, relationships on the rocks, and alleged pending DNA tests:
"That's ridiculous," Evans told them, adding that the rumors were totally, completely, "not true."
