Busted!
Just because you fall head over heels in love with someone doesn’t always mean that you’ll feel the same way about their family. Many of the Teen Mom cast members have experienced this firsthand and have spent years feuding with their baby daddies’ families. In fact, sometimes it's their own families that are starting the feuding!
Jenelle Evans has had her fair share of feuds in her time on Teen Mom 2. In fact, she’s still in the midst of a feud with her own family. But Jenelle isn’t stingy when it comes to her battles, and she’s taken aim at some members of her husband David’s family as well.
Jenelle is also no stranger to the legal system. If she needed to get familiar again, here’s her chance!

"Shut up!"
Only a few season ago on Teen Mom 2, Jenelle Evans informed her mother that she’d met someone new on Tinder. Little did Barbara know that Jenelle’s new bae would soon become her baby daddy and husband, or that he would play a huge role in the crumbling of their relationship.
David Eason has been a controversial figure from the very beginning, but that hasn’t stopped Jenelle from defending anything he does. She’s sided with him on every issue, even when that means turning against her own mother. So is it a surprise that David has sided with Jenelle against his own sister, Jessica?
Jenelle and Jessica started feuding soon after she moved in with David. Jessica made it clear that she didn’t think that Jenelle was worthy of her brother. She spilled on a fan Facebook group, “[David] will always be my baby brother. I saved his life once as a baby. He was lying on the floor blue in the face, so I opened his mouth and saw a shiny coin in the back of his throat. I flipped him over and scooped it out! So when someone comes into his life, they get along with his family and we tight… Except this thang!”
Fans wanted more details about Jenelle, but Jessica was resistant at first. “I don’t wanna bash the poor girl,” she said. But that didn’t last for long.
Jessica soon added, “Ok u want more? I got the memo u still talking.. Ya smoked weed while pregnant….It must have been the fact that I din’t like half the tasteless crap u gave me.. I’m sorry boo boo.. Don’t u have some rehab and custody court to attend to? And my brother has pllleeennntyy of females STILL asking when he is kicking ya to the curb.. Line starts here >>>>... Don’t come at me ya drug addict pawning ya kids off left and right cuz you can’t handle them without David or my mama there to help u outta bed! Now shut up..”
T-Shirt Fight!
Of course, Jenelle didn’t take this lying down. She soon shot back, “You got fired from New Hanover Hospital for larceny then your husband sells your only vehicle for a motorcycle when you guys have 5 kids. Your husband smokes crack. You two pop Xanax all day and lay around the house.”
The feud has gotten shadier and shadier as time went on, and, oddly enough, it involved t-shirts on multiple occasions. Jenelle decided to get revenge on Jessica a few months later by leaving her nasty reviews on her T-Shirt business.
“Fake business!!!!” she stormed on the Expressive Shirts’ Facebook page. “This owner is psycho! She threatens people on a daily basis on social media saying she’s going to fight them and such. She also doesn’t own one piece of clothing at all and uses an ‘art’ app on her phone to copy and paste texts onto shirts without even testing them out herself. She tried stealing a logo from another company.”
According to Jenelle, she was even a customer of Jessica’s at one point. “I ordered a shirt a week ago and it’s still not here,” she continued. “I asked to be refunded and it’s taking forever! Really upset with this company! Never shopping here again.”
She finished off by raging, “Maybe if the owner wasn’t on drugs this business would be ran properly.”
Jessica had her own attack using t-shirts, too. When MTV aired footage of Jenelle’s son Kaiser screaming “Feed me,” fans became incredibly concerned that Kaiser was being mistreated. Apparently, Jessica thought this was pretty funny.
She soon began selling t-shirts specifically mocking Jenelle! or the price of $23.99, she sold a shirt on her website that read “#nommom #FeedKai.” On the back of the shirt is a crying face crying “Leave me alonnne!!” below which is listed “1-800-FEEDMEE.” Jessica also listed “Also donating 10% of proceeds to ‘Food For The Poor’ charity organization!”
Soon, Jessica went public with a half-apology half-beg to Jenelle. She claimed that Jenelle’s relationship with David has isolated him from the rest of his family, and that they miss him and want him back.
Missing Uncle David
“Christmas wasnt the same this year without my little brothers, and my nieces and nephews,” she wrote on an old picture of David and his family. “Every holiday, every year, we’ve always been together, same place, same time.. Time is flying past. I hope my parents will see our family together again before it’s too late.”
Apparently, David has almost entirely stopped spending time with his family, which Jessica seems to blame on Jenelle. She explained in the post:
“My kids have finally just stopped asking where their uncle David is. They went from seeing him almost everyday of their life to never seeing or hearing from him at all. Our family has never been through anything like this before; we’ve always been strong. But, David’s always [had] a good woman by his side. Not one that promotes hatred and is scared she’ll be alone bc she has no family.”
She even reached out to Jenelle directly, even if it was a bit passive-aggressive. “Jenelle, you’re still welcome. There’s not many of us that like u at this point, but that can change too- if you would open and defrost your heart. This is effecting [sic] more than just one person. It’s a shame, and a waste of precious time..”
Unfortunately, it’s Jessica herself who won’t be spending much time with her family now. After all, she’s just been locked up for drug charges!
Busted!
According to Starcasm, Jessica was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.
Online records discovered by the outlet reveal that Jenelle’s 38-year-old sister-in-law was booked around 3AM on May 21st with an official charge of felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. The outlet reports that Schedule II controlled substances have these characteristics: “Has a high potential for abuse; has accepted medical use with severe restrictions; and abuse may lead to physical or psychological dependence.” This category of drugs include “cocaine, raw opium, opium extracts – fluid and powder, codeine, hydrocodone, morphine, methadone, methamphetamine, Ritalin, and Adderall,” according to the site.
They also report that the first time someone is caught with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance it’s a misdemeanor, and it becomes a felony charge for the second offense.
Starcasm goes on to report that an unverified text from jessica has been circulating on Facebook. The text explains that Jessica was in court earlier in the year for a failure to appear for a speeding ticket. She was then searched and was found to be in possession of Adderall that wasn’t in a container. The text then claims that Jessica had a court appearance to prove she had a prescription.
It’s unclear exactly what happened during Jessica’s arrest, but what’s clear is that David does not miss his relationship with his sister.
“For all of you HATERS who listen to Jessica’s bullsh*t,” David wrote in a Facebook post. “Well here she is in the country jail on charges of being a f*cking crack head. SO there you go, THIS IS WHY I HAVENT TALKED TO HER IN 2 YEARS. This is why she makes up lies and slander about me because nobody will help her support her drug habit. I dont associate with drug addicts no matter if they’re family or not, they can never be trusted! The end.”
An unverified Twitter account that appears to be Jessica’s responded when David’s post circulated on Twitter. They confirmed the story, writing, “This liar right here... I had adderall in my pocket instead of in it's original container. I have to show proof in court today. That's it!! Unlike him and his nasty b*tch of a wife! Im not defending him anymore. That's it! Grow up David!”

Jenelle and Jessica’s feud has gone to some ugly places, but that’s not to say that all of the accusations were lies. In fact, Jenelle has admitted to smoking weed while she was pregnant with Jace !
Starcasm also published questions and answers that Jenelle published on her Formspring account back in 2010. In them, she fights with fans and viewers about her decision to smoke weed while she was pregnant with Jace!
One anonymous question came in, reading, “My opinion is that you as a person should be able to do what you want that makes you happy as long as it doesn’t affect jase negatively i still drink and i’m a mom, you just have to prioritize, just be the best mom you can be, and you’ll never regret.”
Jenelle responded: “Jace yu mean.. and yes i make sure when i DO smoke im not around him and when i get back home im not high. plussss.. the only time i DO smoke is after my mom gets home from work and my mom is watching Jace for the night and he is already in bed.”
Another asked, “I dont get how any mother can smoke weed when they are prego and endanger there child like that. please tell me that one.”
Jenelle responded: “uhmm… drinking while yr prego is WAY WORSE then smokin a lil bud. and some doctors even RECOMMEND TO THEIR PATIENTS that they should smoke if they are nauseous.”

Repeat Offendor
This may be shocking to many, but not to Jenelle’s fans (or haters). After all, she has also owned up to smoking weed while she was pregnant with Ensley!
Jenelle recently appeared on Vince Russo’s podcast, where she explained her reasoning.
“[Haters] were saying it was at the hospital when [Ensley] was born,” the host asks. “Is that true? If the baby tests positive, you can’t take the baby home, right?”
“Oh yeah!” Jenelle admits. “I’m not going to lie about that.” She reveals:
“I tested positive for THC and Ensley did not test positive, I did. So CPS [asked], ‘Did you smoke while you were pregnant?’ I said ‘I did within the past 30 days… I have really bad esophageal spasms and I throw up every 5 minutes, can’t even eat.’ [CPS] said, ‘Okay, some moms do that; we’re not here to judge.’”
She revealed that CPS planned to do a wellness check on Ensley after she was born. “Everything [was fine]; they closed the case,” she said. She revealed that CPS had come to her home numerous times due to “haters online who say that [she abuses] her kids.”
Even though Jenelle seemed perfectly nonchalant about her decision to use drugs while she was pregnant, her grandmother Doris has been taking it a lot more seriously. In fact, she’s used it as grounds to attempt to take custody of Kaiser.
In court documents obtained by Radar Online, it was claimed that “DSS became involved due to Ensley testing positive for marijuana and opened an investigation. Upon information and belief, both Plaintiff and David had positive drug screens for marijuana.”
Doris claimed that Jenelle “has an extensive history of drug use,” that returned while she was pregnant with Ensley. She continued, “Upon the birth of Ensley, the newborn tested positive for marijuana.”
Despite Jenelle’s claims, fans weren’t buying it either.
Calling CPS!
“As someone with an esophageal disease (spasms and nausea included) I got medication safe to take while pregnant after talking to my DOCTOR about it,” wrote Reddit user Iknowyous. “It would have been easy for her to do the same, This is an excuse and a poor one at that.”
User LittleDickBitchMatt wrote, “I doubt CPS told her it’s ok. If it was ok they wouldn’t have been testing them in the first place.”
User Shelovesthem80sbby was alarmed by how often CPS was stopping by Jenelle’s home. “How she casually talks about CPS is crazy,” they wrote. “I'm not sure if she understands that normal women who give birth, don't just have CPS visits as frequently as she does. It's not normal.”
This isn’t the only shade that Jenelle is getting from fans lately. Some believe that she and some of her co-stars could be guilty of promoting eating disorders!
Called Out
“#ad I’ve really been liking @flattummyco’s new lollipops that just dropped this week. They’re designed to suppress my appetite, and I find they’re already started working. Over the past couple days whenever I felt like snacking, I’ve been reaching for these lollipops instead, andI find I’m not eating anything else between meals. You gotta get your own. #suckit #flattummypops,” reads one of Jenelle’s recent Instagram posts. Another reads, “#ad I never thought I’d see the day that @flattummyco came out with LOLLIPOPS as a way to help keep my stomach looking flat, but they did! Since I have a massive sweet-tooth and I’m pretty much always chasing one of my kids around, this is pretty much the best it can get for me (yummy and convenient)! I get to have lollipops, keep my appetite in-check, and continue to work towards my goals for a fit + toned tummy. Yep, my cravings can #suckit. You guys should try these out with me – berry is definitely my favorite! #flattummypops.”
This isn’t the first time that the cast members have promoted a product meant to help consumers slim down, and it’s also not the first slightly suspect product they’ve touted, either. But fans are concerned about some of the language in their promotional captions, as some believe they promote unhealthy or even disordered eating habits!
User @theheatherashley wrote, “WEIGHTLOSS PSA: Appetite suppressants aren’t how you lose weight, they’re how you gain anorexia. Your body NEEDS food to fuel it’s body or it will eat itself to make sure you don’t die. When it starts eating itself, your metabolism lowers, working against future weightloss.” User @kelseyfeldman agreed, “If you’re hungry then you should eat. This isn’t something to promote especially to the younger audience you have.” User @carrie.b.nongkhlaw even wrote, “Let’s take action guys as responsible adults!!!! REPORT THIS TO IG ASAP!!!!! The more people report the more IG WILL REMOVE!!! THESE types of INSENSITIVE ADVERTS are the reasons why kids have eating disorders!!!!” And @0711_v wrote, “as an influencer, you should be ashamed of yourself. these kinds of stuff leads to eating disorders.”
