Fans lashed out in reaction to this and even began circulating a petition to get David fired. It gained over 9,000 signatures, and it seems MTV agreed with the sentiment.
“David Eason’s personal comments do not reflect the views of MTV. With six weeks left of production on ‘Teen Mom 2,’ effective immediately, we are ending our relationship with him,” read a statement by MTV released Feb. 20, 2018.
But lately, the accusations have gotten even more intense. Jenelle and David have come under fire as fans start to suspect they may be exhibiting abusive behavior toward their children… or even to each other!
The rumors came to a head during last season of Teen Mom 2 when David and Jenelle’s photoshoot for their wedding save-the-date got extremely heated.
When the episode aired we got a look at what happened behind-the-scenes of Jenelle and David’s adorable save-the-date picture… though when the producers showed up to film the photo shoot the first time, they were sent off of the property.
“He’s arguing for hours,” Jenelle told a producer in a text. “This is bull s**t, he keeps putting me down. He won’t stop.”
Soon after, the producers were told to leave. “David said ‘if you don’t leave my house you will be escorted by police,’” a producer explained. “’You will have five minutes before I call.’” Another producer chimed in, “Now he’s saying he’s going to call the police on us?”
The producers returned the next day, and Jenelle told them that the fight was simply because they were both in “a bad mood.” Meanwhile, David insisted that they had never fought in the first place.
