‘Teen Mom 2’ Cast Speaks Out After Jenelle, David Episode Drama
Jenelle Evans is over being a teen mom. The MTV star unleashed a scathing statement about the network following Monday’s airing of the latest installment of “Teen Mom 2.” Jenelle’s cast members have also responded to the controversial episode.
“Yes, me and David have our ups and downs but yesterday’s episode was uncalled for,” Jenelle kicked off her latest Instagram post. Her comment came after the episode in question showed Jenelle and her soon-to-be husband refusing to film following an argument. A later scene showed Jenelle staying quiet while David argued with MTV producers about the previous days’ events.
“Because David didn’t feel like explaining another argument or drama on camera they make it look as if David is hiding some weird [expletive] from the public as if he was hurting me in some way?!” Jenelle continued before stating her possible leave from the series after eight seasons.
“I have decided after this season I’m probably calling it quits for filming this show,” she wrote.
“It’s getting to out of hand and it’s not healthy for us anymore, just harming us mentally. They treat all of us as if we are in a freak show and in cages. WE aren’t human beings to @mtv what-so-ever,” claimed Jenelle.
Jeneelle’s cast members have also responded to the dramatic installment. Monday night, Kail Lowry posted to her Twitter account that “social media is all perception.” When one fan responded that they felt “bad” for Jenelle, Kail wrote that it is sometimes hard for individuals to realize when a relationship has gone sour.
Chelsea DeBoer is still living off the excitement of her weekend wedding, but that didn’t stop her from tweeting to the “Teen Mom” account on Monday with a simple sad face response.
Leah Messer seemed more invested in talking about her own storyline following Monday’s installment, but she did retweet Chelsea’s dad Randy Houska’s message about Jenelle trying to distract MTV’s cameras by showing off her jellyfish after her and David’s fight.
The “Teen Mom 2” star has not responded to her cast members reacts to the episode. However, prior to Mondays premiere, she did slam MTV for their supposed editing. On her Instagram, Jenelle posted screenshots of a prior episode of the series which showed her sporting a “hand mark” on her arm, which she claims is photoshopped.
“The other screenshots are pictures I’ve taken myself from the same episode... and there aren’t any hand marks,” Jenelle wrote. “Once they treat me with respect I’ll be back, if they don’t I’ll be happy with the life I’ve got. I told them this last night.”
Prior to her statement about the latest episode, Jenelle revealed she removed many of her social media accounts -- as of Tuesday morning her Twitter account was deactivated -- because she didn’t want to “read the comments.”
“I’ve blocked all my producers numbers. I will not stand for the negative shit anymore. I’ll be off social media for a while to be focusing on solely my family,” she wrote.
David has not responded to the controversy though it appears he has disabled the comments section of his Instagram account.
The next episode of “Teen Mom 2” doesn’t appear to be any less dramatic for Jenelle. MTV’s synopsis for Season 8, episode 16, “Emotional Roller Coaster,” reveals Jenelle will once again battle with her mother Barbara Eason over plans for her eldest son Jace’s eighth birthday.
Catch the new episode Monday, Oct. 16, at 9 p.m. EDT and a re-airing of the Monday’s installment at 2:30 p.m. EDT this afternoon on MTV.
