Former Teen Mom sensation will be returning to our screens very soon.
Five years after MTV reportedly fired her, the network has confirmed the news that Jenelle will be a part of the upcoming season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
They did this by releasing the first trailer for the series, and also through a press release which gave some more insight into the situation.
According to The Ashley, the press release emphasized that Jenelle is not currently a full time cast member.
Instead, she will be making a “special appearance” on the show.
This seems to align with what was being said in rumors for weeks before the release of the trailer featuring Jenelle.
Teen Mom Star, Jenelle, Said, ‘… It Will Be Good to Have a Fresh Start’
Sources had previously said that Jenelle would be returning to the show “in some form”, but was not involved for much of the filming.
In the trailer, Jenelle could be heard saying, “I think it will be good to have a fresh start.”
Reports from outlets like Page Six have suggested that the show will focus on the early days of Jenelle’s life after her split from husband David Eason.
During this time, Jenelle claimed that she had gone through some “life-changing moves.”
And it’s definitely true to say that Jenelle’s life has been pretty crazy since her relationship with David started to break down.
Jenelle has had multiple visits from police officers at her home, known as The Land, according to a police report obtained by The Ashley.
Jenelle Evans’ and David Eason’s ‘Family Issues’
This was reportedly because the Teen Mom 2 star had made several calls to the local sheriff’s office since her split with David.
The Ashley first reported that officers were called to Jenelle’s place to deal with so-called “family issues” between her and her ex.
In one particular police report from last week, Jenelle apparently called the cops claiming that several personal items of hers had been stolen.
She went on to seemingly allege that the items had been stolen by David in February.
The report stated that Jenelle had called the authorities alleging that someone had taken her driver’s license, wallet and several of her credit cards, and was refusing to return them.
Jenelle told the police that she had been the victim of “larceny”.
Although she didn’t mention David by name, her description of the person who allegedly took her belongings matched his description, according to The Ashley.
In the police report, the offender is listed as a 35-year-old white male resident.
On a separate occasion, police were again at Jenelle’s home following what was called Family Offenses.
The suspect was listed as having the exact same description, once again allegedly resembling David.
The Ashley reported that both of the incidents at Jenelle’s home are currently listed as “active”.
Jenelle has made a lot of accusations about David’s behavior since filing for separation.
Jenelle Subjected to Harassment By Her Ex, David Eason
In a video posted on TikTok, she claimed that she had been subjected to harassment by her ex.
She said in the video, “He can continue to harass me, try to show up to my house every day with cops, text me horrible mean things every day, take my things.”
As she alluded to in the video, Jenelle isn’t the only one who has made contact with the police since the relationship ended.
David has allegedly called the cops at least once in the last few weeks.
Incident reports showed that he had asked officers to assist him with trying to retrieve scuba equipment from Jenelle’s house.
David Eason Aired Some of Ex-Couple’s Dirty Laundry
Like Jenelle, David has also taken to TikTok recently to air some of the ex-couple’s dirty laundry.
He claimed that the reason that he and Jenelle separated was really all about her.
David said, “Why did we split? Because Jenelle cheated on me. She’s been cheating for years actually.”
He also said that since the end of their marriage, he has been “so happy” to have his friends back, after Jenelle allegedly “pushed” them out of his life.
For her part, Jenelle reportedly filed for legal separation because of what she called “concerning and disturbing behavior” from David.
She also accused him of excessively spending her money, refusing to find work himself.
David and Jenelle were married for 6 years following 2 years of dating, and had their first child shortly after their wedding.
Jenelle’s Other Ex, Nathan Griffith, Gave an Exclusive Response
Jenelle has also had to deal with problems involving her other ex, Nathan Griffith.
Nathan reportedly spoke out about the alleged recent CPS investigation into Jenelle.
According to an online fan page, Nathan gave an exclusive response following the news that his Teen Mom ex is no longer being investigated.
In his alleged response, Nathan said that he “just wants what’s best for his son”.
Nathan is the father of Jennelle’s son, Kaiser.
When Nathan was allegedly asked by the fan page if he would be fighting for custody of Kaiser, he had this to say.
“I’m not in a position to go to court. I just want what’s best for my son. That’s all I want”.
He was then asked if he was disappointed that CPS was ending the investigation into Jenelle and her husband David Eason.
Nathan was reported to have said in response, “I’m not happy or mad. I think the agents did a[n] investigation and came to a conclusion based on the facts”.
The fan page asked Nathan when was the last time he had seen his son.
He allegedly answered that he had not visited his child in “over a year or more”.
When queried about the state of his co-parenting relationship with Jenelle, Nathan allegedly stated, “We’re stable, we don’t fight. We haven’t fought in a long time”.
Jenelle’s Controversial Return to Reality TV Show Teen Mom
However, Jenelle might find herself involved in confrontations with others due to her decision to return to Teen Mom.
The Ashley reported a few days ago that some of the other cast members were “very upset” to discover that Jenelle would be joining them.
It all started after a photo of Jenelle was posted on several media outlets last week.
The picture showed Jenelle hanging out in Florida with another member of the Next Chapter cast, Briana DeJesus.
No context was given for the photo, which was the first seed of the rumors about Jenelle’s return that have now been confirmed as true.
But after the photo emerged, a source from behind the scenes shared some gossip about some of the other stars’ feelings about Jenelle coming back.
The source first said, “Only a few cast members were aware of what was happening until the photo came out.”
What Some Teen Mom Cast Said About Jenelle’s Return to Show
They then continued, “Some of the girls are very upset that Jenelle is getting to be on Next Chapter, despite everything that’s happened.”
This could be down to the competitive nature of the cast selection, with spots on Next Chapter being highly sought after by other Teen Moms.
Some of the girls apparently expected Jenelle to make a comeback however, due to everything that’s happened to her lately.
The source said, “They knew when Jenelle dumped David that MTV would come calling. But I think most of them assume she would be put on Teen Mom Family Reunion and not Next Chapter.”
The fact that she did was described as “a slap in the face” to some of the other Teen Mom stars.
Whether this bad blood will be a part of the upcoming season, we’ll just have to wait to find out.
