Jenelle Evans is making her comeback on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. After facing challenges and controversies that led to her being fired from the show in 2019 due to her then-husband David Eason’s behavior, the reality star is ready to share her story once again on the upcoming episode airing on Thursday, June 13.
In an exclusive preview, Jenelle, 32, bravely talks about her decision to finally walk away from David. She admits, “It took me some time to realize it wasn’t a healthy relationship. But I finally got the courage to walk away for good.” She opens up about feeling like she was constantly walking on eggshells with David and being belittled, leading to her feeling mentally abused and unhappy in the marriage.
Jenelle and David, 35, met in 2015 and went on to have a daughter together named Ensley. Despite their rocky relationship, Jenelle filed for separation from David in March, wanting a fresh start for herself and her children. Due to North Carolina laws, she had to file for separation first before moving on to divorce proceedings, a process that requires proving two separate addresses.
Although this marks Jenelle’s official return to Teen Mom, she previously made a guest appearance on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter in September 2022, where she shared her struggles with her relationship with David. She expressed her frustrations about providing for the family while David remained unemployed, causing tension between them.
As Jenelle continues her journey on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, viewers can expect to see her navigating life post-David and focusing on creating a better future for herself and her children. Tune in to MTV on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET to catch up on Jenelle’s story and the latest developments in her life.
