Jenelle Evans will no longer be a member of the Teen Mom 2 cast. MTV released a statement announcing her firing on Tuesday on the heels of news that her husband David Eason, who was fired from the MTV show in 2018, shot and killed their dog.
“MTV ended its relationship with David Eason over a year ago in February 2018 and has not filmed any new episodes of Teen Mom 2 with him since,” the network said in a statement to Us Weekly. “Additionally, we have stopped filming with Jenelle [Evans] Eason as of April 6,2019, and have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season.”
Given her reputation as one of the more controversial figures of the Teen Mom franchise, Evans’ castmates weren’t the least bit surprised by her firing.
“ANYONE that condones/contributes/doesn’t PREVENT or STOP animal cruelty or the murder of an innocent animals life is SICK & I REFUSE to be affiliated with! I want to sympathize for my former castmate but at this point I can’t. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!” Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
Castmate Randy Houska said the couple’s demise on the show was well overdue, though noted he was concerned about Evans’ future. “I certainly think it was far past due, and that they really drug their a** doing it. But I worry for the kids, and since we’ve been in this for 10 years together, I worry about Jenelle,” he tweeted.
Eason reportedly shot the French bulldog Nugget after it nipped the couple’s two-year-old daughter, Ensley. Evans additionally is the mother of nine-year-old Jace and four-year-old Kaiser, whom she shares with Andrew Lewis and Nathan Griffith respectively.
While Eason’s killing of the dog seemed to be the final straw for the family’s involvement on Teen Mom 2, the incident was just one of many scandalous moments Evans endured during her tenure on the show.
