From going no-contact with their mom, to going against their MTV contract, it’s been a busy week for the stars/former stars of the Teen Mom franchise! In an effort to bring you up-to-date on the latest Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile.
Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…
Jenelle Evans Reveals She’s Feuding with Her Mom Barbara (Again)
More than a month after Jenelle Evans publicly blamed her mom Barbara Evans for things that her estranged sister Ashleigh Evans Wilson said about her online, the fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ claims she’s (still) mad at her mom for reasons she refuses to share. Previously, Jenelle and her mom had been enjoying a bit of a reconciliation, with Barbara even checking on Jenelle’s North Carolina property The Land to help out Jenelle, who now lives in Las Vegas.
During a recent TikTok Live, Jenelle told fans that she and Barb are “not talking again,” before going on to claim that she won’t be making an effort to “fix things with her.”
“ … You guys don’t even know what just– you don’t know what’s been going on,” Jenelle stated. “You wouldn’t be saying that if you knew what was going on, but I’m not gonna spread all that business.”
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans know, Jenelle and Barb have had one rollercoaster-from-hell of a mother-daughter relationship over the years, despite the fact that Barb took over parental duties and raised Jenelle’s first child, Jace, until he was nearly 14 years old.
In 2023, Barb signed custody back over to Jenelle because she was unable to handle Jace’s behavior, though Jenelle and her mom have continued to have their ups and downs, with Jenelle often taking her gripes about her mom public via social media rants.
As The Ashley reported, after Jenelle’s sister Ashleigh took to social media in June, claiming that Jenelle was “spiraling” and doing things–unbeknownst to the public– that were affecting her family members, Jenelle denied the claims before going on to blame her mom, both publicly and privately.
“Now I’m spiraling out of control according to Ashleigh and I’m literally on vacation with my kids…I don’t understand wtf her problem is,” Jenelle wrote in a text to her mom, which was later posted to her Instagram Story. “Now it’s another article. This is why I don’t talk to any of you.”
Jenelle also added her own message to the post.
“Friends are closer than family, let me repeat again,” she wrote. “Keeping my distance per usual.”
