Jenelle Evans Says She Hates Going to Her House on The Land Now; Reveals Her Best Friend Tori Rhyne is Moving to Las Vegas So They Can Start a Podcast Together

Jenelle Evans says she won’t be returning to life on The Land— or North Carolina— any time soon. Instead, the fired Teen Mom star says she’s flying in her best friend from back home to live with her in Sin City.

During a Live session on social media on Tuesday, Jenelle was asked if she plans to move back to her lil piece of swampy heaven, The Land— the North Carolina property she and her ex-husband David Eason lived on. Not surprisingly, Jenelle— who moved to Las Vegas in the spring of 2024 because the soulmate she had lined up next, August Keen, lived there for better “business opportunities”— said she associates her sinking lovenest on The Land with bad memories of her marriage and doesn’t want to move back.

“As of right now I really like Vegas and I think it’s working out for me and the kids,” Jenelle said. “There’s so many opportunities here. North Carolina people, they’re just not ambitious.” 

Jenelle said that she may want to keep her home in North Carolina, but does not see herself ever moving back there.

“The kids, they want me to keep the house because there’s so many good memories for them there,” Jenelle said.

The house holds a lot of bad memories for Jenelle, though.

“I hate going there because I remember more bad memories than the kids do, which is a good thing, ya know? No trauma,” she said. “I’m probably going to use it as a vacation house.”

As The Ashley previously told you, Jenelle and David are now divorced, but the former soulmates are still squabbling in court over The Land, as well as custody and child support for their daughter Ensley. (They have mediation scheduled in North Carolina for next month.)

While Live on TikTok on Tuesday, Jenelle revealed that she is bringing one thing over from North Carolina: her best pal, Tori Rhyne!

Jenelle stated that she will be going to North Carolina soon (likely for that mediation hearing), and then will be possibly driving home to Vegas, with Tori in tow.

“Tori’s moving to Vegas!” Jenelle announced gleefully. “And me and Tori are going to start a podcast and she’s going to be in a lot of my vlogs and, yeah, I’m really excited for her. It’s going to be fun.”

Jenelle elaborated on the podcast, which she said will be a “besties podcast” where they may have “people on sometimes.” As of now, Jenelle and Tori are threatening planning to do their podcast once a week.

Jenelle insisted that when she and Tori get together, they “talk really well.”

Um…

“Our chemistry is really good on-camera, off-camera, all the time,” Jenelle said. “…so I just think the podcast would work really well with me and her. It would be so funny. She’s hilarious.”

Of course, this is not Jenelle’s first foray into the podcasting world. Back in 2021, Jenelle hosted The Jenelle Evans Podcast, which lasted for about two episodes, one of which featured her then-husband David burping into the camera, making “boobie” jokes and Jenelle saying “Um” while looking at her phone on-air. (You can read a recap of that riveting episode here.)

Last year, she seemed to be attempting to start podcasting again with her failed Time of Day brand, but nothing was ever released, other than a promo picture.
