Nathan Griffith‘s ex-girlfriend (and most-recent alleged domestic violence victim) Anastasia Biddle is speaking out about seeing Nathan’s baby mama Jenelle Evans attend a recent event put on by a Las Vegas domestic violence charity. The 21-year-old said she was surprised to see the fired Teen Mom star’s smiling mug featured on the charity’s social media page, given that Jenelle had defended and assisted Nathan before and after his arrest for domestic violence on April 23.
During an Instagram Live session on Monday, 21-year-old Anastasia was asked for her thoughts on Jenelle attending an event for SafeNest Las Vegas, a charity that helps victims of domestic violence. (As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle attended the event with fellow ‘Teen Mom’ stars Farrah Abraham and Ashley Jones last Thursday.)
Anastasia stated that she was shocked to see photos of Jenelle at the event, especially since she had allegedly called SafeNest herself for help on the night of Nathan’s arrest for allegedly strangling her. According to Anastasia, she made the charity aware that Jenelle was associating with and assisting Nathan.
“I called SafeNest that night [the alleged domestic violence] happened, after everything happened and stuff, so I could get a short-term protection order,” Anastasia said. “And when I was talking to [SafeNest] I explained to them who else is in relations with him, the whole situation of what happened, and what people were involved. And I said [Jenelle’s] name. And yet she still gets invited [to their event]!”
After the charity received numerous complaints about promoting Jenelle’s (and the other ‘Teen Mom’ girls’) appearance at their “SafeNest Soiree” on Thursday, the organization— which provides assistance and resources to domestic violence victims— decided to pull the photos they had posted online of the ‘Teen Mom’ girls. In addition, many of the social media users who complained about SafeNest inviting Jenelle received a message from the organization explaining their decision to remove Jenelle’s pictures. (SafeNest’s response was posted on social media by several people who received it.)
“After listening to feedback from our community, we’ve made the decision to remove her post from our social media stories,” SafeNest’s response reads. “This choice was made with care and respect from all perspectives and we remain committed to creating a space that reflects our values.”
(The Ashley has reached out to SafeNest for additional comment.)
Jenelle and Anastasia have been bickering back and forth via social media posts since Nathan’s arrest. As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle posted a video the day after Nathan’s arrest, explaining that she had been on the phone with Nathan before and during his arrest. She provided her version of events and revealed how she was involved in the situation.
Nathan is currently in jail and due to go before a judge this week. Anastasia attended a court hearing and has obtained an order of protection against Nathan that forbids him (or anyone who associates with him) from contacting her. That protection order is good until mid-August.
During the Live, Anastasia also claimed that Jenelle and Nathan’s current wife, May Oyola, showed up at her home days after Nathan’s arrest to assist him in getting his stuff back from Anastasia. The Ashley will have more details on that soon.
On Sunday, Jenelle hit X to clarify her involvement in Nathan’s alleged domestic violence situation with Anastasia.
“I never said Nathan was innocent and never gave him a place to stay while the cops were there. I offered him to stay hours before they arrived,” Jenelle wrote. “Their fight was about [Anastasia] being jealous of me according to his mom…And I also stated they were BOTH at fault, don’t switch this into something it’s not.”
Jenelle then stated that she, too, suffered domestic violence at Nathans hand when they were together, but that she handled it different than Anastasia has.
“And if you think for one second I wasn’t a victim of domestic violence when I was with Nathan.. I was. I just don’t go bragging everytime I was in that situation,” Jenelle wrote. “Def wasn’t in the gym working out.. was laying in bed depressed and my body was sore.”
According to the arrest report– obtained by The Ashley— Anastasia was observed on the night of the alleged assault to have “reddening and multiple marks” on her neck, as well as “reddening on her right bicep area.” She stated that the fight started when she informed Nathan that they were breaking up and that she retreated to her car to call Nathan’s mom, Doris Davidson.
“While [Anastasia was] on the phone with his mom, he came out to the car and took her phone away from her, later giving it back,” the officer wrote in the arrest report, adding that Anastasia stated that she remained in the car and Nathan went back inside the home and called her.
“[Nathan] begged [Anastasia] to come back inside of the house and cuddle with him one last time and [Anastasia] agreed, as long as [Nathan] would leave,” the report states.
“While on the bed laying down, [Nathan] got on top of [Anastasia] and grabbed both of her arms,” the report states. “At one point, he let go and wrapped both of his hands around her neck and strangled her for a couple of seconds. [Nathan] would let go of her neck and grab [Anastasia’s] arms again. [Nathan] repeated this approximately three times. [Anastasia] was finally able to leave the residence and call the police.”
Jenelle later told her viewers on TikTok that Nathan told the cops that night that Anastasia had bit him before the alleged incident, so, in her opinion, what happened was “equally both their faults.” In the same TikTok video, Jenelle stated that, after the alleged assault happened between Nathan and Anastasia, Nathan had called her for help and Jenelle offered to allow him to come to her home and sleep in their son Kaiser’s bed, despite Nathan having been absent in Kaiser’s life for about two years.
On her Live, Anastasia assured fans that she will never get back with Nathan.
“It’s terrifying. He is going to kill someone someday,” she said.
