LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: 'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans has reportedly found herself in legal trouble after her partner, August Keen, called 911, alleging that she had struck him. Although August later retracted the accusation, the Las Vegas police have taken the situation seriously, particularly due to concerns about children living with the alleged abuser, as reported by Us Sun.

Jenelle has since revealed that she recently sent her 10-year-old son, Kaiser Orio, to live with his paternal grandmother, Doris Davidson. She flew to Tennessee with Kaiser, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Nathan Griffith. Jenelle explained that she wanted Kaiser to be with his father, but Nathan, who resides in Las Vegas, could not leave the state due to legal issues. Amid swirling rumors, Jenelle has attempted to defend herself against the allegations. She shared a cryptic post on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "It's insane how outlandish these new rumors are. Don't believe anything until you hear it from me first 💯... People are just asking to be sued at this point."
