The photo features nine women, including Maci Bookout, Mackenzie McKee, Briana DeJesus, Catelynn Baltierra, Leah Messer, Jade Cline, Ashley Jones, Amber Portwood, Cheyenne Davis. However, there's no sign of Jenelle who returned to the franchise as a regular cast member after being fired in 2019.
Why was Jenelle Evans fired from 'Teen Mom'?
Jenelle was fired in April 2019 when her then-husband, David Eason, shot and killed her French bulldog, who he claimed nibbled at their daughter, Ensley.
MTV discontinued their partnership with David in February 2018, and he has not appeared in any new episodes of 'Teen Mom 2' since then. Additionally, the network halted shooting with Jenelle on April 6, 2019, and had no intentions to chronicle her narrative in the next season.
In 2018, David was let go due to his homophobic and transphobic rants on X. Since David was there, Jenelle was unable to record at her house; instead, she had to continue filming the show in different places, such as automobiles or when in town.
'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans accuses her 'dangerous' mom of 'selling' her out
On July 29, Jenelle attacked her mother, Barbara, on her Instagram Story. "You haven’t seen my children in months and you want to act like you know every emotion they’re feeling…lying to the world again and starting BS just to make me look bad and you better?" Jenelle said while adding that before Barbara will "maybe" try to build a relationship with her, she needs to "act" like her mother.
"…for now you have completely destroyed anything we ever had as mother daughter," Jenelle added. "Just when you want to be in my life again you sell me out to the media. You’re dangerous and never one to be trusted."
Jenelle explained that she now understands why Barbara's sister has no relationship with her and that her son Jace sees Barbara's alleged actions as "evil." Jenelle also talked about whether her dispute with Barbara will ever return to the 'Teen Mom' screens, and how Barbara would be monetarily paid if it did.
"No," Jenelle said in a second Instagram Story post.
“There’s never going to be enough money in the world to make me want to film with you. Get that idea out of your head. Stop begging for the attention. My life has been so calm without you and David in it.”
Jenelle's rage follows a July 29 report in The Sun, which Jenelle suspects Barbara is behind. According to an informant, Jenelle and her family are "moving to a gated community" in Las Vegas, but "Jace doesn't want to move, he hates it, he's not happy, and he's lonely."
Why did 'Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans move to Las Vegas?
Jenelle, a 'Teen Mom' star, burst into tears when discussing her divorce and current court battle with her ex-husband David. Jenelle expressed her wish to transfer her family from North Carolina to Las Vegas, Nevada, in an episode of 'Teen Mom: The Next Chapter' on July 25.
Jenelle said in a confession, "Vegas is definitely gonna be a space – like my safe haven and definitely a good safe haven for my kids." She went on to state that she and her three children, Ensley, Kaiser, and Jace, had all been "traumatized" in "different ways" and that this was the primary reason she wanted to leave North Carolina.
She continued, "I feel harassed. I feel stalked. Now, every white truck on the highway, I’m staring at and I don’t know if it’s him."
Furthermore, Jenelle assured viewers that David could easily "intimidate her."
