OAK ISLAND, NORTH CAROLINA: Jenelle Evans has reportedly separated from David Eason. The 'Teen Mom' couple recently filed for divorce, submitting documents in a North Carolina court. The news of their separation circulated widely on the internet on Monday.

The former reality TV star brought up everything about David in court, including murder allegations involving their pet and felony charges for allegedly strangling her son Jace, pointing out erratic behaviors. According to court documents obtained by The Sun, the couple officially separated on February 16.

Amid the divorce drama, David uploaded a post on Facebook, allegedly threatening ex Jenelle for exposing her 'dirty laundry.' In his now-deleted post, he wrote, "Y'all want to see more of Jenelle's dirty laundry? It's all about to be aired out! But WARNING, she hasn't done laundry in 7 months or more!"

A Reddit user uploaded the David's now-deleted post with title "And so it begins. David posted this five minutes ago." To this, a user commented, "He's going to post the dirty laundry on Onlyfans? She's already doing that for $19.95 a month." Another wrote, "I literally commented on another post earlier today, that I think their separation is fake because I think they’re being too mature about it and “not slinging mud at each other” whelp."

A little later after Dvaid's post, Jenelle shared a post, saying, "Survived Facebook outage." A Reddit user uploaded her post, saying, "Jenelle thinks it’s funny to be chronically online! So quirky of her!" 

A user mocked the reality TV star, "Just imagine what Jenelle would do without the internet.' Another wrote, "Well, Jenelle….too bad Meta is back up and David is about to start posting your dirty laundry."

"Plaintiff has been spending his days drinking liquor at a bar near the marina," Jenelle said in her documents. David also allegedly refused to give the key to the mailbox to Jenelle, which she claims has left her "unable to pick up Jace's medication, leaving the minor child at risk for adverse health effects."
