28. How to make self-snitching a virtue

TMZ 2/2018: Teen Mom 2 cast member David Eason's officially been given the boot...(He) came under fire for an anti-LGBTQ rant online...

TMZ 5/2019: MTV booted Jenelle from its Teen Mom franchise after her husband shot and killed her French bulldog...because it nipped at (their 2-year-old daughter).

Jenelle Evans and David Eason are turning over a new leaf...doing everything they can to make sure they regain custody of her children...(S)ince losing custody of all 3 (of them)...the couple has enrolled in marriage counseling, signed up for parenting classes, and David's got an upcoming psych evaluation to find the root of his anger issues: all conditions set by the judge if they hope to get the kids back.

Jenelle has no plans to dump David, even though his brutal killing of the family dog put the wheels in motion for Child Protective Services (CPS) to take the kids out of their home. We're told Jenelle and David are still committed to each other, and they want to emerge from this extremely rough patch as a family.


Before you condemn CPS for being draconian, keep in mind that they had these things to consider (among others):

TMZ 5/13: Jenelle Evans' dangerous spouse...illegally towed a...truck...in June 2018...Cops weren't made aware until Eason uploaded a video of the incident on his YouTube page (in December, with) Jenelle in the background laughing and egging him on...Eason was charged with tampering with a vehicle and injury to personal property...

Since Eason was charged, it isn't as though the courts didn't find out about the incident. But it's not too late to take the video down -- it would show Child Protective Services that Jenelle and David are capable of basic good judgment and possibly even remorse...what, the video STILL hasn't been taken down???




TMZ 5/18: Jenelle and David went to court ...to fight a judge's order that removed three children from their home over the course of a week...The(y) were not returned...On their way out of the courthouse, they got back into their vehicle, which looks like it was housing a pistol on the dash...We pulled screenshots...and heightened the resolution...the black object seen through the windshield seriously looks like a gun.





Here's why that was an extremely bad idea -- and an extremely ill-timed form of self-snitching:

USA Today, July 2018: ...(Evans) grew angry when a driver of a white pickup truck tailgated her vehicle, cut her off and slammed on the brakes in front of her on the highway.

Footage (from Teen Mom 2)...shows Evans and...(her son) Jace fly forward as she brakes quickly to avoid crashing into the other car..."I almost got veered off the side of the road,” an emotional Evans tells the...911...operator...(She) tailed the unidentified driver to his home, while unbuckling her seat belt and reaching for a firearm...

(Evans) backed into the driver’s mailbox...The angry driver then blocked Evans from leaving...allegedly hitting her car in the process...Evans escaped, but the white truck began following her car again....The incident ended with Evans getting pulled over by police...


These two have a LOT to learn about making a good first impression...especially on people who are standing between you and custody of your children...
