In the midst of all the rumors swirling around her family, Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has taken to Instagram to respond to the gossip and set the record straight once and for all.
It all started when her husband, David Eason, shot and killed the family’s dog, Nugget.
According to People , Jenelle confirmed the dog’s death on May 1 and said she was left “speechless” after the incident, adding she was also “so sorry.”
Eason reportedly shot the dog after it bit their 2-year-old daughter, Ensley, in the face.
In the past, Eason has posted videos showing how aggressive Nugget became when Ensley attempted to hug the pooch.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Eason showed his daughter with a scratched face and defended his actions aginst the dog.
“I dont[sic] give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont[sic] put up with that s— at all,” he wrote.
“I’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes[sic] mission.”
“Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me.”
He added, “You can hate me all you want but this isnt[sic] the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively.”
Despite the photo showing that the bite didn’t break Ensley’s skin, Eason defended his reasoning.
“The only person that can judge wether[sic] or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME,” he wrote.
Earlier reports indicated that Jenelle was considering separating from Eason.
But she told Us Weekly that, “We are going to start going to marriage counseling because he feels as if we both need it. I completely agree. Not considering divorce unless he refuses counseling with me.”
“My relationship with David now is still in a healing process, of course.”
The couples’ history has been rocky, with reports that Jenelle had changed her relationship status on Facebook and unfollowed Eason earlier in the year.
Jenelle’s 4-year-old son Kaiser has reportedly been taken out of the Evans’ home.
According to TMZ , Kaiser was removed by CPS last week and is currently staying with his father and Jenelle’s ex, Nathan Griffith.
Both of Jenelle’s sons are no longer in the home.
Kaiser’s half-brother, 9-year-old Jace, who Jenelle had with her ex Andrew Lewis, is also out of the home and under Jenelle’s mother’s custody.
Jenelle has confirmed that Kaiser is no longer in her custody.
In an interview with US Weekly , she said Kaiser was removed from the home without her consent but that she has been in touch with her lawyer.
Jenelle says CPS did not inform or confirm with her before taking action.
“CPS told [Griffith’s mother, Doris] to take Kaiser without my consent and still have no legal paperwork signed by the judge stating my kids are taken from me,” she said.
Jenelle also claimed her mother was withholding Jace from her.
“My mom is keeping Jace from me, nobody else,” Jenelle said. “I only had Ensley with me for Mother’s Day this year.”

MTV has had a rocky relationship with the Easons ever since David Eason was fired from the network after allegedly tweeting homophobic and transphobic remarks in early 2018.
Jenelle is now also no longer affiliated with the network or with ‘Teen Mom 2.’
In a statement made to Us Weekly , a spokesperson for MTV stated, “We have stopped filming with Jenelle Eason as of April 6, 2019 and have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season.”
Jenelle has now spoken up amidst reports that 2-year-old Ensley has also been removed from her custody.

Jenelle denied what her sister claimed.
Jenelle’s sister, Ashleigh Evans Wilson, publicly claimed via social media that Ensley had been removed by CPS, but Jenelle disputed this in her post, saying “How would anyone ever believe any of my siblings and then report some BS?!”
She claimed she has no longer has any contact with her sister.
“Everyone wants a piece of my life … like why tho?” she wrote.
Ashleigh has since come forward to deny speaking out about Jenelle and her family on social media.
Her sister is trying to stay out of it.
Ashleigh insists it was a fake Facebook account created in her name that made the accusations, according to The Blast .
As of right now, it appears Jenelle is still in custody of 2-year-old Ensley.
But with how quickly this story has been developing, we’ll likely know for sure one way or another very soon.
