After five full days in court hearing testimony from Jenelle Evans, family members, CPS workers and others, a North Carolina judge has finally made a ruling as to where the former Teen Mom 2 star’s kids will be staying.
The Ashley can exclusively report that the judge ruled that Jenelle and her husband David Eason will not be getting custody of their children back, at least not for the time being. The Ashley’s sources tell her that the judge decided that the kids will not return home to The Land in their parents’ care and will continue to stay with their current caregivers.
“The judge deemed Jenelle and David’s testimony not credible,” a source tells The Ashley. “He also told Jenelle that she did not do her job as a mother to protect her kids.”
As The Ashley reported last week, Jenelle took the stand on her own behalf to plead with the judge to give the kids back to her and David. An assortment of other people (both inside and outside of Jenelle and David’s families) also provided testimony as to what life on The Land was like.
Despite pleading illness on Friday (and leaving court early without taking the supervised visit with her kids she was owed), Jenelle was back in court on Tuesday for the ruling.
“She was devastated and shocked,” the source stated of Jenelle’s reaction to the ruling. “She was very confident that the judge would give them back the kids.”
Jenelle is not leaving David; however, the judge told her in court that “at this point, it doesn’t matter if she left him or not, because she failed to protect her kids,” The Ashley’s source says.
The source also states that Jenelle and David will return to court next Tuesday to learn the steps they need to take and the actions they need to complete in order for them to regain custody.
Currently the kids’ locations are as follows: Jenelle’s son Jace and Ensley (her daughter with David) are with Jenelle’s mom, Barbara Evans. Jenelle’s son Kaiser is with his father Nathan Griffith, and David’s daughter Maryssa is with her maternal grandmother.
The Ashley just wants to clarify that this ruling is for temporary custody only. Jenelle and David did not lose legal rights to their children, or anything like that. From here, the kids’ respective caregivers will have to fight in court again for permanent custody of the kids.
UPDATE #1: Jenelle’s “rep” released a statement to Entertainment Tonight after this story was posted.
“At this time we are cooperating with the judge and legal team from the court,” the rep said. “We will continue to cooperate with the court and their decisions.”
UPDATE #2: Jenelle’s mother Barbara gave a statement to E! News after the judge made his ruling.
“Of course I would like for Jenelle to get [her kids] back eventually, but certain things have to happen first,” Barb said.

I have to agree with Barb, Jenelle’s “outpouring of mommy love” was clearly a pathetic transparent show for the media !!!!!!
I think he know killing the dog was wrong, he was just up set that the dog hurt his child on her face, yes it wasn’t right to kill a animal but they are not bad parents every one make mistakes.he has a 11 year old, people are killing and beating their kids at 1 week old to 1 years old, so David and Janelle are not bad people they should get their kids back.
Janelle should never be given custody of her kids again. Her life is a continuous tran wreck. She is not a capable parent with or without David. Yes. She should remain to have supervised visitation. But no competent judge would grant her custody for a long time….
That’s awesome ! Bitch doesn’t need her kids !! She can’t take care of her dog much less her Kids !! Karma is a bitch
He’s off his head. Weirdo.
A blog wrote that MTV was going to hire these monsters back so they could film all this? Their court appearances and custody hearings? I will be all over them. They will have no sponsors.
OMG! NO WAY ?! Are you kidding? That is fucked up on soooo many levels!
David is so dreamy and masculine armed to take on the enemy while cooking breakfast and holding his toddler daughter. The way he can wish death upon someone and eloquently call them a POS while simultaneously giving hand gestures. I love his rugged ungroomed beard that mimics the Amish without all the religious baggage. His ability to protect his family from wild 8 pound Frenches. Davidiah is the epitome of a true blood man
PLeeeeeease tell me you’re being sarcastic!
very sarcastic!
LOL ?? I got a bit worried there!

Really random…but Jenelle is almost a spitting image of Diane Downs, and there are a lot of similarities in their stories….honestly, the only difference is Jenelle hasn’t shot any of her kids to keep a man…yet….
I have read the book “Small Sacrifices” by Ann Rule. The movie is titled the same. Farrah Fawcet played Diane Downs.
God , that leaves a really un-nerving feeling!…. .
I watched that movie last night, saw it a few years ago when I was younger, jenelle is very similar to Diane downs, in features.
SHIT !!!!!! THAT’S FREAKY!
I just lol’ed so hard at the uppercuts comment.
Oh boy. I see that “someone” released a home video I madman David ranting at someone presumably his soulmate. I see a theme under construction for Jenelle’s redemption. Her battered wife story, her narrow escape from Devil David. How she sacrificed the custody of her children to save them. I smell a book deal, another tv show

Ooooooohhhhh god , I’m rolling my eyes ! How predictable!. Although I don’t believe she’ll leave him!
Sweet little Nugget evidently had a purpose in life and died a martyr. Nugget did not die in vain. Nugget’s horrific abuse, torture and violent death led to the rescue of all the innocent children, hopefully on a permanent basis.
Ok lets see…
Who thinks David will comply with the judges request?
If he does agree to go to counseling how long before he takes thos talking words as fighting words & flips out or just walks out?
And will he “fill the place with uppercuts?”
TMZ has a video up with David telling Jenelle he could kill her. Don’t know when that happened but i kept looking at the background. CPS said the house was filthy and had hole in the wall. The house looks nice, how did she and dumbo let it get filthy and torn up?
Yeah i saw that too
I wonder who posted that. How did anyone get that video?
I also noticed he was wearing a flannel so it was probably in winter time.
I watched it. TMZ said she filmed it. Someone else said that there are some more videos that are going to surface. TMZ said these videos will not help with the custody case.
I saw that too, you could literally hear kids crying (possibly Kaiser, Maryssa, or Enlsey), and David saying Jenelle could die and he wouldn’t give a shit and called Jenelle a piece of shit. He literally said “You could die right now for all I give a f***. You’re a f***ing piece of s**t. You’re the biggest f***ing piece of s*** I know.” But then again this is “her soulmate” and she’s forever staying by his side. I guess he really is worth all the abuse. I wonder if the judge will see that video?
Unless of course, he’s taking to one of the children…
Awwwwww young love . She’ll probably try to convince everyone that’s his way of showing affection!
Where did you see this video ?
I saw that too….and he said it so matter of factly. Jenelle is a fool.
I feel so bad for the children,the only one who knows the truth is GOD and the Children ..just so sad for the children j
@The Ashley, do you know anything about David Eason allegedly sexually abusing one of the children? In an article published earlier today on “CheatSheet” it said David was once seen sexually abusing one of the children in front of the cameras. I’ve not heard anything about this before, and couldn’t find anything else supporting it online but figured Id ask here since you’re the ultimate in reliable TM info! Thanks!
Wtaf ??????.
Hope this isn’t true, but then again, nothing about him and morticia would surprise me.
I’ve heard before that David has done this ( not on camera tho)
This is such a sad story. She lost her collarbone (not lost just broken), her dog, her very lucrative job, and her children but there she is with her lunatic husband emotionally supporting her! Wtf he is the catalyst for all the loss! If someone with purpose and intent, let’s say for argument sake, shoots me in a fit of rage and takes me for medical attention do I owe that person my life? If said shooter tells me to stay positive eveything will be fine. Should I really believe this person? A ridiculous but fitting analogy…how very sad
Those poor little kids are in my head constantly! Jennelle is a loser , she lost Jace, if you don t learn by that you never will! Kaiser is much happier with Nathan, Ensley is only little so hopefully she dosen’t remember to much. Maryssa is at a difficult age so it must be so hard on her.
But David and Jenelle can fight it out amongst themselves. She’s JUST as abusive as he is . They deserve each other!

There is now a video on TMZ of David !
I’m so so relieved that the children are safe and away from David, I agree that Jenelle failed to protect her children..,so sad

Did Barb really jump in for defense of David? I vaguely remember seeing her talking to someone ( maybe one of the producers) and she was s g yin that she was biting her tongue and just going along with Jenelle because the two of them had only just started talking again and she didn’t want to say anything to rock the boat and piss Jenelle off. She had also said she wad scared of what David might do to Jennelle/ kids so if she maintained their relationship then Jenelle would know she could go to her if need be!
I only caught the tail end of the conversation so I’m not quiet sure if this is right.
I HONESTLY can’t see her standing in and defending David ” out of love ”
But I heard this before all of the nugget situation.
I dont think Barb stuck up for David.
As soon as she found out about Nugget (the dog) she told Jenelle that Jace is not allowed on “The Land” but she can see him without David at anytime anyplace. This was before CPS got involved. Of course Jenelle said it had nothing to do with David & it was about Barb being upset & blaming Jenelle they lost their MTV jobs
WOW! That girl really is something else! Its a relief to hear about Barb not backing David though! I thought it was a bit strange that she would suddenly change her opinion about David so quickly, but it sort of made a bit of sense when she said she was only doing it to keep on the good side of Jennelle , just in case Jenelle needed her. But ITS A MASSIVE RELIEF that she’s jumped right in to protect Jace and Ensley, even at the risk of Jennelle and her tantrums! So once again EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BLAME except for David or Jennelle!
Well since it is in fact HER FAULT Barbara has every right to blame her! This woman is unbelievable, her story is not going to end well.
Jennelle is pathetic, She’s lucky she’s got Barb, I’m aware alot of people don t like Barb but I believe that she’s been the one that has continued to pick up the destruction that Jenelle leaves in her trail.
Barb offered for Jenelle to see Jace anytime and anywhere ( except the land”) But David was NOT to be present
Nathan offered Jenelle the same thing, She could see Kaiser BUT David was NOT to be present!
Jennelle REFUSED BOTH OFFERS! Clearly her physco husband is more important than her own children!
I really hope the other animals on the land are taken soon. I can see David hurting them out of retaliation

It was reported that when CPS entered the house it was filthy and there was drug paraphernalia, and holes where in every wall. I remember 1 episode of TM where there was a huge hole in the wall. Since the show hasn’t been filmed on the Land in 2 yrs many, more holes must have appeared. I guess now we see why they were at Lowe’s buying repair stuff after CPS took the kids.
You could tell that David’s mother was afraid of him on the show. He walks all over her. She will let him into her home anytime so he can control her and Maryssa. I don’t believe Davids mom is able to keep her safe or away from his control.
Maryssa isn’t with David’s mother, thankfully. She’s with her mom’s mom.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO TheAshley for such prompt and informative site EVER !!!!
Amen to this
And accurate too

You know Ashley always has the FACTS

it makes me sick janelle on the couch crying people won’t stop talking about her hello pot calling the kettle black. barb defending him that he dind’t get his chance to speak when he was fired wtf barb your making me sick. and the worst she loves him
Ok I’m not a twitter user, so I don’t know much about it. But I went in Janelles page and there was just article after article, links to articles (all gossipy type stuff). Are they posted by her? Why is she posting articles about nonsense during such a terrible time? Does she get paid for posting that stuff?
Don’t open those articles, it’s click bait and Jenelle gets paid every time someone opens one. YUP, hard up for $$$
I think just about every “Teen Mom” has those at least on one social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat). It’s extra income for the gossip sites to post on their page. Not defending Jenelle, but all the “Teen Moms” do it.
YES she does get paid.
All the moms do it but Jenelle NEVER posted articles about her & Lurch, it was always about other people.
Now she is posting articles about EVERYTHING & EVERYONE including her & Lurch
Anything to make a buck now she lost her $400k job
The girls give permission for those to be posted, but they’re not doing the posting themselves. It’s automatic by the company. If you’ll notice, a lot of them get posted at the exact same time (for example, if you’re following Chelsea and Kail, one of those articles gets posted same day, exact same time on both of their accounts. It’s like a robot or automatic posting system doing it).

All those years of downing Barbara and look who steps up AGAIN. If Barbara wasn’t caring she could’ve made Ensley go to foster care and thank goodness Nathan and his family are present because she would’ve had Kaiser too. She’s not perfect, but she’s better then bonnie and clyde.
I can’t believe that fool would risk losing her babies instead of leaving this man. She is so inept. If she would’ve left as soon as it happened, the judge would’ve took pity on her and she would’ve kept the kids. However, she followed up behind David and lost them all. Lord forgive me for saying this, but I don’t want those kids to go back to her at all, because she truly doesn’t care about their safety. Sadly, I feel they do all their meetings etc and get them back. Smhh however, I wonder if they do get them back what happens to jace?? Yes barbara has temp custody of Ensley and permanent of Jace, but if they give back Kaiser and Ensley. Wouldn’t Jace living arrangements be put into question?? This is so messy. I feel for those kids.
no her writes with jace were terminated he will never be in her custody again
Jenelle’s rights to Jace are not terminated, but Barbara has a final order of custody. Jenelle would have to petition the court to transfer custody from Barbara to her. Ensley could go back to Jenelle and David if they are compliant with what the court orders them to do. But Barbara could file for custody as well. With regard to Kaiser, he could technically go back to Jenelle if she is compliant, but Nathan has already petitioned for custody, so that will have to be decided as well.
OMG ! I feel sick just thinking about it. The thought that there’s a chance they could be sent back there is terrifying! Those kids have endured enough misery as it is. The poor little things have had to come out and tell “A whole heap of strangers ” about the awful things that they’ve seen and heard” on “The Land” They’re frightened .They’ve been through alot ! It would be horrible for them to just get settled and start feeling safe secure and to be uprooted again. It’s not fair !
The porn,dick pics, and drug videos will be out soon.
Well since Jenelle allowed David to call Kaiser “a little bitch” she deserves to get called a crack whore bitch. She is a pathetic excuse of a mother as well as a pathetic excuse of a woman. Jenelle is probably sleeping real good tonight, she’s probably having the time of her life right now.
It’s all coming out tonight on Twitter. The tea is hot.
Out of curiosity but what would Jenelle’s porn star name be?
Jenelley Smelly….. look on… cause I find you on Twitter
Your welcome
Look on teen mom shade room on instagram…
#Give it to me dude
# stop dude
# leave me alone dude
# jenelles porn name lol
Yeah that’s what I reckon! I’ve also suggested she get in touch with Farrah regarding a job ????
Thank God the judge could see David is so dangerous and unstable and that the kids are not safe with him He murdered a puppy it’s just like murdering a baby I hope they never get the kids back and selfish Jenelle choosing that monster over her kids really….
Jenelle is clearly no saint, but she doesn’t deserve to be the punching bag of the internet. No one is born with zero self esteem clinging to any loser who sometimes makes them feel loved (when they’re not cracking your collarbone or ‘un-aligning’ your jaw). How much past trauma does it take to be willing to lose your dog, job, and kids; just to keep someone who “cares about you”? Barbara could have been completely different when Jenelle was growing up, and who knows about her dad. All the hate she gets online can’t be helping- or motivating her to get help for the sake of the kids.
Jenelle had no problem when her so called “BELOVED HUSBAND” was using her helpless little boy as his “whipping boy” .
Ok she may have had a hard life, she’s not the only one! But YOU strive to make the lives of your children better. At the end of the day she is /was responsible for those children and she failed them !
Please! Go away with your nonsense! SHE IS NOT A VICTIM!!! Got it! She is a selfish piece of shit who let this monster dog murderer brutally beat that little dog then shoot it. I hope the monster dog murderer beats her senseless! Those kids were used as punching bags, not her bitchy self. So you are related to her?
Instagram mom
A girl who acts like she loves her child and posts pictures like look at my cutie, she’s my world. But is more interested in the next guy she can sleep with. Barely works and acts like she spoils her child but everyone knows her parents support that baby.
Yep sounds like Jenelle alright, in all the pictures she has posted those poor babies were probably forced to smile.The pictures never seemed genuine, they all just seemed forced. Jenelle only used Ensley as a prop/accessory. But when that little baby girl was with Barb she showed a true, genuine smile and the same goes for both Kaiser and Jace, the smiles just seem more genuine compared to when they are around Jenelle and David.
I sincerely hope Barb has help with all the kids. This is a lot for anyone but for an older person….god, she must be absolutely exhausted. MTV should be providing barb with assistance AND funds to help her. She provided mtv with the spectacle that we see before us. She could’ve refused the filming of Jace, period. I think they should help her now.
Doesn’t David still have to go back to court soon for the Illegal Towing incident?
He goes Monday.
I hope The Ashley keeps us informed.
If I can recall I believe it is on June 3rd or 4th, so sometime next week. Who wants to put bets on now that Jenelle might try to take out a loan to bail David out like she did with the $5,000 child support.
She could sell her $75.000 car if she’s desperate
It will be repossessed soon enough, she doesn’t have enough money to make the payments, and you know she was never smart enough with her money to have enough to buy it outright.
LOL , You’re probably right there !
According to Urban dictionary an Instagram Mom is this:
Instagram Mom
“A girl who acts like she loves her child and posts pictures like look at my cutie, she’s my world. But is more interested in the next guy she can sleep with. Barely works and acts like she spoils her child but everyone knows her parents support that baby”.
Yep sounds like Jenelle alright, none of those poor babies smiled unless Jenelle forced them too, there was no genuine smile from those poor babies, it all seemed force. Jenelle used her kids most importantly Ensley as props/accessories.
Sounds about right ?
Janelle’s shocked????
Jesus Christ ????????
Thank God the judge could see David is so dangerous and unstable and that the kids are not safe with him He murdered a puppy it’s just like murdering a baby I hope they never get the kids back and selfish Jenelle choosing that monster over her kids really….
Jenelle is the only one who is shocked
Probably because Jennelle thought she had just organised free baby sitting for the long weekend. Don’t they usually go away to some lake? So she’s left court early Friday ( she was feeling unwell) how away for the three days , expected to walk back into court Tuesday and pick them up! WRONG !!!!

Congratulations Nathan and Barb , I’m sorry that it had to come to this for you to finally get the kids away from that hell hole and safe in your home’s! Well done Nathan for cleaning up your act! You Ashley and Kaiser make a beautiful little family. I hope you’re all very happy.
Amen to that.
Ashley is great for Nathan.
The best thing to happen to Nathan is Ashley.
And she clearly loves kaiser.
Ohhhhh most definitely! Good on him I say. He’s owned up to and learned from his mistakes and taken accountability for them. He’s now in a mature stable and loving relationship which is wonderful.
I saw the video of Kaiser looking healthy and happy he was blowing kisses with Ashley, she truly seems like a lovely girl. And I wish them all the happiness in the world.

I wonder what is going to happen on The Land tonight and whether Doris, Nathan, Barb, as well as everyone involved will be safe tonight. Will David go on his rampage tonight is a sad thought and question. What the hell is going to Jenelle’s head, what the hell is wrong with her!?Jenelle has lost everything due to that monster she calls “her soulmate”. She has lost her family, all her friends even her best friend Tori, she has lost her job, all her sponsorships, she has lost any opportunity to even get a decent job cause what job is going to hire her now, she is now the talk of the town even more,she has lost her dog, and now she has lost her kids. But Jenelle is with “her soulmate” what the hell, this man has caused you everything. Barb was right Jenelle will lose everything but Jenelle does not give a damn because she’s with “her soulmate” Jenelle probably cares less, she’s probably upset because she can’t be an instagram mom anymore.She wasn’t this horrible with Keiffer and seemed to be getting a little better with Nathan. Why didn’t Jenelle put Jace up for adoption like Barb suggested during 16 and Pregnant. Jace was only 2 days old and here is Jenelle going out partying her butt off, even on her 16 and Pregnant episode she told her friend that “taking a care of a baby is like being in prison” and “how they are always crying and how they are all so clingy”. Also she would always call Jace “it”, never once would she call Jace his name, it was always “it”. Jace would cry and cry for Jenelle, but no the men, drugs, and party life were all far more important than her own child who she refuse to give up for adoption but seem to have no problem screwing him more for life. She called the cops on Nathan and had him go to jail same with Keiffer for domestic violence, but with David she’s not going to press charges or anything, even going so far to bail him out for child support. Jenelle is a sorry excuse for a mother and those poor kids especially Jace if he ever watches Jenelle’s 16 and Pregnant episodes as well her Teen Mom episodes are going to even more screwed up.
Learn how to use quotation marks you sound as ignorant/uneducated as jenelle.
From day one she has lacked maternal instinct. These days it’s just an Instagram act.
