The Ashley never thought she’d have a day where she had to write about two different 911 calls made by a Teen Mom star, but here we are.
Radar Online just released audio of a bombshell 911 call made by former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans on December 23, 2018. During the call, Jenelle claims she is in the attic, hiding from her husband, David Eason, who had become enraged because he thought she took his cell phone. Jenelle claims she locked David out, which further fueled his infamous temper.
“My husband is freaking out…I can hear him!” Jenelle tells the 911 operator. “He’s outside, freaking out because he thought I took his phone. “He’s smashing our front door right now trying to get inside.”
Jenelle says that David’s rage started because he was “upset about an article.”
The Ashley dug into her “This Day in Jenelle and David Trainwreckery” database and saw that, on December 23, 2018, North Carolina local Terry Hill pressed charges against David for “self-towing” Terry’s truck and damaging it. Jenelle had accused a local reporter of “harrassing” her family because he had helped Terry fill out the necessary paperwork to press charges.
Anyway, during the call Jenelle made that day, she tells the 911 operator that David was taking his rage out on their front door and other things.
“He’s outside smashing stuff,” she said, letting the operator know that David is armed. “He has a gun that he carries all the time. He broke my front door. I don’t know how my front door broke. I’m in the attic.”
It appears that only one of Jenelle and David’s children– daughter Ensley– was home during the incident, because she is the only kid Jenelle mentions. (However, a photo posted to Jenelle’s Instagram on December 23 shows both Ensley and Kaiser; however it may have been an old photo.)
“I’m upstairs in my attic and my daughter’s in her bedroom sleeping,” Jenelle tells the operator.
The 911 operator expresses concern that Jenelle didn’t take her daughter with her.
“How old is this child that you left in there sleeping?” the 911 operator asks Jenelle. “And you’re in the attic?”
Jenelle insists that she’s right above Ensley’s room and didn’t take the toddler with her because she didn’t want her to wake up, but the 911 operator appears to be disturbed by Jenelle’s parenting decision.
“Nobody’s down there watchin’ [her]?” the operator asks.
Jenelle assures the operator that she can see Ensley’s room from her perch in the attic. The operator tells Jenelle that she is sending officers out.
Radar Online reports that, later on December 23, David called 911 asking police to do a welfare check on Jenelle.
“He said he’s not answering her phone or texts,” the dispatcher told the 911 operator. “He said he’s worried. He called 2 to 3 times and it goes to voicemail but it shows that she’s on Facebook and she should be able to answer his phone call.”
The emergency service workers then mention that they’re quite familiar with the ol’ Eason clan.
“We have a lot of traffic with them!” the 911 operator chuckles.
Of course, this is not the first time Jenelle called 911 to report that David was getting violent. In October 2018, The Ashley broke the news that Jenelle had called for emergency services after she claimed David assaulted her. She sobbed throughout the call, claiming that that she was worried he had broke her collarbone. (She later stated that it was all “a big drunken misunderstanding.”)
In the six months since Jenelle made her call from the attic, Jenelle and David have lost custody of all of the children they share. They are currently fighting to regain custody of at least some of their kids.
Jenelle and David have yet to respond publicly to this latest 911 call being exposed.
UPDATE: The folks over on Reddit pointed out that, on December 23, David was spotted at Lowe’s home improvement store purchasing what appears to be– you guessed it!— a new front door!

People like Jenelle, provoke any attention, negative or positive. They will not stop until they drain you, it is up to the other adults in the room to stop exchanging with her and finally see that their attempts are futile. The adults need to change their behavior, seek counseling for themselves and move on. Janelle is an anchor, she will take down a sinking ship with all of her disorders and she has a list of them.
This happened on a Sunday night. Would Kaiser be there? Even if he was with Nathan for the weekend, he would have been back at the house by Sunday night right? Wonder if anyone (with SM, I don’t have any accounts) can see if Kaiser was at the house that weekend.
I think Nathan or someone used to take him to kindergarten Monday morning and Janelle would get him back after he was out from that. I know others that have a similar arrangement – pick up from school on Friday and take them to school on Monday – as it can reduce parent to parent contact when there are issues between them.
#TeamGriffith.
Let me guess, Janelle..it was all a “drunken misunderstanding “. Right?
It is so disturbing that she left her daughter alone and protected only herself.
Let’s hope one of the requirements for them to get the kids back is that they both have jobs, because we all know they will never do that!
She calls it a she shed but it’s teally where she’s kept when David punishes her. It’s not a she shed. It’s Janelle Jail
I’m sorry but LMAO! Not Jenelle Jail, Van Down By The River!
Hm, I am confused too. I thought the concept of a she shed was personal space – a place to be alone. Jenelle-leave-this-mold-house-for-a-few hours-to-be-ALL-ALONE-WITH-KAISER-at-a-hotel-over the-night-no-thanks, does not seem to value that concept much.
In fact Jenelle-yes-i-rather-stay-sans-kids-with-murderous-husband-than-spend-a-day-without-a-taller-not-blood-related-male-within-drug-dealing-and-fighting-distance has an entirely different take on loneliness.
She shed must be punishment aka jail?

Crack shack
Smack shack
I’m confused. Irrelevant she-shed, a maniac with a gun breaking down the front door, keeping an eye on your sleeping toddler through what apparently must holes in the floor, husband calling 911for a welfare check because his wife wouldn’t pick up his call on a lost phone??? You can’t make this she-shit up.Wtf do these loons keep calling 911 likes its Uber eats
?
I posted a reply on someone else’s comment and it says it’s awaiting moderator approval. When did that start?
She really wanted them to know she has a she shed
A Smack Shack.
Janelle sounded pretty calm to me. Very weird
Well this probably just a typical day on the Land.
She. Is. High.
The weed or benzos mellows her out on the call.
You must be right.
Sooooo, he was seen out buying a door after he destroyed it the next day at Lowes. There’s no way she can say this was edited because the photo of him buying the door was posted right after and the 911 call was just released.
Countdown to either rehab or suicide attempt to garner public sympathy…
I’m sorry but I LOLed that the dispatchers were cackling about being on the phone with them. We have a lot of traffic with them ? that’s pretty sad.
Is it just me or does Jenelle sound like she is just making chit chat with an acquaintance on this call? She doesn’t sound scared, worried, or even all that upset?!
My thoughts exactly. Sounds like she’s ordering a pizza. Not an ounce of urgency in her voice. If I were the operator, I’d think it was a prank
**When the 911 operator cares more about your kids than you do**
She didn’t want to wake her up cuz then she’d have to deal with her.
Right! Also, how does Jenelle see her daughter on another floor in the house?
Maybe David punched holes through the attic floor lol

Spidey senses
Merry fuckin Christmas! Just another example of why the children should not be there.
Maryssa, Jace and Kaiser were spared this display of rage and bad parenting thanks to the guardians who now have custody of them. Thankfully they don’t blow off visitation like Jenelle and David.
Exactly!
I love reading stuff like this but then she acts like a bada$$ in front if cameras further traumatizing her daughter saying there are two sides to every story. It’s like what could we possibly be missing or wrong about? JE has always been an unfit mother. Now her 911 games are going to bite her in her a$$ and pocketbook.
No its FINE
we are All FINE
Everything is just FINE
Its all MTVs fault they put David in a bad light. He is great je is a great father.
Now MTV is gone i guess it will be Nathan & Barbaras fault David looks bad
The real question here is what happened to David’s phone? Lol Since he called and texted I have to think it was a simple misunderstanding. Oops-it was in my pocket the whole time. Oh David you silly!
I’m so confused..She-shed thrown into a 911 call, super x-ray vision through attic floors, a baby sleeping left unattended while a maniac with a gun is breaking the front door down. The maniac is outside looking for his phone but somehow magically calls 911 with a fake location because his wife did not pick up his two phone calls but he could tell she was on Facebook! Who calls 911 because someone did not answer the phone? If she us facebooking buddy shes fine WTF
That bitch Jenelle is psycho just like her giraffe looking husband. The
Whole Lot of them are hillbilly goats.
Jenelle had accused a local reporter of “harrassing” her family because he had helped Terry fill out the necessary paperwork to press charges.
( dontcha mean arrassed jenelle)
This is the failed to protect the huge means, you’ll never get these kids back hopefully.
How can she see ensleys room from in the attic? Unless lurch pinched a hole in the bedroom ceiling!!!!
I hope the courts take these 911 calls in to account
Sad Jenelle doesn’t realize how her life is in shambles
Judge I meant
“You failed your children as a mother”
Wonder where the judge got that idea?
Hiding in the attic leaving your child unattended while your husband destroys your front door in a fit of rage.
Parents of the year right here. #parentgoals #relationshipgoals
Thank goodness the children have been taking away!
Mother of the year over there… you’re hiding in fear from a violent man but leave your baby unattended??! If you can hear him smashing things, surely the child can too and is not sleeping soundly??? If you’re unsafe, surely the baby is too?? This woman is a macadamia. No wonder in the video where Jenelle is arguing with Barb outside of the courtroom, Ensley is not crying — she’s already become accustomed to yelling and stress. Good grief.
As for David, why wasn’t he charged? I thought in DV cases the police can charge without witness cooperation? His kids being taken should be followed by his being legally barred from owning guns and owning animals. He is clearly unstable. Law makers/enforcement, please do something!
It’s not against the law to destroy your own property.
It can be used as emotional abuse or intimidation tho…especially with a child in the home
Right but domestic violence is. She reported that he smashed the door in a fit of rage and she was hiding in fear of him. The call just 2 months before was about him physically attacking her and potentially breaking her collarbone. These both count as domestic violence situations, no?
I’m not a lawyer or officer so I’d be interested to know why he wasn’t arrested even if she didn’t want to press charges.
Every state is different on specifics with domestic violence laws.
Dorothy, they didn’t arrest him because she’s the witness and they can’t make a case without a witness. Therefore no point in arresting him since they can’t make the charges stick.
Dorothy (love the SN callback BTW) I think a lot of why David hasn’t been charged with multiple DV incidents is Jenelle always covering for him. Clearly she loves calling the cops out there, but acts like everything is FINE if anyone asks about it. Or even people are crazy to suggest David has a temper or is abusive. She clearly didn’t think David would harm Ensley while he was breaking down the door… and there’s no way, unless she was drugged,that kid was asleep through the whole thing
Thanks @RoastBeef, @Renee, @Kesha Concert, @DLC, @Pain in the Ash, and @Lydia (BTW, some of you guys have some hilarious names!). I’m not familiar with NC laws, so it seems like Jenelle can call 911 unlimited times on the Yeti but nothing will happen until she decides to press DV charges? That’s not the case in my state. Frankly, it’s a shame that the law there has allowed this waste of taxpayer funds and child endangerment to continue unchecked.
Why do I feel like the folks on this site are more alarmed by the danger on the swamp than some of the actual people involved?? Ugh, I’ve had it with these two! I can’t wait until they fade into anonymity — I just want to be sure that the children and animals are safe first.
Happy living in North Carolina
This made me think of “bein’ a felon ain’t illegal!”
Its FINE
Everything is FINE
We are FINE
Why wont people believe it?
All couples fight
All couples call 911 on their spouse every few months…IT’S FINE
Every few months? You’re being generous. Based on the “we get a lot of traffic” comment I would imagine it’s at least a monthly occurrence, most likely multiple times per month. They’re a bunch of psycho idiots.
She didn’t sound all that scared in the phone call – do you think she called 911 more to get David back, rather than because she was scared for her (but apparently not Ensley’s) safety?
so he has NO job a wife that pay’s for his lifestyle, he takes HER money to buy guns, then has the nerve to shoot the dog that he probably cant afford to replace.
What an absolute deadbeat beat. Girls this is who you don’t date, Janelle is so terrified of looking like a looser because all the other Teen mom’s have started to more or less get their lives in order BUT Jenelle she she makes the same mistake over and over and each time it costs her something else. It’s good the money is gone now David will leave her because hes a deadbeat leach, just another man she has to keep in her life because she just had to have a baby with her and he’s going to milk it for all it’s worth.
White trash that won the lottery!
Another fight while they’re under the influence, nobody ever goes to jail because they’re both pointing the finger at each other. David WAY out smarted Jenelle this night by calling for a welfare check… your door is all busted up Mr. Eason- I was worried for my wife and daughter and was locked out.
Jenelle sounds out of breath, they must have been outside before she ran in the house and locked him out.
You’d think the cops would be sick of it and just arrest them both after all these calls, at least alert cps. I can’t help but wonder who’s palm is being greased that all of this got swept away for so long.
MTV $ greasing those palms to keep their “star.” They are complicit. Notice how Jenelle and David are starting to be held responsible since MTV left the picture. They’re despicable, the whole lot of them.

Don’t buy any of these calls they are shopping around for another Network to pick up their story I know that for a fact because somebody contacted me to ask me if I would financially support this
Jenelle is the worst mother I have ever seen. Jenelle is scared of the big bad wolf saying he’s blowing the house down. But she isn’t scared enough to protect her child? No good mother would leave their child in a violent situation that could cause harm. She is dumber than a box of rocks, she gets into screaming matches with Barbara in front of the courthouse bullying the grandmother that is raising her two kids. David starts a screaming match with Nathan. Lord, please don’t let these two psychos have those children back.
Yet she paid 5k to keep him outta jail… that could have been her escape. She’s the WORST!
THIS!
I have no sympathy for the battered wife narrative. She could have let him rot in jail and escape if she was really in constant fear. She is not. She is conditioned to believe this is normal and it’s exactly her own modus operandi.
They should never get those kids back. Save the animals too. Let them drive each other crazy until death do them part.
Jenelle I’m begging you to please leave IMMEDIATELY! If not for nugget, your children, do it for yourself! Girl! How can you live through this?!
Did anyone else hear her say they and then not correct the woman when she said them? Meaning more than one kid in the house
She probably doesn’t count Kiser as one of her children. She despises that boy, Davi and her both because he looks just like Nathan. They just fight for his custody to annoy Nathan.
But why does she say so now I have a she shed-and I have a f!&$@ she shed cough?!?!? It’s m trying to get the she shed she said figured out?!?!?
Pretty sad when a 2 year old can sleep through David flipping out, screaming, and breaking their front door. Smh. Just shows that this is all a normal occurrence on TheLand. As someone below said, I don’t think David would put his hands on Ensley and Maryssa, they’re his blood and he sees them as ‘superior.’ But Jenelle, Jace, and especially poor Kaiser (who looks just like his father, whom David despises) face the brunt of his wrath.
Ensley could have woken up. Jenelle would just ignore her and shut the door if she woke up crying. Ensley may have learned that crying won’t make mommy come to her bedroom though, and soothed herself back to sleep.
Probably gave her something to make her sleep??
I know I’m going to get a lot of responses saying this but I’m going to I am so fed up with seeing people excuse her behavior because she is in a abusive relationship.
-She is so scared and knows he won’t hurt his own kids…STOP…just because your blood he can/will snap on them in the right situation.
-She can’t leave she has batter woman’s syndrome…STOP…she is in the best situation to get help MTV!
There is so much more I want to say but I’m not going to. Please people stop with the EXCUSES FOR HER BEHAVIOR! she is a adult and knows right from wrong.
Well said ??
You should say what you think, be interesting to hear.
And I’m sure it will be the truth too.
You know it’s bad when 911 operators and dispatchers are saying we get a lot of traffic with them and chuckling.
I’m probably giving her WAY too much credit, BUT… what if maybe she didn’t take Ensley with her is that she truly feared David was about to kill her and felt she’s safer in her crib.
The reality is probably that she never even thought of Ensley at all until the dispatch asked her, but still. It’s a generous theory.
This couple who get pissed off when the police come on there swamp to check on there kids and dogs sure are quick to call the POICE for HELP!
☝?☝?☝?☝? ????
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”
This is so disturbing! Why does she defend him so strongly, she is fooling no one!
Girl, run! Seriously! Just becuase this one married you, with a ring that I’m positive you purchased yourself, does not mean that this is love. David only married Jenelle for her daddy issues and money, then knocked her up to really tie her down. David is nothing but an abusive, lazy, gold digging creep!
[* Shield plugin marked this comment as “trash”. Reason: Failed GASP Bot Filter Test (comment token failure) *]
Geez. I am not a fan of Janelle, but my heart breaks for her. This is a girl in a situation that she doesn’t know how to get out of. Her pride is keeping her with her husband, when she really needs to gain the strength to walk away. I know she has a bad past, but at this point, it’s actually really scary. I’m worried this situation may end up in a tragedy.
I hope more info like this comes out…hopefully it’ll make it that much harder for these fools to get those kids back.
And this is a ROL article, who Jenelle has sold several stories to before. So, there’s a good chance this has come from her for $.
Jeez they really need to quit using 911 as their personal concierge. So glad our tax dollars are paying for this nonsense.
I am BY NO MEANS defending her, I’m just curious if this situation gives more insight to typical home life on The Land. The only explanation I can come up with for why Jenelle would leave Ensley asleep and alone (which, no matter what circumstance, is a cowardly and selfish move) is that maybe David has only administered physical violence to those he’s not blood related to, i.e. Maryssa and Ensley. He’s a narcissistic sociopath, completely capable of seeing his own flesh and blood as superior to anyone else’s and focusing his physical rage on those he deems inferior.
Perhaps Jenelle knew from multiple past experiences that Maryssa and Ensley was safe (from physical abuse, not verbal/emotional) and that only Jace, Kaiser, and herself (and their animals, RIP Nugget) were in danger of his physical wrath. Even if this “giving her the benefit of the doubt” situation were the case, she yet again failed as a parent for not protecting them.
It’s obvious he doesn’t discriminate who he unleashes his verbal and emotional abuse on, including his own flesh and blood. What a sick individual. He needs to be incarcerated, for life, so he can’t escalate further.
Y’all … I just can’t. This is exhausting.
“Jenelle insists that she’s right above Ensley’s room and didn’t take the toddler with her because she didn’t want her to wake up”
Lmao. Jenelle was really all about the fuck them kids.
Not sticking up for her because she is horrible without him. But she is definitely suffering from battered woman’s syndrome. Anyone that has ever been in a abusive relationship knows you just don’t get to walk away. There is no way he will ever let her leave him unless it’s in a body bag, she is his meal ticket and the amount of control he possesses over her is scary. He is a man who has a history of domestic abuse usually men like him just go further and further in their abuse.
Well she used to be his meal ticket. Now she’s just another mouth to feed. Speaking of which, she must have gained 30 pounds!
Omg the she shed she said!i know this is a serious convo but I couldn’t help it. Also I remember a video of her looking miserable in her she shed while David was slapping her butt? I try to feel bad for her but the struggle is real…
The 911 operator was more concerned about Jenelle’s child than Jenelle was? Sounds about right.
All of us random commenters on The Ashley’s site are more concerned about Jenelle’s kids than Jenelle.
JW. What does Jenelle do all day? Milk goats, collect eggs, swim in the broken pool, harass Barbara, scroll the internet, plant trees in sand, 4 wheel thru the swamp, get out the sump pump(it pumps out water under the trailer) take selfies,get up animal poop, fix dry wall, fix doors, stay in bed, and make 911 calls.
Ima go with drugs, fighting, 911 calls and posing herself and her kids like plastic dolls on social media.
You forgot take baths! That’s her happy/relaxation place you know lol.
…Reads @TheAshleys articles about her and little dick and down votes them
David dinky dick??
Jenelle is one of those people who thinks domestic violence means UBT loves her. “Look how much he loves me! He bashed the door down to get to me! Look how much he loves me! He ripped the chain off my neck cause it was a gift from my son!”
Jenelle’s addicted to drama. It’s a ‘high’ for her and the kids are a verrrrry distant 4th place (after d*ck of the month, herself and drugs).
This is so sad. I honestly keep checking on
The Ashley for when he kills her. So freaking twisted I think it’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
???
Sadly most women in abusive relationships think the men that hit and abuse love them. They confuse controlling behaviour for love. Jenelle is somebody that never got love as child and clearly felt rejected by her father and mother ,you can see that from a mile of by the way she places everything into men no matter how bad they are. So yeah on one hand she does live for drama but when it comes to men I don’t think it’s drama it’s the fear of being rejected again for her. So she will put up with anything a man does to her.
I was physically and mentally abused by my bio dad for 15 years (ran away at 15) and I’d KILL a man that laid a finger on me or my babies…. just saying
