‘Teen Mom’ News Pile: David Eason Claims MTV Lost “Millions” Of Viewers By Firing Him & Jenelle Evans; Jade Cline’s Mom Avoids Jail Time & More

“Your loss, MTV!”

From building their egos to building their podcast networks, the stars of the ‘Teen Mom’ franchise (both past and present) have been keeping themselves busy lately! In an effort to keep you up-to-date on the latest Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 news, The Ashley brings you the Teen Mom News Pile. 

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that have happened over the last week or so…

David Eason claims MTV lost “millions” of viewers by firing him & Jenelle Evans.

“Lemme walk that dang red carpet next time and show ’em how it’s done.”

Fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ husband and resident swamp dweller David Eason took a break from watching his wife Jenelle Evans dance and self-diagnosis on TikTok to share his thoughts on the Academy Awards drama involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. In the same Facebook conversation he also posted his thoughts on how many viewers he thinks ‘Teen Mom 2’ has lost since he and Jenelle were booted from the show several years back.

On Facebook, David stated that he felt the fight between Chris and Will was fake.  

“Not a couple of famous actors pretending to fight AND cry making headlines…. Like haven’t you ever watched any of their movies?” David asked. “Same s**t different stage.” 

That wasn’t the most-interesting part of the conversation, however. David–- spewer of hate speech and lover of all things animal carcass–- went on in his Facebook rant to relate the situation to his former MTV gig after someone referred to him as “the ‘Teen Mom 2’ guy.” 

“Yea and MTV lost millions of views without Teen Mom 2 Guy and Jenelle but if they pulled a publicity stunt like this with us ratings would skyrocket,” David wrote. 

 

All of us while reading that…

In response to David’s take on the ‘Teen Mom 2’ ratings, one person pointed out that viewers likely stopped watching because they love trash TV and with Jenelle and David no longer on the show, ‘Teen Mom 2’ has lost its trashy appeal. 

“Yeah they lost millions of viewers cuz of you and Jenelle being gone,” the comment read. “I lost all respect for you two when you abused her and her children and you killed her dog and she stayed with you. But you’re right trash probably does bring in ratings soooo.” 

Surprisingly, one person came to David’s defense, proving that every dog has its day. (Unless that dog happens to belong to David and Jenelle, of course.)

“ … without Jenelle the show sucks,” Jenelle the individual wrote. “I’m always watching for new YouTube content from her because I love watching you guys and the kids grow up!”

‘Teen Mom 2’ grandma Christy Smith won’t be heading to jail after all.  

“WHEW! That was a close one! Now I gotta find another place where I can get three hots and a cot.”

Christy Smith, mother of ‘Teen Mom 2’ star Jade Cline, will need to secure a couch to surf on for the foreseeable future as she has dodged her 90-day jail sentence. 

“…to change my locks and phone number before Christy gets any ideas.”

According to The Sun, Christy–- who was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia back on October 11, 2018–- accepted a plea deal in September, in which she agreed to pay court fees and serve 90 days in jail with no probation.

While Christy was gearing up to take on her 90 days in the slammer, an Indiana judge was lenient at her official sentencing and instead gave Christy probation for one year. 

Christy’s thoughts on staying anywhere other than Jade’s house during this time…

As part of the agreement, Christy pleaded guilty to the possession of marijuana charge, though the possession of paraphernalia count was dismissed. 

In addition to probation, Christy has agreed to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and pay court fees and fines. 

After Tuesday’s episode of ‘TM2’ aired, Jade opened up about her mom’s legal situation on Instagram Stories.

“My mom isn’t a bad person,” Jade wrote. “Just a person going though a tough time and struggles with depression. Today she’s in such a good place. She’s working, never went to jail. She’s a lot happier and has more stability. I hope me and her can continue to work on having that healthy relationship with good boundaries.

“A lot has changed since then and over this last year,” Jade continued. “I have changed a lot.” 

Vee Rivera announces that she’s launching another podcast.

Isaac Rivera reveals how he feels about filming for ‘Teen Mom 2,’ as well his mom’s former husband, Javi Marroquin.

Insights with Isaac Podcast coming in 3…2…1…

On the latest episode of Kail Lowry’s Barely Famous podcast, Kail welcomed a co-star that’s been with her since her 16 and Pregnant debut: her son Isaac Rivera. 

During the episode, Kail talked to Isaac– who is now 12– about various activities and hobbies he enjoys before asking if he also enjoys filming. 

“Well, it depends on what we’re filming and what it’s for,” he said. “So like, podcasts, they’re fun. Um, for MTV? I don’t really love it.” 

“Don’t look at me! He came to that conclusion completely on his own!”

Isaac also opened up about what it’s like being recognized in public, revealing people have come up to him and asked to take a photo of him at school. Isaac said people in public also occasionally ask to take photos with him and his family– “sometimes without permission.”

“That makes me a little uncomfortable … ,” he said.

While Isaac acknowledged the downside to reality TV fame, he admitted “it’s nice to have like, the money and stuff.” 

“You’re definitely my kid,” Kail joked. 

When discussing the dynamics of their family, Isaac told his mom he remembers when she didn’t get along with his stepmom, Vee. 

“I remember you and Vee hating each other, you never got along,” he said. “Now you guys are like best friends.” 

Two peas in a podcast.

As for his relationship with Kail’s ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, Isaac said he still considers Javi his stepdad. 

“I think we’ve always…we’ve never, like, hated each other or anything,” Isaac said. “I still call him my stepdad. I call him Javi, but I still consider him my stepdad.”

  1. Poor Isaac. He seems like such a sweet kid. He didn’t sign up for this life and he shouldn’t have to deal with it so his mom can afford a new house/car/vacation.


  2. David delusional no one wants to watch dog killer and Janelle eho didn’t put her kids and pets first before this loser. Kail should quit making son film kids deserve semi normal life and privacy not being paycheck for parents. Shouldnt have to live with this crap his whole life. Give Chelsea credit for putting Aubrey needs before her own now thats a mother


  3. Isaac is such a sweet and smart kid. I hope he will get some more privacy now when he is older. He seems sensitive and would probably not do well with people blaming him for stuff Kail did.


  4. Sorry, Richard-head (David). No one has ever enjoyed watching you and your wife abuse those children. MTV needs to shut all this type of programming down and stop rewarding these irresponsible people.


  5. Isaac seems as well adjusted as can be expected I suppose, considering.

    Oh God David shut the fuck up.


    1. No one wants to watch former teen moms build/move into mansions and go on vacations every other week.
