It’s been a rough few days for Jenelle Evans.
The fired Teen Mom star has been catching a lot of flak for continuing to party with her pal Tori Rhyne, despite having to call 911 on her son Jace on Saturday. Fans slammed Jenelle for posting as she shopped for lingerie, filmed for OnlyFans and had a la-dee-dah time with Tori while her 15-year-old was seemingly struggling. (As The Ashley told you, Jenelle asked the police to take Jace away and put him on an involuntary hold for “smashing everything” in her Vegas home, but was told no.)
After several days of getting harsh criticism online, Jenelle took to Facebook to declare that she’s putting her “family first,” despite her “busy” schedule…and it did not go over well.
“I’m so busy but put everything on pause for my babies #FamilyFirst,” Jenelle wrote.
Given Jenelle’s actions after the 911 call— which include selling the story about Jace to a clickbait site (as you do)— her “family first” comment was not well-received. Nearly all of the more than 300 comments left under the post were negative.
“You have never done anything for your babies besides birth them,” one person wrote.
“Yeah you’re only saying that cuz a bunch of people have called you out!” another person commented. “Trying to save your image again but it’s ruined so you might as well give up.”
“Damage control,” someone else wrote. “It’s pretty sad.”
“Unless you already planned to go get drunk with Tori in another state.. that can’t be paused for NOBODAAAAY,” another comment read.
Jenelle attempted to defend herself (and her post), but ended up putting her foot in her mouth even more, thanks to her admitting that she has to force herself to act like a mother.
“This post refers to all my business I’ve been doing lately and just getting behind because I force myself to be a mother before anything else, like I always have,” Jenelle insisted, before stating that she has changed since her 16 and Pregnant days.
“A highly edited tv show doesn’t always show the truth, but you all are gullible to still believe I’m ’16 years old’ in your heads. I’m 33 now, time to move on from the stereotype I’ve been given,” she wrote.
When someone advised Jenelle to keep her kids off social media, Jenelle insisted that she has been, only to be called out again for posting a clickbait story about Jace two days earlier, essentially profiting off the situation.
Jenelle then busted out a “Portwood,” insisting she’s a damn good mom despite what people think.
“I’m such a good mother I actually care too much about all my children,” she wrote. “Until you know me personally you don’t have any right to give an opinion on my life. Haven’t been on tv in years.”
UPDATE! Hours after posting about putting everything on “pause” for her babies, Jenelle was back out at several bars in Vegas with Tori, documenting as they bar-hopped into the wee hours of the night. Fans commented on the irony of the situation in the comment section of Tori’s post from Thursday night.
“She’s out doing this while her son is spiraling?” one person wrote.
“Hey, she forced herself to be a mom first!” someone else replied.

We all saw her abandon baby Jace with Barbara and then yell for years how he was stolen. She cried and cried for years about how she wasn’t allowed to be a mother to Jace and since he’s been in her care he has been removed multiple times and she’s called the police on him multiple times. Jenelle has done everything she can to ruin Jaces life. He would of been better off if Jenelle had stayed out of his life. She is truly a terrible mother.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW!! She just lost ANY court case she has against David including custody of Ensley! If you’re FORCING yourself to be a Mother, then FORCE yourself to use BIRTH CONTROL! Now you have THREE children who do NOT deserve the crap they’ve been through in their short lives. LET DAVID RAISE ENSLEY! I don’t think he’s ideal by any means, but at least he WANTS and LOVES his child. LET KAISER be with his PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER/FAMILY. He would have been settled and rooting if you wouldn’t have yanked him there then uprooted him again. My heart just breaks for JACE. Where can he even go?? WTF is HIS father doing? I mean, seriously, didn’t he say “I’m always here for you…” blah, blah. blah?? Well YOUR SON NEEDS YOU! Even if life is difficult there, LOOK what Jace is going through with his loosey goosey hootchie pants of a “Mother”! This kid is in Las Vegas, with NO direction. He can be trafficked, he can be murdered, he can overdose. Granted those things can happen anywhere, but why push it along even faster?? He’s so close of aging out of ANY “state system”. If this kid does something to himself and that HOLE of a “Mother” dares to try to garner ANY kind of sympathy, GOD help her. She better realize there are some things that only GOD can forgive, but there are some things that NOT EVEN GOD will forgive!
Unbelievable! Forcing herself to be a mother?! When??? In between bong hits?! Taking time from her busy schedule and “business” ventures to be a parent??? Millions of working parents manage to do it everyday, sober and working real full time jobs.
Can you imagine what her resume would look like if she tried to get a job? Job experience: Z List unemployed reality television personality, failed entrepreneur of eyebrow kits, fired product spokesperson due to murder of family dog, Only Fans foot model. Personal interests: Gun and marijuana enthusiast.
Good grief.
Jace is still clearly struggling, he needs a lot of support & help, her calling 911 as a punishment isn’t the answer, get him in some therapy, speak to someone about your concerns over his behaviour, there’s lots of help out there she could be utilising rather than making excuses on the internet.
I understand she doesn’t want to be judged by her past or how she came across on TM, but she doesn’t help herself, she’s done nothing to improve her public image or even sorted herself out mentally to provide a more stable environment for her kids.
If you know you’ve made mistakes regarding your kids, you’d be doing your best now to improve & make it up to them, partying would be a last priority. Everyone needs downtime, I agree with that, but not at the expense of making situations with your child worse. Jace clearly has triggers & I think Janelle whether on purpose or not hits those triggers. Get to the root of it.
Familiarizing him with law enforcement and effectively normalizing police response to domestic issues is a very formative way to ensure a child has repressed emotional regulation and mistrust. You’re acting out and some strangers in uniform have to show up to help get you under control multiple times at that age? Jenelle thinks that’s normal and it’s easier to make sure he has access to marijuana and whatever else keeps him complacent instead of making sure he’s going to his therapies and keeping up with his school work and self-care. She’s full of it and doesn’t realize where she’d be without her reality television opportunities. I won’t sit here and presume to know the ins and outs of the situation but she shouldn’t have those kids and the dad’s that know her lifestyle and allow her to ‘raise’ them will have no one to blame but themselves when these children find themselves in less-than-ideal situations.
She has literally said herself she keeps him from treatment. She removed him from the therapies he was in for years. She took away the medication he needs to deal with various issues. She prevents him from getting any sort of help at all. It’s not a rumor, it’s something she has admitted to several times. Her reasoning has always been that he “doesn’t need it” (yet ALL research and actual facts prove otherwise, let’s not confuse poor fivehead with facts though, of course).
I think, have always thought and see absolutely nothing even slightly hinting at anything contrary to this train of thought…that she will not allow him to get treatment because during therapy he is free to say whatever it is he wants to say. A therapist, a psychologist, any specialist any of her children see can and will ask questions. Kids are quite likely to answer those questions, especially someone like Jace. He has a LOT to say about his home life, his pre-birth incubator and all that might entail. IF Jace ever opens up (or rather, when), the jig is up for Jenelle and she’ll likely be back under yet, another, CPS case. This is her biggest fear, imo, that someone will actually expose more than just what we see, hear, and read about.
One of these times, CPS will do their jobs properly. She was forced to get some basic medical care for the kids (she put off Ensley’s ENT treatment for YEARS!), forced to get tutoring for the younger two, forced to prove she can be a parent (truthfully, she’s still not proven that). She’s doing whatever she can to make it seem like Jace is the problem, because she thinks it’s a clever way to get people to ignore what the left hand is doing. If the kid sees a doctor, all bets are off and all hands get exposed.
I’ve seen it play out the same way more times than I care to count.
I think you’ve nailed it 100%!!
Well, here’s to David using her own words against her to get custody of Ensley🍻 What a dumbass🙄
“ I actually care too much about all my children”
SAID NO MOTHER, EVER!
Jenelle is using 911 to parent and punishment her children.
She’s no motha!
She between sole mates, what do you expect her to do? She’s not about to parent by herself dude!
She sounds likes a sociopath pretending to be someone capable of love. I don’t think she capable of loving anyone but herself.
Lord, please help these children. 🤍
And how could anyone scoff louder at her lies, than “those children” that she “makes time for” in her busy schedule.
What a selfless woman she is to go home to her offspring after her party weekend is over. 🏆🙄
She needs to force herself to “be a mother” (or as close as she is able to be that) because she doesn’t have a motherly bone in her body. Which is fine given that you don’t go having children and we know that’s not the case here
When your kid is having mental health problems, you do everything in your power to get them help. That’s what good parents do. They don’t call cops on them. They don’t leave them at home to go partying. They don’t post about them online. They stay home and consistently parent them. They consistently show them love and support. They put their kids above all else and build trust. That’s what parenting is about. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth doing the work. She will never know the satisfaction of seeing her kids turn out to be loving and stable people because she always keeps them in chaos and fear. It’s sick and it’s neglectful. I pray her kids grow up to get away from her influence as soon as they can and cut her completely out of their lives.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I dont know if you heard but she cares about her kids TOO much lolol like who says this shit?! As a mother, that’s not really possible. She is like an alien trying to impersonate human emotions
At what point exactly has she ever acted like a mother?
I literally have no life outside my kids (they’re small) I never do anything without them and yet I still feel like a shitty mom so Amber and her are ridiculous and lying when they tell you they think they’re good moms. Good moms feel like they’re never good enough. Shitty ones always think they’re good
Don’t denigrate yourself. Good moms shouldn’t say they aren’t good. We always do our best and as long as we never give up on our kids, as long as we are always there for them and love them, we are good moms!
Uhhhhh….this is insane. I don’t even have words. What kind of a person claims they “force” themselves to be a mother. I absolutely hate to say this. I hate it, but David may actually be a better option as a parent. He claims he was their caretaker and I do believe him.
I’m not a mom so I can’t relate but… don’t put yourself down like that. You actually sound like a damn good mom. Definitely better than the Swamp Queen. You try. She doesn’t. That will always make you better.
This is because you ARE a great mom! You said it yourself, your kids are your whole life, so you know you are doing everything you can for them! I also feel this way, that I’m not enough for my daughter. But reality is we are human and we are actually trying to keep our kids happy and healthy and safe. Same can’t be said about Jenelle!
Girl, same. I’ve got five and the oldest is eight, youngests are one-year-old twins. I never don’t have a kid with me. Even if my husband watches them so I can go grocery shopping without the extra hassle, I still take one of the older kids with me for one-on-one time. Don’t put yourself down, you caring enough to worry if you’re doing a good job or not already makes you an infinitely better mother than the Jenelles and Ambers of the world.
Jenelle, however, counts the minutes until she can get away from her kids and do anything other than mothering. A good mother having some time to herself if her kids are taken care of is perfectly fine, but we all know that’s not the situation with Jenelle.
God bless you for having five! That’s a handful
That was perfect 👌
Just like smart people don’t say that they’re smart, good parents don’t say that they’re good parents because they’re looking for ways to be even better because they actually care about their kids so much. I’m sure that you’re doing great!
Bad moms don’t worry about if they’re good moms or not, only good ones do. You’re doing an amazing job, please know that!
