After months of snarking back and forth online with her former galpal Jenelle Evans, TikTok star Gabbie Egan is inviting the fired ‘Teen Mom’ star to come on her podcast to confront their beef head-on… and Gabbie’s even offering to foot the bill!
Gabbie and Jenelle had an off-and-on friendship for years, but rekindled things in 2024 when Jenelle left her husband David Eason. Gabbie supported Jenelle through the break-up, even attending Jenelle’s cringe-tastic divorce party last year. However, the girls’ friendship soured (again) once Gabbie found out that Jenelle got back together with David earlier this year. After Gabbie publicly called Jenelle out for rekindling her marriage (despite accusing David of abuse and other unsavory things), she and Jenelle have been battling on The Interwebs.
Gabbie recently discussed her fallout with Jenelle on her The Softy Podcast, something Jenelle was not happy about. Over the past few days, Gabbie and Jenelle have been posting about each other online. However, on Sunday, Gabbie finally attempted to put a stop to the social media snarking and offered Jenelle a chance to meet her face-to-face to settle their disagreements.
“Hey Jenelle, I have airline points and microphones. You have opinions. Let’s put them all in the same room,” Gabbie wrote on social media. “I’ll fly to you with all the podcast equipment, rent a studio, set everything up, and we can finally clear the air with an episode on The Softy Podcast instead of communicating through subtweets and sneak disses lmao.
“LET ME KNOW,” she continued. “I’ll book the flight and get this in motion asap.”
Earlier on Sunday, Gabbie took a very obvious crack at Jenelle.
“I’d probably hate me too if I spent more time worrying about someone else’s life than fixing my own, let a man derail every opportunity that came my way, constantly talked about big plans but never made any of them happen, tore other women down to make myself feel better, and stayed stuck instead of creating the stability and life I wanted for myself and for my kids. lol,” she wrote. “The older I get the more I realize I have a lot of blessings for miserable people to be mad about lol.”
Jenelle— who recently moved to Florida with David in tow—- didn’t immediately respond to Gabbie’s offer. However, another one of Jenelle’s nemesis– Kail Lowry— did comment on Gabbie’s post.
“Can I come too,” Kail asked.
“Duh!” Gabbie— who recently appeared at one of Kail’s live tour shows— replied.
Interestingly, Kail has also offered Jenelle the opportunity to come on one of her podcasts and hash out their beef. In 2022, Kail said she tried to extend the olive branch to Jenelle but her peace gathering offering was shot down, when Jenelle passed on Kail’s offer to appear on her Barely Famous podcast.
In 2019, Kail invited Jenelle to be on Coffee Convos. At the time, Jenelle was living apart from David and The Ashley broke the news that MTV was considering filming the podcast interview for ‘Teen Mom 2.’ Jenelle agreed to go on Kail’s podcast—but only if Kail was willing to publicly apologize for mistreating her in the past. Kail refused and Jenelle turned down the invitation.
“I feel like Kail uses who she wants to gain popularity, and I wasn’t up for that,” Jenelle said in a YouTube video posted June 2021, explaining why she turned down that request. “This podcast wasn’t about Kail wanted to reconcile with me. It was really about ratings. I feel like, in the past, Kail has always used me…It’s always been using people with her and I don’t know if she’ll ever change.”
Anyway, Gabbie has yet to reveal if Jenelle has contacted her privately with a response to her invitation.
Last week, Gabbie stated that— despite their long-running feud— she doesn’t hate Jenelle.
“Honestly, like, this whole thing does make me really sad,” Gabbie said in regard to Jenelle reconciling with her swampy ex-soulmate. “…whenever you do something like go back to somebody who did that kind of stuff to you, your kids; ruined your reputation— not that she didn’t ruin it herself some— but I really did feel like she was in her redemption era. And it was really sad to watch her throw it all away.
“And then now I’m in a public feud with her. I’m not really hurt about it, but I am sad for her.”
UPDATE! On Monday, Jenelle responded to Gabbie’s offer by insisting she wasn’t going to respond.
As you do…
“I’m not commenting on the drama, I’m over it,” Jenelle wrote. “Let them keep talking and I’ll sit back and watch #MeanGirlEnergy”
Less than an hour later, Jenelle commented again.
“You think for a second I would give personal details of my life away for free to some bishes for them to make money off my story? Think again. #LastThought,” she wrote.
“I make more money than what they can offer me,” Jenelle told someone in the comments section of her post, adding, “They don’t have enough money to pay me to go on it. I make more money on my own accounts.”
Jenelle insisted to another person that she’s not scared to go on Gabbie’s podcast.
“Scared of what?” she wrote. “There’s nothing to even talk about. All of you bring up my past 24/7 and it’s getting old.”
“They created imaginary drama out of nowhere like they do every few times a year,” Jenelle told someone else of Gabbie.
Gabbie later responded to Jenelle’s claims about her not having enough money to pay Jenelle to come on her podcast.
“Yeah, I can’t exactly ‘afford’ to have you as a guest on my podcast… considering we don’t pay any of our guests,” Gabbie wrote. “It’s also pretty wild to call me a ‘brokey’ when you were the one asking me to connect you with my agency and help you land more brand deals. Now you’re trying to slander my sobriety and call me poor? Pick a lane.
“Thank God I’m surrounded by normal people now, with genuine friends and opportunities that came after all of this. If you don’t want to come on the podcast, just say that. It’s okay to admit you’re scared because you know I’d show up prepared with good questions, receipts, and an actual conversation.”
“I’d come on your podcast too… but, well, you don’t have one yet,” Gabbie continued. “Not everything is about money, Jenelley. Lol. Let me know if you change your mind. I’ll book the flight and get things set up asap!”
Stay tuned…

Call me crazy, but I’m starting to think their actually all friends and just do this for drama and the spotlight. Pretty sure it has been done before with others. Jenelle and Tori done it fot years. I know it’s crazy but hey, it’s what I’m currently thinking. Just a simple opinion and not defending anyone.
If it was anybody but Jenelle, that might be possible. Unfortunately, Jenelle’s level of petty grudge-holding is unrivaled, especially when David fans the flames against someone he doesn’t like. Since David hates both Gabby and Kailyn, I can’t see that happening.
People keep talking like Gabbie farts rainbows. But she spends her time bickering online with Jenelle Evans. Soo…
I cannot stand the narrative that Jenelle is just some drooling dummy and David pulls her around on a leash. Jenelle is not stupid. She is not some little girl. She is not coerced or trapped or stuck. She does the things she does because she wants to. She is a grown woman making a choice to be with a man and choosing what she does and doesn’t do, on a daily basis. Jenelle is responsible for Jenelle. There are so many women who are actually stuck to an abusive man and they can’t find their way out. Jenelle is in no way confused or lost. She is not reliant on him to survive. She is just a type of woman who simply WANTS the type of man that David is.
Agreed! Jenelle was out of the relationship and on the other side of the country from David. She chose to start over with him and then willingly moved back in with him and pays for everything with her butthole pitchers. She knows exactly who she is dealing with and what she is doing.
Truer words were never spoken. The biggest reason she’s with the swamp monster is because no one else wants her and she cannot stand to be alone. She tried for a year and a half to find a replacement for August/Daniel and couldn’t manage to find another loser to support, so when Kenleigh dumped UBT’s ass, she jumped at the chance to take him back. Now, she has a built in babysitter again and someone to wait on her hand and foot in exchange for paying for everything. She’s been a (horrible) parent for 17 years and has only been solely responsible for her kids for about 18 months and couldn’t handle it.
This just sounds thirsty. Who cares about squashing beef with Janelle? Janelle out here like an 80’s Wendy’s commercial asking “Where’s the beef?!”
Ratings + JE is a more well known public figure than Gabbie & this will bring her mainstream attention.
We all know JE would never do it (for many reasons) but still funny.
Jenelle is well known but not well liked. Gabbie is well known and well liked.
Flair checking in.
Jenelle wouldn’t go, she can’t take the questions she’d be asked
She would never. The one time she was ever actually confronted by Nessa about her sm posts, where she couldn’t run away, she broke down in tears and threw a tantrum. She will never allow anyone to corner her and actually hold her accountable for her actions and behaviors.
No way Jenelle would actually show up. She’d agree to go and plans would be made, but she’d flake at the last minute. Jenelle needs to be in control of the narrative, no matter how convoluted her version is. If she can’t control the questions and she’s not prepared to be truthful about why she’s bedding down again with her kids’ abuser, she won’t show up.
David will want flewed out too. Hotel accommodations, rental car, spending money.
This won’t happen bc of David’s demands getting denied.
Jenelle is a coward and wouldn’t show anyways, but Gabby is right, David ruins Jenelle’s opportunities.
Or Jenelle ruins Jenelle’s opportunities because she is a grown woman who stays with David because she wants to. David cannot keep being “the reason” Jenelle does this or that. She’s a grown woman. Jenelle is the reason for what goes on in her life. Period.
