If you’ve been following the drama surrounding the Jenelle Evans-Nathan Griffith custody battle, then you might think that Griffith is a devoted dad, who desperately wants to spend more time with his son.
According to a new report from Radar Online, however, it seems that Nathan is more interested in filming a new season of Teen Mom than being a father.
An unidentified friend of Jenelle’s tells the website that Nathan’s primary reason for making Jenelle’s life more difficult is staying on the show:
“MTV has been filming Nathan lately,” says the source. “He has been filming without his son and with his friends.
“It seems like he cares more about being on TV than his child. It’s weird.”
Weird, indeed, but it certainly makes sense.
The Teen Mom franchise is so successful that even baby daddies can pull in six figures for a single season.
Nathan surely knows that if he stops creating drama with Jenelle, he’ll probably go the way of her many other exes.
So when he throws a fit and accuses Jenelle of leaving the country with Kaiser, you can assume an MTV crew is on hand to capture the ensuing fight.
Unfortunately, the insider says that Nathan’s interest in his son’s life ends when the cameras are gone.
“He didn’t see Kai at all through the holiday weekend,” says Jenelle’s friend. “Nathan hasn’t spoken to Jenelle. He tried reaching out to a friend of hers after her Instagram got hacked, but Jenelle hasn’t heard from him since that.
“It doesn’t surprise Jenelle that this is what he is doing because something – gym, tanning, filming – has always been more important than Kai to Nathan.”
Yikes. It’s hard to believe, but it sounds as though Jenelle is actually in the right for once.
Hopefully she can get this “friend” to testify at a custody hearing.
