Last week, we learned that Briana DeJesus will be joining the cast of Teen Mom 2,
Briana starred in the short-lived Teen Mom 3, and while that series failed to find an audience, producers were reportedly impressed with Briana’s ability to deliver dramatic fireworks.
Not surprisingly, there have been reports that the show’s current stars are not happy about DeJesus joining the cast.
Not only are the girls reportedly upset about losing screen time, at least one of them has personal beef with DeJesus.
Jenelle Evans clashed with DeJesus on Twitter back in 2014.
Evans retweeted an article in which DeJesus defended her boyfriend, who had been accused of abuse.
Briana wasted no time in clapping back:
“I’m not even gonna dog u bc the whole world knows the truth about u,” Briana tweeted.
“Just stay in ur lane and maybe grow up a little bit.”
Yes, there’s no greater insult than “you’re not even worth insulting,” and Jenelle clearly took the comment to heart.
In a rare show of restraint, she didn’t fire back at DeJesus (possibly because she realized she’d met her match), but that doesn’t mean the feud is over.
Asked about her feelings on DeJesus joining the show in a recent interview, Jenelle said a whole lot without saying much at all:
“I’m not commenting on it at all,” she told TheDirty.com.
“MTV wanted me to film about it and I even told them no.”
Yes, Jenelle won’t even comment on DeJesus for MTV cameras.
It’s another case of the ladies of Teen Mom 2 not really understanding what makes compelling television, but it’s also an indication of how deep the bad blood between Jenelle and Brianna really goes.
In a way, the ladies of TM2 should be excited about the addition of DeJesus, as the addition of new blood is usually good for ratings.
But it seems the fear of losing screen time and storylines, as well as the personal dislike for Briana, runs deeper than we initially thought.
Despite their membership in the exclusive Teen Mom franchise sorority, only one of the ladies from either show follows Kailyn on Twitter.
That would be Kailyn Lowry, and even she has declined to comment on the news that Briana will be joining the cast full time.
Sounds like Briana should be happy that she only has to seen her co-stars at the reunion show.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to get caught up in time for Briana’s big debut.
