Jenelle Evans: Barbara Evans & Debra Danielsen Are BOTH Losers!
Of the many feuds waged by Jenelle Evans over the years, perhaps none has been uglier than her ongoing war with her mother, Barbara Evans.
Barbara has custody of Jenelle’s oldest son, Jace, and while it was a situation that Jenelle seemed to resignedly accept for several years, these days, she’s railing against her mother for allegedly using Jace to help her hold on to reality TV fame.
Jenelle is so pissed at her mother that she’s even going after another infamous Teen Mom mom for good measure:
In response to a Starcasm article about Barbara filming the Teen Mom after-show with Farrah Abraham’s mother, Debra Danielsen, Jenelle tweeted this:
“Two moms that only care about fame and starting drama.”
Yes, Jenelle is repeating her argument that her mother is only raising a grandchild by herself because she wants to remain on MTV.
She’s also added a new bombshell to the mix of accusations, claiming that her mom has refused to accept financial support for Jace.
When a fan speculated that Jenelle doesn’t pay child support, the Carolina Hurricane responded:
“I did and my mom cancelled it and told the system she didn’t need it.”
Jenelle has come a long way in the past year or so, and some fans clearly want to give her the benefit of the doubt in the Barbara decision … but as with everything involving Jenelle, it’s not easy:
“I’m trying so hard to be Team Jenelle, I know you’re doing so good now.. but your mom earned her spot on the show. You signed up for this,” wrote a user named Shawna Edwards.
Jenelle countered by … basically repeating the same argument?
“I signed up for this not her…” Jenelle confusingly tweeted.
Perhaps realizing the nonsensical nature of her own argument, Evans went on to claim that she’s grateful for everything Babs has done in the past, but believes that at this point, her mother is raising Jace for the wrong reasons:
“Yeah and I appreciate all that’s she’s done but it’s time now,” Jenelle tweeted.
Naturally, Jenelle concluded the conversation by slipping in a plug for her memoir, which hits stores in June.
When a fan suggested that were it not for Babs, Jace might have grown up in foster care, Jenelle replied:
“No he def wouldn’t and my book will explain the truth.”
Take a moment to enjoy the irony of the fact that Jenelle is accusing other people of using her kids for fame.
Then watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive Evans’ many bonkers moments.

Maci Bookout: I Don"t Have a Drinking Problem, Leave Me Alone!
Maci Bookout has always been a Teen Mom favorite, and for good reason.
She’s a great mother, she’s smart, she’s driven. She’s dealt with a lot with her ex, borderline deadbeat dad Ryan Edwards, and it’s been so wonderful to see her finally get a happy ending with Taylor McKinney.
But although Maci is just so lovely, and although she’s the only Teen Mom OG star who’s never really gone through a dark time, she’s not perfect.
And we don’t mean that she’s not perfect in the way that nobody’s perfect.
We mean she’s not perfect in the way that many, many Teen Mom viewers believe that she may have a drinking problem.
She’s often seen with a beer on the show or on social media — there was a time that you saw her with one more often than not.
The issue (the issue as perceived by fans, that is) was so serious that she was even accused of drinking while pregnant with her third child, Maverick.
In a strange turn of events, Maci claimed that she didn’t find out she was pregnant until she was well into her second trimester, which was honestly a little odd in itself.
After all, she’d been pregnant twice before, she has such a small frame, and when she did share the news, she had a rather large bump. It seems strange that she wouldn’t have known.
But when Teen Mom fans heard about the pregnancy, they immediately pointed out that in previous months, throughout her first trimester, Maci was photographed with booze, and she’d even been seen knocking back beers on the show.
There are a few explanations for this. Maci could have really not known she was pregnant, or she could have kept the news to herself and pretended to drink to keep the rumors at bay.
Even disregarding the drinking while pregnant scandal though, some people think she drinks a little too much.
And in her second memoir, I Wasn’t Born Bulletproof: Lessons I’ve Learned (So You Don’t Have To), she confronts that talk head-on.
In one part of the book, she discusses a specific bit of controversy that came about when Taylor shared a photo of Maci holding baby Jayde and also a beer.
“The reaction that followed was intense,” she wrote. “People accused me of being a horrible, negligent mother; of drinking too much; of putting my newborn in mortal danger.”
“It’s one beer,” she continued, “folks I am an adult, over the legal drinking age, and just because I’m a mom that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a beer on a Sunday evening with my husband.”
“Newsflash: Mothers Are Human Beings. We are flawed, hard-working, well-intentioned, exhausted individuals; we do our best, we make mistakes, but above all we love our children.”
If you think she’s done, then obviously you don’t know Maci.
“While obviously I don’t condone excessive drinking,” she explained, “having a beer — or even smoking the occasional cigarette — does not warrant a call to Child Services, and it does not make you a bad mother.”
And there you have it.
While a solid amount of Teen Mom sleuths will no doubt continue to theorize about Maci’s drinking habits, the fact remains that she’s obviously a good mother.
And she’s also very, very obviously not bothered by anyone saying otherwise.
