Sticking by her side!
Jenelle Evans’ former co-star Briana DeJesus is throwing her support behind her friend who lost custody of all of her children.
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Briana said that she believes Jenelle should have custody of the children she lost after a judge took them away, telling her she “failed to protect” them while they were in her custody.
The shocking support comes after RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed that Jenelle was fired by MTV following the scandal.
The pair filmed scenes together during Jenelle’s final season on Teen Mom 2 after her husband David Eason was fired for his homophobic rants.
