Jenelle Evans Dumps David To Get ‘Teen Mom’ Job Back: 'She's Running Out Of Money'

The truth behind the spilt!
Jenelle Evans announced that her marriage to her husband, David Eason, was over on October 31, and insiders snitched to RadarOnline.com all about the bold move.
The troubled MTV star finally dumped her bad news hubby to get back her Teen Mom job — and, of course, paycheck, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
“She’s running out of money,” the source admitted.
RadarOnline.com readers know Jenelle was fired from Teen Mom 2 in April 2019, losing her $400,000 per season salary, after her husband admitted to killing the family dog.
“It went off like a lightbulb in her head. ‘I have this husband that doesn’t work? What in the hell am I going to do?’” the source explained.
The source said Jenelle finally admitted she had to end things with David.
“So, she decided to end the marriage before it is too late. There is no money left and she wants to make money again.”
According to a separate insider, Jenelle’s family knew about her decision to split from David, and “everyone supports her.”
Her relationship with David was at a low point, the source confirmed.
She didn't even tell her she was leaving — or where she was going.
“He doesn’t know where she is. He didn’t know anything about this," the first source claimed. "He thinks she’s around town but she’s not and she’s not going to go back until he’s gone. He thinks she’s just gone for a couple of days.”
The source told RadarOnline.com that Jenelle was expecting a volatile reaction from David.
“He’s going to s**t his pants. He has no money. He has no money for even gas.”
The couple briefly split in May after David shot Jenelle’s dog, French bulldog Nugget.
But he weaseled his way back into her good graces, and she stood by his side as they temporarily lost custody of all of their children.
A judge shockingly ruled that the case was “dismissed,” and returned Maryssa, Kaiser and Ensley to their custody in July.
Since then Jenelle’s brow kit company has failed, and David’s knife-making hobby has failed to earn any income.
The two had been holed up on the North Carolina property that Jenelle purchased before they were married, nicknamed The Land, but the insider said she isn’t going to fight to stay there.
“Jenelle doesn’t care about the house or the property. She will sell it if she has to. It’s just property. Nothing that matters.”

Starting Over
“Jenelle has a big plan to get her life back on track,” the source said about the troubled Teen Mom 2 star.
The History
MTV refused to film with David after he made a series of homophobic remarks on Twitter. When he showed up while Jenelle was filming with her children or her mother, filming was shut down. Then she was fired from the show in April 2019.
The End
The source told RadarOnline.com that Jenelle had run out of money, and realized she needed to dump David. “With the time I took away from Teen Mom I’ve started looking at my life differently and I know I need to make changes. I’m starting now," she said in her Instagram post announcing the split.

The Plan
“She went to New York to meet some people,” the source said about Jenelle heading out of town before deciding to dump David. “They told her not to bring David. He was so mad.”
No Work
David’s constant unemployment was a problem in their marriage. “David refuses to get a job,” the source told RadarOnline.com.
Her Words

R.I.P. Nugget
David shot and killed the family dog Nugget, sending the family into a downward spiral.
Silently Brewing

Filmed Forever
The fired MTV star said she wants her family to be "happy." “I’ve lived my life on camera since I was 17 years old. And a lot of it hasn’t been pretty but it’s been my life. Like anyone else I want what’s best for my kids and I want to be happy.”
Sad Goodbye

In October 2018, RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed that Jenelle had called 911 on David, claiming he'd abused her. The audio of the 911 call disclosed that Jenelle had been hysterically crying. "My name is Jenelle Eason," she told Columbus County Emergency Services. "My husband he just assaulted me. He pinned me down on the ground in the yard. I think I heard my collarbone crack. I can't move my arm." However, Jenelle later said the whole incident was a misunderstanding between her and David. No charges were filed.
