The writing is on the wall.
Jenelle Evans was desperately trying to save her job in the weeks leading up to David Eason killing her dog, begging MTV to let her film with her co-star Briana DeJesus, RadarOnline.com exclusively learned.
An insider spilled the details to RadarOnline.com of Jenelle pleading with the network that made her famous to let her film again after a year of terrifying gun-related incidents that scared the production crew and executives so much that they were planning to fire her.
“No one was filming with Jenelle in North Carolina because they were too afraid of David,” the show source told RadarOnline.com.
“And she begged MTV to let her film with Briana again in Florida and they shut her down.
“Jenelle was told that MTV would not pay for her to go to Florida and they weren’t filming her with Briana.”
As RadarOnline.com readers know, David killed her dog Nugget after he claimed that the dog “snapped” at their daughter Ensley, 2.
Jenelle’s firing from the network was in the works when the shocking murder of the small dog took place, the show source told RadarOnline.com.
