Reality check.
Jenelle Evans dropped the bombshell that she is waiting for MTV to give her back her old job on Teen Mom 2 after she was fired following her husband killing their dog.
The ex-MTV star answered a series of questions on her Instagram Story where she revealed the shocking news.
“Will you ever go back to school or the work force now that you’re no longer on MTV,” one person asked about Jenelle, who has struggled to find a new job since she was fired in April after a decade on TM2.
“I’ve always had other jobs besides MTV, so I’ve always been working,” she wrote. “I also have a lot of open opportunities but waiting on answers from my old job.”
The network fired Jenelle after RadarOnline.com broke the news that David Eason shot and killed their dog Nugget.
While Child Protective Services opened an investigation into the couple and temporarily took their children away from them, the case was ultimately dismissed.
When another person wrote: “What do u mean waiting on your old job,” Jenelle replied: “MTV.”
