Fired Again! Jenelle Dropped By Eyebrow Kit Manufacturer Amid Bad Makeup Reviews
Oct. 10 2019, Updated 5:44 p.m. ET
Jenelle Evans has been fired again! After speculation that the manufacturer of the ex-Teen Mom 2 star's eyebrow kit dropped her as a client, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal she has been hit with a termination letter.
“XJ Beauty sent Jenelle a termination letter on September 19,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “It stated that XJ Beauty will no longer be involved or work with JE Cosmetics and Jenelle Evans.”
As RadarOnline.com reported, 3,000 eyebrow kits were manufactured. A source told RadarOnline.com that only 150 were sold despite Jenelle’s 2.9 million followers on Instagram and 41,700 followers on the JE Cosmetics Instagram.
“All of the inventory will be sent to her by October 19,” the insider continued. “Jenelle hasn’t signed the letter yet.”
The speculation started when a Reddit user posted an email from a member of the XJ Beauty team, claiming they ended their business relationship with JE Cosmetics.
Jenelle, 27, responded to the rumors by posting on her Instagram Story, “Due to the issues with the other company we were working with, we have decided to cut ties. We are sorry for anyone not happy with their kits. We will be doing meet and greet/giveaways for the kits while coming up with new products.”
She then wrote on Wednesday, October 9, “Note to self: Do everything on your own. Be your own boss.”
The mom added, “Honestly the people that I thought was a great team… wasn’t. When I did this from the beginning, on my own, everything worked out better. I am now taking over my company and not letting anyone else.”
The kits, which have received bad reviews from buyers, are still available for purchase on the website for $40.

Bad Reviews
The eyebrow kit received poor reviews. In one Twitter review, a user said, “The brow pencil completely snapped off within a minute of using it, no matter how short I made it, it would snap off. There was 1 inch of product in it to begin with, now there is none. Complete waste.”
More Poor Reviews
Teen Mom Young: & Pregnant star Ashley Jones revealed she would review the product, but later opted out because of a lack of color choices.
Limited Product!
“I will NOT be buying Jenelle’s brow kit cause it only comes in 1 color and none of them are dark enough for my brows,” she tweeted. “So, sorry guys.”
Fake Reviews?
Although the kit launched on September 10, there were mysteriously reviews by “customers” on the same day. “Great quality product and for the price you get a lot,” one review read, another alleged customer said, “I love this kit. A++ would buy again.”
So Gross!
Two users of the product have also come forward on social media claiming small pieces of what appeared to be hair were found in the wax.
Launch
Jenelle's $40 product includes a brow wand, enhancement highlighter, brow powder and stay put wax. She celebrated the launch with a New York Fashion Week event on Monday, September 9.
Bad Year
The business drama comes after RadarOnline.com broke in April that her husband David Eason shot and killed the family dog. He admitted the incident, claiming the dog nipped at their 2-year-old daughter Ensley. The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident but did not press charges against David.
Firings
Jenelle, 27, was fired from the MTV series after the incident. Her husband was fired a year prior for homophobic social media comments.
CPS Scandal
Child Protective Services then removed the couple’s children from their care. Ensley, Jenelle’s son Kaiser, 5, with ex Nathan Griffith and David’s daughter Maryssa, 11, from a previous marriage were removed from their home in May. Jenelle’s son Jace, 9, was ordered to stay with grandmother Barbara, who has full custody of him.
