Jenelle Evans Won't Join 'Teen Mom' Again Following Deadlock in Negotiations

Jenelle is trying to sign onto a different reality show

The new show Teen Mom: Next Chapter, which combines the casts of Teen Mom: OG and Teen Mom 2, will give the Teen Mom series a makeover. Although there were rumours that Jenelle Evans would make a comeback, it has since been established that the contentious reality star is not returning.

Jenelle's manager, August Keen, stated to TMZ that she and MTV were unable to come to a contract agreement. Evidently, the network wanted her to sign an exclusive contract, which, according to her management, would have barred her from pursuing other options.

Jenelle might have a reality show of her own

The manager gave the impression that she was considering joining her own programme, however, he did not elaborate on what career options returning to Teen Mom may restrict. According to August, [Jenelle] "has a new dynamic series in development, keeping the concept under wraps for the time being.

He predicted that a major television network will air the programme. Following the murder of their family dog by her husband David Eason in 2019, Jenelle was initially fired from Teen Mom 2. He justified his actions by saying their daughter was being bitten by the dog, and he even posted a video of the incident, but the pair still faced harsh criticism.

Criticism for offensive remarks

David has also drawn criticism for his offensive remarks about other Teen Mom cast members and on social media.

Last year, Jenelle received an invitation to take part in the premiere of Teen Mom: Family Reunion. Although she expressed interest, she apparently declined to go without her spouse, which MTV forbade.
