Jenelle Evans: It’s Kailyn Lowry’s Fault I’m Not on Teen Mom 2 Anymore!

Jenelle Evans and Kailyn Lowry haven’t gotten along for a while now.

Back in the early days of Teen Mom 2, they actually used to be friends — they were close enough that Kailyn bailed Jenelle out of jail, and this was before they made hundreds of thousands of dollars a season.

But as the story goes, Jenelle never paid her back, and their friendship suffered for it.

As the years have gone by, more and more things have happened between the two former friends.

Jenelle leaked the news of Kailyn’s surprise pregnancy with Lux, for example, and of course they’ve both said awful things about each other in interviews and on social media.

At this point, it’s beyond clear that they just can’t stand each other.

But are things between them so bad that Kailyn somehow cost Jenelle her spot on the show?

According to Jenelle, yeah, maybe!

OK, so you know how Jenelle has been trying to carve out a YouTube career for herself?

A few days ago, she posted a short little video in which she seemed a bit heated after someone sent her an interview with Briana DeJesus.

To be clear, she doesn’t have an issue with Briana — they used to be friends when they were both on the show, but they’re still cool with each other — but she wanted to discuss the interview “since my name is being brought up.”

Briana brought up Jenelle when she was talking about her own feud with Kailyn, essentially saying that Kailyn invited Jenelle on her podcast even though they hate each other but she’s never reached in the same way to her, and that’s weird.

She also suggested that it could be that Kailyn is unwilling to patch things up with her because of racism, but let’s focus on the Jenelle thing specifically right now.

After reading Briana’s quote, Jenelle said that she’s not sure what’s going on between Bri and Kail, but that she did want to talk about the invitation Kail gave her to go on her podcast.

She explained that after she’d left David and moved to Nashville, even after MTV had officially replaced her with Jade Cline, she was still in touch with her old producer, who had been asking for her to send him the footage she’d been filming of her new life.

“I don’t know why they were doing that,” she admitted, “I said ‘Are you guys interested in bringing me back?'”

She said the producer wouldn’t give her a solid answer, and she didn’t want to go into anymore detail, which is interesting enough on its own, but let’s continue.

“After about a week of me sending videos back and forth with my old producer, he asked me “Will you go on Kail’s podcast?'”

“And I said ‘For what? Are you going to have me on for ratings and then take me right off? Are you going to reintroduce me to the show? Like what are your intentions behind this?'”

She claimed the producer told her that Kail wanted her on the podcast so they could “squash things,” and Jenelle agreed with one condition:

“Before we do this publicly, I want Kail to come down to Tennessee, and I want to see her one on one and I want her to apologize to my face,” she recalled saying.

Based on what we know of the feud, it doesn’t really make sense that she wanted Kail to be the one to apologize — if anything, it seems like they should both be apologizing.

Still, she said that “She basically was up for it at first, but then ultimately she told my old producer no, she said ‘I’m not doing that’ so I said ‘OK, then I’m not going on her podcast, I’m sorry.'”

Because of this, she didn’t feel like Kailyn every genuinely wanted to apologize, she just wanted to use Jenelle to get people to listen to her podcast.

“I’m not trying to be stubborn about making up with Kail,” she claimed. “Maybe one day I would, but I would like to sit down with her and have a one on one conversation with no cameras, no social media, with no podcast. That’s it.”

She then brought up Briana’s poing about Kail being willing to make amends with Jenelle, who is white, and how Kail has a history of making racist remarks.

“I don’t think it’s about Briana’s race, and I don’t think it’s because I was white that Kail wanted to make up with me,” Jenelle said. “It’s definitely because Kail just wanted ratings. It wasn’t because of race.”

She started to talk about Kailyn’s racist tweets, but then stopped herself, which is possibly the smartest thing she’s done this year — she really has no room to criticize someone for making racist comments.

Going back to her story, she said that after she declined the invitation to appear on Kailyn’s podcast, her producer stopped reaching out to her for updates, which was just fine by her because she needed “time to heal” after so many years on TV.

But that’s interesting, isn’t it?

Did Kailyn have the power to stop Jenelle from coming back to Teen Mom 2? Was it her fault that she was never brought back on?

Or, considering she was back with David only a couple of months later, was Kail just one more person involved with the show that she couldn’t get along with?

Teen Mom: The Tragically Trashy Tattoo Guide!

If you’re a fan of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2, then you know that many of the people on the MTV reality shows have tattoos.

You also know that a lot of the tattoos …

… well, they aren’t that great.

Some are poorly done, some are  kind of strange, and some are nightmarish and horrifying and just so completely, unbelievably bad.

So steady yourself, perhaps grab some smelling salts and some pearls to clutch, and let’s rank all the Teen Mom ink we can get our eyes on!

1. Amber’s Tattoo of Leah

Ambers tattoo of leah
Here, let’s just start with the worst of the worst, all right? This is Amber Portwood’s portrait of her daughter, Leah. It’s right on her stomach, it also features a gigantic rose, and it’s not finished. Will she ever get it finished? It’s hard to say. We will ever be able to get this haunting image out of our heads? Unlikely.

2. Choices

Choices
Since we’re already talking about Amber’s tattoos, she also got this matching tattoo with Matt Baier, back when they first started dating. It reads “vero amore,” which is supposed to be Italian for “true love.” So that’s embarrassing.

3. Speaking of Embarrassing …

Speaking of embarrassing
Matt also has this huge tattoo of Amber’s name right on his forearm. Just right there on his arm where he has to look at it all day, every day.

4. Ugh

Matt baier book cover
Matt actually has several tattoos, many of which you can see on his nude book cover. We won’t waste more time on him here, so if you feel the need to look more closely at his naked greasy bod here, then you have our blessing. However, we will say that on his other arm, he has a couple of Chinese characters that he says mean “clean and sober,” but that Teen Mom detectives have actually determined mean “Lisa.”

5. Why Though?

Why though
As hard as it may be to believe, Matt isn’t the only guy to get Amber Portwood’s name tattooed on his body — Gary Shirley made the exact same mistake. Thankfully he was smart enough (???) to get the tattoo on his shoulder instead of on his forearm though, and he’s since covered up.

6. It’s Gary Time

Its gary time
Gary also has a … what is that, a sun? A blob with tentacles? Whatever it is, he’s also got some tattoo right in the middle of his chest, peeking out through all his body hair.

Sister Wives RANKED: Who is Kody Brown’s #1?

Throughout the last couple of seasons of Sister Wives, Kody Brown clashed with all his Sister Wives. This was blatantly obvious really.

At various points, Kody took issue with Meri, Christine, Robyn and Janelle – the four spouses he has taken to date.

He’s been upset because he wanted to build one big house on their land in Flagstaff and his idea was shot down, and he’s been mad about how some of his wives handled the pandemic.

He’s also not too fond about them doing things or even proposing doing things that don’t benefit him.

Despite arguing with all four of his spouses over the course of these recent seasons, astute viewers could read between the lines.

They could tell who Kody loved, despite the occasional disagreement, and who he seemed truly sick and tired of at this point.

This got us thinking here at THG: Is there a clear favorite for Kody among the aforementioned better halves?

How would he rank Meri, Christine, Robyn and Janelle; from Kody’s most-hated to his most-loved? How would we?!

Your response to this loaded question may be different from ours, and his, but consider the rankings below.

1. For the Record…

Kody brown yammers
… we think Kody is selfish and sexist and all four wives should leave HIM. We just wanna go on record with that opinion because we know how it would be interpreted, this ranking, as if the wives are somehow not worthy of Kody.

2. Let’s Get To It Then, Shall We?

Sister wives united
Kody married Meri in 1990, Janelle in 1993, Christine in 1994 and and Robyn in 2010… although one the latter marriage is legal and legitimate, so Kody could officially adopt Robyn’s kids.

3. Who is His Least Favorite Wife?

Meri brown is haunted
This is sadly easy. The answer is Meri. And we’re very confident that both Meri and Kody would agree.

4. Why Do We Say This?

Meri brown in 2019
Well… Meri posted just one photo of Kody on Instagram in 2020, and none so far this year. They went on exactly one “date” last year to celebrate their 30th anniversary, but they called it a “non-anniversary” because “we’re not a couple.” On top of that, Meri is constantly sharing cryptic quotes about finding herself and about how one deserves to be with someone who seems value/worth in him/her.

5. Also?

Meri brown and company
“The relationship between he and I is gone, it’s dead, it’s over,” Meri told a therapist on a Sister Wives episode that aired last year.

6. Kody Doubled Down, Too

Meri brown in a confessional
In his own confessional, Kody said that “Meri and I had a very fast courtship. I didn’t know who I was marrying.” He then confessed to basically regretting having ever married Meri. So… yeah. She comes in last.

Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Guide to All Those Kids!

The girls from Teen Mom are good at many things.

They’re good at creating reality show magic, whether it’s through their family or romantic trials and tribulations. 

Some of them have written books, or even tried to start music careers, or Cam Girl careers, and while none of those were actually good … well, it was nice that Farrah tried.

But we can probably all agree that the area where the Teen Moms really, truly excel is the baby-making area.

Because they have so. Many. Babies.

So many you may have forgotten about some of them, impossible as that seems. Can you name them all?

Here’s the full rundown! Find out!

1. Sophia (Farrah Abraham and Derek Underwood)

Oh, Soph. Unlike many of her Teen Mom tot counterparts, Sophia lives the life of luxury, thanks to her mother, non-porn star Farrah Abraham. Seriously, the younger Abraham has had her own clothing line, dabbles in child modeling, receives $900 when the tooth fairy pays a visit, and is even beginning her own music career. (Sophia’s father, Derek, died in a car accident while Farrah was still pregnant; Derek’s grave is the site of many memorable TM scenes, which some believe to be shamelessly orchestrated by Farrah). Sophia is going to be a handful when she grows up at this rate … the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as they say.

2. Leah (Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley)

Amber Portwood shares darling little Leah Shirley with her ex, Gary. Gary has custody, and he’s had it since Amber went to prison a few years back for all that domestic violence and drug stuff. Leah seems like a really smart, sweet girl, which is all thanks to Gary and his wife, Kristina — from what we’ve seen, Amber doesn’t spend a whole lot of time with her.

3. James (Amber Portwood and Andrew Glennon)

James glennon
Amber welcomed her second child, James, with Andrew Glennon in the spring of 2018. Their relationship survived about a year after that, because as it turned out, Amber still had a violent streak. She was convicted of assaulting Andrew in 2019, and after that, Andrew was given primary physical custody of James. Since then, he’s claimed that she’s been pretty flaky about the visits, but we don’t know too much more about it, since they’ve agreed not to put little James on the show.

4. Emilee (Gary and Kristina Shirley)

Gary shirley and family
Gary went on to have one child after leaving his disastrous relationship with Amber — he and his wife, Kristina, have a daughter named Emilee.

5. Carly (Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra)

When middle school sweethearts (and briefly step-siblings) Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra made the decision to give their baby Carly up for adoption, it marked one of the most touching, bittersweet moments in reality TV history. What made it all the more incredible was that they stayed involved in her life – albeit with some bumps in the road – ever since.

6. Nova (Catelynn and Tyler)

Tyler and Catelynn kept and are raising Novalee Reign Baltierra together, not that it’s been easy. Catelynn has struggled greatly with postpartum depression, leading to multiple inpatient stays at a psychiatric facility in Arizona.

And unyielding social media fodder, to boot. There is never a dull moment with the mother of three, whatever you think of her.

Here’s a look at her most memorable moments from her young, innocent (okay, not really innocent) 16 & Pregnant days to the present.

1. Hospitalized!

In 2013, Nathan Griffith shared this photo of Jenelle in the hospital, because he was a terrible boyfriend. While many people assumed she was hospitalized because of drugs, but she quickly got on Twitter to share documents from the hospital to prove she actual had her appendix removed. “u don’t have to believe me but this is how they do surgery now for appendix,” she tweeted “Like I said hospital documentation doesn’t lie.” Never change, girl.

2. That Time She Got This Ink

And this one
In case you weren’t aware of this delightful little fact, she also has a tattoo that reads “YOLO” right there on her chest. She got this one, she’s said on Twitter, “cuz its a good quote.” Can’t argue with that!

4. Can’t Forget This One!

This is … well, it’s definitely … it looks … huh. Well, this tattoo does serve the purpose of covering up that tattoo of Nathan’s name she got, so that’s something positive.

5. Boob Time!

Oh look, it’s a photo from that time Jenelle got breast implants, which is totally fine but also hilarious because these days she tries to tell people she’s never had plastic surgery, even though, you know, she did. On national television.

6. She Fought the Law …
