TEEN Mom’s Jenelle Evans revealed she was afraid her husband David Eason would come take their daughter away from her during their split.
The 29-year-old left her husband and moved to Tennessee for a few months after he shot and killed their dog Nugget.
In a new YouTube Vlog, Jenelle opened up about that time of her life and in her marriage, which took place in late 2019.
After MTV fired both David and Jenelle from Teen Mom 2 due to the shooting, after nearly a decade of her being on the network, she decided it was time for a change.
The reality star took her children and moved into a hotel in Tennessee without first clearing it with David because she wanted to get away from him, saying he changed after being fired.
Jenelle said this put her on edge, though, because she was worried David would do what she had just done and just show up and take their daughter Ensley.
As she was concerned about how he had been acting since killing their dog Nugget and felt like she didn’t even “know” him anymore, she wanted “space” and had to find a way to get it.
“This behavior from David, we don’t know when it will stop,” she said in the Vlog. “I need to make him shut up because I’m just getting too stressed out.”
The Teen Mom continued: “So, I didn’t want him contacting me, I wanted to protect my kids, as well, and wanted to make sure he didn’t pull the same thing as me and come to take Ensley away from me when I wasn’t looking.”
After speaking with her lawyers, Jenelle decided the best option was to get a no-contact order against David.
She explained: “I wanted to do this temporarily to basically show him, like, ‘Look, let’s control ourselves. Let’s be civil. Let’s not lash out. Let’s not post anything crazy. And let’s put some distance between us for a while until we figure things out.’”
In her video from last week, explaining more about what led to needing to move away from David for a while, Jenelle complained she and her husband had been “up each other’s a** since 2015.”
She added: “He ruined it so bad it’s like I can’t even work now and I want to pursue the goals that I have and it’s always holding me back because of his attitude and him not changing.”
After a few months apart, Jenelle and David eventually reunited and reconciled.
Their marriage problems weren’t fixed right away, and the two continued to struggle in their relationship, leading to Jenelle trying to leave again last year after a week of arguing.
Jenelle reportedly brought two friends with her to the family home to pick up her things, and David and one of the male friends began fighting.
David was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and communicating threats, but these were dropped a month later.
Despite saying she was going to leave him, Jenelle and David reunited and are still together.
