It all kicked off after the 29-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to promote the controversial product, saying, “So I found a revolutionary product of ear candles.
“It cleans your ears very deeply and gets all the wax out.”
Jenelle then proceeds to try to product as she lies on her side with the burning candle in her ear.
Afterwards, she films all the wax that she was able to get out, as she says, “Oh wow…ew…”
However, Teen Mom fans were not impressed as they took to the Reddit comments section to offer up their thoughts.
One person said: “Don’t use these, they’re bad for you,” while another added, “hate to break it to you JE but those things are actually terrible for you.”
A third commented: “These have been proven time and time again as a sham.
“Just burn one without putting it in your ear and you get the same waxy residue. They don’t work and they can actually be harmful.”
According to WebMD, ear candles can “cause serious harm to your ear…
“Candle wax may even drip into your ear canal, clog the passage, and make you lose your hearing for a while. There are also reports of punctured eardrums after the candling process.”
According to the online publisher, “The FDA hasn’t approved ear candles for any medical use,” and has even “sent warnings to manufacturers and stopped the import of candles.”
This isn’t even the first time this week that Jenelle has been bashed, as she was recently called out for letting her 4-year-old daughter Ensley wear questionable socks.
The ex MTV star shared a video of her little one – who she has been accused of “favoring” – walking around wearing one tall, blue sock with what appeared to be pot leaf designs on them.
“This is really trashy. I don’t care what anyone says,” a fan wrote, with another joking, “Tell me you’re trash without saying it.”
Jenelle would soon defend Ensley’s attire and the video, explaining: “We have a ‘sock pile’ in our house that has random socks and do not have matches.”
She added a shrug emoji and said she “told her to get her socks and didn’t realize it.”
While the mother of three, who is married to David Eason, has been battling with fans, she has also been dueling with ex costar Chelsea Houska.
After lashing out at Chelsea for sharing “picture perfect” family photos, she then wrote: “Some girls act like they’re a Stepford wife. And yes I will hold a grudge and always make it known.
“If you have personally been a complete b***h to me for years and can’t simply be nice then no, I will never like you as a person.”
Chelsea would respond by sharing another cute video of her kids.
