Jenelle Evans Says She's 'Fighting' to Get Son Kaiser Back After David Eason Dog Incident

Jenelle Evans couldn’t celebrate Mother’s Day with her full brood this year: The Teen Mom 2 alum’s son Kaiser was picked up by child protective services on Friday, May 10, nearly two weeks after Evans’ husband, David Eason, shot and killed her dog Nugget. Now Evans, 27, is opening up about the upheaval in her family life. “I’ve been fighting to get my son back,” Evans exclusively tells Us Weekly. Nathan Griffith, Evans’ ex-fiancé and Kaiser’s father, called the authorities on April 30, amid reports of Nugget’s death. “I guess there was a dispute with my ex-fiancée and her husband and he shot a dog. And there’s been multiple 911 calls of abuse,” Griffith, 31, told police. “And I’m just trying to figure out where my son’s at and what I should do in this situation right now. I’m just so confused right now. … I just want to make sure my son is safe.” [jwplayer 8yv6kZGp-l3ahXupL] Eason, 30, admitted to killing Nugget in an Instagram post the following day, claiming that the dog bit Ensley, his and Evans’ 2-year-old daughter. “I don’t give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face,” he wrote at the time. “Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I don’t put up with that s--t at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my life’s mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me.” Nearly a week later, MTV cut ties with Evans. “We have stopped filming with Jenelle Eason as of April 6, 2019, and have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season,” an MTV spokesperson exclusively told Us Weekly. Scroll down to see what Evans says now about the current drama and her fight to get Kaiser back.

Grandmother Doris Intervening

Nathan on Her Side

“Our current custody order is still in place,” Evans says of her coparenting arrangement with Griffith. “Nathan is to have supervised visits and only supervised by Doris. Surprisingly, me and Nathan have been getting along, so I’m willing to maybe let his visits be unsupervised. Me and Nathan have been in contact during all of this. He doesn’t want Kaiser taken from me.”

Headed for Counseling

“My relationship with David now is still in a healing process, of course,” Evans explains. “We are going to start going to marriage counseling because he feels as if we both need it. I completely agree. Not considering divorce unless he refuses counseling with me.”

Frustrated Maryssa

Evans also tells Us that Maryssa, Eason’s daughter and her stepdaughter, is still living with the couple: “David has full custody over her and still homeschools her. Maryssa has been with us since everything has been going down. She is frustrated with the media she sees online about her father because she knows the truth what goes on in our household.”

No Jace

Jace Evans, Evans’ son with ex-boyfriend Andrew Lewis, is living with the reality star’s mother, Barbara. “My mom is keeping Jace from me, nobody else,” she tells Us. “I only had Ensley with me for Mother’s Day this year. And my mom is taking it out on me for being let go from MTV.”

Rumor Control

“Any rumors that come out, I would like for everyone to just step back and think, ’Is this from Jenelle? No, it’s not true,’” she concludes. “I’m very open with the public and my life and will continue to be. Right now, I need this time to just hang out with my family. I need them so bad right now.”
