I have been reading up on the situation of The Land in North Carolina after a lot of backlash after I made a post suggesting things maybe getting better recently. That post was sparked by the Instagram photos of both David and Jenelle showing the kids much happier than we’ve seen them. I was particularly glad to see that Jace was playing soccer and had lots of outdoor activities to keep him busy. That boy has a lot of pent-up emotions that need an outlet and he appears in recent pictures to be doing a lot better. Kaiser also seemed happier than we have seen him. I was trying to be hopeful. Especially after worrying to death about them during hurricane Florence.
My wishful thinking did not last long. Even then I had some doubts. It seems Jenelle has lost a good bit of weight lately and so has Kaiser. Jace and Maryssa have always been slim but do seem a little thinner to me as well. But apparently this is the least of the problems.
Most of the commenters feel like everyone on THE LAND is in dire danger. Well, I think I am about ready to get on the THEY ARE ALL GONNA DIE! train with y’all, because I’m doing a deep dive on this entire situation.
I vaguely remember that David heard about Jenelle through his jail cellmate, Courtland while doing time in North Carolina. It seems that at the very least, David was breaking into houses and drunk driving from 2012 -2014 before serving two back to back four month sentences. The first sentence began on July 14, 2014 and ended on October 8, 2014. The second sentence started on October 8, 2014 and ended on January 1, 2015, see more about all of that on Starcasm, here. He was arrested three times for drunk driving during that two year period. Then he apparently got out and went to meet Jenelle saying he was a good friend of Courtland. Courtland is Jenelle’s former husband. She got arrested with him in 2013 and had both a miscarriage and an abortion that year.
While her husband, Courtland was in jail with her future husband David, in 2014, Jenelle found comfort in Kaiser’s dad Nathan who also impregnated her. Both were arrested for violence against each other during their courtship until sometime in the summer of 2015.
Not to long after that, David showed up and said, “Hi, my name is David and I’m your ex-husband the heroin addict’s cellmate and he told me all about you in jail!” that was apparently an irresistible introduction for Jenelle. Because she still talked to Nathan in between fights, there was and still is a lot of conflict between David and Nathan.
BUT WHAT I DIDN’T KNOW UNTIL TODAY WAS, David Eason has a four-year old son. According to The Ashley:
As The Ashley previously reported, David’s relationship with his son (who is four) has been strained since the boy’s birth. Olivia obtained sole legal and physical custody of Kaden after David was found guilty of having committed domestic violence against Olivia while she was pregnant with their son.
“[David] endangered the life of the child by pushing [Olivia] when she was eight months pregnant and leaving her in the middle of the road at night when she was seven months pregnant,” the court papers from the incident stated. Olivia filed a restraining order, and David was not allowed to have contact with her or Kaden after that. In March 2016, David was arrested for approaching Kaden in a grocery store and violating the restraining order.
According to The Ashley, Kaden’s mother is not able to afford to continue her fight to keep Kaden away from David and off THE LAND. So now we are up to five children that are on The Land for at least some portion of time as Kaden has been visiting THE LAND. His mother does not allow him to be filmed or for David to post photos on social media. But I did seem to notice an extra kid sitting with Kaiser in one of David’s IG photo carousels.
In other random discoveries, David has posted on social media of fears that the government controls the weather (via chemtrails see conspiracy theory here), All of these issues get overlooked because David spends most of his time saying racist and homophobic things on social media. I mean with everything else going on, sometimes it is hard to remember that Jenelle recently chased down a male driver to his house in a road rage fight with a loaded gun. And Jace was in the car?
So, yeah, it was really stupid of me to think that everything was getting better on THE LAND.
Here is the latest. Last Saturday Jenelle posted a picture of herself with a bandaged nose. She claimed she had a septoplasty. There was David right beside of her taking care of her. It is presumed that this had nothing to do with what happened next. However, she had a heavily bandaged nose and was laying in bed on a photo posted on Saturday. A Septoplasty takes quite some time to heal. Anywhere from one week to four weeks or more. I’m told it is a painful surgery. Basically it is done to straighten out your septum, the thing that divides your nose in half and remove any lumps or bumps that disrupt your breathing.
Do we know if she really had a septoplasty? NO. But we do know that a photo was posted of her being cared for after a surgery on her IG on what appears to be October 13th. It was not sent to me until the 14th The photo seemed to be taken in a hospital bed post surgery. So it SEEMS that all happened BEFORE the police were called on Saturday night.
For the record, there are only two places I consider completely reliable when I need Teen Mom information, The Ashley and Starcasm. They are the Teen Mom experts. I’m sure neither one of them would post something like “Gee, things seem better on THE LAND” like I did, because they pay close attention and I’m busy working about the fucking housewives. 🙂
The Ashley exclusively reported yesterday that on Saturday night just before 10 pm an assault call was made from THE LAND by a female caller who requested an ambulance. Shortly thereafter, the ambulance was cancelled and Jenelle apparently went to the hospital by private vehicle. Two officers were sent out and no police report was taken. Apparently they talked to someone, but my guess is David and Jenelle both headed to the hospital and it was whoever was left there with or without the kids who were probably sleeping.
Today “someone” claiming to be a “rep” for Jenelle told People that Jenelle and David were having a cookout and she fell down near the fire and was injured. See, the thing is Jenelle doesn’t have a rep. And Jenelle has taken down her Twitter and Facebook accounts. I believe the reason she left up IG is she (and Brandi Glanville, and Drita from mobwives) all are generating income from linking to entertainment story farms. So she’s just not posting on IG and leaving the ads up.
So fine, EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE ON THE LAND and I am back to being worried about the kids again. Only now there are FIVE OF THEM. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Le sigh. Ignorance really was bliss for a few hours there.
He is a fucking monster…. something terrible is going to happen to one of those kids and it breaks my heart. I could give 2 shits about jenelle she puts men and drugs before her own childrens safety, happiness and well being.I literally hate her and david. What the hell is cps doing??? By the way you should see the picture he posted on Instagram today. A picture of her ass and him talking about how hes drooling over it or some shit. What’s funny about the pic is that there appears to be no bruising on her face or nose. So it might be old. These kids are being failed left and right. Terrible
I’ve had the same surgery. Extremely painful and slow, painful recovery. I’d rather shave my head with a cheese grater, while chewing tinfoil, in labor, then to be “cooking out” a couple of days later!
Hmmm that is interesting. I read it was a very difficult recovery. Clearly the fake rep was lying.
But what was the lie? The surgery or the assault? And if she did NOT have the surgery, which seems to be the case….then what the fuck happened to her.
I feel badly for Jenelle. l know she keeps doing this to HERSELF but I went through a series of bad choices myself and I have a lot of sympathy for her which is why I wanted to believe she was okay.
Sorry TT, but the cynic in me never bought the idyllic life for a second.
Your optimism was cute, bless your heart.
When I saw the photos I thought her Instagram life looked really nice but, knowing her history, never thought for a second it was her real life …unfortunately. I feel sad for her children and her mom.
She may have posted those photos knowing the call to the police would eventually be reported.
I stopped watching Teen Moms years ago. I read your recaps to keep up because their lives are too sad. There seems to be very little joy in their lives.
Thanks TT. I waited to read your report before believing anything else. Don’t know what to say. It’s worrisome.
So I don’t follow Teen Mom OG very closely, but I am unfortunately quite familiar with the ugly reality of domestic violence. Maybe this isn’t as bad as it looks. Maybe David isn’t who I’m starting to suspect he is. But if Jennelle is experiencing what I fear she may be suffering, she needs to know that it’s more than OK to extract herself and those children from that kind of toxic, violent environment.
Oh, and by the way, I’ve also had to learn a lot about far-right, anti-government extremists over the past four years. David’s social media activity alone concerns me. That kind of fringey conspiracy theory shit seems fun and harmless until people get hurt.
It’s as bad as it looks.
I think so too. And I LOVE atdleft but she can’t extract herself from david. She has all the money, and stupidly gave him half of the house/land. She’s truly in a fucked up place IF SHE SEES IT. And I don’t think she does. I also have feelings about this situation that may be projecting, or signs I realize where the MAN is right and she must be doing something wrong for things not going well when she allow him to take the reigns.
BUT NOW THERE ARE FIVE CHILDREN INVOLVED. FIVE CHILDREN.
I’ve been wondering : what is The Land?
That’s what they call the swamp they live in. The land.
Ty.
It’s the piece of land David and Janelle built a home on out in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by woods. When they speak of their home, they always refer to it as “the land”.
Wow. I’m guessing the local authorities don’t read any media, including social, about these two?
I stand by my prior comments. I’m a mother of 5 year old twins, and I know what loving your children looks like. What it doesn’t look like is the following:
1. Jumping from felon to felon and bringing your kid along for the ride.
2. Being involved in a car chase with the father of your child because hes trying to give you your kid since it’s your turn to watch him.
3. Chasing down strangers with a gun because you’re having a road rage meltdown.
4. Leaving said loaded weapon in the car with your child while you get out of the vehicle.
5. Subjecting your children to frequent domestic violence episodes.
6. Not giving your son the prescribed medication he needs during your custodial time.
7. Ignoring your toddler as he begs for food.
8. Pulling your step daughter out of school to homeschool her when you have next to no education yourself.
9. Marrying an abuser.
10. Actively fighting to rip your only child who has a safe home from said home because your abuser husband says so.
I could go on, but ten is a nice, even number. I read The Ashley daily. That’s how I knew what David did, which was learn Jenelle was an easy target from her ex husband, immediately pursue her knowing she was his lifetime meal ticket, quit his job, and marry her for her money. But he does not love her. He will beat her down verbally, emotionally, and physically to make her a quiet, subservient wife whom he can stand to be around.
I agree 100% with everything you said. I have a 5 year old . My heart literally breaks for those kids. Especially poor little Kaiser roll who I believe receives the brunt of the abuse. I dont watch her segments on teen mom anymore because it makes me want to cry.
I found having outpatient surgery on a Saturday to be odd.
NO elective ( planned/scheduled) surgery, outpatient or inpatient, is done on the weekend.
Weekend surgeries are typically reserved for emergencies or urgent cases, such as nasal repair due to trauma or direct injury (getting punched in the face by your husband who has a history of domestic violence, allegedly).
She had the surgery last Monday.
Bri, excellent post. I agree with you 100%. I too read The Ashley daily. My heart breaks for all the children trapped in that nightmare. I even have pity for evil old Jenelle– I know what it is to be trapped with an abuser. It’s a mindset that is difficult to explain to normal, non-abused people. Jenelle’s children’s best chances in life will come if she can escape, and somehow get sober and in a position where she can care for and nurture her kids. A tall order, to be sure. If we could just get Jenelle to the point where she didn’t allow her children to be abused by OTHERS, it would be a start. I can’t believe we know all about this family because it’s ON TV, and social media, and still nobody can seem to help these children!
Jenelle, I believe, has unfortunately been in one abusive relationship after another. I’m not saying she doesn’t contribute to this, but I do feel bad for her on some level and I wish she had found a way to break the cycle well before having more children. The teen mom audience can also be particularly vicious online. I really don’t think it helps anything. Jenelle is probably less inclined to be truthful about abuse because she knows the judgement she will receive. Jenelle has done some very concerning things (pull a gun during road rage with her son in the car!) but she needs help. Most of these girls didn’t have the best upbringing and then they got pregnant way too young and were thrust in the limelight. I’m not sure what affect that has developmentally. Things are not good at the land, but I still hope Jenelle gets the help she needs and finds a path to thriving.
Thank you, TT. You never forget the “forgotten”! Where is Janelle’s mother? Where is her family? Where is her SAFETY NET?????
Oh no, I FUCKED UP ON THIS ONE. I WAS VERY VERY WRONG.
I’ve been VERY VERY WRONG in my own life and perhaps was hoping for a happy ending here. But I didn’t have kids and THIS WILL END VERY VERY BADLY.
My certainty of this was likely part of my denial.Things don’t go well for anyone in this situation. And I really hope I don’t have to cover it anymore.
You’re an angel, TT! The ONLY one who followed through. I don’t know what’s going to happen from here but . . . . you did your best to make the abuse public. 🙂
WTF is Barb supposed to do? THis is like her fourth criminal in a row? She is trying to save Jace and Kaiser, she can’t do anything about the others, or her own CHILD.
Jenelle is on a suicide mission.Every man she hooks up with is worst than the other. Only Nathan seems to see the pattern but is still part of it. llllllll
Wish to hell that Nathan man up and get custody of Kaiser. Feel terrible for those kids. Unfortunately, this is only going to escalate.
Nathan is awful. His mom might be okay but he abused the girlfriend following Jenelle, and he’s been arrested very recently.
Listen hes better than david. The way Kaisers little face lights up when he sees him says it all. I do believe nathan is on steroids and has roid. Rage. And yes he has assaulted girlfriends in the past . But hes been pretty good for the past year or two. I’d rather have him have custody than david. Anything is better than david
Supposedly the police issued a statement that Jenelle was advised on how to handle the assault issue and she declined to file a police report. My guess is she didn’t fall by a fire, but David and her probably had an altercation. However he posted a pic of her on his IG or Twitter today that was just in bad taste. You can’t really see her face very good so I’m wondering what kind of “assault” happened, but they seem to be fine now. I actually thought Jenelle seemed to be a little bigger than she had been before, but not in a bad way, just curvier. All Jenelle’s relationships are so toxic. Her friendships, romantic relationships and her family dynamic. She’s either at war with her mom and/or her sister all the time.
That photo was a week old, even he admits that. SHE HAS A BROKEN FACE!
I didn’t know the pic was a week old. I didn’t see that anywhere on the pic he posted. All you could see was her ass in the picture. It seemed inappropriate given what just happened. Her face was kind of hidden she was just slightly looking over her shoulder. She’ll stay with him and will lash out at anyone who speaks against him. That’s the norm with them unfortunately.
I watched a few teen mom’s the first season and quit. It was hard to watch. My teen years as a female were difficult for me. Now I’m the mother of 2 girls and find myself “winging it” at times. My oldest I prayed she’d graduate HS not pregnant. I did a lot more then pray…HS knew my voice when I called to check in on my daughter… daily. We had serious challenges that I never let slide. I just stayed the path. It worked but it wasn’t easy. She really hated me sometimes and I was really angry with her at times. But we made it. I love my girls more than I love myself, easy hands down kinda love. I know from personal experience how challenging life can be so I’ve tried to prepare my girls for the world kindly and letting them know they can always trust me.
I’ve been listening to you TT and followers. I’m concerned for Janelle and this family on the land. It just seems so isolating and at a certain level brainwashed or a Stockholm syndrome situation. Is she currently filming? Is there help from production to help her move forward and into a safe lifestyle?
When the 911 calls become to frequent, the police always say to the victim: “Next time we are going to arrest YOU! “
If that is true where you live that is FUCKED UP.
Either the person needs mental help or physical help. No sane person calls 911 just for fun.
I think we all got it, TT. It was the best in you hoping for the best for the children. Too bad it’s not working out that way. It all sounds very bad.
I kinda hope it’s not as bad as it looks, there’s only half truths to this story and they’re all as you thought quite happy and content on… *dramatic pause* THE LAND!
If all of what you wrote is as it appears and the speculations are accurate, this is heart breaking. Not only because no one deserves to be in a situation like hers, but also while we’re all sat here judging away she’s isolated, could be having a few more ‘accidental’ falls and squat all is being done about it.
It’s all true. If someone doesnt step in theres probably going to be a murder suicide on the land. Cps was called this year 20 fucking times and nothing was done. Because they put on this bullshit facade and have money. As usual they are on Instagram pretending everything is fine. It makes my blood boil. Cps do your fucking job. Because once something happens. Your all out of a job that you shouldn’t even have in the first place. I hope david winds up in jail where he belongs so he can play hide the sausage all he wants… because we all know that he isn’t straight and that’s where all this anger he has inside comes from. Nobodies sexual orientation would bother a man who is secure with his own. Trust me that’s his real issue. Jmo
What makes no sense to me is , How or why the authorities are not investigating? How many calls to the police, cys etc have to be made? I remember watching the show when then Sheriff came to do a well check on the kids, they wouldn’t let him in & were SO rude & I’m watching it thinking WHAT?? If you have nothing to hide & everything is as great as they want us to think. They would’ve welcomed him in, been polite & showed the Sheriff “how great it all is” but NO.
-someone above said something about if you call 911 to many times they will say “if you call again we’ll charge you” Is that for real? I understand if they are calling for insignificant “cat in my tree” stuff… but really?
Wish we could get the authority’s to watch all her scenes from TM , then they’ll see!
My heart breaks for those poor kids, I would gladly take them all, we don’t have a lot of money, but are rich with love. I keep praying they will be saved.
Until she realizes that she doesn’t NEED a man, this sadly will probably continue.
I’m dreading the post when tragedy strikes. God willing it won’t.
The guns, the guns, the guns. Those boys will grow and get bigger and stronger than David with a lot of anger. I predict he will end up in the hospital, or worse. Those boys will protect their mom.
David’s domestic violence charge was choking Olivia while pregnant. Her roommate was a witness when she ran into the bedroom to stop him. I bet this is how he met up with Courtland in jail. Kaden’s grandmother freaked when David approached them at grocery store. Now that poor boy is with him too. He’s a ticking time bomb.
The 911 call has been released. There is no denying it now. Also it seems she said her ex was there? Nathan maybe? One giant fucked up situation for those babies. I hope they can get Kaiser out, at the very least.
I believe she was referring to david as her ex
Thank you TT, I get serious anxiety every time I see a blog with Jenelle as the caption. I worry one day I’m going to hear about one of the kids getting seriously injured or worse. I think in the beginning of the relationship Jenelle thought she was finally getting the family she’s wanted but something is different with her now. I can’t imagine the chao those kids endure on a daily bases.
The Ashley has just published Janelle’s 911 call. It was Janelle that called, and she was hysterical saying David attacked her and she thought her collarbone snapped and said she could not move her arms. Absolutely terrifying. Hopefully this will be a big wake-up call and Janelle will get her children away from this maniac. With everything we all know about David, he is going to do everything he can they keep the mall with him. He’s one of those people that feels like he owns his wife and children.
TMZ has the recording too. Your sixth sense told you to worry about the family on The Land,Tamara. I couldn’t believe this violence happened right after you shared your concerns. Jenelle needs to listen to you. I doubt the kids can be in the same home with him now.
The 911 call has been released. And she clearly says he pinned her down and hurt her. It is awful. There is no way to spin it. Those kids need to be taken out of that house NOW.
I just listened to it and it was horrible. Sounds like David has a drinking problem among other things. How is CPS not removing this children from the home? It’s all so sad.
I just listened to Janelle’s 911 call, and it is really bad. One interesting thing at the end, you can hear someone else and then nine-one-one operator asked who I was talking to her. And she said my ex has just come back in the house and is trying to convince me to hang up. I hope this means they’re in the process of separating and she’s going to get her children the hell out of that place, away from David and the guns and everything. I pray for those children.
I heard that, too. Don’t think it would be Nathan. He’s in a stable relationship. Isn’t Courtland back in jail? Kieffer? David would never permit her to have an ex over, so I might have believed she was leaving him had he not been posting photos and positive comments about her on his social media for the past few days.
Feel like she might have been talking about David ??
Shes definitely talking about david in the call. Typical cycle of abuse. I really hate the both of them but u gotta feel bad for her in that call. But then it’s like you let this pos beat Kaiser. Hopefully nathan and barb can try AGAIN to get them out of there. What’s it going to take for anybody to see what’s going to end up happening here. Cps and dcfs is a fucking joke.
TT, have you heard the 911 tape? It’s very, very disturbing. There was no “fall in the fire” and, according to the 911 call, he assaulted her while 4 kids were at the home. So sad!
http://www.theashleysrealityroundup.com/2018/10/19/listen-to-teen-mom-jenelle-evans-horrifying-911-call-following-alleged-assault-by-husband-david-eason/
OMG I had a panic attack from just listening to that.
TT, me, too. My heart went out to her. She was seriously afraid and probably injured. The recording just broke my heart because I’ve heard other 911 calls she’s made against other men, and they did NOT sound like this. This is flat out scary.
God, I wish she had pressed charges. She needs to get away from this man in a hurry. He is a danger to their entire family. I think she’s too scared to press charges on him specifically.
She has done it to Nathan, but Nathan isn’t a physical abuser. He made some questionable decisions, but I don’t think she ever truly feared him. David is another story. She knows he will hurt her.
I hope someone helps her. She needs to go to a domestic violence shelter and ask for help. I will for sure be praying for her. No one deserves to be afraid of their spouse at all, let alone like this. Jenelle has made some bad choices in her life, but none of that matters now. All that matters is that she get away from that awful man and take her children with her.
Here is the thing. Kaiser can go to Nathan. Jace can go to Barbara Jenelle can take the baby and run, Kaden can be kept away from David permanently, but Maryssa is FUCKED. According to y’all her mother already lost custody of her.
And there are a LOT of guns in that house. I don’t know why she didn’t want to say that.
David just posted a photo with Ensley in Wilmington. That is where Jenelle films. I heard she was supposed to film the following Sunday as well.
The 911 call is online now. I just listened to it. David pinned her to the ground and Jenelle says she heard something snap in her collarbone. She flat out says david assaulted her. 4 kids were sleeping in the house when she called. I’m heartbroken for her. She sounds terrified.
On the weekend this happened, they had Kaden and some female cousin of his we’ve never seen before. Perhaps biracial. closer to Jace’s age I’d guess. It was her first time staying on THE LAND.
Oh, dear God, TT, I just listened to the 911 tape. All my frustration and disgust with all of Jenelle’s questionable life decisions just flew out the window. That poor girl! NO ONE deserves that! She can leave David right now, and no one who hears that tape would ever say a negative word! THIS IS HER CHANCE!! I pray to God, for the children’s sake and for hers, that she gets out right now! If she stays, with the kids, David is going to kill someone.
Same here. For her own sake and for her children’s, she needs to get out. And if she still refuses to get out, someone needs to get the children out of there and take them to safety.
David has been with Ensley in Wilmington all day while Jenelle is filming. He just put up an Instastorie of Ensley sitting at the end of a table at a restaurant hold his hand and what he claims is Jenelle’s hand. We do not get any more than her hand so no way to tell how injured she is.
***spoiler alert*** Jenelle is on Snapchat tonight, with David..singing and dancing, her nose and collarbone look fine.
Of course they are. The 911 call came out today so that’s their way of doing damage control. “Look at us, we’re so happy. Nothing’s wrong!”
Lordy, it may be even worse than I thought. Has he been brainwashing her, or is she deluding herself to “keep up appearances”? Either way, this is frightening. I can only hope someone finds a way to at least rescue the children if Jenelle continues to refuse help.
Yeah, I wish I could save these because she has already deleted a few. Now she’s saying that he said she’s not wearing enough, but she just wants to be cold or something. I wish someone would get the kids out of there.
I was so triggered by that call. Domestic violence is such a sick cycle and Jenelle is the typical needy person stuck in that existence.
Until she married David at least she didn’t have someone as co owner on her home..
But unfortunately it will probably take much worse abuse to get her to leave and all those kids will suffer.
As someone pointed out elsewhere, by acting like David didn’t have weapons, she was putting the first responders, fire and police in danger of an ambush.
It’s already too late. Wherever she goes, he will find her. I’m seriously triggered by this. I’ve called the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the past, and there’s not much anyone can do. If there are guns in the house, her chances of survival are slim. At this point, I just hope she has the courage to pull the trigger first. Either way, life as she knew it is over. I can’t think about the kids. It’s too much heartbreak to take.
I just listened to the call and haven’t read every comment so I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way.
I’m unaware of a 911 operator after the abuser returns says “okay, if he bothers you again call us back” something is off with that call. I’m wondering if they are aware of these two, but to ignore the situation and do nothing, I’m confused. When ever wouldn’t the police not check on the situation?
And YES Lynn Ducan, not telling about the guns could have put “the law” in extreme danger. She willing didn’t admit that they have guns, why?
So disturbing.
I’m with you that 911 operator would have stayed on the phone with her,also to me it didn’t sound like Jenelle.Even though I know David is capable of anything I just think a lot about this situation is strange.
