Jenelle Evans’ husband David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 after he made homophobic comments on social media. On part two of the reunion, Evans comes to her husband’s defense.
“He thinks he shouldn’t have said it the way he did, but he still stands by his views,” she said of the LGTBQ community. “He doesn’t hate those people, he just doesn’t want his kids to grow up and be that way.”
When reunion show host Dr. Drew Pinsky asked how Eason would react if one of his children were gay, she responded, “He said he would still love them and adore them, but he wouldn’t agree with their lifestyle.”
She continued, "It’s the way he was raised. His kids didn’t hear him say that. He doesn’t run around the house saying I hate gay people.”
Dr. Drew then brought up the scene when Evans pulled out a gun on a driver with her son Jace, 9, in the front seat.
“Ever since then I’ve been having PTSD, nightmares,” she said. “I didn’t leave my house for two weeks. I didn’t think about traumatizing Jace at the time. All I thought about was that he almost hurt my son. He almost knocked my son out and that’s what pissed me off.”
She then explained how her gun goes with her wherever she goes because she is scared to be without Eason.
Dr. Drew also sat down with Evans’ baby daddy Nathan Griffith, who filed for full custody of their son Kaiser, 4, claiming Evans and Eason are physically abusive.
“I have a lot of concern about my son being there and a lot going on at that household that I disapprove with,” he explained. “ I will back off if one of you could pass a drug test and they wouldn’t do it. If he has a scratch on his back that doesn’t look like physical abuse, I still take a picture of it. He’s had a black eye, markings on his butt. Hand prints on his arm.”
Also on the reunion special, Leah Messer opened up about her daughter Ali’s battle with Muscular Dystrophy.
“The hardest part is her physically deteriorating and knowing these things are happening to her,” Messer explained. “You don’t know what to expect or when to expect what’s going to happen, but you know something is going to happen.”
She explained how her daughter will “continue to get weaker” and will “probably” need home care one day.
Messer then moved on to discussing her dating life. She revealed she is talking to a 39-year-old man. She is still in a relationship with Jason Jordan.
Kailyn Lowry then took the stage with ex-husband Javi Marroquin. Marroquin admitted to hooking up with Lowry while on a break with ex-girlfriend and co-star Briana DeJesus.
“Every time I try to move on she reels me back in and we’re back in the same place,” Marroquin explained. “Kail was like, ‘Let’s go upstairs so I said, ‘Alright let’s go.â€
