Following the revelation that Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after a fight with David Eason, the Teen Mom 2 star has spent much of the past few weeks defending her husband against assault allegations.
Evans’ efforts to convince her social media followers that Eason is a stand-up guy have grown increasingly desperate, and the more we learn about her home life, the more troubling the situation becomes.
Take a look:
Repairing His Reputation In the weeks since Jenelle’s hospitalization, she’s been working overtime to demonstrate to her Instagram followers that her family is happier than ever.
Not Buying It Unfortunately for Jenelle, TM2 fans aren’t buying it, primarily because of the ever-growing mountain of evidence to the contrary.
The Injury Fans first became suspicious when Jenelle was rushed to an area hospital late at night without explanation.
The Call (2015 Bruce Glikas) Their suspicions were confirmed when a recording of Jenelle’s 911 call was released.
The Proof In the recording, a tearful Jenelle can be heard describing the injuries she suffered as a result of her encounter with an intoxicated Eason.
Horrifying Jenelle says that Eason became “aggressive because he’s been drinking” and pinned her to the floor so hard she thought he had broken her collarbone.
Jenelle Explains Last week, Jenelle posted a video in which she defended David and explained that while she’s been involved in multiple “domestic violence situations” in the past, that is not currently the case.
Everything’s “Fine” “I know everyone’s concerned about me,” she told the camera, “and I know everyone wants to know ‘Is she OK, how are the kids, blah blah blah blah blah. Everything’s fine.”
A Troubling Observation While most of the reactions to the video had to do with the content of Jenelle’s message, some fans commented that the Teen Mom 2 star appears to be missing some of her lower teeth.
Clearing the Air In response to those claims, Jenelle posted a new Instagram Story in which she explains her dental situation.
The Whole Tooth “So you guys don’t think I have teeth at the bottom,” Evans says in the video. “I mean, supposedly I got my teeth knocked out, right? Wrong!”
Working on Retainer (Getty) “If you’re dying to know, I have a retainer,” Jenelle continues.
Realignment “Why do I have a retainer on my teeth?” Jenelle says. “Because I’m realigning my jaw.”
No Plastic Surgery For Jenelle! “So instead of going the plastic surgery route like most people, I’m … not,” Evans explains.
#FakeNews (MTV) “So now you can stop making fake articles,” Evans adds.
Does Her Story Check Out? Fans were quick to point out that jaw realignments generally aren’t necessary unless some sort of injury to the jaw has occurred.
Randy’s Take Chelsea Houska’s father, Randy, is a dentist, and it seems he’s not buying into Jenelle’s explanation.
Sketchy Stuff (Getty) So unless dentists in North Carolina are using techniques that are unfamiliar to dentists elsewhere in the country, it appears that Jenelle’s story doesn’t quite hold water.
What Really Happened? That’s not to say that David broke Jenelle’s jaw, but it’s certainly not hard to see why some fans may have jumped to that conclusion.
The Mystery Deepens Whatever the case, you can bet that the public scrutiny of David and his history of violence won’t be going away anytime soon.
