Jenelle Evans has always been a mess, and that’s always made for good reality TV.
The same goes for Farrah Abraham.
But there’s just something about Farrah that makes pretty much everyone who’s ever seen a single episode of Teen Mom hate her so much.
It’s honestly kind of impressive.
However, with everything going on with Jenelle this week, there seems to be a change in the air.
Is someone actually more hated than Farrah now?!
The Beginning
While Jenelle and Farrah are definitely two of the most controversial figures in all the Teen Mom universe, they have very different stories.
What a Throwback
When we first met Farrah on her episode of 16 and Pregnant, she was a cheerleader in high school, living with her mother and father and dealing with her on-again, off-again boyfriend who tragically passed away before she gave birth to Sophia.
Meanwhile …
As for Jenelle, she was a stoner with an older boyfriend who promised to always be there for her and their baby (spoiler: that was a lie) and a mother who became an icon (love you, Barbara!).
Similarities
Both girls had bad attitudes and strained relationships with their parents and the fathers of their children, and they were both dramatic enough to secure spots on Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2, respectively.
Differences
But the ways in which they were (and continue to be) terrible? They’re pretty different.
Our Girl Farrah
Farrah … you guys know Farrah. The usual issues fans have with her is that she’s so disrespectful to her parents and basically everyone she ever comes across, she got into porn and plastic surgery, and she’s always treated Sophia like a little adult.
Not Cool
She’s said that she and Sophia take nude photos of each other and save them on their phones, she takes her when she gets butt injections so she can film it for social media.
Um …
She pulled poor Sophia out of school so she could homeschool her, which is so wild because she can barely even string together a coherent sentence herself, and she drags her all around the world without much teaching seeming to be involved.
Uh Oh
It’s a sensitive subject, but many fans of the show are concerned that Sophia isn’t getting the education she deserves, and that she’s also struggling emotionally because, well, who wouldn’t in her situation?
Yikes
Remember that thing about Sophia possibly killing their dog last year? Strangely enough, this isn’t the only instance of dog murder we’ll be talking about today, but this one was definitely full of red flags.
And Another Thing!
Oh, and all those trips around the world we mentioned? Lots of people think it’s because Farrah is working as an escort now that the MTV money has run dry.
What a Time
All of this, and really everything about Farrah, means that Teen Mom viewers really, really dislike her.
The Proof
If you don’t believe us, just look at the comments on any of her Instagram posts, or any comments about her anywhere on the internet, really.
So Much Hate
People love calling her names like “slut” and “horse face,” which is unfortunate, because there’s so much to dislike about Farrah without pulling her sex tape or her appearance into it.
Look
Like, if you get on Twitter right now and search her name, all you have to do is scroll through a few news stories to get to some random person who tweeted “Farrah Abraham might be the most annoying bitch ever” for no apparent reason.
Dang
It’s crazy, because other controversial moms like Jenelle and Amber Portwood have always managed to have supporters, people who are quick to point out how much they’ve grown and how much better they’re doing these days. Farrah never gets that.
Facts
So even though other Teen Moms may have done worse things than Farrah, and even though they may be worse mothers, she’s always been, without a doubt, the most hated cast member.
But Wait!
But after this week, Jenelle sure is giving her a run for her money.
Memories
To be clear, Jenelle’s never been a fan favorite or anything. How could she be, after losing custody of her first child because she was too busy smoking weed and partying all night to take care of him?
Wow
Jenelle really was such a huge mess back in the day. She got arrested all the time, and she was so mean to her mother even though she was the one who stepped up to raise Jace.
Classic
Like Farrah, Jenelle has always been just super, super simple — remember when she thought she could get out of going to jail because she had tickets to a Kesha concert?
Too Much
Instead of working to get custody of Jace, she kept smoking weed and getting arrested, and later she developed a heroin addiction and got married to a dude named Courtland for a few months.
Sure
She then got engaged to Nathan Griffith and had a planned pregnancy with him, resulting in her second child, Kaiser — still with no custody of Jace.
Remarkable
She split with Nathan before they could get married, and a month later she was with David Eason. She got pregnant, then had a miscarriage, then got pregnant again and gave birth to little Ensley.
So Sad
Months after that, she went to mediation with her mother where she agreed to her mother getting permanent custody of Jace — they could have gone to trial, but Jenelle chose to settle on that agreement, likely because she didn’t have a chance of getting custody anyway.
Ugh
David, as we all know, is the worst, and there have been plenty of reports that he’s abusive to both Jenelle and Kaiser, and they neglect all the kids.
Hard to Dispute
One of those reports came from Jenelle herself — last fall, she called 911 and told them that David had knocked her down and pinned her to the ground so hard she thought he broke her collarbone.
What a Mess
Nathan is trying to get full custody of Kaiser right now because he says that Kaiser has told him that David abuses him.
HOW?
But despite all of this, there are people who would still defend Jenelle and her choices.
So Crazy
These people blame Barbara for the way Jenelle is, and the point to the fact that she kicked heroin as proof that she’s a good, strong person.
OK
For Jenelle fans, the weed isn’t a big deal, Nathan is a monster trying to make her look bad, David is the best guy she’s ever been with … yeah, it’s madness, but lots of Teen Mom fans think this way.
Here We Go
But after everything that’s been happening this week, those people aren’t so vocal, and the people that don’t like Jenelle? Well, they are very, very upset.
RIP Nugget
At the beginning of the week, David shot Jenelle’s beloved Nugget, a little French bulldog, for allegedly biting Ensley.
What a Nightmare
The whole thing is seriously fishy, because David just happened to be filming Ensley when the “attack” happened — Ensley started climbing all over Nugget and getting in his poor little puppy face, and it was extremely obvious that the dog was getting agitated. Instead of correcting the kid and getting her away from the dog, David encouraged what was happening, and when Nugget gave her a little warning nip (he didn’t even come close to breaking the skin), he went off.
So Gross
In the caption he wrote to go along with the video, he admitted to killing the dog, and he even said that this wasn’t the first time he “bit Ensley aggressively.” THEN WHY DID HE ENCOURAGE ENSLEY TO KEEP MESSING WITH HIM?!
Heartbreaking
It’s a disaster of a story, but David took the dog out back and shot it. Jenelle apparently wasn’t home and didn’t learn about it until later, but when she found out, she was devastated.
Poor Dog
“Nugget… I’m crying everyday,” she posted on Instagram. “I love you so much and I’m so sorry. I’m speechless. You were my side kick and knew the moment I felt bad and would cuddle with me. You still had a lot to learn and a lot to grow from your lessons. Everyday I wake up you’re not here, when I come home you’re not here, when I go to bed… you’re not here. You’re gone forever and there’s no coming back.”
GOOD
She also released an official statement to say that she’s considering divorce, which would be such a blessing.
Well …
So are Teen Mom fans sympathetic with Jenelle here? Nope, not at all.
She’s Not Wrong
Nikkole Paulun from season two of 16 and Pregnant tweeted “Apparently Jenelle’s husband killed their dog yesterday and I just wanna know why that mother f-cker isn’t in jail!? What a worthless piece of freaking sh-t and Jenelle is just as worthless if she stays with that psycho.”
Hot Take
Someone else wrote “Animal and kid lives are disposable to Jenelle. She didn’t GAF about Jace when he was little, she puts her kids in daycare all day for no reason, she’s had countless animals that have mysteriously disappeared. She’s just as big of a piece of sh-t as David.”
Leave Please
“Dear Jenelle Evans,” read another tweet, “you sorry ass excuse of a woman, because of you, your children have been abused & now your dog is f-cking dead. What’s it going to take for you to wake the f-ck up? Get a restraining order & run. Jesus Christ. I’m so done hearing about this f-cking sh-t stain. “
Hmmm
There are definitely some fans who are saying that Jenelle is a victim and that it’s hard to leave abusers, but far more are upset with her for failing to protect her pets and her children from David.
Is She Wrong?
Even Farrah has commented on the situation, saying “I’m sure all the drama Teen Mom production has put a split between them, and I’m sure it will end in divorce.”
It’s Happened
Because of all of this, we feel like the unthinkable has actually happened — the Teen Mom community dislikes a cast member more than Farrah.
A Good Question
As one viewer pointed out on Twitter, “I’m not a Farrah fan by any means, but how does she get fired bc she works in the porn industry but Jenelle is allowed to stay on no matter how many acts of aggression/violence she and her family demonstrate?”
Also This
“MTV should have gotten rid of David and Jenelle literal years ago,” another fan said. “Farrah is also bad but all she did was make a bad porno. David shot and killed a French bulldog.”
A Big Deal
The seems like the general consensus is that Farrah was bad, but Jenelle and her crew are just on an entirely different level.
What a Week
First she lost her beloved dog, and now she’s even more despised than Farrah Abraham … what else can go wrong for Jenelle?
