In the middle of Jenelle Evans’ highly contentious divorce from estranged husband David Eason, her Teen Mom: The Next Chapter salary was revealed.
Evans — who rose to fame on Teen Mom 2 before being fired in 2019 — joined the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter spinoff this past season, which featured her moving from North Carolina with her three children to start over in Las Vegas after splitting from Eason in February. (The MTV personality, 32, is mom to son Jace, 15, whom she shares with ex Andrew Lewis, son Kaiser, 10, whom she shares with ex Nathan Griffith, and daughter Ensley, 8, whom she shares with Eason, 35.)
Per court documents obtained by The Sun on Thursday, November 7, Evans’ 2024 earnings were revealed. She notably made a decent amount of money from social media — raking in $16,222 from two weeks’ of OnlyFans content — a sum comparable to her Teen Mom paycheck this season, which was valued at $17,364.75. The check, dated June 11, was for Season 2A of the show. (Notably, Evans was only featured on several episodes of the new series, which gives less screen team to each cast member in favor of more cast members appearing on the show.)
Altogether, between her income from Teen Mom and her income from social media, Evans brought home $44,486.36 in just two months, The Sun reported.
Evans is currently embroiled in serious drama in her personal life. Several months before filing for divorce from Eason, her eldest son, Jace, accused his stepdad of physical abuse. (Eason is currently facing a felony strangulation charge after the alleged incident.)
“I feel a lot safer without David,” Jace told his mom in a September episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, after the reality star split from Eason and moved across the country.
Jace, however, has reportedly been removed from his mom’s home after running away late last month following an alleged fight between the two. (The teen ran away from home several times last year soon after Evans received full custody of him.)
Evans’ manager and current boyfriend, August Keen, also called 9-1-1 on the MTV star over the summer after she allegedly became physically violent toward him, which he later denied.
