Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Jenelle Evans might be one of the break out stars of Teen Mom. After all, she became a household name and constant tabloid fodder thanks to the hit reality television series. Of course, Jenelle Evans is no longer a teen and according to some critics out there, she’s not much of a mom, either. Yet, she’s managed to extend her 15 minutes of fame (and then some) for all of the incredibly bizarre things she’s said and the way she conducts her personal life.

To put it simply, it’s messy.

It almost seems like Jenelle makes more bad choices than good, which result in plenty of fights, disputes, arguments with her mom and a never ending custody battle for her son, Jace.

Jenelle knows that she’s the bad girl of MTV. That’s probably why she says and does so many outrageous things. That, or she simply doesn’t care about what her critics think of her. In fact, Jenelle doesn’t seem to really care about what the court system thinks about her too as she’s continually in and out of court rooms all the time.

With all of that being said, we’ve got 15 photos of Jenelle Evans as a mom. Take a look below and let us know what you think!

15 Is She A Good Mom?

Before we get into this, we’ll say this: it’s without a doubt that Jenelle Evans loves her children. She might have a hard time showing it (or being there for them for that matter) but there’s no doubt that she loves them. Jenelle might have made a lot of bad choices in her life, but she’s not an awful person. She’s just a little misguided, maybe sometimes a little disoriented and even misinformed. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love her kids.

Of course, her critics think differently. Who can forget when she said, "I still haven't seen Jace because I've been so busy working and hanging out with Kieffer." Talk about a major face palm moment. She prefers to spend more time with her boyfriends than her actual son.

14 Her Messy Personal Life

Jenelle Evans has been with so many different men over the years that honestly, we stopped keeping count. And what’s worse, none of them have been winners, either. A lot of them have had sketchy pasts or have done things that have landed them behind bars while they were with Jenelle. For some reason that we can’t explain, Jenelle just loves having a bad boy by her side. Unfortunately, her boyfriends have only added to all of the drama and trouble in her life.

From her current husband David Eason to her first, Andrew Lewis, each guy seems to carry a lot of baggage with him. Jenelle is quite better off on her own but we don’t think that will ever happen. Some will go as far as saying that she’s addicted to the drama.

13 Her Logical Response For Not Having Her Baby With Courtland Rogers

One of her messier relationships was with her ex, Courtland Rogers. To put it quite simply, he wasn’t one of her better boyfriends. They dated from September 2012 until January of 2013. Not only was it a messy relationship, but a fast one, too. It only took two months for Courtland to propose to her. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and of course, in front of the MTV reality television cameras.

They were married on December 4 but broke things off after a domestic dispute one month later. Some reports indicated that Jenelle had miscarried the couple’s child. Other media outlets reported something much more different. That was, until Jenelle had this to say: "It would be selfish to Jace if I had another child. I decided to get an abortion."

12 Who Can Ever Forget This Quote?

Sometimes it feels as though Jenelle Evans lives on a different planet. No, seriously, she does seem like she’s in a world of her own. She has said some of the most bizarre things in the past. Half of it is so weird that we couldn’t even try to make it up if we tried.

No one can forget when Jenelle got arrested for violating her probation to see Kesha. She said, "I got second-row seats to see Kesha ... you don't understand, this is my idol. She's like my idol ... I really can't miss that concert. That's why I got all these feathers in my hair. I bought clothes for the concert. I've set up hotel rooms for the concert. Like no one understands how important this concert is to me. It’s not just a concert. It’s Kesha."

11 Her Messy Relationship With Her Mother Barbara

It’s no secret that Jenelle Evans has always had a messy relationship with her mother, Barbara. Some people think it’s because Barbara is the bigger star on Teen Mom (ha!) while others just like to call it the way they see it: Jenelle is an out of control, selfish, spoiled brat who has had a hard time adjusting to adulthood and her life as a mom. She’s just never transitioned from “Teen Mom” to adult mom with responsibilities.

For Barbara though, this is especially concerning. That’s because she’s struggled to give Jenelle’s son Jace the love and the life that he deserves. Jenelle is the one Teen Mom that gave up custody of her child to live a party life instead. Jace doesn’t deserve that. Heck, Barbara doesn’t deserve that. But Jenelle’s main concern seems to be herself and that’s it.

10 She Refuses To Fix Her Relationship With Her Mother

For a lot of people, their mother is the most important person in their life. You know that, I know that, heck every one of your neighbors know that. You don’t turn your back on your mother. You can have your disputes and your arguments, but you forgive and you forget. But for Jenelle, that’s not the case at all.

Jenelle didn’t invite her mom to her own wedding to her current husband, David Eason. I mean, who does that? To make matters worse, she even scheduled her wedding on the same day that she had custody of her son Jace, which meant that Barbara couldn’t do anything about it. Plus, rumor has it that Barbara also disapproves of David. As a result, Jenelle didn’t have any family members at her wedding.

9 No, She Didn’t Steal Her Mom’s Credit Cards

Even though Jenelle Evans has done a lot of sketchy things in the past, she insists that she’s not a bad person. And she certainly isn’t a thief either. She just likes to borrow things that maybe aren’t hers to replenish a few much-needed provisions. No big deal.

During an episode of Teen Mom, Barbara confronted her daughter about her sticky fingers when she realized that she used her credit cards without her authorization. Jenelle explained it this way: "Well yeah I did use your credit cards, but only to get gas and to get food." Um, ok. Whatever you say, Jenelle. According to Barbara, Jenelle lies so much that it’s hard to tell when she’s telling the truth and when she’s not. It’s no wonder these two have such a toxic relationship.

8 Pregnant With Confusion

Jenelle has a hard time telling the truth. We know that. Heck, anyone who has ever watched her for five minutes on television knows that. But what a lot of people couldn’t understand is why she decided not to tell the truth about her third pregnancy with her child, Ensley. Even though she was visibly showing with a pretty sizeable baby bump, Jenelle refused to tell the truth. In fact, her own mother didn’t even find out about her pregnancy until she read about it online.

But then again, could Jenelle have been just pregnant with confusion. With her, you just never know! I mean, she did once say this in the past: "I don't know if my pregnancy test is positive because I'm pregnant, or because I still have elevated hormones because of my recent abortion."

7 Her Childhood Trauma

One of the reasons why Jenelle is the way she is today is because she didn’t have an easy life. Her childhood wasn’t normal to say the least. She has a lot of open wounds from her past that haven’t healed yet. She called her father a “notoriously mean drunk” while her mother called her every single awful name in the book.

Jenelle recalled in her memoir “Read Between the Lines: From The Diary of a Teenage Mom:” “She used to throw [those words] around quite liberally. I guess we all have a breaking point and hanging out with an 18-year-old did it for her. I was a ‘little whore’ to her, and that was that.” Barbara, for her part denies calling Jenelle “nasty names,” adding that she likes to twist the truth a lot.

6 She Accused MTV Of Exploiting Her

If it weren’t for Teen Mom, Jenelle Evans wouldn’t be where she is today. There’s no denying that she’s a household name because of the show. And even though Jenelle did sign up for the show and knew what she was getting into, she accused the network of exploiting her and editing certain scenes to make her look bad.

Now, we understand Jenelle because hey, no one wants to look like an idiot in front of millions of people week after week, right? But Jenelle did sign up for this. No one forced her into this, either. And she certainly does love cashing in those MTV paychecks that help her pay her bills, right? If she truly did feel like the show was exploiting her, she could have easily quit a long time ago. But that’s never going to happen. Jenelle is addicted to the attention.

5 Keepin’ It Classy

While there’s no doubt that a lot of people like to slam Jenelle for the things she says and does, we will be extremely nice in saying that yes, she is a very pretty woman. In fact, with the right kind of make up and styling, we will even go as far as saying that she’s beautiful. If it weren’t for her good looks, people wouldn’t be paying that much attention to her. There’s something about her that makes people love her, hate her, or just love to hate her (and you know which one you are).

Of course, Jenelle has also given us this gem in the past: "I'm gonna wear my heels to court 'cause they make me look more classier." And who says that money can’t buy you class? Jenelle’s critics know nothing. Ha!

4 Her Vision For The Future

Believe it or not, Jenelle Evans still wants more children in the future. Even though she has one of the messiest personal lives we’ve ever seen, Jenelle still thinks she has a shot for a better future. And quite honestly, we wish her nothing but the best. Everyone deserves a chance at happiness, right? Plus, there’s always the chance that Jenelle might one day turn all of her wrongs into rights, hopefully. She’s still young and she’s got plenty of time ahead of her.

Jenelle said not too long ago, "I definitely want to try one more time for a little girl. But of course, that's not any time soon. I have birth control, Nexplanon, for three years in my arm. So, it's not like I can do anything about it, and I don't want to right now."

3 Will Her Marriage To David Eason Last?

When it comes to someone like Jenelle Evans, you just never know what to expect. One moment she’s madly in love, the next moment someone calls the cops to her house after she has a domestic dispute with her spouse. We’ve seen it way too many times. And of course, we have a feeling that we will see it again.

Now, no one knows what Jenelle’s future will hold but as of right now, things don’t look very good. She’s been forced to deny several reports that David has violated her and her family’s safety. She’s also been forced to deny that they’ve been having marital problems, despite the fact that they’ve only been married for a few short weeks. Something tells us that Jenelle might be hiding the truth about something.

2 Her Arrest Record

Jenelle Evans has gotten arrested so many times in the past that people have actually done a timeline of her mugshots and her arrests. In fact, we’ve even counted them: she’s been booked a record 16 times! No other reality television star has been arrested as many times as Jenelle Evans. MTV sure did pick a winner when they cast her to be on Teen Mom so many years ago! They probably knew there was something very special about her. Ha!

Yet, Jenelle isn’t worried about her past crimes and how it will affect her future. She once said, "When I have background checks done, I had my record expunged for all the dismissed charges I've had. Really, I don't have anything on my record other than arrested numerous times."

1 What’s Next For Jenelle Evans?

At this point, the only thing that we can really hope is that Jenelle Evans will keep doing what’s best for her and for her three children and of course, stay out of trouble. And we also hope that she will find a man that will love her for who she is and not her MTV paychecks. It might sound like it will never happen, but it’s possible. A lot of people have managed to turn their lives around and there’s a chance that Jenelle might do the same with her own life, too.

With that being said, we still have a feeling that we will be talking about Jenelle and all of her shenanigans for years to come. She’s managed to stay in the headlines for this long, after all. As much as her critics don’t want to admit it, she’s not going anywhere, anytime soon. Watch this space.
