MTV Former "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans denied claims that her house was sinking.
Former “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans denied rumors that her Riegelwood, North Carolina, house was “sinking.”
Evans confirmed to Heavy that her husband, David Eason, fixed the house in 2019 by installing a French drain system. At the time, Eason and Evans had already stopped filming with MTV.
The former “Teen Mom” star accused The Ashley’s Reality Roundup of saying her house was “sinking” and that she lived in a “swamp.”
“You don’t have proof my house is sinking, you say I live in a swamp.. but you still report it and have to add it to your latest article about the Teen Mom Family Reunion ratings? you’re just picking sides, just admit it lol,” Evans tweeted.
Evans’ message came after The Ashley’s Reality Roundup told fans on Twitter they are not reporting on a rumor about former “Teen Mom” star Kailyn Lowry.
“I have no definitive proof and I’m not going to confirm anything without it, and no other reputable outlet will either,” The Ashley wrote.
Lowry has denied multiple times that she was having a fifth child, yet there are some fans who still suspect she’s hiding a secret baby.
Evans Said Her House Was ‘Sinking’ on ‘Teen Mom 2’ in 2018
Evans talked about having problems with her home on the season 8 episode of “Teen Mom 2” called “Quicksand.” It was less than a year after Evans and her husband moved onto the property with their children.
“The homes guy in Wilmington… he’s trying to say that we put too much dirt on the land to fill our puddles and that we’re making all the water go down under our house,” Evans told a friend.
“It was flooded to begin with and there’s water under our house,” she continued. “Our house is sinking, basically. There’s air coming out of the ceiling.”
Eason also expressed concerns about the home when someone came to inspect it. When the worker suggested they get drainage away from the home, Eason said, “You can take that idea and you can shove it up your a**, because my house is falling the mud.”
Eason wanted the house to be raised, or for more dirt to be put under the home.
Eason was fired from “Teen Mom 2” in 2018 aired over offensive comments he wrote on social media. Evans was released from the series in 2019 after Eason shot and killed their French bulldog, Nugget.
Evans went on to become a social media influencer on Instagram, where she has 3.1 followers, and on TikTok, where she has 2.8 followers. She has occasionally made cameos on “Teen Mom” since her firing but has not returned to the series full-time.
The Modular Home Company Confirmed Water Was Collecting Under the Home
Chris Holmes, P.E. Associates, Inc., the modular company that built Evans and Eason’s home, said water was collecting under the home, according to a report obtained by Radar Online in 2019.
“It is our opinion that the house should have been raised higher than it is presently,” the report said, per Radar Online. “We feel that the French drain will be one of the only solutions that can be utilized at this time. Some additional soil can also be placed at this end of the house to help alleviate the water from ponding.”
