The Truth About Jenelle Evans And Chelsea Houska's Relationship
Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans and Chelsea Houska were once good friends. The two reality stars first bonded over their early entrance into motherhood on MTV's hit spin-off series. But, as the two grew older, their lives changed and so did their respective viewpoints.
Things began to go sour between Jenelle and Chelsea in April 2019 after Chelsea's father, Randy Houska, expressed his disapproval with Jenelle's husband David Eason. At the time, David was fired from the MTV show after he reportedly shot and killed the family dog, People reported. While David's role on the series was terminated, Jenelle was allowed to continue filming until she, too, was let go after the season wrapped.
"This is the opportunity to show the contrast that young women can choose to direct their life," Randy said in response to a fan on Twitter, who asked his thoughts on the situation. "Chels chose to focus on her child until the right man appeared vs. choosing a man who is abusive and misogynistic. We tell our story [and] let them choose." Yikes!
Here's what else you need to know about Chelsea and Jenelle's relationship.
Chelsea Houska apparently 'only likes plaid' clothes, according to Jenelle Evans
By July 2020, Jenelle Evans let her fans know that the Teen Mom 2 unity was over. The MTV star posted a throwback photo on social media that she originally took with Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer in 2015. "Fake memories," she captioned the post, as noted by In Touch Weekly. The shady updated caption was in stark contrast from the original 2015 caption that read, "Crazy kids!!! #TeenMom2."
Jenelle followed up the cattiness in October 2020 when she appeared to mock Chelsea's fashion choices on Twitter. "'Life isn't perfect, but your outfit can be," she captioned a pair of photos that showed off her fall attire. But, after one fan asked, "Did you steal that outfit when you broke into Chelsea's house?", Jenelle used the opportunity to send some more shade to her former co-star. "Yeah ... she only likes plaid lol," she replied.
Chelsea hasn't responded to any of the jabs Jenelle has taken at her. But it might be because the pregnant reality star is busy trying to convince her fans to buy a $184 diaper bag.
