Just days after The Ashley broke the news that Jenelle Evans‘ eldest son Jace has been removed from Jenelle’s home following a nasty fight with the former Teen Mom star, Jenelle’s sister Ashleigh Evans Wilson is speaking out on the situation, calling out authorities for not intervening more to help Jenelle’s three kids.
“I feel like the system has failed all these children,” Ashleigh said in a long-winded TikTok video posted on Sunday. “And nothing is ever done about it. Unfortunately, it’s just very sad. It’s just like a repeated cycle..”
Ashleigh— who is estranged from Jenelle but has a good relationship with their mother, Barbara Evans—also addressed allegations of drug use and other unsavory actions recently made to The Sun by Nathan Griffith, the father of Jenelle’s middle son Kaiser. (In addition to Jace and Kaiser, Jenelle also shares daughter Ensley with her estranged ex David Eason.)
Here, The Ashley has broken down some of the information that was revealed by Ashleigh in her recent TikTok videos.
On her & her oldest son Gabriel being upset about what’s going on with Jace:
Ashleigh stated that she and her oldest son Gabriel (who was frequently seen on ‘Teen Mom 2’ hanging out with Jace) are having a hard time processing what’s happened to Jace.
“It really, really bothers me because it really hurts my heart for all of these children, especially Jace,” she said. “I was very close to him. I used to babysit him when he was a baby. I used to help my stepdad and my mom out from time to time. And, I know I moved away and I wasn’t around as much as I’d have like to [have been], but my older son is very close to Jace.
“When I had to explain to him over the past few days what happened to his cousin— who was like a brother to him— it was really difficult,” she continued. “A lot of kids these days are seeing things on social media. And it was very hard for him to articulate and understand what’s going on. He understands that his cousin has issues.”
Ashleigh also stated that Jace has been in contact with Gabriel over the last few months. (We can assume it was by phone or social media, but Ashleigh didn’t specify.) She stated that she saw some of the things Jace had sent Gabriel while he’s been living with Jenelle in Las Vegas.
“I actually uncovered some things in the last few months that have been going on and it’s very heartbreaking and sad,” Ashleigh stated.
On Jenelle allegedly not supervising her kids efficiently:
“I do believe that my niece and nephews need proper supervision,” Ashleigh said. “They need to be looked after a little bit more. Whether or not my sister smokes marijuana or drinks, that’s not an excuse.” (Jenelle’s boyfriend/manager “August Keen” stated in a 911 call made in late August that Jenelle drinks a lot, “does drugs” including pills and smokes marijuana. He later retracted those claims.)
Ashleigh went on to inform her followers about her and Jenelle’s family history with alcoholism.
“I certainly do not ever drink in front of my kids…alcoholism runs on both sides of my family,” Ashleigh said. “On my mom’s side of the family, I had an uncle who took his own life because he was an alcoholic and had mental health issues. I also had my biological dad who is a functional alcoholic. I’ve not spoken to him since I was, like, 19.”
On people blaming Barbara for what’s happened to Jenelle and/or Jace:
Ashleigh said it’s unfair for fans to blame Barbara— who had custody of and raised Jace until the spring of 2023— for the current situation.
“It’s not my mom’s fault, and I don’t appreciate you guys trying to say that,” Ashleigh said. “…my sister is an adult and it’s very disappointing and sad that it’s just, like, a repeat cycle with her. The men that she dates, with the choices that she makes, and just the whole nine yards.”
On Nathan’s statements about drug use, Kaiser vaping & Jenelle taking Kaiser home from Tennessee:
Ashleigh addressed the recent interview that Jenelle’s baby daddy Nathan did with The Sun, in which he expressed his anger that Jenelle left their son Kaiser in Tennessee to live with Nathan’s mom, Doris Davidson, only to yank the 10-year-old back to Las Vegas due to Jenelle getting a lot of hate for leaving her kid. Nathan also talked about Jenelle’s alleged drinking and drug use, and stated that Kaiser was getting in trouble after allegedly being caught vaping and doing other things. (Jenelle and her boooyfriend “August” denied Nathan’s statements.)
Nathan— who is currently not legally allowed to leave the state of Nevada— slammed Jenelle for getting into yet another live-in relationship shortly after leaving her husband David.
“For CPS, not to investigate this or take this seriously, it’s kind of aggravating me, and at the same time, especially [Jenelle] just getting out of a very toxic marriage, going right back into a relationship where a man’s living with her again,” Nathan said in the interview.
Ashleigh applauded Nathan for speaking out.
“Nathan might have had his issues, but, my own opinion about that is that he’s trying to straighten out his life, and he might have had serious issues from the Marine Corps., and with alcoholism and addiction or whatever. But at least he’s trying to better himself,” she said.
On the current state of Nathan’s health:
Ashleigh then addressed Nathan’s health, claiming that he’s suffering from cancer. (Back in August 2022, Nathan himself went on social media and announced that he has hepatocellular carcinoma, a form of liver cancer. He has not spoken publicly about his alleged diagnosis since.)
“He’s very, very sick,” Ashleigh said of Nathan in her TikTok video. “The man has cancer and it’s just very sad that somebody who’s my age could end up like that. A lot of people take life for granted and they don’t understand that.
“…It’s just a very sad situation. As far as [Kaiser’s] Grandma Doris, she’s a loving grandma just like my mom,” Ashleigh said, adding that she feels that Kaiser should have stayed in Tennessee with Doris.
“Nathan could have at least been in his life a little bit more,” she said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen to Nathan. I hope he makes it through and stays strong, and I hope that he can get better and heal and go into remission from cancer and get better. But, maybe this is a wakeup call for him, I don’t know.”
On fearing that Jenelle will take out her anger on Barbara & sever Barb’s ties to Jace:
As The Ashley previously reported, Jace is no longer living at Jenelle’s home, and he is not with Barbara in North Carolina. (The Ashley is refraining from providing additional info about Jace’s current location.)
However, Ashleigh stated that she feels that Barbara has to try to get along with Jenelle— if she hopes to stay in contact with her grandson Jace.
“My mom wants to speak to Jace and try to be with him in his life, so I have to be really careful because, if I say anything, my sister is going to block Jace from my mother’s life and it’s just very hard,” she said. “My mom’s having kind of a difficult time dealing with it because she wants to make sure he’s OK. But you have to be careful, so my mom’s just going to have to be nice to my sister and kiss her ass or whatever…”
Jenelle has not responded to Ashleigh’s latest statements. However, Jenelle has slammed Ashleigh in the past for making public statements about her and her life.

I don’t like Jenelle as much as the next person, but dang If I had as many skeletons in my own closet as Ashley does I probably wouldn’t be running my mouth. Second-hand cringe for sure
What skeletons are you talking about? Jw
Neither barb or jenelle are fit but obviously there’s nothing that warrants keeping them from the homes despite always taking them while they investigate.
I can’t stand Ashleigh. She always pops up when there’s Jenelle drama to try and cash in, even though her own history is just as bad. The whole family is awful and I can’t think of a single member who has ever contributed anything of value to society.
From what I understand Jenelle’s brother Colin isnt a terrible person…he hit a rough patch but has since straightened up.
Seriously?
You can’t stand me because why I speak the truth. What history do I have? That’s bad only the lies and rumors that the media portrays me to be? I can speak out about my sister. It’s not right that everybody can talk about about me but as soon as I say something about my family or how this is affecting the children it’s an issue. I asked everyone to stop talking about my son and my son is suffering along with all the other children. It’s not about Jenelle . It’s about the children.
What history??? How about getting your oldest 2 taken by CPS because of you drug issues as well as the fact that your convicted felon behind can’t keep a job…then Barb had to raise your son Gabriel because you’re WORTHLESS…then CPS took your baby Atlas because you SUCK as a mama just like your sister!!!
When did Jenelle sister become a felon?
And Colin is suddenly cured?
Ashleigh is a convicted felon because she’s a pill popping whore just like her sister…Ashleigh has 4 kids with 4 men just Jenelle has 3 kids with 3 men…and Ashleigh doesn’t have any of hers either.
And people can straighten up their acts, Colin did…those are the FACTS…DEAL WITH THEM
We can’t stand you because you’re trash. Your sister is trash and your mother is trash and to be quite honest if you all went away and no one ever heard from any of you ever again that would be great. But no….you would rather carry on being trash.
Serious question, does Ashleigh wear wigs? I feel like every time I see a pic of her, she’s wearing a wig
@Friggin- yes she does, she has alopecia. -The Ashley
Como sabe que ela tem alopecia?
Ela disse que tem alopecia muitas vezes
@The Ashley- could you please get a “Translate to English” on your comments, not trying to be mean but I can’t for the life of me figure out what Olga is saying.
Google is free.
Olga says, “How do you know she has alopecia?”
My name says, “She said she has alopecia often.”
Time is free too, but it would be MUCH easier (and take less time) to press a “Translate to English” button as opposed to going out of this app and googling these sayings to get them translated.
I don’t have time for that…if you do then great…but not everybody does
Omfg troll Karol doesn’t ‘have time’ to copy/paste a sentence into Google for a translation but she can sit on her ass & bring in those downvotes with her comments, can’t she? 🤣 fucking clown.
You wanna know what else I don’t have time for…I don’t have time for you…so get lost Boss HOG..I emphasize HOG because anyone who uses Kail’s nane in their username has to be as much of a fat cow/hog as she is
You really had to resort to name calling? Sounds about right Karol.
Hi Mimi Jen, how’s Crying Ryan doing these…are you still enabling him?
These days*
She is saying Ashley has Alopecia. It’s actually spelled right there.
A while ago, I tried to post a poem here that all of the “teen” moms should have framed and hung on their walls. “This be the Verse” by Philip Larkin is also the most loved poem in England. It isn’t long and I will bet that everyone who reads it will like it, and will be surprised if most don’t have it memorized by Thanksgiving
CPS didn’t fail these children.
Their sorry sack of shit mother did.
Starting with choosing shitty fathers.
CPS failed them by allowing them to go back to their shitty mother.
CPS absolutely failed them, repeatedly. First their biological parents failed them, them CPS and family courts failed them. Both Jenelle and the system continue to fail them to this day.
CPS never should have returned them after removing them the first time. Jace never should have gone back to Jenelle-and wouldn’t have, if CPS had done their jobs properly during the very first investigation (which was long before that removal, Jenelle has been on CPS radar since Jace was a baby). No one in NC did their job, that much was made very clear. While I hope beyond hope the same isn’t true for Vegas, the odds are against my hope, because MOST states fail children more often than not. A sad reality of the world we live in today. We have an entire system meant to protect children (families too, but, primarily children) and it doesn’t even have a 50% success rate in ANY state. The same goes for similar systems in other countries, so, the US doesn’t hold a trophy on this, btw, it’s such a fucking disaster.
Unpopular opinion but…I do think Barbara was just as unfit as Jenelle to raise any grandchildren. Babysitting, sure, but if you watch the earlier seasons of teen mom, Barbara had no control over Jenelle. She only mothered by screaming and had that creepy ass old fart boyfriend watching Jace. There are plenty of scenes were Barbara is screaming and cursing in front of Jace, it looks like child abuse to me. This is a family of jackasses. If any of those kids become functioning members of society it will defy all odds. Best of luck kids, don’t count on CPS.
I totally agree. Not one of Barbara kids turned out to be productive or responsible members of society. I’m not going to say Barbara is a bad influence on the kids in her care, but how many people here would want Barbara to take care of their kids?
I don’t think anyone thinks barb was perfect, but she was certainly better than Jenelle. Not to mention better than foster care, especially for a teen with mental health issues. Lots of people think kids should be removed from certain parents, not realizing their next home could very likely be worse.
And Mike was barbs longtime boyfriend. He wasn’t a bad dude. At least to the kids. He did run off with the Hootahs waitress 😂
Our system is seriously broken. My grandparents were foster parents for almost 50 years. The stories they heard about other foster homes from children were horrific and traumatizing. Over the years, I think they had to contact the police like five times because of what children confided in them about previous foster homes.
this! Babs failed her childern and Jace and admitted as much abour her childern in the episode janelle and nathan break up because ahe raised them in an abusive home. she is also abusive but verbally which alot of people ignorw. jace was with her for 14 yrs had visiatation to janelle and he turnes out exactly like janelle…. but its not Babs fault? but she raised him….. look janelle isnt mother of the year either and Kaiser and eventual Ensley will be proof of that but how Jace gor to this point is on Babs. the kida need to be taken away get thearpy and anger management classes….. but everyone is right foster care can be just as bad and Jace will be labelled a problem theres no good solution here.
Jace was abandoned by both his parents. He watched his mom have new kids and take care of them after abandoning him. But you think the one adult who stepped up and took care of him is the reason he’s acting out?
Barb had him going to therapy and he was on medication.
She tried to help. Can you imagine how tired she was taking a child to daycare every morning before work and picking him up after work? She held down a full-time job while raising a baby in what her 50/60 years? A job on her feet working with the public Jenelle couldn’t even save lives like she claimed she was going too.
Jenelle should try it once it’s actually very rewarding.
Roast Beef, how the hell does giving him back to his “mama” equal helping him?
She gave up on Jace plain andsimple…and contrary to popular belief that she just couldn’t handle him anymore because of her age that is NOT why she gave up…ill tell yall exact why she gave up…Barb gave up because things are getting too expensive and having to continue to buy the things Jace needed got in the way of her being able to buy herself ciggies and taking care of that dead head Ashleigh…she is NO better than Jenelle or Ashleigh.
That is 💯 why she gave up!!
I missed where Barb was using heroin.
CPS Has felt a lot of children, including these 3.. The best thing Jenelle Has done for these children. Is sign custody of Jace to Barbara.
I don’t think everything needs to be made public, Ashleigh.
Maybe it would be best to reach out to Jace privately and be there for him.
We all know how bad Jenelle is, it’s not a secret.
Yeah, this seems like narcissistic virtue signaling. Look, y’all, I’m the good one! While broadcasting your traumatized nephew’s business to the world for attention.
Exactly! Thank you.
