Jenelle Evans is not happy with her former stepdaughter, Maryssa, and in a private message sent to Maryssa by Jenelle, the fired Teen Mom star threatens to start a social media war with the 17-year-old.
During a TikTok Live Jenelle— who, mind you, is 33 years old— recently addressed a joke posted on TikTok by Maryssa in which Maryssa– who is the daughter of Jenelle’s soon-to-be ex-husband David Eason— poked fun at being raised on The Land by Jenelle. Although Jenelle brushed the joke off while Live on TikTok on Wednesday, her private response to Maryssa— which was exposed on X by David’s current girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole— was anything but joking, with Jenelle calling Maryssa “a broken girl,” among other things.
“I’m not mad at her. She’s being influenced right now by different people around her to act the way she wants to,” Jenelle said on Live of Maryssa. “So I’m not going to post anything in retaliation.”
During her Live, Jenelle went on to actually credit Maryssa for staying in touch with her younger sister Ensley since Jenelle moved to Las Vegas.
“I’ve been really nice to Maryssa,” Jenelle said. “I didn’t know there was anything wrong between us….it’s whatever. Little kids are gonna talk s**t, ya know what I’m saying?”
While publicly Jenelle seemed to be unfazed by Maryssa’s jab, it did apparently bother her, as she allegedly sent the 17-year-old a private message bashing her for not being grateful for everything Jenelle did for her. Jenelle also threatened to escalate a TikTok back-and-forth with Maryssa if she didn’t stop posting.
On X, David’s girlfriend Kenleigh posted the message that Maryssa allegedly received from Jenelle.
“You’ve got jokes? Me too,” Jenelle reportedly wrote to Maryssa. “It’s sad you’re a broken girl and addicted to your dad’s love after what he did to you. I’ll pray for you.
“I did everything for you and you never even said thank you one time for me raising you, buying you everything and anything you’ve ever needed, and gave you a roof over your head. If you want to match at this TikTok game we certainly can and I’ll tag you.”
This isn’t the first time Jenelle has insinuated that Maryssa is ungrateful for the life on The Land that Jenelle provided. Back in March 2024, Jenelle opened up about her relationship (or lack thereof) with Maryssa.
“She refuses to talk to any of us,” Jenelle wrote during an Instagram Q&A at the time. “She’s always been distant and I just don’t think I was ever looked at as her ‘stepmom.’ By the way I was disrespected so much by my ex [David], I feel like she wanted to feel the same way her dad did towards me. Very prideful!”
As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle booted Maryssa from The Land in early 2024, after David left to go live on the couple’s broken-down boat. Jenelle informed the then-16-year-old that she could no longer live on The Land, because she needed Maryssa’s room to accommodate Jace, whom Jenelle had recently regained custody of. (Jenelle ended up moving with her kids to Las Vegas shortly after this.)
Maryssa was sent to live with her mother and stepfather, something that angered David and contributed to the couple finally splitting up.
Speaking of David, Jenelle recently threatened him with more legal action, as she felt that Maryssa posting about her (and Kenleigh reposting it) was essentially David harassing her through them. (David is currently legally restricted from harassing Jenelle due to a restraining order she has against him. If she could prove this was him harassing her, then it would, indeed, be a violation of the restraining order she has against David.)
“I mean if you want to catch another violation charge for 3rd party harassment be my guest David,” Jenelle tweeted and (very) quickly deleted on X.
Anyway, Maryssa seemed to respond to Jenelle’s message on Wednesday. She posted herself lip-syncing to Megan Moroney‘s song “Bless Your Heart,” specifically the lyrics, “No chance you’d say it to my face/ Go hate somebody else/ I’m kinda busy if you can’t tell.”

UPDATE! After the message was posted, Jenelle seemed to be trying to do damage control by posting a montage and message to Maryssa.
“We miss you Maryssa,” Jenelle wrote. “Hope this gets to you! …But I’m very happy to see the young woman you have grown into. I’ve watched you, grow up, raised you, and saw you blossom. I’m happy to see you graduated high school and we talked recently about nursing school, hope that’s going well. I’ve always wanted the best for you and make sure you stay focused and not let others steer you in unnecessary directions. Have your own opinion, and don’t be influenced by others. One day I want to see you traveling as much as we did! Anyways, we miss you and will always be here if you need someone to talk to or if you need to get away ” #FamilyFirst #StepDaughter #HappyGraduation”

Marissa, you are a beautiful girl. Rise above this lunatic and go on to have a happy and healthy life. For real girlfriend, if you lay down with dogs you get fleas. I love dogs, but you get what I’m saying. Rise above.
What did David do to Maryssa, Jenelle, and what did you do to protect he from him? Is she supposed to be grateful after you kicked her out as soon as you split from David?
And now you wanna play nice to the girl after you threatened her? You are foul.
I’m sure that was said just in case maryssa leaked the messages. Like her way of taking another jab at David and trying to get everyone to run after him with their pitch forks to get the heat off her.
For the love of Pete Jenelle, grow up! You’re a 33 year old “recovered” addict, who drinks and smokes the ganja, with no job, no prospects and the emotional maturity of a 13 year old. Bullying a 16 year old because you can’t take a joke is beyond sad and pathetic. Well done on Kennel Cough for reposting your message. You earn the ridicule you receive. Too bad you can’t monetize it.
Cuntnelle was low but damn this was low low. Who the hell is she to send a child a message like that? God she needs to get off her abusive high horse.
For years it’s been discussed what David has put Jenelle’s kids through, and I’m glad the world will finally acknowledge that Jenelle is literally not any better than David. Oh but wait, I think he was a much better mother than her. So I guess they are a little different.
I’m sure that Maryssa could literally end Jenelle if she wanted. Jenelle should count her blessings and zip it.
I think that’s why Jenelle has panicked. She KNOWS maryssa has the tea!!
Jenelle is such a bitch. She has tormented Maryssa online before. (and God only knows the abuse she suffered on the sinking land) When Egghead David and Jenelle lost custody of their kids Maryssa was brave enough at a very young age to get on the stand and testify to the abuse that she and the other kids had suffered at the hands of David and Jenelle.
The Judge does nothing to protect the kids as per usual with David & Jenelle and hands the kids right back over to their abusers. Jenelle jumps online with David and proceeds to say that Maryssa is a liar, she has mental issues, she is horrible to the other kids, she is disrespectful…anything that Jenelle could think of to discredit Maryssa. It had the opposite effect for me. Jenelle is the liar, not Maryssa.
Now you have Maryssa a teenager that made a tiny comment on tik tok. She didn’t get online and spew lies and blast Jenelle with information that I am quite sure Maryssa has. Probably damaging information regarding Jenelle. Instead you have a 33 year old threatening and bullying a teenager. Jenelle is lucky that I’m not Maryssa’s mother. I would knock that smirk right off of her face.
biological or not, it speaks VOLUMES of a parental figures character when they bring up “everything they’ve done” for the child against them like excuse me you’re mad at a child for doing what you’re SUPPOSED to be doing??? and like we didn’t already know this but it’s extremely pathetic of jenelle to not only be having online beef with anyone in general but a 17 year old???? like u got more serious issues you need to deal with if that’s what you’re doing at 32 😂
Maryssa is really pretty and I’m sure that burns someone who wasted their youth on drugs and drama like Jenelle did.
Also, yeah, Jenelle. A teen is gonna beat you at your own game.
Did you really think those messages weren’t gonna get exposed?
She really is dumb.
Maryssa would be wise to ignore Jenelle, that would fry her even more.
