Jenelle Evans‘ (most-recent) estranged soulmate says the Teen Mom star needs to be taught a lesson— one that apparently includes three hots and a cot!

“August Keen”— who recently split from Jenelle after about 10 months of being her manager-turned-boyfriend— told OK! Magazine that Jenelle needs to “grow up” and stop her “diabolical antics,” and that going to jail may be the thing that makes her do it.

As The Ashley told you on Monday, “August” (real name: Daniel Miranda) and Jenelle split in part because she discovered he had been living with another girlfriend while Jenelle was dating him. That girlfriend— whose name is Cristal Herrera— recently went to the police station to report that Jenelle allegedly threw away her mail out of spite. Jenelle then apparently bragged about committing the crime in messages sent to Cristal on social media before Cristal blocked her.

After The Ashley posted the story about Cristal reporting the alleged crime to the police, Jenelle took to X to deny Cristal’s claims, stating she’s never met Cristal and that she never throws away mail unless it’s her own.

In his new interview “August” stated that he has asked Cristal to pause on going after Jenelle for the alleged mail-trashing crime for now, but that he won’t hesitate to move forward with it if necessary.

“[I don’t] want Jenelle to go to jail because she has kids to raise,” he said. “I’m not a monster like she is. I can think normally and understand consequences and, if Jenelle goes to jail, the kids will suffer because she is their source of income — and the kids love her very much.”

However, he claims if the fired ‘Teen Mom’ star continues with her “diabolical antics,” he wants her punished.

“Jail might teach her the lesson because she needs to grow up and love herself,” “August”— who also accused Jenelle on social media of hacking into and wiping his phone of data— said.

“She will have two felonies on her record, and she will go to jail for both wiping [my] phone and [tossing] Cristal’s mail, both of which are federal crimes.”

As The Ashley reported, Cristal stated in her report to police that she had been living with Jenelle and “August,” something “August” went on to clarify. He told the magazine that Cristal lived with him for two years (and never with Jenelle), and that some of Cristal’s mail had been sent to his house even though she no longer lived with him. This alleged incident occurred while “August” and Jenelle were still together.

“When I picked up my mail, I threw it in the car without looking at it,” “August” said. “Jenelle cleaned my car and saw the mail the next day. She told me she threw her mail away, and that annoyed me, but what can I do? I apologized to Jenelle.” 

Jenelle went on to allegedly brag to Cristal about throwing away her mail. (“August” shared a screenshot of the messages with OK!) 

“August” claims that Jenelle continues to raise hell with him, and Cristal is angry about it.

“Cristal is pissed that Jenelle is lying about everything,” he told the magazine. “She would have left her alone, but Jenelle keeps attacking me and since Cristal is someone who cares for me, she doesn’t appreciate [Jenelle’s] behavior toward me — especially because she knows how close me and Jenelle were, and she thinks it’s a huge stab in the back.”

“August” said that, despite having people telling him that he should call Child Protective Services on Jenelle, he would never do that, because he was so close to Jenelle’s kids Jace, Kaiser and Ensley. (As The Ashley told you, “August” once called Jenelle’s children his “stepkids” during a conversation with the police.)

“The kids and Jenelle and I became an instant family and that’s not an easy thing to figure out,” the lip ring aficionado stated. “But the kids are happy children.”
