Jenelle Evans’ most-recent ex-soulmate claims the fired Teen Mom star pawned off her parental responsibilities on him and left him stuck with a bill for her son Jace’s medical procedures!
“August Keen” (real name: Daniel Miranda) broke up with Jenelle last month and, since that time, the two exes have been bickering back-and-forth via media interviews and shady social media posts. On Tuesday, “August” came out swinging at Jenelle in a new interview with OK! Magazine, accusing her of being too HIGH! HIGH! to parent her three children, often leaving him to “play the parent” to Jace, Kaiser and Ensley– none of whom are his children.
“August” also claimed in the interview that Jenelle refused to take her oldest son Jace to the hospital after he injured his hand, leaving “August” to finally do so while Jenelle went out of town. The hospital trip reportedly left “August” with a hefty bill, which he claims Jenelle expects him to pay.
“I took Jace to the hospital one day because Jenelle kept refusing to take him because she was always too high and he had a messed up hand,” “August” told the magazine. “It was a constant battle, and I kept telling her he needs to go to the hospital, he’s in pain, his hand looks messed up, but she kept putting it off.”
(From what The Ashley hears, Jace injured his hand during one of the times he was destroying things inside Jenelle’s home. One of those times, Jenelle called 911 on Jace to report him. He was temporarily removed from Jenelle’s home after that incident but came back soon after.)
Anyway, “August” claims he ended up taking Jace to the hospital while Jenelle was in North Carolina for one of her many court hearings.
“As the adult, I had to sign off for it, so the bill for the hospital went under my name,” he said, adding that he’s been asking Jenelle to pay for her son’s bill for months but she has refused.
“She is refusing to pay for her own child’s medical expenses and expects me to pay for it,” he said, adding that Jenelle told him to call the hospital and deal with the bill himself.
“August”— who was Jenelle’s soulmate in Las Vegas after she left husband David Eason— then slammed Jenelle’s parenting abilities, claiming she was too busy using drugs to deal with the day-to-day tasks that come with being a mom, and often expected him to take charge of the kids.
“She needs to step up as a mother and take care of her kids and stop expecting for everyone else to step up and play the parent,” “August” said. “Just like my relationship with her, I was the one going to all the parent conferences and dealing with the kids’ school stuff when they got in trouble because she was always too high to give a s**t and go herself.”
As The Ashley previously reported, “August” called the police on Jenelle back in August and claimed Jenelle was very drunk and had “been hitting him all night.” In the same call, he told the 911 operator that Jenelle drinks a lot, takes pills and smokes a lot of weed. (Jenelle later denied his claims.)
When cops arrived to Jenelle’s home that night, “August” told them he was the stepfather of Jenelle’s kids, despite the fact that he and the fired ‘Teen Mom’ star never got hitched. (You can watch the police body cam footage from that night below!)

In his new interview, “August” basically doubled down on the claims he made that night, stating that he acted as a stepfather to Jace, Kaiser and Ensley because Jenelle wouldn’t step up as a parent. He told the magazine that he would often get calls from the kids’ schools because Jenelle would “never answer” her phone when they called.
“She would get mad at the schools for them calling her so much [and] she would have meltdowns that the principal or after-school programs would call her,” “August” said, before stating that, in his opinion, Jenelle would have lost custody of her kids by now had he not been around.
“If it wasn’t for me, she probably wouldn’t have her kids right now,” he said.
“She needs to take accountability for her own children and pay this hospital bill!” “August” added. “I would take care of it, but she doesn’t deserve that from me.”
Jenelle took to social media soon after the interview was posted, and accused “August” of trying to get attention. (It’s important to note, however, that Jenelle did not deny his claims.)
“It’s givingggg attention seeking a**hole,” Jenelle wrote on X on Tuesday.
UPDATE! The online bickering between “August” and Jenelle continues. On Wednesday, Jenelle was back on social media, responding to her former manager-turned-soulmate’s accusations.
“Last time I checked… I’m the one that took the kids to and from school,” Jenelle wrote on Facebook. “I’m the one that feeds them every meal. I’m the one that dealt with schools and when I was busy God Forbid I ask for a favor from someone I once trusted. I’m the one that takes care of them when they are sick.”
Jenelle also stated that “August” had once told her that she is “too good of a mom” and that she spoils her kids.
“Your words not mine. Don’t backtrack about my parenting skills when you don’t even have any to begin with,” Jenelle said. “The difference between me and you is that I don’t sell articles… I don’t need the money as bad as you. To think another person I’ve known for years would act this way just puts me back to #TrustNoOne but my kids.”
She also tweeted that “August” should “be a man” and take care of Jace’s medical bill himself, while also referencing the fact that she had to co-sign a car loan for “August.”
“Oh and one last thing…” she wrote. “You always act like a little bitch. Be a man and handle your own bills. It’s a simple phone call bro, and get me off the car loan you couldn’t finance by yourself.”

Why would it ever even be a question as to whether or not she should pay for HER child’s medical bill!? So did she NOT think Jace needed medical attention and figured he should just “suck it up” so she didn’t have to shell out any money or time to get him cared for? It’s disgusting she’d even argue a bill like this. It isn’t like August is asking for MORE of anything. Every time I think Jenelle can’t get any more delusional and gross, she proves me wrong. Just give the kids to the parents who WANT them. I’m NOT a fan of David, but he LOVES his children. He would absolutely care for Ensley as a father. Nathan’s Mom would happily take Kaiser again and MAYBE he might have a chance to not grow up a loose cannon and a train wreck waiting to happen. I feel most for Jace because he’s already an older teen. He has only a few years to be a ‘legal” adult, but he has no real, proper life skills. The thought of this young man in LAS VEGAS with no guidance, no rules and no clue – baaad news. I pray for this kid. I really do. Jenelle is worse than a wreck, she’s worse than a mess. I’m convinced she’s doing escorting and that’s why she’s always in hotels “taking a break”. She has more “me time” and “breaks” than anyone on earth!
Every man she’s ever been with has had to take on the bulk of the parental duties. David was, ironically, the only reason the kids survived as long as they did on The Land. He abused them, but he didn’t neglect them. They would have starved in a pile of fifth if it was left up to Jenelle. March Keen should have known what he was getting into.
Won’t pay for his mental health treatment, so he gets sent home . Won’t pay his medical bills. But she sure as shit can buy him weed.
He was going to the parent teacher conferences?!!!
I actually completely believe it too.
Not breaking news bro.
Just like Jenelle, wants to play the victim when it suits his narrative.
She’s been a trash parent and human for far longer than acceptable, but people keep dating her and keep putting her on tv!
Augtember, do you honestly believe you’re saying anything that’s making us gasp in shock and clutch our pearls? Do you honestly believe that those of us with any common sense think you’re some kind of savior?
Repeat after me: You’re just as bad as Jenelle because you sat back and allowed this to happen. YOU need charges brought against you, just like they need to be brought against HER. Douche bag.
So, basically, it’s more of the same. She said she’d didn’t have to stop partying just because she was pregnant and having a child when she was teenager. As I recall she and Andrew (🤢) we’re going to live happily ever after with their perfect little family and then she abandoned her baby. She’s a parody of her teenaged self.
We all knew this. David was OG mama and August played mama after him. People say she can’t be without a man but let’s be honest, she takes care of them so they’ll take care of the kids she can’t be bothered with. She doesn’t have a motherly bone in her body.
Imagine being the Judge of the custody hearing and only having Jenelle and David as options. Also, I know lying to the police is a crime but what about lying about lying to the police? August told the police she was drunk and high before they got there that night. Then he backtracked when they said they would have to take her in and now he is admitting publicly he lied? Crazy.
Consider the medical bill a stupid tax on you for getting with a known trash bag.
So when CPS was investigating Jenelle, he did what with all of this information?? And now, when he can make a quick buck off of it, he’s acting like he gives a shit about those kids? Jenelle and all of her soulmates are terrible people. And once again, those children have absolutely no one taking care of them.
instead of speaking with the media should he not be making a statement to child protective services!
Also he knew her before he got involved with her, he did jump into this blind he deserves all he gets!
You were her “manager” for years. You knew she was messed up and you still got into a relationship with her. You brought this on yourself.
Right I mean this guy did know her for years, he knows exactly what she’s like.
But never met in person till David and Jenelle broke up.
I feel like if you have legitimate concerns about her parenting abilities, you should be getting in touch with her swamp donkey ex and not spreading this shit all over the Internet.
Thought you can’t do any medical unless you’re a caregiver/parent/family member.
I mean it’s not like he didn’t know her so him crying all about this is just sad. He knew 🤣
More than likely gave him power of attorney due to all her “Business trips ” Still needs to pay her kids bill.
Only if she could print it off the internet.
Emergency situations have different rules.
I was a nanny during college, you can take a child for emergency care without being a parent/guardian. I learned this when my then employer left town and left me with a two year old who had picked up meningitis on vacation. How he’s “stuck with the bill” I don’t know. I took the kid to the hospital but his parents still got the bill, not me. I’m calling bullshit on this. He wants attention and is as bad as her.
I agree with you. I do think he’s a clout chaser. Maybe he thinks he’ll have more “talent” reach out to him as a “manager.” I don’t feel bad for anyone who hangs around Jenelle. He got a car on her dime. Pay the f’m medical bill then.
Unless he lied to the hospital like he lied to the cops and said he was Jace’s stepfather. That would make sense why he was billed. Sounds like it backfired on him
I’m guessing he said he was a step parent and they didn’t question him.
Who knows? Jenelle could have made him a guardian as soon as she got to Vegas for all we know. The fact that he had to wait until she left town to take Jace for medical treatment is something that he should have told the hospital staff, because they would have immediately notified CPS. Sorry, Calendar Boy, but you knew what she was all about by the time this incident happened and you did nothing to get those kids out of that neglectful household. I suggest you STFU, pay the bill and then make a call to CPS to report everything you saw and heard during your time with Chinderella.
It’s going to get worse and worse for her as the kids get older. I’m here for it
You now what? I believe him. Jenelle has always pushed her responsibilities off to anyone who would take them. Babs raised Jace BECAUSE Jenelle refused to take responsibility for him. If Jenelle was single for a full, consecutive year, I have no doubt that she would lose custody of her kids because she wouldn’t have anyone else around to take care of them
She will leave it to Jace to raise Kaiser and Ensley.
If that’s the way he feels, I hope he reported her to d.C f s
“She needs to step up as a mother and take care of her kids and stop expecting for everyone else to step up and play the parent,”
This ain’t news homey.
I will never understand why she continued to have kids after Jace. It makes zero sense
To trap their dads.
Ugh it’s like beating a dead horse at this point. We’ve all seen at least one episode of teen mom, we know she doesn’t take care of her kids. What happened to getting her arrested for throwing away mail? I’m all for screwing Chinelle , but ugh he’s awful too. Like all of her ‘soulmates’
If this is true then he needs to stop going to the media and contact the authories instead to help those children, they are both so immature and shouldn’t have access to children or pets
Homey needs to share the animal news.
Despite living in Las Vegas, I haven’t seen a single pic of Janelle in a casino. I wouldn’t doubt that she is barred from them. Las Vegas takes even minor offenses seriously as that is almost their whole economy.
She doesn’t seem like the casino type. She’s more of a “drink at home and take any drug she’s given” type.
The only one surprised by this is august
Which makes him the dumbest fuck alive! As a “manager”, wouldn’t you expect this shit? Assuming you did your research as a “manager”???
