Jenelle Evans was not happy when the charges she filed against her estranged ex, David Eason, were dropped in court last week, and after she caught a gander of tweets posted by David’s girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole after the hearing, the fired Teen Mom star lashed out, calling out David and Kenleigh for their parts in the October 2024 attempted heist on Jenelle’s North Carolina property The Land.
In response, Kenleigh fired off her own angry tweets, while also telling ‘Teen Mom’ fans how she feels about David’s pending criminal cases, lack of relationships with his kids and more!
As The Ashley previously reported, David, Kenleigh and others came onto The Land in October. After breaking through the property’s gate, David removed a security camera and tried to take tools, equipment, and motor vehicles from The Land. David— who currently has a protective order against him from Jenelle and is, therefore, not allowed on The Land— was actually escorted by a cop, who was told he was there to supervise as David retrieved his property from the shed. The cop authorized David & Co. to be on The Land, until Jenelle caught wind of what was happening and called the Sherriff, who then ordered the cop on The Land to stop David.
David was later arrested for his visit to The Land, with Jenelle claiming it violated the protective order she has against him. The District Attorney disagreed last week, however, and dismissed the violation charges against David.
“Finally some good news today,” Kenleigh tweeted on X on Friday after the charges were dismissed.
When questioned by someone on X, Kenleigh explained her feelings on the situation, stating that David tried to keep things legal on the night in question.
“It’s not about things not going someone’s way it’s about the truth,” she wrote. “He went about it the right way and got burned anyways. I hoped the judicial system would find out the truth and do what’s right.”
Jenelle did not appreciate Kenleigh’s statements, and lashed out at her on X.
“‘He went about it the right way and got burned for it anyways,’ Ask David who owns the truck, dirt bikes, 4 wheeler, tools. etc,” wrote Jenelle. “He shouldn’t have been at my house to begin with. There was a No Contact Order he lied about to police to get his way. He cut my lock on my gate.”
She then addressed Kenleigh.
“For you to sit there as his gf and act like he’s an angel is unbelievable,” Jenelle wrote. “Everyone has flaws and he has many. That was my children’s toys he was trying to take to pawn for money, and you were an accomplice… He brought some bitch to my property I never met in my life and had no permission to be on my property. David already came and got his ‘belongings’ twice before a third time trying again. He acts entitled to everything but really none of it is his.”
Kenleigh hit X again on Monday to defend her man, and explain their reasoning behind the attempt to snag stuff from The Land. When one X user accused her and David of being “sneaky” by doing the heist attempt at night, Kenleigh disagreed.
“Again, another lie, we were near the property in broad daylight, called the police escort in daylight and had to wait two hours by then it was dark,” she wrote, adding that David was authorized by the on-site deputy to cut Jenelle’s lock.
“The police told him to cut the lock but after all said & done, he did get his tools back, which he needed,” Kenleigh wrote. “He did not get his bike back and it should’ve been handled in court you’re right. I agree. There’s a lot of fabrication and assumptions [about] what actually happened & why.”
She added that Jenelle’s statement about David stealing her kids’ toys was false.
“We didn’t try to take any toys, fabrication at its finest,” Kenleigh wrote.
Kenleigh also clarified her thoughts on David’s pending criminal charges for “Assault by Strangulation” and Child Abuse for a 2023 incident involving Jenelle’s eldest son Jace.
“If you’re asking me who I believe, I believe [David],” she said. “Especially when MY name is all over the Internet being lied about constantly. I wouldn’t be with someone who I thought was capable of doing that. But opinions don’t matter in a courthouse. Innocent until proven guilty.”
When one X user asked her how she can be with a man who has been charged with abusing “every woman he was with as well as animals and children,” Kenleigh argued that what the public saw on TV isn’t the truth.
“Reality TV isn’t actual reality in my opinion. Drama and bad press = money,” she responded. “Not saying he’s perfect but I think there was a lot of fabrication and he has owned up to things in private to me.”
Kenleigh did, however, admit that David’s past scared her a little, but stated “that’s why you are friends first” before dating.
When asked how she feels about the fact that David is only in communication with one of his three kids (Maryssa), she pointed to David’s lack of funds and lack of willing baby mamas as the reasons. (As fans know, David shares daughter Ensley with Jenelle but has not seen or spoken to Ensley since February of 2024. David has had little to no relationship with his son, Kaden— whom he shares with Olivia Leedham— due to him being charged with domestic violence against Olivia while she was pregnant with Kaden.)
“It’s not that simple. You have to have money to obtain lawyers,” Kenleigh said when one X user stated that David hasn’t made much of an attempt to contact Ensley or Kaden. “He’s working on building his life back and making money to do what he can for his kids. Starting from pretty much nothing is pretty difficult but he’s taking necessary steps to do that.
“…He has tried to reach out to his son in fact he has a daily reminder to call him and his mom doesn’t answer,” she replied to someone else regarding Kaden.
“I’m not saying he’s perfect or his past is spotless,” Kenleigh said.
She then explained why David didn’t fight for custody of Ensley last year.
“But he missed custody court cause they never sent him a subpoena,” Kenleigh insisted. “And they’re supposed to call you and they never did. Columbus County and surrounding areas (in my experience) administration offices suck.”
Finally, Kenleigh shut down the rumor that she is helping David pay for his attorneys in his criminal cases. (As The Ashley reported, David has obtained a public defender to handle his criminal case involving Jace, but has a private lawyer for the restraining order case with Jenelle.)
According to Kenleigh, she is not shelling out cash for the lawyer for David.
“For the record: I don’t pay for his lawyers, y’all can quit with that. He has a public defender and another contingent attorney. I would never pay for someone else’s choices and/or consequences.”
Jenelle has yet to respond to Kenleigh’s latest statements.

She needs to hear the recording of David talking ( words) to Maryssa after their CPS case got dismissed.
Kenleigh we are not getting our information from reality tv. We have gotten our information from court documents and law enforcement. Also David & Jenelle because they are stupid enough to film their illegal escapades and post it to SM.
You know Elvis head in a trash can surrounded by beer cans. Towing a elderly disabled man’s truck backwards. Putting several spikes through a snakes head while alive to torture him. Pistol whipping a guy in front of Kaiser and Ensley. Milking a dead deers teets on SM. Shooting baby chicks and strangling and beating Nugget in front of the kids. There is plenty more. And no I don’t think Jenelle is innocent she’s a female David. And in my opinion she is worse because she either encouraged his behavior but we do know she didn’t stop it. David did feed and take the kids to school more than their on mother has. Even animals are better moms than Jenelle. And any of her kids biological fathers need to get their shit together for their kids. Because the way it’s going their futures are dim.
The common denominator in Jenelle abusive relationships are Jenelle.
Throwing a fit about David having Kenleigh on the swamp but she has been leaving her kids with strangers or Jace is the sitter for weeks at a time. She had her recent solemate on the land for at least 3 weeks and David has never met this man. See how that works Jenelle? I hope Jenelle ends up owing alimony and child support in the end. Because her kids are pawns to her. I actually think Kenleigh could be a good influence on Ensley and Kaiser needs to go to Dorris. Sadly Jace will be on his own with Jenelle. I hate that Jenelle has me defending David.
I am in no way defending Janelle bc pot meet kettle.. But how does this girl know that reality tv isn’t real tv?! I don’t recall seeing her on any reality tv shows.. And how stupid do you truly have to be to dismiss years of patterns of abuse documented thru the courts & on tv.. the fact this male has no contact with one child & the other he hasn’t cared to have contact with.. All bc YOU BELIEVE THE DOCUMENTED LIAR?! What the actual fk are you talking about?! Be as stupid as you want to be behind closed doors, that’s on you, but don’t go making them bold statements publicly.. while defending the guy that, as history has proven, will do the same to you before it’s all said and done. How old is she again?! Gotta be young, dumb & full of … shit!

“He does nothing wrong as a husband!” -Jenelle back in the day doing exactly what she’s so shocked Kenleigh is doing now.
She does sound exactly like Jenelle used to!!! Always stuck up for David against her kids.
Kinsleigh learned a new word today, ‘fabrication’. Good for her.
He’s trying to ‘rebuild’ his life and started out with nothing. My dear, you really need to understand that nobody falls in love quicker than a narcissist needing a place to stay.
Jenelle, shut all the way the fuck up. You are legit the stupidest cunt I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Quote me.
I would like to know how long they were friends before becoming BF & GF less than a week is my guess.
David has a daily reminder to call his son? Lol who needs a reminder to call their own son?? Only a deadbeat doing it for his newest girlfriend.
She needs David to put his hands on her to believe all the other women and children who accused him of violent behavior and that will happen sooner than later
I’m guessing it’s because it’s during a specific time alarm. I’m saying that because D & J bitched one time he was late and Olivia wouldn’t answer the phone. Honestly I would not answer my phone either. Especially since Kaden doesn’t really know him at all. He was around him maybe a couple of months win he won seeing him and then Jenelle drunken misunderstanding happened while he was there.
“For you to sit there as his gf and act like he’s an angel is unbelievable” – says the woman that did that herself for literal years. Never forget when Jenelle said he does nothing wrong as a husband and stood by his side after allegedly abusing at least two of her children. They’re all trash.
