BREAKING: A shocking family crisis has unfolded for former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, as her 16-year-old son Jace has been admitted to a mental health facility following a terrifying incident where he allegedly pulled a gun on his grandmother, Barbara Evans. Sources close to the family reveal this is the latest chapter in a long history of public struggles.
According to exclusive details obtained by TheEntBase, Jace not only threatened his grandmother but also put the firearm to his own head, vowing to end both their lives. The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office responded to a "troubled teen disturbance" call on February 22, highlighting the severity of the situation. Jenelle's representative confirms she is "still trying to find him the best facility to meet his needs," as she navigates this crisis from her home in Las Vegas.
This incident adds to Jenelle's tumultuous public life, which has been marred by controversies since her MTV debut on 16 and Pregnant in 2010. From her firing in 2019 after an alleged dog-related incident involving ex-husband David Eason to ongoing custody battles, the reality star's family drama continues to captivate and concern fans. Jace, shared with high school boyfriend Andrew Lewis, joins her other children—11-year-old Kaiser and 9-year-old Ensley—in a household that has faced intense scrutiny.
