Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans is moving away from North Carolina, but she isn’t leaving all of the drama behind. Shortly after a story about her move appeared in the press, she took to social media to lambast her mother.

Jenelle Evans insists that her mother, Barbara Evans, is sharing stories with news outlets for a payday. Still, Barbara Evans has been, at least publicly, eerily quiet during Evans’ return to the reality TV world. Teen Mom fans are urging Evans to share the “proof” she claims to have or to stop dragging her mother on social media.

Jenelle Evans slams her mother; claims Barbara Evans is selling fake stories

Earlier this week, the U.S. Sun spoke with an insider who claims Jace Evans, Jenelle Evans’ eldest child, is unhappy with his upcoming move from North Carolina to Las Vegas. The insider, who was not named, said the teen was looking forward to spending time with his childhood friends and finding some stability after spending months in the care of CPS. Now that has been ripped away from him, and he’s allegedly angry.

Within hours of the story being shared online, Evans took to social media to lambast her mother despite the septuagenarian not being named in the story. In the brutal social media attack, Evans claims her mother has spent years selling stories about her. In the upload, she calls her mother greedy and claims she doesn’t interact with the kids, including Jace. She also says her mother is constantly looking for a payday.

Jenelle Evans’ desire to drag her mother on social media isn’t doing her image any favors. While Evans herself is a divisive Teen Mom character, her mother is largely liked by fans of the franchise. Barbara Evans was tasked with raising Jace for most of his young life. Fans of the series have long empathized with the beleaguered grandmother.

Fans want Jenelle Evans to provide proof or leave Barbara alone

Jenelle Evans’ most recent social media rant is far from the first time she has accused her mother of selling stories about her to the press. In fact, nearly every time a negative story about the controversial reality TV personality is published, she assumes her mother is behind it. Several times over the years, Evans has claimed to have proof that her mother is going behind her back. She’s even said she had evidence and would be “exposing” her mother soon.
