'Teen Mom 2' Alum Jenelle Evans Gives Update On Canceled Partnership, Breaks Down In Tears: 'It Just Hurts My Feelings'
Jenelle Evans isn’t done speaking out after critics cost her an upcoming clothing line partnership.
The 29-year-old took to YouTube to share a video of herself that she titled, “Who #Cancelled Me?" after revealing a company had cut ties with her following a slew of complaints.
“As you can see my eyes are, I mean they're a little bit red but they're definitely puffy,” the TV personality began the video, posted on Saturday, November 13. “I've been crying for the past two days. Of course you all know, but yeah I was going to come out with some activewear and apparently it’s going to be cancelled.”
“I’m really upset because there’s a literal hate campaign against me,” Evans explained, sharing screengrabs of Reddit message boards and Facebook groups slamming the former reality star, noting the haters “basically just bring up my past.”
“I've been trying to be the best mom I can be, the best wife I can be and just living my life, trying to stay out of trouble, trying to do good things for my life, trying to change,” she continued, “and people are just preventing that from happening.”
Evans explained that she received a phone call from the company she was working with and advised that they were receiving an abundance of hate mail. After agreeing that Evans would instead do the collaboration in her name, she was later informed that the company decided not to continue on with their partnership at all.
“It just hurts my feelings,” the mom-of-three admitted, breaking down into tears. “It sucks that people are bringing up the past, nothing I did recently. It's always the past, no one gives me a chance to talk now, they just care about what was said in the past.”
“I've been trying so hard not to cry,” she admitted. “I've been trying so hard to stay strong … like, I've changed. I think I'm a great person. I think I deserve opportunities.”
Evans continued to thank her fans for their support, noting: "I know I'll get past this. I've been through worse things, but when someone hurts my feelings, it really hurts my feelings ... but I'll be OK."
As OK! previously reported, Evans came under fire after she slammed LeBron James for mocking Kyle Rittenhouse — who broke down in tears while on the stand during his trial — on Twitter.
Shortly after, she took to TikTok to share an emotional video with a message that read, "Haters contacted the company I was working with. So I decided to do my own website under my own name. Now SewSewYou company is telling everyone my line is canceled."
"Been crying all morning," Evans captioned the clip. "Sorry to let everyone down but the company SewSewYou has dropped and cancelled my clothing line due to haters 😞💔 #Heartbroken."
Evans starred on Teen Mom 2 from 2011 until 2019, when it was revealed that her husband David Eason — who she shares daughter Ensley, 4 — shot and killed her dog. The Read Between the Lines: From the Diary of a Teenage Mom author also shares 12-year-old son Jace, 12, with ex Andrew Lewis, and son Kaiser, 7, with ex Nathan Griffith.
