Teen Mom’s Jenelle Evans Cries After Losing Clothing Line Following Twitter Argument With LeBron James Over Kyle Rittenhouse Trial
Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans has found herself in hot water with fans and potential work opportunities following comments she made in support of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The television personality first sparked attention when she commented on a tweet made by basketball star, LeBron James.
The Space Jam star took to Twitter to reply to a video of the 18-year-old homicide suspect crying on the stand this past week as he represented himself in court.
"What tears????? I didn’t see one," James wrote, referring to the widely publicized video in which many believe Rittenhouse is dramatically pretending to cry. "Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court."
Evans immediately shot back at the professional athlete in the replies, scolding him for his mocking words. "Next time there’s grown adults making fun of your kids.. don’t try and defend them when you act the same way," the reality star wrote via Twitter.
But she wasn't finished yet! Next, the tv star took shots at his acting career. "My kids watched Space Jam and looked up to you. Now I know what type of person you are," she continued.

It didn't take long for fans to slam the former Teen Mom in the comments, pointing out the fact that she is defending a now-legal adult who is on trial for shooting 3 people with a weapon he wasn't legally allowed to possess at the time.
When one user replied, "he don't care" referring to James, Evans clapped back with "my fans will," then added, "I'm almost at 3 million on IG and Tik Tok and over 1 million on here and Facebook so idk what fans?!" followed by a laugh emoji.
Now, it looks like her inflammatory comments may be coming back to bite.
The reality personality announced on her various social media platforms — including a TikTok video of herself with tears streaming down her face — that her upcoming clothing line partnership is a no-go.
"Been crying all morning. Sorry to let everyone down but the company SewSewYou has dropped and cancelled my clothing line due to haters 😞💔 #Heartbroken."
Evans later confirmed she is planning to move forward with the clothing venture without her partners at SewSewYou, and will be making her own website.
