Former 'Teen Mom' Star Jenelle Evans Accused Of Drinking Alcohol Every Day Following Controversial TikTok
Former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans came under fire when she posted a seemingly harmless TikTok that quickly turned controversial.
The video featured the MTV star dressed casually in a black tee and matching black baseball cap with an alcoholic beverage in hand as she showed off her grilling skills to the camera, but it wasn't the barbeque chicken that caught her followers' attention.
Evans — who was diagnosed with a spinal cord disorder called syringomyelia that could one day lead to paralysis — has been talking about her recent health concerns on her social media. Not only does she suffer from headaches and back pain related to her diagnosis, but she is also struggling with anxiety and heart palpitations.
"I go in and out of nauseousness. I go in and out of anxiety," she addressed some of her symptoms in a YouTube video. "I feel like I have heart palpitations. I don't know what's going on with me, but it's taking everything in my power just to like edit videos and look at the computer screen, and then it's like I have to lay back down."
She continued, "I get up. I have to lay back down. I get up. I try again, and then like right now. My head hurts."
Considering all of her recent health issues, her fans were quick to call out the television personality on her allegedly excessive drinking. One commented bluntly, "Don’t drink alcohol. No wonder you aren’t getting better."
Another replied, "It seems like you drink every. single. Day!!! It can’t be good for your health problems."
Though Evans received considerable criticism from some of her followers, others were eager to show support for the reality show alum.
One user rushed to her defense commenting, "Why can't people leave you alone though? We're all grown adults and make our own decisions, right?"
A second commenter assured her, "You got haters, you know what that means...you're doing it right! Carry on!" punctuating the words of support with a winking emoji.
Evans finally chimed in herself, claiming that the video was not taken recently. "This is a draft from 2 weeks ago," the teen mom said, seemingly unamused by the running commentary on her drinking habits, "but yeah sure carry on."
