'Teen Mom' Fans React After Jenelle Evans Charges $75 Monthly for 'Exclusive' Membership on Her Website
It looks like Jenelle Evans is hopping on the bandwagon of celebrities charging their fans for social media content. In a recent tweet, the former Teen Mom 2 star announced the launch of her new website, Jenelle's World, with multiple subscription tiers for people willing to pay for a behind-the-scenes look at the former reality star's life. Fans of the long-running MTV franchise will recall that Jenelle was fired after her husband David Eason murdered her French bulldog last year. It looks like the mom-of-three is trying to give fans a way to interact with her following her dismissal from MTV, but no entertainment comes without a price.
“LETS GOOOO!,” the star began her Jenelle’s World announcement. “Ever wanted to connect with me on a personal level?! Want to see what I’m REALLY up to these days? I just launched my new site Jenelle’s World! Sign up for exclusive EVERYTHING! Get rid of the haters and only want to hear from my true fans! See ya there!"
The description on her website touts that Jenelle's World will provide fans with never-before-seen footage and photos. However, the Instagram account @TeenMomShadeRoom_ shed some light on the matter by showing that access to Jenelle's website starts at $75 per month. Incentive includes monthly giveaways, a discount on merchandise, access to exclusive podcasts and blog posts, as well as monthly private sessions with Jenelle herself.
I don't know about you, but $75 every month seems like a hefty price to pay to chat with Jenelle when there's literally hundreds of hours of Teen Mom footage of her to watch for free instead.
"Is this a joke?," one person commented on the post. "Why would I spend 75 dollars to witness child and animal endangerment??," said another, with someone else hilariously noting, "I pay less for my cable." Other fans theorize that the website is Jenelle's attempt to make money after she was fired from Teen Mom 2.
If you want to pay $900 a year to interact with Jenelle, be my guest. I, however, will stick to watching hilarious compilations of Jenelle's mom Barbara roasting her on YouTube.
