Jenelle Evans Admits to Drinking 'Way Too Much' After Her Split From David Eason

Fans might not always agree with Jenelle Evans' choices, but they've got to give her credit for her honesty. In a new livestream video on Instagram, she detailed her past struggles with over-drinking.

The former Teen Mom 2 star split with David Eason in Oct. 2019, and she now admits she fell into a dark place soon after. "Yeah, when I was in Tennessee, I thought it was going to be a new start for me, and I even shared it with my fans," she began in a video captured by the Instagram account @TeenMomShadeRoom_.

"Then, I slowly got depressed. I would drink way too much," the mom-of-three continued. "Honestly, the kids would go to sleep and I would start drinking beer, and it was kind of a way for me to relieve stress, but I noticed I was drinking too much beer at night, and then I started missing David."

Jenelle also used the video to defend her decision to get back together with David. Fans have criticized her to no end for her choice, but the North Carolina native insists it was for the best. "Then the kids also, they didn't like the change. They didn't like moving to a small apartment. They were like, 'Where's my room? Where are all the animals?,'" she recalled. By March 2020, the pair were officially and very publicly back on, just months after their split.

Fans might not be on board with her decision, but it's nice to hear Jenelle is in a healthier place at the moment.
