'Teen Mom 2' Ratings Reportedly Dropping After Jenelle Evans' Departure

Well, well, well. It looks like MTV might've needed Jenelle Evans more than the network realized. Reports are claiming that the current season of Teen Mom 2 is dropping in viewers, with many speculating that fans are missing their dose of drama that Jenelle and her controversial family brought to the screen.

According to The Ashley, Teen Mom 2 used to command a viewership of over one million people each week. But Season 9B, which now features Jenelle's replacement, Jade Cline, has decreased in numbers. According to statistics from Showbuzz Daily, the latest episode only garnered 784,000 viewers. This number is even a drop from the week before, which saw 787,000 people tuning in.

In fairness to the show, it did shift from airing on Monday nights to Tuesdays, as The Ashley points out, which could have something to do with the drop in viewers.

At this time, it hasn't been confirmed that MTV is considering bringing Jenelle back, although the mom-of-three has hinted at it. But after this season, who knows what'll happen?
