Jenelle Evans Claps Back After Son Jace Leaks Explosive Texts

The Evans family drama just hit another boiling point. Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans is speaking out after her 16-year-old son, Jace Vahn Evans, blasted her on social media, exposing their private text messages and accusing her of being “unstable.”

On August 19, Jace shocked fans by dropping screenshots of fiery text exchanges with his mom. In one message, Jenelle allegedly snapped back at her son with a raw “FU*K YOU” after he threatened to challenge her custody. In another, Jace claimed Jenelle was yelling and cussing at him, writing, “Ok nice yea u were standing there yelling in my face cussing me out just watching things happen.”

Jace didn’t stop there—he added fuel to the fire by captioning one screenshot with:
“i need to go back to nc she is just rlly unstable.”

Jenelle’s Side of the Story

Hours later, Jenelle clapped back with a lengthy Instagram story. The 33-year-old reality star insisted that the leaked texts came out of frustration after she disciplined her son.

“My children are my whole world. Everything I do is to protect, guide, and love them… Jace posting our private texts was his reaction to being rightfully disciplined,” she wrote.

Jenelle went on to explain that Jace has been facing multiple medical diagnoses and recent legal troubles, which have made parenting even more difficult.

“I’ve been trying everything to help him navigate it but we are butting heads in the process. Please give us grace at this time, this is hard on all of us. 😢💔🙏”

A Family Under Pressure

This isn’t the first time the Evans household has been in chaos. Fans of Teen Mom know Jenelle’s family history is complicated. Jace, now 16, is from her relationship with Andrew Lewis. She also shares son Kaiser with ex Nathan Griffith, and daughter Ensley with her husband David Eason—who has often been at the center of controversy himself.

Still, Jenelle insists she won’t give up on Jace: “I have never stopped fighting to make sure he has the resources, love, and support he needs,” she said.

For now, Jace has gone quiet after posting the texts, leaving fans buzzing with speculation about what comes next for this messy mother-son showdown.
