Earlier this week, Jenelle Evans stunned fans when she tweeted that hter husband, David Eason, had battled cancer.
It was the first time that Evans had mentioned Eason’s thyroidectomy and radation therapy, and many were confused as to why she waited so long.
After all, it’s not as though Jenelle is the quiet type.
Evans says she simply wanted to protect her husband’s privacy, but at least one person close to the situation thinks this is another case of Jenelle bending the truth to suit her needs…
The Easons
Jenelle and David have been through a lot in their relatively short time together. This week, in a fit of rage, Evans revealed that they’d kept one of their greatest struggles a secret.
The Wrath of Jenelle

We learned about David’s battle with cancer when Jenelle flipped out on a random Twitter troll. The user remarked that tall people like David have shorter life expectancies, and Jenelle just lost it …
The Big Sick
Jenelle slammed the remarks about David as insensitive “especially because he’s a cancer survivor.” Naturally, fans were to quick to ask for elaboration following this bombshell.
Calling BS
One fan who claimed to have insider knowledge of the situation insisted that Jenelle was lying. âÂÂHe didnâÂÂt have cancer!â the follower wrote. âÂÂLike women have preventative mastectomies because they have a family history.
A Fair Point…
“If [David] really was a cancer survivor donâÂÂt you think Jenelle wouldâÂÂve sold a million stories by now?â the fan concluded. Many fans agreed that Jenelle is not the type to keep something like this to herself.
Jenelle Claps Back
Jenelle was having none of this fan’s argument, and she offered up what she claimed was visual evidence that David has undergone life-saving cancer treatment.
A Solid Argument?
âÂÂUhm⦠he had a thyroidectomy, why do you think he has a scar across his throat?!” Jenelle argued. Of course, the fan wasn’t claiming that David never had his thyroid removed, just that he wasn’t diagnosed with cancer. But we digress.
Why So Secretive?
So why did Jenelle and David keep his diagnosis under wraps for so long? “He just doesnâÂÂt scream it out to everyone. ItâÂÂs scary for us to deal with,” Jenelle explained on Twitter.
Family Shade
Naturally, Jenelle had to seize the opportunity to talk some trash about David’s family. âÂÂSure⦠he had radiation therapy, of course none of his family was there helping him either going through this. If you only knew the truth,” she told fans.
Jenelle vs. Jessica
This, of course, is not the first time that Jenelle has ran afoul of David’s sister, Jessica Eason Miller.
A Spat Between Sisters-in-Law
Earlier this year, Jenelle became angry upon learning that Jessica still spends time with David’s first baby mama, Olivia Leedham.
The Feud Is On!

Jenelle may have met her match in Jessica, who responded to her social media shade with an epic retort…
#NotTheShotCaller
“The insults only make me lmao.. You are farrrrrrr from the boss in this area code baby girl.. This isnâÂÂt MTV sweetie.. And Youre nobody around here #nottheshotcaller,” Jessica wrote.
It’s On
Jessica chimed in on Jenelle’s latest claims about David’s health, and she certainly did not mince words. She didn’t confirm or deny that David had cancer, but she says Jenelle’s account of of his health troubles is almost entirely BS.
Pass It Along
Jessica is apparently blocked by Jenelle, but she asked fans to pass along the following message: “Tell that dumb bâÂÂch that I said in 2013 when David got his surgery she didnâÂÂt even know him and he was with his family. us .. his real family”
Like Twizzlers?!

“She was out spreading her legs like fâÂÂking Twizzlers making babies to make money. We were a real family,” Jessica added. “His family has always been there for him and through all of that.â Tell us what ya really think, Jess!
Jenelle to the Burn Unit

âÂÂItâÂÂs pathetic how jealous she is just because she doesnâÂÂt have any family and all her family hates her. Well guess what all my family hates her too and thatâÂÂs why she doesnâÂÂt want David to have family because then sheâÂÂll be a lonely little ugly bâÂÂch,” Jessica went on.
Mama Eason to the Rescue?
“It must be nice to have my mama raising her kids so that she can go out and party every weekend and all week long While She lays on her lazy ass doing nothing,â Jessica concluded, echoing a common criticism made by fans. Jenelle has yet to respond to her sister-in-law’s tirade, but you can bet that when she does …
It. Will. Be. Epic.
Jenelle’s not the type to take this sort of thing lying down. She’s being accused of lying about her husband’s cancer and mistreating his family. We’re guessing she’s currently just biding her time and crafting the perfect response. Natrually, we can’t wait for the day when she returns fire.
