Jenelle was fired from MTV back in 2019, while Debra left with Farrah a year prior.
SHE’S BACK?
Perhaps part of the reason fans are so shocked to see Jenelle back on the show is that she was rumored to be returning months ago.
The star appeared in a teaser for Teen Mom: The Next Chapter and got fans talking.
Jenelle addressed the chatter on social media, setting the record straight.
She took to both TikTok and Instagram to address the rumors, responding to a fan comment.
The Jenelle supporter asked: “Seen a preview for the new Teen Mom and you’re on it. I thought you were better than that and left them behind,” was inserted into the video.
Responding to the comment Jenelle replied, “Let me squash this rumor really quick because it’s going around everywhere [and] everyone is pretty confused.”
She continued, definitively stating, “No I will not be on Teen Mom: Next Chapter.”
“They [the show’s producers] asked me to go to the Teen Mom Reunion show recently, I said no–I declined.”
The former Teen Mom concluded, “I wish the girls the best and I hope they have fun, but I don’t think it was something that was meant for me.”
When addressing if she would ever return to the show, Jenelle answered “probably not” then explained, “I’d do my own thing and create my own show, maybe but I don’t want to be a part of a group or a clique anymore.”
The ex-MTV star provided ways for fans to watch her in the meantime, saying “If you guys want to for now keep up on Youtube…”
She then teased her Onlyfans account, whispering “and other than that I’ve been filming.”
Fans on TikTok quickly responded to Jenelle’s admission in the comment section.
One person commented: “MTV made you look like the villain…dude, I wouldn’t go back either. You gotta protect yourself & most importantly your kiddos.”
Another fan wrote, “We miss you! I love seeing your life here and on YouTube until then.”
A third commenter added enthusiastically: “YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW,” to which Jenelle responded, writing “Thanks girl! I’m working on a project as we speak.”
THE BACKLASH
MTV aired the episode featuring Jenelle not long after and faced tons of backlash over the decision.
In the episode, the mom of three joined Briana DeJesus and Jade Cline for a post-lawsuit party.
As soon as Jenelle arrived at the party, hosted at an AirBnB in Orlando, Twitter erupted with reactions.
While some were thrilled to see the controversial TV star back on their TVs, many thought the drama was too deep to overlook.
“MTV is f**ked up for having a racist and homophobe back,” one particularly angry critic commented.
Another wrote simply: “Jenelle? Hell nah.”
Others were focused on what appeared to be potential drama between Jenelle and Jade.
“So Jade was worried about Jenelle but is gonna do her hair?” one viewer tweeted.
Someone else simply focused on a silly comment from Jade, who made it clear she didn’t want any drama: “‘I got a straightener.'”
