In yet another shocking twist from one of the most controversial stars of Teen Mom, Jenelle Evans has reportedly called the police on her own teenage son, Jace. The explosive incident, which unfolded just days after what fans hoped was a period of calm in the troubled mother-son relationship, has left viewers reeling — and social media ablaze.
Sources close to the family say the situation reached a boiling point late Thursday night, when Jenelle allegedly dialed 911 following a heated altercation with 14-year-old Jace. Though details remain scarce, initial reports suggest that Jenelle felt “threatened” and claimed she had “no other choice” but to involve authorities.
The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that officers were dispatched to Jenelle’s North Carolina home after receiving a distress call. “We responded to a domestic disturbance involving a juvenile,” a spokesperson for the department stated. “No arrests were made, but a report was filed, and Child Protective Services has been notified.”
This incident marks yet another troubling chapter in the ongoing saga between Jenelle and her son, who has been in and out of her custody over the years. Longtime Teen Mom fans will recall that Jenelle’s mother, Barbara Evans, had custody of Jace for over a decade — until Jenelle regained legal guardianship in 2023. At the time, she celebrated the reunion as a turning point, gushing on Instagram about a “fresh start” and a “new beginning” for their fractured family.
But the optimism was short-lived. Over the past year, reports of Jace running away, behavioral issues, and frequent arguments at home have painted a very different picture behind closed doors. Just last fall, Jace was reported missing — not once, but three times — prompting widespread concern and a brief investigation by child welfare services.
Critics have long questioned whether Jenelle is equipped to care for Jace, citing her rocky history with substance use, tumultuous relationships, and a long list of legal entanglements. And while Jenelle has fiercely defended herself in the past, claiming she’s “doing her best” and that “everyone makes mistakes,” many fans believe this latest incident could be the final straw.
In a cryptic statement posted to her Instagram story early Friday morning, Jenelle wrote, “You try your hardest, and it’s never enough. Pray for my family. 🙏💔” The post was deleted just hours later.
As the Teen Mom fandom weighs in — with some showing compassion and others voicing outrage — one thing is clear: this family is in crisis. And while MTV has yet to comment on whether this new drama will be featured in future episodes, the cameras are reportedly still rolling.
Whether this moment becomes another chapter in the rollercoaster of Jenelle’s life or the beginning of a more serious legal battle remains to be seen. For now, all eyes are on the Evans household — and on Jace, a teenager caught in the crossfire of fame, dysfunction, and heartbreak.
