EXCLUSIVE: Teen Mom Jenelle Evans Embroiled in Heated Text Exchange with 16-Year-Old Son Jace

The drama is real, folks! In a shocking turn of events, Jenelle Evans, star of MTV's Teen Mom 2, has found herself at the center of a very public feud with her eldest son, Jace. The 16-year-old took to Instagram to share a scathing text exchange between him and his mom, accusing Jenelle of being "crazy" and implying that she's been emotionally abusing him.

The drama went down on Tuesday when Jace posted the incriminating texts for all to see, racking up over 41,000 views in just hours. The Teen Mom alum, 33, has been dealing with her fair share of family woes lately, but this latest development is sure to raise eyebrows everywhere.

According to sources close to the situation, Jace and his mom have been at odds for a while now. Jenelle's responded to the backlash on Instagram Stories, claiming that she's been trying to set boundaries and rules for Jace as he navigates his teenage years. However, her attempts at discipline have apparently fallen flat with her eldest son.

"I'm finally putting out how my mother really is," Jace tweeted alongside the text exchange, leaving no doubt about the tension between them. The texts themselves are nothing short of explosive, with Jace accusing Jenelle of being "crazy" and trying to manipulate him into doing what she wants.

In one particularly cringe-worthy message, Jenelle responds to Jace's claims by saying, "[You're] the one saying you're going to have my custody taken. F* YOU." Ouch! The texts also touch on a sensitive topic: Jace's ex-stepdad David Eason. According to Jace, Eason tried to physically assault him, which Jenelle has denied in the past.

Jenelle on Tuesday posted a lengthy response via Instagram Stories in which she said that it's been challenging parenting her first-born child as he deals with health and legal issues

The 16 and Pregnant alum shot back at her son, claiming that he's been lying about Eason's behavior. However, sources close to the family have corroborated Jace's account, saying that David did indeed try to strangle his stepson on one occasion.

Jenelle took to Instagram Stories to address the situation in a lengthy post, imploring fans to "have empathy and kindness" for their family during this difficult time. She acknowledged that parenting can be tough, especially when dealing with teenage angst and health issues.

"My children are my whole world," Jenelle said, her words dripping with emotion. "And everything I do is to try to protect, guide and love them. Like any parent, I set rules and boundaries...and sometimes that isn't easy."

The reality TV star went on to explain that she's been trying to help Jace navigate his medical conditions and recent run-ins with the law. However, it seems like their relationship has hit a rough patch.

"Jace posting our private texts was his reaction to being rightfully disciplined," Jenelle wrote, hinting at the tension between them. "While it hurts to see those moments shared publicly, I know it comes from a place of struggle."

In her post, Jenelle also mentioned that she's been working tirelessly to ensure Jace has access to the resources and support he needs. However, she acknowledged that navigating his different medical conditions hasn't been easy.
