Jenelle Evans’ Son Jace, 16, Checks Into Mental Health Facility After Pulling Gun on Grandma
Jenelle Evans is asking for grace.
The Teen Mom alum issued a plea for privacy weeks after her son Jace Evans, 16, was placed in a mental health facility following an alleged incident involving his grandma Barbara Evans in February.
“I shouldn’t even be getting on here to say anything, but I feel like I have to,” Jenelle, 34, said in a video posted on TikTok March 28. “I feel like at this moment, it is imperative for my family to have their privacy.”
The reality star—who shares Jace with ex Andrew Lewis—also dismissed speculation that she was “doing nothing” amid the ordeal, noting that she had taken a step back from social media to focus on her son.
“Behind the scenes, I’m doing everything I can for my child, and I’m doing what’s in the best interest for him,” she continued, “and that’s none of your business to know.”
As such, Jenelle asked for observers—as well as extended relatives—to give her space as she navigates the personal matter.
