Just about everyone who’s ever appeared on MTV’s flagship reality franchise has complained about Teen Mom ‘s editing department at one time or another.
But as is the case in so many areas of human experience, no one has ever taken it quite as far as Jenelle Evans.
Jenelle flipped out after watching this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2 , and the Carolina Hurricane now says she’s officially done with the show that made her famous.
It’s not the first time she’s threatened to quit, but it looks like it may be the last.
Check out our complete breakdown of Jenelle’s latest feud with MTV below:
The Troubled Couple Jenelle’s main issue these days seems to be that she doesn’t like the way her relatonship with David Eason is being portrayed.
What’s a Little Verbal Abuse Amongst Spouses? “Yes, me and David have our ups and downs but yesterday’s episode was uncalled for,” Jenelle explained on Instagram. We haven’t seem many ups, but the camera’s captured plenty of downs!
No Weird-Ass Sh-t Here! “Because David didn’t feel like explaining another argument or drama on camera they make it look as if David is hiding some weird ass sh-t from the public as if he was hurting me in some way?!”Jenelle continued.
Jenelle’s Bombshell “I have decided after this season I’m probably calling it quits for filming this show,” Evans added, leading many fans to believe she’s really done with TM2.
MTV to Jenelle: Not So Fast… To the surprise of absolutely no one, MTV’s legal department anticipates erratic behavior from stars like Jenelle and draws up contracts that prevent them from leaving production staff in a lurch.
A Supersized Season of Teen Mom 2: Headed Your Way! (MTV) Get ready for the confusingly-titled Teen Mom 2 Season 8B. MTV says an extension of the show’s current season is already in the works … whether Jenelle likes it or not.

MTV to Jenelle: See You In Court! (Getty) If Jenelle continues to refuse to film, she’ll be in violation of an iron-clad contract. It seems an elite team of lawyers might be slightly more savvy than she is when it comes to the law. Go figure!
The Tantrum Continues After firing off a bunch of tweets about how she and MTV are “done,” Jenelle deleted her Twitter account.
Playing the Victim Jenelle is pretending to be blindsided by the request for additional episodes, but there’s nothing new about any of this…
B Seasons Are Nothing New (Getty) “MTV has done this for several of the previous seasons,” a source tells The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, adding, “Some of the cast members are already filming for Season 8B, even if they don’t know it yet.”
Why Not Just Call It Season 9? (MTV) MTV reserves the right to “extend” individual seasons precisely for situations like this. At the end of Season 7, for example, Adam Lind threatened to quit the show, but was obligated to shoot more episodes in order to fulfill his contract.
Jenelle: I Am Not an Animal! “They treat all of us as if we are in a freak show and in cages. WE aren’t human beings to @mtv what-so-ever,” Jenelle recently wrote, sounding as though she’s rehearsing for her one-woman show, The Jenelle-ephant Woman.
A Casual Threat Jenelle concluded her lengthy Instagram rant with a direct threat to quit the show for good:” Once they treat me with respect I’ll be back, if they don’t I’ll be happy with the life I’ve got. I told them this last night. #MarriedLife #MIA,” she wrote.
So What’s REALLY Going On Here? Jenelle has been portrayed in an unflattering manner pretty much from the start of the series, and she’s made it remarkably easy to do so.
Married Life: Not All It’s Cracked Up to Be? Some fans believe Jenelle’s marriage is already crumbling, and the Carolina Hurricane doesn’t want yet another failed relationship to be documented by an MTV camera crew.
The Battle Has Just Begun Whatever her reason for wanting to cut ties with MTV, the network certainly won’t give up without a fight. Jenelle may be in for the legal battle of her life.
She’s Got a Lot on Her Plate Already With three kids and now one stepdaughter, does Evans really need another big fight on her hands?
