AceShowbiz - Jenelle Evans has left the "Teen Mom" family for good. Management for the "Teen Mom 2" alum confirmed to TMZ that she will not return to the show's spin-off, "Teen Mom: The Next Chapter".
Jenelle's manager, August Keen, told the outlet that the decision was made after both sides "could not reach an agreement on a contract." August also noted that MTV wanted to sign the reality star to an exclusive deal, but it "would have limited other career opportunities for" her.
Though so, Jenelle doesn't completely abandon reality TV shows. It was unveiled that she "has a new dynamic series in development, keeping the concept under wraps for now." The upcoming show itself reportedly will be picked up by a "major network."
Jenelle was fired from "Teen Mom 2" after her husband David Eason made headlines for shooting and killing their French bulldog, Nugget, in April 2019. Previously, Jenelle revealed that she was offered an "open contract." An insider added, "I contacted our old producer and asked, and he said you guys just have an open contract right now, and that no doors have been closed."
The news arrived shortly after Jenelle's former co-star, Leah Messer, declared that she would love to welcome the former back to the show. "I think that I’m eager to see where she’s at in her life and whatever ultimately the executives decide is what they decide. I wish her the very best," she told Page Six.
Leah, however, admitted that she doesn't have a relationship with Jenner following the latter's firing. "I haven't talked to Jenelle in a very long time. She was one of the original cast [members] of the show. And I knew her very well in that time," she shared. "I don't know [her] currently. Right now, I don't have a relationship with her, honestly."
