Jenelle Evans reveals a man tried to break into her North Carolina home this weekend: ‘Me and my kids are safe, but a little shaken’

Jenelle Evans got a big scare this weekend when a man tried to break into the home she shares with her three children.

The 32-year-old Teen Mom OG star revealed TMZ that she was the victim of an attempted burglary at her home in North Carolina.

The attempted burglary comes at a rather tumultuous time for Evans and her family, with her husband David Eason reportedly planning to file for divorce.

Evans told TMZ through her manager Austin Keen, “With everything going on, this couldn’t have happened at a worse time.”

“Me and my children are safe, but somewhat shocked the local community and the police are doing everything they can to ensure the arrest of this person,” she added.

The attempted burglary comes at a rather tumultuous time for Evans and her family, with her husband David Eason reportedly planning to file for divorce.

“I will soon reveal the details of what exactly happened that night,” she revealed in the statement.

“For now, we ask for prayers and privacy until I and my family recover from this terrifying experience. Thank you to everyone who is helping us catch this perpetrator,” Evans concluded.

The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office confirmed there was an attempted burglary at her home.

The Sheriff’s Office added that a deputy responded to Evans’ home for a call about a burglary, but the suspect had fled by the time he arrived.

The unknown person attempted to break into the back of the home, but was unable to gain entry.

He then entered Evans’ garage and began throwing some of her personal items from the garage onto her lawn.

The deputy reported that no items were missing from the home, although the lock on the back door where the man attempted to enter was damaged.

This comes after a report on Friday revealed that her husband David Eason is planning to file for divorce from Evans after she allegedly kicked him and his 16-year-old daughter Maryssa out of her home.

It also comes after Evans was reunited with her eldest son Jace, 14, who was removed from her home by Child Protective Services after Eason allegedly attacked Jace in September 2023.

“I have some good news and I’m kind of shaking with fear right now,” she began in the clip. ‘All allegations against me and my husband have been officially withdrawn’

Janelle said she will wait to share details of the case for now, emphasizing her priority on Jace’s mental well-being.

“I have some good news and I’m a little bit shaking with fear right now,” she began in the clip. “All allegations against me and my husband have been officially withdrawn.”

“I had no intention of sharing this information, I actually wanted to keep it private and just make a vague statement,” the MTV alum added. “But right now I have to keep the story under control.”

Janelle said she will wait to share details of the case for now, emphasizing her priority on Jace’s mental well-being.

“I would appreciate it if everyone respected my son’s privacy so he can get his mental health under control,” she said before adding that “someone is already leaking information.”

She said it was likely Jace’s father, Andrew Lewis, or her mother, Barbara Evans, because they are the “only two people who knew the information.”
