Teen Mom Jenelle Evans’ friend fears ‘something bad will happen’ to her or the kids as she takes back David after arrest
FORMER Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans’ friend fears for the safety of her and her children after she took back her husband, David Eason, following his assault arrest.
Jenelle’s friend James Spivey, who accused David of hitting him with a gun, exclusively told The Sun his fears for the former Teen Mom 2 star after she returned home to her husband.
James said: “I feel like something bad is going to happen.
“Someone is going to get hurt on that property.”
David, 31, was arrested on June 12 for assault with a deadly weapon and communicating threats when Jenelle, James and his partner, Josh, went to their North Carolina home to obtain her belongings following a week of arguing.
The arrest warrant obtained by The Sun claimed David “did assault” James “with a deadly weapon, a Springfield handgun, by hitting James Spivey in the back of the neck and on his back with the handgun.”
David allegedly threatened to “blow” James’ “f**king brains out,” according to the warrant.
James previously told The Sun that Jenelle, 28, returned to their North Carolina home and did not file a restraining order against David despite vowing to do so.
He said: “She’s claiming she’s with relatives, but it’s the opposite. She’s staying at the property. They’re back together.
“She made it very clear she doesn’t want to be alone. She doesn’t want to live on the property alone.”
He continued: “She hasn’t filed the restraining order. On Friday, she had the paperwork for the restraining order, but did not file it on Monday like she said.
“When she reached out to me and Josh, she said she had to get out of the relationship. She said she was filing a restraining order, but she didn’t do it.”
A source previously gave more details on the physical fight.
The source alleged: “She was scared to go alone and she needed help to get her kids and belongings.
“When David came out of the bedroom, he was in a towel. He went back in the room and came out with blue jean shorts and a pistol.”
The source continued: “David told him he wanted to ‘f**k him up.’ He then shoved him in the chest and he landed on his lower back.”
James, who is disabled and has lumbar issues, then allegedly grabbed a coat rack and used it as a shield against David, who was holding the gun.
The insider alleged: “He just used it as a shield. He did not shove him. He was defending himself.”
David later filed a criminal summons against James for pushing him into a coat rack, though the source claimed the charges were “retaliation” against James and “not true.”
The insider also claimed their daughter Ensley, 3, her son Kaiser, 5, and his daughter Maryssa, 12, witnessed the physical altercation.
The source said: “The kids witnessed the altercation, they were crying. They saw David hit James with the gun. When he hit him in the back, if that gun went off, his kids would’ve been in jeopardy. The kids would’ve been dead.
“CPS needs to be involved. The kids need to be protected.”
The charges came after a week of fighting for Jenelle and David, as he claimed she “deserted” him for her friend.
In October 2019, Jenelle, who is also mom to son Jace, 10, split from David and moved to Nashville with Ensley and Kaiser.
Jenelle filed a temporary restraining order request against David, alleging 11 incidents of abuse.
She wrote in the restraining order: “Because of his recent threats, his history of violence, his erratic behavior and his large stockpile of weapons, I am scared for my life and my children’s well-being.”
In one alleged incident of abuse, she wrote: “I took a video of David locking my car door with the car running and my son, Kaiser, inside the car. He did this because he was angry with me. I had to tell Kaiser to unlock the car.
While Kaiser was trying to unlock it, David continuously locked it again with my spare key, scaring both me and Kaiser.”

But she dropped the order and moved back into their home earlier this year.
Jenelle was fired from Teen Mom 2 in May 2019 when David admitted to shooting and killing the family’s French bulldog for nipping at Ensley.
Child Protective Services also temporarily removed their children from their care.
