Teen Mom Jenelle Evans slams Maci Bookout for shocking claims about her daughter Ensley, 5, in new post
TEEN Mom Jenelle Evans has slammed Maci Bookout for shocking claims about her daughter Ensley, five, in a new post.
Recently, Jenelle, 30, was accused of bad parenting by fans when they spot an “odd” detail on her daughter’s face.
The Teen Mom 2 alum took to her Instagram Stories to fire back at a claim that Ensley was missing.
Jenelle reshared the post from Maci Bookout’s “Official Fan Page” account.
The original post shows a photo of the North Carolina native holding her five-year-old daughter along with the headline, “#BreakingNews Jenelle’s daughter Ensley MISSING!!!”.
It’s unclear whether Jenelle didn’t know, or just didn’t care, that the post was shared from a fan account and not Maci’s personal Facebook.

Though it seemed not to matter when the TV personality directed her response toward the Teen Mom OG star.
Jenelle captioned her post, “Hey Maci… Fake news: Ensley is NOT missing”.
ALL MADE UP
Jenelle was recently taken to task for appearing to put makeup on her “not missing” daughter Ensley in several selfies the MTV star shared on Instagram.
Jenelle and Ensley smiled in the photos, with the child wearing a Fourth of July-themed star-print blue top.

They posed in front of a white house, which appeared to be the Airbnb the family later got kicked out of.
The MTV alum captioned the shots: “Wonder where she gets all her sass from twinning.”
While many fans praised the sweet photos, some claimed it looked like Ensley was wearing makeup.
One person wrote in the comments: “I see lipstick and mascara wtf.”
Another agreed, writing: “Was gonna say! So inappropriate!”
Earlier this week, Jenelle was ripped for putting her three kids in “danger” during a hiking trip.
She was joined by her husband David Eason and her children on a day out around the Beacon Heights Trail in North Carolina.
Jenelle explored the mountains with her kids – Jace, 12, Kaiser, eight, and Ensley – as well as David’s stepdaughter Maryssa, 14.
HIKING DRAMA
She shared a photo of David standing on the edge of a super-high cliff, facing out at the view.
He was holding hands with Ensley, who stood next to him, while Kaiser sat on the rock and Jace stood a little further away.
Jenelle also posted a TikTok of the group outing, which showed her kids trying to battle the wind at the top of the mountain.
One critic on Reddit: “Well this is nice and dangerous,” while another added: “Zero parental supervision.”
A third commented: “How she letting them just roam around at the top of the mountain?!”
This isn’t the first time Jenelle has been called out for her parenting skills.
FIGHTING BACK
Jenelle fought back against naysayers who called her a “bad mom” for not taking her kids on a beach vacation.
The former Teen Mom star defended herself by posting several photos to Instagram with her kids while visiting Beech Mountain in North Carolina.
It’s known for the Beech Mountain Resort, with ski trails, a summit deck with panoramic views, and a terrain park.
“You can see KY, TN, VA, and NC from this view ,” she captioned the series of photos.
She added, “(before you ask, Kaiser was at his dads ).”
Jenelle explored the mountains with her kids – Jace, 13 and Ensley, 5 – as well as David’s stepdaughter Maryssa, 14.
Fans claimed the TV personality ignored her son Kaiser, who was born on June 30th, on his most recent birthday.
On a Teen Mom fan page, a follower argued Jenelle “didn’t mention” his special day on social media.
The photos come after Jenelle faced backlash for going on two separate trips without her children.
In a TikTok video, the mother of three poses her own answer to the statement: “If you’re a parent you can’t go on vacation without your kids.”
The 30-year-old acts like she is pondering the statement initially, before simulating a broken heart using her hands.

Jenelle captioned the video: “A happy mom is the best mom.”
