Jenelle Evans Says She Doesn’t Know If David Eason Killed Their Dog After Police Report
Jenelle Evans is now claiming that she does not know if her husband, David Eason, shot her dog, Nugget.
A day after the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office reported that the Teen Mom 2 star made up the story for publicity, Evans says she has no idea what happened to her family pet after it bit her 2-year-old daughter, Ensley, in the face.
“I told [the chief of police], I said, ‘You know, I don’t know what ended up happening to my dog, because I wasn’t outside,” she told TMZ Live on Friday about the conversation she had with the police.
When asked if the dog is alive, she replied, “I have no idea. You would have to ask David that. I still have not asked David to this day.”
“After David went outside with the dog, I walked over to him, and he was by the edge of the woods and he said, ‘You don’t want to come over here.’ And I said, ‘Why?’ And he said, ‘Your dog is not here anymore.'”
“So I assumed that was my dog being dead,” she said, adding that at the time she did believe her husband shot her dog.
When pressed one more time for details about what Eason ultimately said on the stand, she firmly stated, “I’m not exploiting my husband, and if you wanna talk to him about it, you can.”
On Thursday, police released a press release explaining that after the 27-year-old reality star contacted police on April 29 and advised them that Eason had shot her French bulldog after the dog bit their daughter in the face, they conducted a search of the couple’s property on May 13, but found no blood evidence or any other physical evidence to validate that an animal had been fatally injured there.
