Is MTV Ruining 'Teen Mom' Star's Career?
by EG
Teen Mom personality Jenelle Evans says her MTV contract is keeping her from accepting offers from other TV networks. Evans, who has stirred controversy for threatening a driver with a gun during a road rage incident and standing behind her homophobic-tweeting husband, didn't specify the nature of these other offers. Read on for details of her biting of the hand that feeds her.

Forced to film? Jenelle Evans recently claimed that she is “locked in a contract” with MTV after suggesting that she had received offers from other TV networks for potential projects.
“Have lots of offers from many different people, but you have to turn them down when you’re locked in a contract. #Annoying,” the 26-year-old reality star tweeted on Sunday, August 5. “Just clarifying rumors.”
After a fan asked if she was “still locked in a contract even with being off the show now,” Evans replied, “Unfortunately, yes. Still butting heads.”
Evans threatened to quit the MTV series during the July 30 season finale if the producers did not let her husband, David Eason, start filming the show again. (The network cut ties with Eason in February after he wrote homophobic tweets that later went viral.)
“He will film the next season or I’m not doing it,” Evans said during the episode. “I have people offering me stuff for Netflix and Amazon right now … I will do my own thing.”
Evans first appeared on MTV back in 2010 on an episode of 16 and Pregnant. The Read Between the Lines author, who is the mother of sons Jace, 9, and Kaiser, 4, from previous relationships, and 18-month-old daughter Ensley with Eason, has starred on Teen Mom 2 since its premiere in 2011.
