Teen Mom’s Biggest Feuds Over the Years: Jenelle Evans, Leah Messer, Kailyn Lowry and More

Jenelle Evans and Leah Messer

The former Teen Mom 2 star seemingly shaded the mom of three for bringing her twin daughters to participate in a June 2023 Pride parade in Charleston, West Virginia. After reposting a photo of Leah and teens Aliannah Hope and Aleeah Grace in a car heading to the event on her Facebook page, Jenelle asked followers, “What are your opinions about taking kids to Pride events? Agree or disagree?”

The Hope, Grace & Faith author was not about to get dragged by Jenelle, telling In Touch exclusively via her rep, “Leah Messer has no comment. She trusts in her parenting choices and will continue to follow that versus the opinion of others. She recommends the former cast member of Teen Mom 2 to focus on herself and her own kids.”

“This is Jenelle looking for some sort of clout off of commenting on Leah,” her rep continued.

Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer

The pair were formerly close friends until Kailyn felt that Leah sided with her nemesis, Briana.

“My friendship with Kail has been rocky,” Leah revealed during the May 2022 Teen Mom 2 reunion after she left the stage, not wanting to discuss their relationship.

”An unfortunate situation occurred a few weeks after being home [from Teen Mom: Family Reunion] when I ‘liked’ an Instagram post of Briana’s referencing self-growth. I was unaware at the time that a fat-shaming situation [Briana gifting Kailyn a treadmill] had occurred between Briana and Kail. It should be known that I don’t and will never support fat-shaming or bullying in any way, shape or form.”

“This caused tension and hurt feelings that I hope can one day be resolved. I’m honestly sick and tired of being brought into this drama, having my kindness taken for weakness or being put in a position to where it seems as though I need to choose someone’s side,” Leah added.

Jenelle Evans and Kailyn Lowry

Jenelle infamously set fire to a “peace offering” gift Kailyn sent containing her Pothead Haircare products in 2018.

“Kail Lowry, for years you’ve been super jealous and envious of all us girls on the show. You try to make your way into the group, then turn into a mean ass person when it came down to me,” Jenelle wrote next to a video of her torching the products. “You apologize on/off, claim I need to be apologizing sometimes, then talk s–t constantly about me and my husband to the tabloids?! THEN you had the balls to send me a PEACE GATHERING GIFT?! Don’t send me gifts and then go talk s–t AGAIN!!! Wow, you’re an idiot cuz this is what I do for gifts sent from fake ass bitches like you. Stay out of my life, go worry about your own.”

The drama continued for years and was still alive and well in February 2022 when Kailyn responded to a fan on TikTok who pointed out that she took son Lux to get his ears pierced soon after Jenelle did the same with her son Kaiser. Kail showed in a timestamp that she had her son’s ears pierced a week before Kaiser’s were done and joked, “We didn’t go to Claire’s lol,” which is where Jenelle took her son.

The North Carolina native shared the screenshot to her Instagram Stories on February 8, writing, “We parent differently. Stop being a bitch to the world. This is why no one can be your friend.”

Cheyenne Floyd and Mackenzie McKee

Cheyenne, the only Black cast member of Teen Mom, came for Mackenzie after she referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “colored woman” in January 2021, claiming to be unaware that the term was racially insensitive.

“After Mackenzie’s colored comment came out, she asked to call me, and I told her no problem. We had a conversation that she continued to put her foot in her mouth, explaining how she knew nothing about segregation and how Black people were referred to as colored where she came from,” Cheyenne later recalled of their conversation.

“I took my time to teach a lesson when I did not have to. It is not my responsibility to teach you. But since I am the only black cast member on the show, she felt like she had to call me and explain,” Cheyenne added. “After an hour-long conversation, she thanked me for even talking to her because she said her husband thought I was going to be ‘one of the angry Black women.'”
Mackenzie responded back in an Instagram Live, saying, “I talked to Cheyenne, and I thought things were going to be amazing, but it was just a downward spiral from there. Her message back was ‘I have no sympathy for you. Welcome to day one of being uncomfortable because of the color of your skin,‘” she continued. “So, if she hates me, that’s fine. That’s fine because I said something ignorant, but I messaged and told her that I love her.”
The Oklahoma native added, “I said ‘I love you, I want to hold your hand and do this together with you.’ But she decided right then and there she’s done with me. Cut me off.”

Amber Portwood and Jenelle Evans/David Eason

The two seemed to be friends until January 14, 2019, when Amber called out Jenelle’s husband David Eason for being a “disgusting clown” in a tweet.

“You know who you are and you will respond or your girl. But family no matter if we hated each other now or in the past never deserves abuse. I had to learn that the hard way as an abuser and also getting a couple whacks myself,” Amber continued with the hashtags, “b*tchmen” and “weak.”

Jenelle had claimed in an October 2018 911 call that Eason “broke my collarbone” during a drunken rage. She later rescinded the allegation.

The feud reignited in February 2022 when Jenelle replied in the comments section of a TikTok video that the Teen Mom Family Reunion star was “scared” of her.

Jenelle Evans and Chelsea Houska

The former MTV star went off on her ex cast mate after Chelsea shared loving photos with her husband, Cole DeBoer, and their kids. Next to a series of memes about the South Dakota resident which Jenelle posted to Instagram, she wrote, “Yeah it sucks some people try to act like their lives are picture perfect and scared to put down their pride to make their lives relatable and admit their flaws.”

“Some girls act like they’re a Stepford wife. And yes, I will hold a grudge and always make it known,” she added. “And yes, I will hold a grudge and always make it known … If you have personally been a complete bitch to me for years and can’t simply be nice then no, I will never like you as a person.”

Chelsea has not responded publicly to Jenelle’s numerous attacks on her over the years, which have also included criticizing her fashion. Instead, she has gone about her life with a successful HGTV show, Down Home Fab.
