Jenelle Evans made it clear she has no bad blood with MTV or her “Teen Mom” co-stars after news broke that she will not appear on the show’s upcoming spinoff.
“I alone decided to decline the terms within the agreement to pursue and further other career choices, based on the terms,” Evans, 30, claimed to Page Six on Wednesday of skipping out on “Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,” which will combine “Teen Mom OG” and “Teen Mom 2.”
“It would have not aligned with my current opportunities,” she added. “No hard feelings. I appreciate MTV and the producers for including me, [and] nothing but great vibes to the girls.”
Evans also teased to that she doesn’t have any intentions of leaving “for good” from MTV or the “Teen Mom” series.
“This is me being smarter about my career and future, I’d like to pursue all things that make sense for me and my family, and not burn any bridges in the process, just doing what’s right for me and participating in things that align with all im currently doing, thank you MTV and the producers for thinking of me!” she told us in a statement.
Evans’ manager August Keen also teased that “she has a new dynamic series in development” with a “major network.”
As for what’s next, Evans teased on her Instagram Story that fans will “find out soon” about her possibly doing her “own show.”
TMZ previously reported that Evans and MTV could not come to an agreement on her contract, with her manager saying an exclusive deal with the network would have “limited other career opportunities for Jenelle.”
Evans’ rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for additional comment.
Evans began her reality TV journey in 2010 by starring on “16 and Pregnant” while expecting her firstborn son, Jace, when she was a senior in high school. She then joined the cast of “Teen Mom 2” alongside Kailyn Lowry, Leah Messer and Chelsea DeBoer.
During her five seasons on the show, Evans went to rehab, had an abortion and tried to find a balance between parenting and partying.
Evans and her ex-fiancé Nathan Griffith welcomed son Kaiser in 2014. She then married David Eason in 2017, the same year they had daughter Ensley.
MTV cut ties with Eason, 34, in 2018 after he posted homophobic tweets. One year later, the channel fired Evans after Eason shot and killed their dog.
Keen told People Wednesday that Eason is “being a good boy” again and “not doing or saying things he shouldn’t.”
