Barbara Evans, Mother of ‘Teen Mom’ Jenelle, Suffers Stroke – Exclusive Details
Barbara Evans, the mother of reality television star Jenelle Evans from “Teen Mom,” has recently suffered a stroke. Reports indicate that she was hospitalized in North Carolina last week due to a serious medical emergency.
Timeline of Events
The incident occurred on a Wednesday, although conflicting reports suggest Barbara had her stroke on Friday. Barbara’s health condition initially seemed critical, prompting concern among her family.
Family Support
During her hospitalization, her son Jace and daughter Ashleigh remained by her side. After showing signs of improvement, Barbara was discharged but will require ongoing physical therapy. A source stated that while she is recovering, she has not yet returned to her normal state.
Jenelle Evans’ Involvement
Following the news of her mother’s stroke, Jenelle Evans traveled back to North Carolina. However, sources have clarified that she had pre-existing plans to visit her family in the state, unrelated to Barbara’s health crisis.
Past Tensions
There have been ongoing tensions between Barbara and Jenelle. Reports indicate that a no-trespassing order had previously been enacted against Jenelle and her ex-husband, David Eason, which could complicate family interactions. It remains uncertain if this order is still in effect, but it is noted that Barbara prefers distance from her daughter.
Living Arrangements
As of now, Barbara’s stroke has not altered living arrangements for Jace, who continues to reside with his grandmother. This living situation reflects the complexities of their family dynamics, particularly since Jace returned to Barbara’s care in August.
Social Media Controversy
In a somewhat controversial move, former “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham commented on Barbara’s condition. In an Instagram Story, she implied that Barbara’s parenting may have contributed to her health issues, reigniting an online feud with Jenelle.
El-Balad will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
