90 Day Fiance’s Deavan Clegg claims Teen Mom Jenelle Evans was ‘never a producer’ on podcast & was FIRED due to scandals
90 Day Fiance star Deavan Clegg claimed her former podcast costar Jenelle Evans was “never a producer” on the project and was fired because of her scandalous past.
Jenelle, 29, announced on Tuesday she is co-hosting and producing a new podcast called Girl S#!t, which features 90 Day Fiance star Deavan, 23, and a series of social media influencers.

But on the night of the launch party, Girl S#!t revealed Jenelle would not be attending due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Reports claimed Deavan shared her concerns over Jenelle’s past, including her husband David Eason admitting to killing the family dog back in 2019.
Jenelle then claimed on Thursday that she was the one who “hand chose” Deavan and is “her producer,” as she denied being fired from the podcast.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Deavan fired back against Jenelle’s claims: “That’s not true… She was never a producer when I signed on. She said she knew someone working on a big project and said jump on a zoom call if you want to be involved.

“I went to the meeting and there were several other girls. She didn’t hire me and she was never my producer… There were several girls and me and Jenelle were just part of the cast like other girls.”
Deavan then admitted she “didn’t know” about Jenelle’s past, including the child protective services investigation against her and David.
Jenelle and David, 32, lost temporary custody of their children in May 2019 after he admitted to shooting and killing Nugget because the pooch nipped at their daughter Ensley, 4.
After a series of court hearings, the children were returned to them.

The mom of three was fired from Teen Mom 2 because of the incident.
The TLC star said: “I told the owner I would not be involved in a project that is working with someone with these allegations. It’s everything I’m against.”
Despite Jenelle’s claims that she hasn’t been let go, Deavan said: “As far as I know, she’s been fired.”
Podcast co-star Gabrielle Egan also told The Sun Jenelle had been let go.

She said the cast members ‘lost followers’ and ‘received a lot of hate’ for working with Jenelle[/caption]
She previously said: “I was told Jenelle was being let go from the production because of new information that was discovered about her past and a lot of the cast was uncomfortable working with her.
“Since posting with Jenelle, a lot of us have lost followers, received a lot of hate for even being associated with her. From what I know, Jenelle is no longer associated with Girl S#!t.”
Gabbie added: “Jenelle was a part of the cast. She did help with finding cast members, and help ‘run the show.’ She was one of the main girls, who personally reached out to me to be a part of this project as well.”
But Gabbie clarified that the women all work for a separate producer of Girl S#!t, not for the former MTV star.

She said of her time with Jenelle and her husband: “I really liked Jenelle and David in person, they were very nice to me and this whole thing makes me really sad.”
The podcast, which Jenelle announced on Tuesday, was set to air on April 1, though Deavan told The Sun she “doesn’t know” if the episode will drop today.
On Instagram Thursday morning, Jenelle said of the Deavan claims: “There are a lot of rumors I woke up to saying Deavan got me fired from this thing when I’m her producer and I actually hand chose Deavan to join.
“So with that being said, I am not fired and we don’t know what’s going to be happening with the podcast right now.

“But I do know as soon as I get home I have all the equipment to set up mine. I know you guys want to hear from me. You’ll hear from me soon. Maybe this will be a YouTube video. We’ll see.”
In a second video, which has been deleted, Jenelle said of the dog-killing scandal: “It’s pretty s***ty of a person to try to hold something against someone that happened years ago like we talk about all the time.
“To ruin their opportunities in life. Like that’s s***ty. It’s really s***ty and you know I thought I chose a good group of girls, but sometimes things don’t work out the way it’s planned.
“But that’s okay. There’s always hiccups along the way.”

90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates claimed Deavan voiced her concerns of Jenelle being part of the project.
The blogger said: “Deavan wasn’t aware of Jenelle’s backstory… she did not know about Jenelle’s past. When Deavan brought it up to the powers that be and voiced her concerns, as well as the other people on the podcast voiced their concerns about Jenelle’s checkered past, that was enough for Jenelle to get fired.
“In a way, you can say that it was Deavan. Once she found out about the checkered past, she was like, ‘I can’t support that. I can’t be involved with someone who has, like, dog-murderings.’”
Jenelle blamed “cancel culture” for why she was uninvited from the event on Wednesday night.

The fired Teen Mom 2 star said on TikTok: “You know the cancel culture s**t, that’s basically why. So I’m going to sip this drink – oh s**t I’m out – and you guys enjoy yourself at the party.”
She added: “I hope you’re having a great time, because none of you are talking to each other.”
The mom of three also shared a video of herself lip-syncing with David while eating their meal, which she captioned: “Everyone hates @easondavid but ‘Life’s a betch and here’s here dude.’”
