Jenelle Evans' Rep Responds After Son Jace's Alleged Threat to Grandma

Jenelle Evans, a former reality TV star, is dealing with a serious family matter after her 16-year-old son, Jace, was admitted to a mental health facility. This action follows a troubling event involving his grandmother, Barbara Evans.

The Incident with Grandma

The incident happened on February 22 at Barbara Evans' home in North Carolina. According to reports, police responded to what they described as a "troubled teen disturbance" after Barbara called 911. It was reported that Jace allegedly pulled a gun on his grandmother and himself. There were also concerns about potential substance use prior to the incident.

Jace has been under his grandmother's care since birth but returned to Jenelle's custody in 2023. However, he continued residing with Barbara after this legal change.

Response from Jenelle

A spokesperson for Jenelle told Entertainment Weekly that she is actively seeking the best treatment facility to meet Jace's needs. Living in Las Vegas, Jenelle also cares for her two other children.

Next Steps for Jace

Jace is currently receiving care at a mental health facility, but details about his stay are not fully known. The focus remains on his health and stability rather than public discussions. Law enforcement confirmed their response to the 911 call, although further details remain scarce.
