• Jenelle Evans responded to cops’ claims that her dog Nugget’s murder was faked as a PR stunt.
  • Jenelle says cops are full of “lies” and accused them of staging their own PR stunt.

Are you losing sleep because you have no idea what happened to Nugget, Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans’ possibly murdered dog? Me neither, but STILL. Yesterday, after weeks of drama over Jenelle’s husband, David Eason, shooting and killing Nugget, news broke that she faked the entire thing for publicity. Direct quote from a news release from the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office: “Jenelle stated that the reason she filed the animal cruelty report was for the publicity and because she did not know where her dog was.”

Oh, and according to a local NBC affiliate, the police found “no blood evidence or any other physical evidence to validate that an animal had been fatally injured on the property.” On top of that, Jenelle apparently admitted that she only heard a gunshot and didn’t actually see Nugget’s death.

Alarming, yes (WHERE! IS! NUGGET!), but now Jenelle is out here denying the entire thing. In an interview with the Hollywood Gossip, Jenelle said the following:

“I never made a report against David in the first place. The cops called me and left me voicemail asking me to call them back about the ‘dog incident.’ I called back the chief of police because he wanted to speak with me the beginning of May 2019. When I called him, before I can even speak, he said to me, ‘Mrs. Eason, I need to know the truth about this situation. I have many media outlets calling me about it and I want to tell you right now, if this is a publicity stunt, you need to tell me because I have other cases including things like rape that I have to deal with. If you are doing it for publicity, then I understand and will close the case and you can go about your business.’”

According to Jenelle, she responded, "Yes, what you heard is true about my dog. This isn’t a publicity stunt and I’m not sure where my dog is or what happened to my dog, but you would have to call David and ask. I was inside my house with my kids when David went outside with the dog.”

She also explains that “I hear gunshots all the time at my house and my neighbor down the road even shoots his cannon sometimes. Told them I don’t remember if I heard a gunshot or not. I never saw anything and was in the house with my kids the entire time.”

Jenelle went on to say the police were trying to stage their own PR stunt (I cannot), explaining, “I honestly think they are doing this for their own publicity because they could have wrote up their ‘press release’ weeks ago.” She then mused, “We have footage of the entire search when the police came from two different angles. One from David’s phone and one from mine. If the police want to keep up their lies, we can post the truth some more.”

I’m truly speechless!
