Final month, we realized that Jenelle Evans had despatched son Jace to Florida to dwell together with his father, Andrew Lewis.
The choice raised crimson flags for quite a lot of causes, not the least of which was that the 16-year-old had scarcely even met Lewis earlier than, and he had only recently moved from North Carolina to Nevada with Jenelle.
Within the weeks after the transfer, Jenelle gave a number of interviews through which she claimed that Jace was thriving in his new atmosphere and bonding together with his dad like by no means earlier than.

Jace’s scenario in Florida was ‘not good,’ insider says
In response to a brand new report from The Ashley’s Actuality Roundup, Jenelle shipped Jace off to a extremely unstable scenario, and the dwelling association didn’t final very lengthy.
“The situation at Andrew’s home was not good. Andrew is in no way in the position to be raising a kid, especially one who barely knows him and didn’t want to be there in the first place,” says The Ashley’s supply, including:
“Jace lasted lower than two weeks with Andrew. He’s not there anymore. Andrew isn’t mature sufficient to lift a baby by any means.

“Jace didn’t choose to go live with Andrew. It was decided for him,” the supply added. “And he hated it here. And he was very upset with Jenelle for sending him. No one is surprised this didn’t work out.”
Jenelle’s aspect of the story
“He just, he needed his dad. And his dad hasn’t been involved in his life since he’s been a baby,” she stated throughout a current look on the “Fargo Talks” YouTube present.
“It was time. Everyone’s like, ‘Why’d you send him to a stranger?’ But that’s his dad. That’s his other side of his family,” Evans continued.

Jenelle went on to elucidate that Andrew had suffered from alcoholism for years, however he now claims to be sober (and naturally, no addict has ever lied about their sobriety).
“[Andrew] was an alcoholic, but his family says [Andrew] is sober now. And that was years ago when I was, like, 16,” Jenelle stated, including:
“They’re doing great. Ever since I sent him there, they’ve sent me pictures of them fishing. He’s in Florida so they went out on the beach. They eat at the pier. They do so many good things, and they’re not posting about it, which is great. Because I told [Andrew], I said, ‘He needs privacy right now.’”

“Andrew has not changed. I don’t understand why she would say that. Anyone around here knows that’s not true,” stated the insider.
Sadly, we don’t should guess at Jenelle’s motives right here, as she advised “Fargo Talks” that she wanted to get Jace out of the home attributable to his psychological well being points, however non-public care amenities value “$30,000 a month, $1000 a day or more,” and Evans’ “hands are tied” as a result of she doesn’t “have the money.”
In feedback each on YouTube and to Entry Hollywood, Jenelle has expressed optimism about Andrew and Jace’s new relationship.
As The Ashley factors out, we don’t know when these interviews have been filmed, so we don’t know if Jenelle was mendacity, or if the scenario had not but deteriorated.
Regardless of the case, the insider appears sure that Jace is not dwelling with Andreww
