43: Jenelle Eason — MTV’s OG

Jenelle Eason is an OG of MTV,  where she was originally on the cast of MTV’s ‘16 and Pregnant’, and then rose to fame on ‘Teen Mom 2’. She joins Bunnie this week to set the record straight about what life really is like as a reality TV star, how she got involved in Teen Mom, and what she thinks about the current cast today. She also catches us up on what’s new in her world, including her kids, love life, and of course — her mom Barbara.    Takeaways:  Yes, she really is as cool in real life as she is on TV. There are no smoke and mirrors, just the real Jenelle.  Jenelle is officially out of contract with MTV in April, and looks forward to branching out more into different production elements including YouTube, podcasting, producing, and maybe editing.  Jenelle has been in the public eye since she was 17, with ‘16 and Pregnant’ and ‘Teen Mom’. She is looking forward to having some privacy and making her own schedule.  She is 28 years old, so Jenelle is far from a teen mom these days. She has matured and learned over time what’s really important to her besides the life you see on camera. You can catch a full look at her life from her vlogs on her YouTube channel.  Co-parenting is tough, but Jenelle does the best job she possibly can.  Jenelle’s storyline on ‘Teen Mom’ was definitely that of the villain or the bad guy.  After a vacation, Jenelle decided she loved Nashville so much she wanted to pack up and move there.    Quotes:  “I’ve always wondered what the dorm life is like...if I had no kids.”  “I want to be known as Jenelle Eason, to be my own person and do my own thing.” “It’s been 10 years guys. This is my time for privacy now.”    Mentioned:  Jenelle Eason: YouTube | Instagram |   Teen Mom 2  16 and Pregnant Read Between the Lines   Check out Bunnie:  @xomgitsbunnie BunnieXo  @officialdumbblonde
