Jenelle Evans’ Mom Claims Reality TV Star Is Blocking Her From Seeing Jace — Details
This heartbreaking update feels all too familiar for those who have followed the complicated and often painful family dynamic surrounding Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans.
According to new claims published on Tuesday by TMZ, tensions between Jenelle and her mother Barbara Evans have reached another devastating level — this time involving Jenelle’s teenage son Jace during what is already an incredibly vulnerable moment in his life.

Barbara is speaking out to that outlet now, alleging that she has been completely cut off from her grandson while he receives treatment at a mental health facility. She says she hasn’t been allowed to visit him or even speak to him directly — something that is clearly weighing heavily on her.
In an effort to maintain some connection, Barbara reportedly calls the facility twice a day, every single day, asking staff to pass along messages to Jace. Per a TMZ source, she reportedly asks that they tell him to “hang on” without her.
Ugh…
What makes this situation even more emotional is Barbara’s belief that Jace is struggling without that line of communication. She is apparently deeply worried that he may feel isolated, which is why she continues her daily outreach, according to TMZ.
Meanwhile, Jenelle has reportedly been in contact with Jace and even visited him recently, which adds another complicated layer to an already tense situation. This all comes shortly after a deeply alarming incident involving a 911 call, where Barbara claimed Jace had a gun to his head. That moment ultimately led to his placement in the facility.
A judge recently denied Barbara’s request for emergency custody, but this story is far from over. A temporary custody hearing is set for next week, where both Barbara and Jace’s father are expected to present their case. As of now, Jenelle has not publicly responded to these latest claims.
It’s a deeply sad situation all around, and at the center of it is a young boy who deserves support from every direction…
