TEEN Mom Jenelle Evans recently left her two youngest kids with a babysitter in Las Vegas for three whole weeks, her ex Nathan Griffith has claimed.
In an on-camera interview with The U.S. Sun, Jenelle’s middle child’s father alleged that the former Teen Mom 2 star left Ensley, 8, and Kaiser, 10, alone for several weeks with caretakers while she was across the country in North Carolina.

“I know she was out and about for almost three weeks, while Kaiser was jumping around with babysitters,” Nathan alleged.
“One time, he was playing out in the streets and somebody had to get him.”
During another part of the explosive interview with Nathan, he read out a text he recently sent to Jenelle, in which he directly accused her of “leaving [Kaiser] alone for nearly three weeks unattended with babysitters.”
A separate source added that Jenelle’s oldest son Jace, 15, was along with his mom for the journey to North Carolina, while she left the younger kids behind in Sin City.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Kaiser and Ensley were seen playing alone for hours outside their mother’s house during multiple weekdays in late September.
“They seemed to be riding around the blocks and going to a neighbor’s home and coming back,” an eyewitness said at the time.
JENELLE’S SIDE OF THE STORY
Jenelle and her manager-turned-boyfriend August Keen responded to The U.S. Sun’s latest request for comment in a phone call.
“Yeah, I would love to comment on that because I had a babysitter for a little bit because I went to North Carolina for court, and I had to get my stuff and then I had to drive it back across the country,” she told The U.S. Sun.
August chimed in: “People get nannies and babysitters all the time.”
BACK TO COURT?
Nathan went on to say during his interview: “I think there’s a lot of things that I don’t know, and I cannot make comment on it, because I’m not in the house.
“But I know what Kaiser has told me. I know the neglect and the abuse that he receives, and there’s really nothing I can do.
“My expectation is, what’s going to probably have to happen, is another family court case…because she’s already threatening my mom, threatening me about custody and all this stuff.”
The U.S. Sun previously revealed other bombshell claims Nathan leveled against his ex-fiancee, including her three children allegedly being exposed to drugs in her household, and that her soon-to-be-ex-husband, David Eason, 36, allegedly got violent with Kaiser.
ABUSE ALLEGATIONS
Nathan, who says he has over 130 days sober, said he thinks that Kaiser would often get blamed for things his older brother Jace allegedly did to their younger sister.
The father-of-two recalled that his son told him about a time when Jace allegedly threw a rock hitting Ensley in the head and that Kaiser “got the living crap beat out of him for it.”
The former MTV reality star claimed that anything pertaining to Jenelle and David’s daughter Ensley, would especially provoke the ire of Kaiser’s stepfather.
He recounted a story Kaiser told him about how his little sister was “messing with him and hitting him and pinching him,” and so her middle brother went ahead and pinched her back.
The 37-year-old said that he was told Ensley did not get in trouble, but that David allegedly pinched Kaiser as “as hard as he could and made him bleed on the arm.”
Nathan says the tween has a scar on his shoulder from the incident.
The former MTV star also shockingly alleged that the 10-year-old claimed that his stepdad had “punched him in the face several times.”
David is currently facing felony assault by strangulation charges for an incident with Jace last fall.
Jenelle’s soon-to-be-ex has never directly or publicly denied any abuse allegations against him.
Jenelle and August did not deny all of the claims of abuse leveled against her estranged husband, but she did deny ever seeing any of it with her own eyes.
Jenelle and David’s relationship timeline
The tumultuous pair have had their fair share of falling outs
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans met David Eason on Tinder in September of 2015.
Jenelle got pregnant in April 2016 and announced she suffered a miscarriage, then she became pregnant again with her and David’s daughter, Ensley, a few months later.
The pair got engaged in February 2017 and tied the knot that September.
A year after saying “I do,” Jenelle called 911 and accused David of assaulting her outside their home. She would later call the incident “a drunk and dramatic misunderstanding” and said she was “fine.”
In around May 2019, David shot and killed their French bulldog puppy named Nugget. Weeks after the incident, CPS took custody of all of the children, including their daughter, Ensley, Jenelle’s son, Kaiser, and David’s daughter, Maryssa.
When her children were returned to her, Jenelle fled to Tennessee with Kaiser and Ensley and filed an order of protection against David in October. She ultimately dropped the case and went back to him.
In the following years, the couple sparked split rumors as the pair would often unfollow each other on social media and update their Facebook relationship statuses.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported, on February 23, 2024, Jenelle filed for separation from David. She stated that she filed the documents with “the intent that the separation be permanent” and claimed that Eason had “exhibited concerning and at times disturbing behavior towards [her]” throughout their marriage.
RIPPED APART
Nathan first spoke up about his concerns for Kaiser’s well-being after Jenelle had moved the preteen to live with his grandmother Doris Davidson in Tennessee earlier this month, only to make an about-face in her decision and rip him out of his brand new school just three days into starting.
The father of two said he believed Jenelle was “making the right decision” to move Kaiser to Tennessee to live with Doris.
He said that Kaiser was in a “sticky situation” under the 32-year-old’s care.
“My son has already [edited out for privacy], he already vapes, he’s already [edited out for privacy], he’s already done [edited out for privacy], and he’s 10 years old,” Nathan previously alleged.
He also said that Child Protective Services should be taking the allegations seriously, and then claimed Kaiser told him he had gotten into trouble in a vaping incident at school.
Jenelle has denied to The U.S. Sun that she has drugs in her home and denied that Kaiser was caught in a vaping incident at school.
Nathan expressed his frustrations with Child Protective Services in Jenelle’s household over the years.
“I wish in certain situations, the state, CPS, or in the court system or something actually took the evidence or took the investigation and took it seriously.
He added that he believes CPS “only digs down so deep,” and that now, “eight years later, where the kids are getting in drug trouble, doing drugs.”
CPS was involved in Jenelle’s household back in 2017 when Doris was fighting for custody of Kaiser, according to reports at the time.
In 2019, Kaiser, Ensley and David’s daughter Maryssa, now 17, were briefly removed from Jenelle’s home after he shot and killed their French Bulldog, Nugget.
