Kelli Williams (1:39)

You guys, welcome to another episode of Beyond The Blinds. As always, it's me, Kelli Williams.

Troy McEady (1:44)

And Troy McEdie.

Kelli Williams (1:45)

And typically, an episode like this would go behind a paywall, but we wanted everyone to be able to experience this episode that we have kind of hinted at for, I don't know, five years at this point.

Troy McEady (1:56)

And we got to step into the light. We can't live in fear.

Kelli Williams (1:59)

We can't live in fears.

Troy McEady (2:01)

Of the teen moms.

Kelli Williams (2:02)

This week's episode is all about Jenelle and David. And before we get into anything, I just want to give a quick shout out to the Ashley. Most of these articles are from her, and she's had her finger on the pulse of teen mom for years. She was in the ID Network, 16 and Pregnant Doc that they did, and I just really, really appreciate her.

She even did Boots on the Ground at Josh Duggar's trial. She had people there. She went herself. So if you love anything, Teen Mom or TLC, I'm sure you already know about the Ashley, but I just want to give her a huge shout out because she is incredible.

Troy McEady (2:37)

Yeah, very deserved.

Kelli Williams (2:39)

All right, Troy, before we get into every setting, what is your relationship with Jenelle Evans?

Troy McEady (2:44)

I don't know her and I don't know anything about her. I've never seen this woman. I've never watched this woman in my life. Oh, God. Jenelle, Jenelle, Jenelle, Jenelle.

My relationship, it's hard to say. I guess I have been watching Jenelle since her 16 and pregnant episode. I guess happy to report that I was Boots on the Ground about Teen Mom, like watched it in real time. I watched all of the episodes of 16 and Pregnant. I was obsessed.

I have since fallen off the Teen Mom bandwagon. Unfortunately, I haven't watched it in a few years, but I watched it for at least 10 I think that counts for something. And yeah, I just think that Jenelle is just one of those people that you look back and it's like her 16 and Pregnant episode is more of almost like a sliding doors moment where it's like, God, like with the right guidance, this teenager, somebody could have stepped in and just been like, you know, but it's just been a series of unfortunate events since the moment we met Jenelle. Like she was just doomed from the start. And it's crazy to think how many eras of her life we've watched play out, like all the different men, like Kiefer just seems like it was just like centuries ago, you know, in the grand scheme of things. And I don't know, Jenelle, I've always had a connection just because of Jenelle being like maybe the most dramatic. Do you think Jenelle is like the most dramatic Teen Mom? Like is she the villain of Teen Mom?

Kelli Williams (4:22)

For me, it's Amber. But I think if you were to ask somebody like on the street, like what Teen Mom do you know, it's either Farrah or Jenelle.
