TEEN Mom star Jenelle Evans has revealed she got her signature facial scar when she pierced her upper lip with a metal dart as a teenager.
The 29-year-old shared the revelation on her TikTok yesterday and explained that she pierced her own lip at home before she got pregnant with her eldest son, Jace, 11.
She began: “So when I was younger before I had Jace, before I was pregnant, before I was even on TV, I ended up piercing my lip by myself with a dart.
“This was one of those like real metal, old-fashioned throwing darts that had the tip on it like [holds her fingers an inch apart] that big.”
The reality TV star admitted she was forced to remove the piercing 11 years ago after it damaged her teeth, and she’s been left with a scar ever since.
“I took it out because it was rubbing the enamel off my teeth right there
the metal part,” she shared.
“And what’s crazy is that I’ve had it out since after I was pregnant with Jace, and the hole is still there.”
Her piercing confession comes after Jenelle blamed her husband David Eason for her MTV downfall as she claimed he “ruined” her career during their 2019 breakup.
The MTV star recently started a new Youtube series, where she reflects on her time away from her husband.
Jenelle started her new series in an effort to clear the air about her tumultuous experience following David shooting and killing their family dog, Nugget.
The father of three killed their French Bulldog Nugget in April of 2019 after the animal bit their daughter Ensley.
MTV promptly fired Jenelle from Teen Mom 2 due to the shooting, after nearly a decade on the network.
In her new Youtube series, Jenelle shared never-before-seen footage from November of that year, when she felt fed up with her husband and jumped at the opportunity to move to Tennessee.
The ex-reality star packed up her children and moved without first clearing the split with David, and the clips showed her settling in to a hotel in the new state.
In speaking with an agent and her mother Barbara, Jenelle complained that she and her husband had been “up each other’s a** since 2015.”
She said: “He ruined it so bad it’s like I can’t even work now and I want to pursue the goals that I have and it’s always holding me back because of his attitude and him not changing.”
Since forgiving David and moving back home to reconcile their relationship, Jenelle has also taken to defending her husband’s controverisal actions.
Last month the ex TV star claimed there’s “no problem” with using the n-word, taking to Facebook to share his opinion.
David previously addressed the topic in August when he alleged that white people have been “attacked,” and that he believes all “wrongs” against African-Americans “have been righted.”
Jenelle dismissed claims that David’s words were harmful, as she insisted there’s “no racism” in their family.
In a new TikTok video the young mom assured fans that in her family they “don’t judge anyone by the color of their skin.”
