Jenelle Evans' erratic behavior to end 'Teen Mom 2'?

Report: The ax is coming for controversial MTV series

The "Teen Mom" series is done, the New York Post reports, and star Jenelle Evans is apparently to blame.


Bing: More about Jenelle Evans | 'Teen Mom 2'

 

Evans, 21, is engaged in a downward spiral of erratic and headline-grabbing behavior. Since Thanksgiving, she reportedly married Courtland Rogers in a shotgun courthouse wedding, became pregnant, miscarried, filed assault charges against her husband, and filed for divorce.


"You (expletive) leave out of town and I might be having a miscarriage?! (Expletive) U, U (expletive) piece of (expletive),” she tweeted to Rogers last week.

"Teen Mom 2" -- a reality show documenting the adult lives of four women previously featured on "16 & Pregnant" -- has already wrapped a fourth season, which is expected to premiere this year. But a fifth looks unlikely, according to the Post.

MTV is still smarting from the fallout caused by Amber Portwood, a member of the original "Teen Mom" cast, who is currently serving five years for drug possession and violating her probation. And, according to the story, the network is having second thoughts about continuing to project such negative stereotypes -- even though they bring ratings bonanzas.

Since first appearing on MTV, Evans has been arrested seven times on charges including breaking and entering, assault, drug possession and parole violation, according to the Post. Last year, she posed for nude photos that were leaked on the Internet and entered rehab for the second time. (Evans' three-year-old son, Jace, has been in the custody of her mother since June.)

Do you think "Teen Mom 2" should be canceled?

"Teen Mom 2" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

No I dont believe the show should be cancelled as it is showing real life situations to young girls. I had my child as a teen and wish that such programing was available during my teen years. I do, however, think that the teens on the show who continually get into legal trouble should be removed from the program. Most adults who are arrested and behave in that manner would find themselves fired from their job so why not do the same to them?

No, I do not think that the show should be cancelled.  It is showing REAL LIFE and what happens to girls who have babies at 16.  I watch this show with my niece and explain that this is what happens.  These girls are never going to be able to go off to college and live a "college life".  Their life has been laid out for them and it is sad.  You are only young once and should be able to do what you want to.  I feel for these girls but, they made that choice.  Somehow I managed to go through my teen years and twenties without getting pregnant.  More education is needed and this is a good place to start.

How showing the things these girl's are doing on TV could be teaching anything good to our youth, today, is beyond me.   I saw my grand daughter's watching this crap, and sat down and watched several shows in a row.  All I could think is why MTV would put such tripe on  television.   Do us all a favor, cancel it!! Please.

I'm going to take a different path than most of the people commenting.  I don't think this show should be cancelled because it is showing what happens when you are 16 & pregnant.  Guess what, kids???  When you engage in unprotected sex you are not going to give birth to a doll or egg like the one you carried around in Health class.  You are giving birth to a real, live human being and your life will never be the same.  In fact, it will be incredibly hard.  Raising a child is very hard and very expensive and the girls out in the real world don't have the money MTV is giving these girls.  And while it would be nice for MTV to put some of the money into a trust for the babies, it would not be reality.  Young mothers make poor choices when spending money. Tattoos', facelifts ,drugs, etc. and instead of saving money they spend it foolishly, expecting others to pay for necessities.  Whether it is welfare, their parents or MTV.  Children do not get cheaper to raise as they grow older and  I think this show should run 16 years to show how hard it is and until the babies are 16 yrs. old and the girls are now going to be grandparents.

No I don't think they should conceal the show. I just started watching he show last when my niece came to leave with us for a bit she is a young mother of 2 boys she was 18 when she had her first. I like watching it now cause it is showing somewhat the girls trying to get there life straight and trying to be responsible and holding these fathers responsible for there part in all this. I do hate that they do put a lot of the girls personal issues out there but it is a teaching that is out there watching cause it is also showing that they are get consequences for there actions. So please keep the story line going I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of them getting marry and being happy like Leah, and Jonelle, and the others finding goods guys also.

Yes the show needs to end. Ive noticed instead of these girls of putting away money for their kids and their futures, theres alot of plastic surgery, tattos, etc going on. No responsibility and fame for just having babies as babies themselves. Whats going to happen to these girls when all the money is gone and their 15 minutes have run out? With the money these girls get for the show, and the cars, clothes, phones, tattoos, houses etc they have it gives girls who are becoming teen moms a sense of false security. They wont have the money these girls have and its the bus, hand me downs and public housing and chasing some of  the fathers for child support. The show has become more about their personal lives and less about how it is raising babies at a young age

This show absolutely should be cancelled. On one hand you have Janelle, completely lacking the ability to be a mature and responsible adult. Some day her son will be able to watch this show and see she repeatedly chose drugs, boys, and Ke$ha over doing right by him. On the other, you have Leah who cheats on her boyfriend/father of her children, marries him, THEN tells him she cheated on him. Divorces. Immediately moves on to husband #2. Goes off her birth control (because she thinks at 20 she's much more mature). Basically trapping guy #2 (did he know?). She drops out of school, way to go. Awesome role model for girls. Show 'em how making that family on a foundation of lies is better than taking care of YOURSELF standing on YOUR OWN FEET. Don't you listen to Dr. Drew? Odds are 14 years from now your girls are going to be unwed, teenage mothers. Pat yourself on the back.

Get rid of it! The show is nothing more than trash. These so called "stars" need to get a life.

MTV is not helping the cause of teen pregnancy by airing such a show. Just sayin!!

Can't wait to see how big of a drag on society the kids will be.  MTV would've been better served documenting counseling and the abortions that should've taken place.

I do think this show does need to be cancelled.  The issue is that (some/most) of the girls think they are now "celebrities".  It is a shame, because some of the girls' stories were a somewhat true portrayal of how difficult being a teen mother can be.  However, train-wrecks like Jenelle is what happens when an immature idiot is given attention for being on television, let alone money.  If these girls were even remotely intelligent, they would ALL use their "Teen Mom Cash" and go to school, get a degree to ensure that they can take adequate care of their children in the future.  Instead, they are shown on the show driving brand new cars, clothes, and all other materialistic crap.  I think in the beginning, it was a good concept to show the difficulty of being a teen mother, but it has just gotten ridiculous...
