Kenleigh is not only very active on social media, but she hasn’t been afraid to insert herself into Jenelle and David’s drama, mainly to defend her man despite the allegations against him and share her unfiltered thoughts on Jenelle (none of which are kind). Jenelle even threatened to press charges against Kenleigh if she kept shading her online. There’s also a lot of swooning and PDA-heavy content from David and Kenleigh to show followers just how happy they’re convinced they are. But with David’s reputation and Kenleigh’s obsessiveness towards him, fans should be concerned.

For one, there’s an age gap. Kenleigh is 25, while David is 36 (for comparison, Jenelle is 33). This gives context as to why Kenleigh may be more likely to ignore red flags, rationalize David’s behavior, and tolerate mistreatment (like Jenelle did for many years). Due to the imbalance of power, it’s often easier to manipulate the younger person in a relationship when there’s a significant age gap.
Why David and Kenleigh’s Relationship is Concerning
But the biggest cause for concern is David’s reputation. He has a long history of legal issues, including domestic violence allegations, child abuse charges, and restraining order violations. His latest marriage only ended when he was charged with assaulting Jenelle’s teenage son. Much like Kenleigh is doing now, Jenelle spent many years defending David and making excuses for his mistreatment. Nowadays, she’s singing a different tune, and hasn’t been afraid to hold back, even though she says there’s much more to expose.
“I hold so many disgusting secrets for him and want to share my story but the timing isn’t right,” Jenelle said in August, referring to the mistreatment David allegedly subjected her to
It's bizarre to think anyone would want to be in a relationship with a man known to abuse women and children, yet here we have Kenleigh. And that's why fans should be concerned. History has a way of repeating itself, and domestic abuse is no exception. It may only be a matter of time before Kenleigh and David's relationship becomes aggressive. David's history should make the public concerned for Kenleigh's well-being and safety – and decision-making skills, at the very least.
