Here’s What Really Happened at ‘Teen Mom’ Star Jenelle Evans’ NYC “Divorce Party”: Recap of Events

Jenelle Evans “hosted” a “party” last night at a New York City strip club to celebrate her “divorce” from David Eason— and The Ashley has all the details about what it really was like inside the “party!” (The Ashley is using all of these quotation marks because the event could hardly be classified as a party, Jenelle did little-to-no hosting and she’s not even divorced— or close to being divorced— from David.) 

According to The Ashley’s reporter— who was there from the beginning of Jenelle’s “I Do. I Did. I’m DONE” divorce party until then end— the “party” was even cringier than its name suggests.

“The one thing that was incredibly obvious throughout the entire party was that Jenelle seemed so, so uncomfortable the whole time. She obviously felt very awkward, and like she almost didn’t even want to be there,” The Ashley’s reporter stated.

The party— which took place at the Spearmint Rhino strip club— was portrayed by TMZ as a wild, huge bash.

“The ‘Teen Mom’ alum, rocking a sexy red dress, was surrounded by her closest crew — bills flying, cake on deck, strippers in the mix, and booze flowing like there’s no tomorrow,” the website proclaimed.

However, according to The Ashley’s reporter— who, again, was there the whole time— the “party” was anything but wild or huge.

“In reality, it took place in a small corner of the strip club. Most of the people there were the strippers who work there or the male clients. A small amount of fans showed up, but Jenelle didn’t have ‘her closest crew.’ The only people with her were her makeup lady, her PR agent person and Gabbie Egan.”

The Ashley can also reveal that no ‘Teen Mom’ stars showed up— despite Jenelle claiming that Farrah Abraham was planning to attend. (Jenelle’s BFF from North Carolina Tori Rhyne was also a no-show.) 

“The only person related to the ‘Teen Mom’ world who came was Larry [Musnik], the producer guy. He was legit there for 20 minutes and then bolted. He spoke to Jenelle briefly, took a picture I think and was outta there.” 

As fans can see from The Ashley’s video shot from inside the party, the crowd was light to say the least, and there was no “booze flowing like there’s no tomorrow” or “bills flying.”

“Actually, I interviewed one of the strippers who told me she didn’t want to dance on the stage [that was in the middle of the room] the party was in,” The Ashley’s reporter stated. “She said she knew she wouldn’t get any tips because it was so dead in there! As people were leaving, the strippers were like hanging on the guys and asking them to stay longer. I don’t think they were making much money.” 

In the beginning of the party, a pinata of David’s head was wheeled out. 

“The pinata wasn’t filled with anything, though, just fake dollar bills, which was a really weird choice,” The Ashley’s reporter said. “Jenelle’s PR lady or whatever she was kept telling Jenelle how to pose for a good shot. It was just for a photo opp. Once they got the pic, the David head disappeared. It was extremely weird,” the reporter said. 

“It was also strange that the club seemed to put little to no effort into decorating for this party, considering Jenelle did so much press leading up to it,” the reporter said. “Inside the club there was nothing that mentioned Jenelle or the divorce or anything, except for a TV screen with a Microsoft Paint logo that literally just said, ‘Jenelle Evans Divorce Party.’ There was one small paper banner made for her table.” 

“Someone brought a small sheet cake that had a figurine of a bride dragging a groom to the dumpster,” the reporter added.

“That was literally it. There was no food or drinks or anything set up for the party. You just went to the bar as usual.” 

The reporter said that Jenelle did chat with those who showed up, telling them about how bad her marriage to David was, and how much she likes living in Vegas.

“She was relatively pleasant to anyone who approached her but you could tell she was way out of her element being there,” the reporter stated. “But for most of the party she was sitting in the corner talking to Gabbie or her makeup girl,” the reporter said.

“No one was dancing or partying or anything. The strippers were basically just making the rounds trying to get people to get private dances as usual,” the reporter added. “I think everyone was expecting that more people would have shown up and this would have been a lot bigger than it was.”
