David Eason did not just allegedly abuse Jenelle Evans’ son Jace. He also would hurt her other son, Kaiser, her ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffin alleged.
In an interview with The US Sun on Tuesday, the 37-year-old former reality star claimed his 10-year-old son was “neglected” by both parents and often physically punished for things he did not do over the years. He said:
“When they were younger, Kaiser told me Jace threw a rock and hit Ensley in the head and blamed Kaiser, and Kaiser got the living crap beat out of him for it.”
OMG! When it comes to Jenelle and David’s 8-year-old daughter Ensley, her scary soon-to-be ex-husband allegedly would get violent with Kaiser — to the point where he would leave permanent damage on the young kid at times. Nathan continued:
“If Kaiser did anything [to Ensley]….and this is how sick and demonic this stuff is. Ensley kept on messing with him and hitting him and pinching him, so Kaiser pinched her back. Ensley didn’t get in trouble, but David supposedly reached around pinched him as hard as he could and made him bleed on the arm, and he has a scar on his shoulder from him.”
What the f**k.
Nathan further alleged that “Kaiser told me David punched him in the face several times.” Jeez. And the abuse allegedly started when Kaiser was very young. According to Nathan, Kaiser has an underbite because “David reached around and punched him in the jaw” when he was just 2-years-old:
“During that time, I didn’t see Kaiser for three months. We kept on going over to her house trying to pick him up but she kept on denying us, so we think his jaw got broken somehow, and that’s why he had an underbite for the longest time.”
That is so awful. Now, after Kaiser allegedly suffered years of abuse and neglect at the hands of David, Nathan is worried about his son’s future:
“What gets me is if he ends up in jail or ends up doing something serious, who’s gonna get the blame? The parents can’t get blamed, and that’s what sucks. I’m gonna tell you, 99% of kids who get in trouble and kids who are a certain way are because of the parents. … When he’s not getting love and intention, he gets in trouble. Let’s say he’s older and he’s 18 and 19, people aren’t gonna look at his childhood. They’re gonna be like, ‘You know what, he did this.’ So now my kid is gonna look like he’s this bad kid, or this bad adult now and it’s not his fault. He’s just trying to figure out life the best he knows, because of the tools that were given to him and it’s unfortunate.”
Oof…
Jenelle and her manager-turned-boyfriend, August Keen, have since addressed the allegations. They did not deny all the abuse claims about David. However, Jenelle, who is currently under investigation by CPS, shut down the accusation that David broke Kaiser’s jaw when he was a toddler, resulting in an underbite. She explained to the outlet:
“Kaiser has an underbite because everyone in my family, my sister had an underbite, and it just needed to be fixed. So that is not true, and also other allegations about abuse, I’ve been checked out for abuse 70 times. Nathan was involved with those cases, and he knows exactly what was brought up, and he knows exactly what happened, and so nothing happened.”
Wait… Is she saying the abuse did not happen?? When asked if Jenelle was denying all the abuse accusations, August chimed in to say the Teen Mom star simply didn’t witness the violence with her own eyes:
“Denial is not the right word. Jenelle is in the middle of things that she is unaware of. Ultimately, she doesn’t know 100% if David pinched Kaiser, she doesn’t know that 1,000%, so I don’t think she’s denying it. I think she’s put in the middle of these things, and that’s why David is facing child abuse charges as we speak. Like, if David did really do those things, he’s facing the consequences now. I mean, the guy is in a s**t ton of trouble, he’s facing strangulation charges against Jace and what goes around comes around. And I’m sure if she knew that 100% she probably would have reacted the same way as she reacted towards the situation with Jace.”
Her man apparently was not super well-versed in Jenelle’s history because he went on to wrongly say that “she filed charges against David for child abuse because that was a little more apparent to her” when he allegedly strangled Jace in 2023. It was the state of North Carolina that filed — not Jenelle. In fact, she spent a lot of time sticking up for David instead! When the outlet corrected him, August replied:
“What I meant is that she’s not protecting David. Let me correct myself. She’s not protecting David against anything.”
The Sun pushed more on the matter, asking if she had “ever seen David hurt your children or Kaiser specifically?” And her response? She insisted:
“No, never.”
Hmm. At this time, David has not responded to the abuse allegations from Nathan. But given what we know about his history, like with the family dog incident, we are not surprised by the new claims. It just breaks our hearts what these kids allegedly suffered through at his hands. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know.
