Jenelle Evans and Briana DeJesus have formed a friendship after being ousted by their "Teen Mom 2" co-stars, including Chelsea Houska, Leah Messer, and Kailyn Lowry, and during a new sneak peek, they are seen bonding in Los Angeles. After traveling to the west coast, Evans and DeJesus sat down with one another to reflect on DeJesus' early 2017 addition to the show.
“How do you like being on 'Teen Mom 2' so far? How does it feel? Does it feel different [than 'Teen Mom 3']?” Evans asks DeJesus in a sneak peek shared by OK! Magazine on May 9. “It’s alright, it’s alright.
It’s a lot of work. It’s a little awkward today, you know?” DeJesus replied.
Jenelle Evans is used to 'Teen Mom 2' reunion drama
“Yeah, days like this it gets awkward because there’s all sorts of vibes going on," Evans explained. As fans well know, Evans has been involved in her fair share of drama in the years since she began starring on "Teen Mom 2." So, when it comes to dealing with the tensions of reunions, she's well versed. As for DeJesus, she told her co-star that she doesn't understand why it has to be so tense on set. "I’ll never get it," she told Evans. "I feel like everybody is at a certain age where we are grown enough to talk and get over it and for some reason that is just not the way it is.”
“That’s what I mean," Jenelle Evans replied.
Everyone should just get along and be a group together but everyone makes their own cliques.”
Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus are at odds because of Javi Marroquin
“I don’t want to be, oh geez where I can’t be on stage with this person because this or that," Briana DeJesus continued. "I don’t want that and I feel that is exactly what [is happening].” Because DeJesus began dating Kailyn Lowry's former husband, Javi Marroquin, months after being added to the cast, she and Lowry have been unable to establish a friendship with one another.
Instead, they've feuded frequently on social media and on the show.
“You don’t want to be uncomfortable on stage feeling like no one is talking to you or whatever," Evans continued. "You know this has been going on for years before you came on the show. I tell David, ‘It’s like mean girls.’”
