Jenelle Evans' son Jace hospitalized after allegedly pulling gun on grandma and threatening to kill himself
Jenelle Evans’ son Jace has been hospitalized in a mental health facility following a disturbing incident involving his grandmother, Barbara.
According to reports, the 16-year-old allegedly pulled a gun on her, threatened to kill both her and himself, and even placed the firearm to his own head.
Sources claim Jace had been drinking and using drugs prior to the outburst, which prompted police to respond to Barbara’s North Carolina home on February 22.
Seven officers were dispatched, and authorities determined that in-patient psychiatric care was necessary.
The situation comes amid long-standing family tensions. Jace, who was primarily raised by Barbara after Jenelle welcomed him in 2009 with ex-boyfriend Andrew Lewis, had returned to living with his grandmother after repeatedly running away from his mother’s home.
Jenelle regained custody in March 2023, but the arrangement has remained unstable.
In response to the latest developments, Jenelle briefly commented online, writing that the matter was “no one’s business,” while also sharing posts that appeared to criticize her mother.
The Evans family has faced years of public disputes and custody battles, and Jace’s struggles have often been at the center.
While it remains unclear how long he will stay in treatment, sources close to the family say the priority is stabilizing his health and well-being.
Jenelle’s representative declined to provide further details, citing confidentiality, but emphasized that the situation is being handled privately.
