Fans of 'Teen Mom 2's" Jenelle Evans came out in legions and droves after Dr. David Drew Pinsky, addiction medicine specialist and media personality, implied on his show that the young mother needed to be controlled. Some were not even fans but were just disgusted by the Doctor's remark.
In an interview with Jenelle's mother, Barbara, Dr. Drew and she discussed the alarming situation of Jenelle and her current husband, David Eason. Apparently, Jenelle did not want to appear on the show along with her mother, as she was upset due to their custody war with one of her children named Jace, who now belongs to Barbara. Barbara went on to say that out of all of Jenelle's boyfriends, David was the worst and most controlling.
To this, Dr. Drew responded, "To be fair to David, Jenelle needs containment, right? That's been one of her problems. She couldn't be contained." Barbara then said, "They're like two peas in a pod."
Afterwards, viewers of the show took to Twitter to immediately criticize and lash out at Dr. Drew for the statement about Jenelle on his show. A lot of them even questioned Dr. Drew's authenticity and credentials and went on to say that the Doctor implying that Jenelle was some kind of animal which needed to be subdued was sickening.
It can be remembered that the problem couple previously stormed out of the very same show during the reunion special. At that time, David convinced Jenelle to walk out of Dr. Drew's show after the doctor pointed out that Jenelle has a history of being attracted to aggressive men. David then took this as Dr. Drew trying to make Jenelle sad. Jenelle, on the other hand, has stated that that is not something even her therapist says to her.
Dr. Drew has yet to comment on the issue since then.
