While Jenelle Evans and David Eason’s heated custody battle for three of their children made headlines for months, there has been a much quieter battle going on behind the scenes. Apparently, Eason has been fighting his ex, Olivia Leedham, for custody of the five-year-old son they share. On Aug. 28, Leedham reached out to the community via Facebook to ask for assistance. Just a day later, Evans and Eason took to GoFundMe and the media to launch a smear campaign against Leedham. It looks like the battle is getting very ugly, very quickly.
Eason and Evansallegedly want custody of the 5-year-old
Shortly after Leedhamposted her GoFundMe campaign to Facebook, Evans took to social media to smearthe mother of two. She’s accused Leedham of being an “alcoholic, cheater andabuser.” Evans and Eason both went on to suggest they were “concerned” for thesafety of the child.
Along with allegationsabout Leedham on social media, the couple posted their own fundraisingcampaign. It included a lengthy diatribe. In it, Evans argued that the child ismoved from “home to home” every two months and is forced to call random men“daddy.” The pair went on to ask fans to fund their legal team so that theycould fight for custody, according to RadarOnline.
The campaign has since been completed. Eason and Evans raised a paltry $135 while the campaign was collecting donations. The fact that they had to utilize GoFundMe to attempt to raise cash, however, raises serious alarm bells about their financial well-being. Fans have long surmised that the couple would struggle financially without Teen Mom 2.
Leedham is pleadingfor help from the online community
OliviaLeedham is begging the online community to help her protect her son fromhis father. In a length GoFundMe bio, Leedham noted that she has been battlingEason in court ever since her son was born. She noted that her goal is to keephim away from Kaden because she fears he is unstable and that the boy could beexposed to violence.
Many of you know this has been a long hard road. I’m finally reaching out for help. Let’s get through this together. If…
Leedham went on toexplain that she and the father of her daughter have a custody agreementoutside of court, in an attempt to prove she is neither vindictive nor bitter.She went on to insist that she’s only thinking about Kaden’s well-being andnoted that the young boy does not want to see his father.
I CANT BELIEVE IT!! Everyone we met our goal!!! We reached our goal in a little over 24 hours!!! I want to give thanks…
Leedham’s campaign hasraised $5,600 so far, although many of the comments and donations seem to beunder falsified names. One commenter noted that donations received under fakenames do not go to the needy party.
Leedham has had a restrainingorder against Eason
While Evans took to socialmedia to attack Leedham’s character, she has little proof of anything shealleges has gone on or is currently happening in the home. Leedham, on theother hand, has had a restraining order against Eason in the past.

In fact, an oldrestraining order protected both Leedham and her young son from Eason.According to TheAshley Reality Roundup Group, the order was granted shortly afterKaden’s birth. Eason allegedly pushed Leedham while pregnant. In a separateincident, he left her stranded in the middle of the road at night. She washeavily pregnant at the time.

Eason was arrested atleast once for violating the order. In 2017 Leedham allowed some contactbetween Kaden and Eason but went back to court in 2018 to ask the judge toreinstate the order of protection for Kaden. Leedham notedEason’s propensity towards violence as the reason to restrict contact.
