Tragedy Strikes David Eason’s Family: Ex-Girlfriend’s Young Daughter Passes Away
Oh joy, another celebrity family tragedy to dissect. Because what’s a day without a dose of drama and heartbreak, right? Look, I’m not thrilled about sharing this, but here we are: David Eason, the “Teen Mom” alum, is dealing with a devastating family loss. His ex-girlfriend, Olivia Leedham, recently lost her 7-year-old daughter, Lailah Price, in the hospital. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this kind of thing before, but still, it’s a tragedy.
According to reports, Lailah had been hospitalized multiple times without a diagnosis, and she suffered a seizure on Friday, passing away early Saturday morning. A GoFundMe was set up to help Olivia, a single mom who works as a barber, cover her living expenses. Because, of course, that’s what we do in times of crisis – we turn to crowdfunding. It’s just so… predictable.
Now, let’s get to the complicated part: David Eason’s involvement with Olivia and her family. They dated briefly in 2013, and Eason shares a 10-year-old son, Kaden, with Olivia. She reportedly has sole custody of Kaden following a break-up and a court fight. Because, naturally, that’s how it works – custody battles and drama. Eason also has a daughter with his ex-wife, Jenelle Evans, and their split was marked by allegations of trespassing on Jenelle’s North Carolina property. You know, your typical celebrity family dynamics.
The cause of Lailah’s death wasn’t disclosed, and a funeral is scheduled for this weekend. I suppose it’s worth noting that Olivia had previously made some serious allegations against Eason, claiming he shoved her when she was 8 months pregnant and left her in the middle of the road at night when she was 7 months pregnant. But hey, that’s all in the past, right? Not like it has any bearing on the current situation.
As I wrap this up, I’m left thinking: did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. It’s just another day in the world of celebrity drama and tragedy. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
