Jenelle Evans Rings in Freedom by Smashing Ex’s Piñata at Wild NYC Divorce Bash
Not gonna lie, I’m kinda here for Jenelle Evans’s over-the-top divorce celebration—it’s petty, symbolic and somehow totally liberating. The Teen Mom alum took over Spearmint Rhino in Manhattan last Thursday for what TMZ dubs the ultimate breakup blowout. Jenelle, clad in a curve-hugging red dress, bashed a piñata shaped like David Eason’s head while dollar bills rained down, cake waited onstage, and strippers kept the energy through the roof. It was less a club night and more a dramatic exit from an old life.
Eyewitnesses and TMZ’s exclusive photos show every candy-spewing swing as a statement: the divorce may still be pending, but Jenelle’s move is clear. She told TMZ she’s “lighter” now that David isn’t in her day-to-day stress loop, admitting to fewer sleepless nights and a newfound calm. Fans got the memo: this glow-up is real.
Social media lit up as clips of Jenelle’s piñata-pummeling went viral. Twitter users hailed it as “the breakup party of the year,” while others wondered if any post-divorce bash could top this shade-filled spectacle. Brand partners reportedly slid into her DMs, eager to cash in on the moment. Between confetti, candy, and crafty symbolic revenge, Jenelle proved she knows the ROI of a headline-grabbing stunt.
While the piñata remains the star prop, Jenelle also dropped personal updates. Her son Jace, who’d been living with David during the split, moved back in with her—ending a tense custody saga. On the romance front, she said she’s open to marriage again but only with a prenup. “I learned my lesson,” she told TMZ, casually reminding everyone that boundaries are non-negotiable this time.
Fans will remember Jenelle filed for separation over a year ago, citing David’s erratic behavior, alleged substance misuse, refusal to work, and that infamous 2019 episode when he shot their French bulldog, Nugget. Legal experts note that while smashing a piñata won’t sway the divorce decree, it sure sends a message that Jenelle’s reclaiming her narrative. Court filings from late 2023 list exploitation and cruelty as grounds for separation, and so far, David’s camp hasn’t clapped back on the pummeling of his likeness—yet.
On the business side, Jenelle teased upcoming hosting gigs and brand collabs, even name-dropping new BFF Farrah Abraham, who tried standup at the same club back in March. All in all, this divorce party was part catharsis, part marketing masterstroke, and entirely a headline magnet. Anyway, that’s the tea. Do with it what you will.
