If you follow her on any social media platform (with the possible exception of OnlyFans, where she tends to be all “business”), you know that Jenelle Evans is plagued by a list of health problems that would rival that of any nursing home resident.
Name a body part, and Jenelle is afflicted by some sort of ailment there.
She’s complained about issues with her neck, back, esophagus, stomach … the list goes on and on (and on and on).
Evans says she’s consulted with the top experts and after countless tests, they remain baffled as to the cause and nature of her condition.
Of course, they might find it easier to diagnose her if she told them that she’s a very heavy drinker.
Now, some have gone so far as to label Jenelle an alcoholic.
Given the amount of booze she swills on TikTok and the number of “drunk misunderstandings” that have resulted in the cops being called to her home, it’s not hard to see how they might have reached this conclusion.
But, it’s not fair to diagnose a public figure you’ve never met with a serious condition.
Besides, Jenelle has an army of doctors to do her diagnosing for her.
So we won’t go so far as to call Jenelle an addict.
But it’s worth noting that after being diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease that affects her digeston, Jenelle decided to change her drinking habits … by switching from beer to wine.
In a blog post entitled “So maybe I’m a wino now [smiley face emoji],” the 30-year-old mother of three wrote about how excited she is to be making “healthier choices.”
“With all my health issues happening my stomach and esophagus have not been agreeing with me. Since possibly having Myasthenia Gravis, there’s a huge diet and foods to avoid that can trigger GI symptoms and/or problems,” Evans began the blog post.
“I think since I started drinking beer back in 2015, it’s never settled too well in my stomach but I would literally power through the next day.”
Yes, it’s important never listen to your body, especially when your body is telling you to stop getting hammered all the time.
“Since switching to wine, my stomach has been a lot calmer and my burping also has decreased significantly! Super happy I’m making healthier choices for myself,” Jenelle added
On TikTok, Jenelle happily informed fans that wine “still gets [her] drunk” which makes sense, since it’s got like three times the alcohol of beer.
Anyway, switching from beer to wine for “health” reasons is objectively hilarious, but the funniest part of this story is that Jenelle hasn’t even stuck to her no-beer pledge.
In a TikTok posted earlier this week, Jenelle can be seen riding in an ATV with husband David Eason.
And according to UK tabloid The Sun, viewers were quick to spot Evans’ favorite prop — an open can of beer.
“Jenelle is constantly living and making up bullh-t about how she doesn’t drink or drink beer anymore because of her made up health issues and so on,” one Reddit user commented.
“I thought she switched to wine for her health,” another remarked.
“F–king alcoholics. If she ends up paralyzed it’ll be from them drunk driving, not from a cyst,” a third chimed in, referring to one of Jenelle’s many health issues.
“She’s going to suck her esophagus right out,” a fourth wrote, referring to yet another ailment.
Jenelle has admitted to being an alcoholic in the past, saying:
“When I was younger I drank so much liquor. You can call me an alcoholic when I was younger.”
But she claims that these days, the problem is well behind her.
Clearly, the folks who follow her on TikTok would beg to differ!
