Co-host Nessa attempts to have 'an open, healthy conversation' with the 27-year-old, though it doesn't end up smoothly with her walking off set while breaking down in tears after feigning her innocence.

AceShowbiz - Jenelle Evans had a rough moment during "Teen Mom 2" reunion special which aired on Monday, May 20. The TV star, which now has been fired from the MTV show following her husband David Eason's dog-killing scandal, was forced to address her racist comments she once made about Colin Kaepernick and his National Anthem/kneeling controversy.
Dr. Drew's co-host Nessa called her out after Jenelle was being upset with Amber Portwood for talking trash about her family. "I think that's really interesting because you did exactly that to me," Nessa said. When she told her that it had something to do with the hateful comments she posted on social media about Colin, Jenelle insisted that she didn't know what she was talking about.
Even after they showed her the receipts, Jenelle kept acting clueless as she said, "I've never seen that. I honestly have no idea who your boyfriend is." Nessa hit back, "No, [you do]. He's been on set."
"Jenelle, this is an open, healthy conversation that I would like to have with you. Please understand something. My man used his platform to peacefully protest systemic oppression in this country, specifically, police brutality against black people," Nessa continued. "Men, women and children are dying, wrongfully dying, and people who are doing this are not being held accountable. That is the issue."
"It has nothing with military men, military women. OK -- because they fought for our constitution to peacefully protest. All of us. I would have appreciated if you had contacted me. I would have been more than happy, Jenelle, to have a healthy conversation," Nessa added.
Even after the long talk, Jenelle continued to feign innocence as she said, "I don't know anything about your husband. I swear to God." Instead, she broke down in tears and stormed off the studio. "I'm done with this bulls**t," she said. "This is exactly why I didn't f***ing come here. This is why."
"This [was supposed to be] about my storyline. And you want to bring up your issues! You want to bring up 'Teen Mom' to bring up your issues. OK then -- I'm not doing this. You got your show. I'm done," she yelled while walking out. "Everyone, get me the f**k out of her."
At one point, Jenelle was seen throwing away her mic.
Back in April, it was reported that Jenelle walked off set over David's tweets. However, she clarified that it had nothing to do with her husband. "I did get upset during my segment and it wasn't because of David at all... it was because of the host Nessa that got me upset," she said at the time. "I filmed WITH my mom to finish my segment. David had nothing to do with it."
