Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans’ husband, David Eason, just confirmed he did, in fact, kill their dog Nugget.

David says he wasn’t willing to pay someone to euthanize Nugget when he could just do it himself, shudder.

Hey there, it’s the update about Jenelle Evans and David Eason you never asked for! In case you need a reminder due to successfully blocking out this entire thing (sorry), David recently made the worst kinda headlines for allegedly murdering Jenelle’s dog Nugget after she bit their daughter, which resulted in the couple temporarily losing custody of their kids.

But here’s the kicker: Jenelle was then accused of faking the entire thing for publicity, and now David’s out here with a brand-new statement saying he did, in fact, murder Nugget.

“This was something that nobody wants to ever have to do,” he told People. “The dog was aggressive. Yes, she might not be huge or whatever, but you know when a dog bites a child on the face more than one time, then it should never be around the child again. If you give the dog up for adoption, one day it’s going to be around children again.”

Sure, yes, but here’s where things get !!! “If you call the authorities at that point, the law says the dog has to be euthanized,” he continued. “I’m not going to pay anyone to euthanize my dog when I could do it myself.”

TRULY, WHAT.

“I mean, I loved that dog,” he mused. “I still think about her every day. It’s really hard for me. A lot of people put me down for it, they hate me for it, but like I said, it was not something I wanted to do.”

Guess this means Jenelle did not fake Nugget’s murder for publicity (she strongly denies it), but as a reminder, a news release from the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office said this: “The evidence collected indicates that the allegations of animal cruelty were fabricated. Therefore, Columbus County Sheriff’s Office is closing this investigation. No charges will be filed in this case.”
