'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Cleared in Child Abuse Criminal Investigation

Jenelle Evans has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing in a child abuse investigation ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Jenelle's baby daddy, Nathan, triggered the investigation by telling cops their son, Kaiser, would repeatedly come to his house with bruises. Nathan thought the bruises were at the hands of Jenelle's husband, David Eason.

Social workers from the Dept. of Social Services visited Jenelle's home late last month and determined there was no abuse. We don't know how they determined the nature and cause of the bruises.

We've learned the Columbus County Sheriff's Office has just cleared both Jenelle and David of any impropriety.

When Nathan filed the police report, he also tried to wrestle custody away from Jenelle and refused to return Kaiser to her, but that was short-lived ... authorities ordered him to return the child to his mother.

It's not the first time this summer Jenelle has been involved in family controversy. Just last month, Jenelle brandished a handgun in a road rage incident with her other son riding shotgun.

LIFE ISN'T FAIR-RAH

Our camera was rolling when Farrah -- with Sophia in tow -- arrived at court. She described the legal drama as a case of bullying courtesy of ... Beverly Hills.

We also talked to her about "Mob Wives" star Drita D'Avanzo calling her out for being too scared to box her. Farrah does a 'lil bobbing and weaving.

Drita D'Avanzo Farrah Wouldn't Fight Me 'Cause ... She's a Scared Little Bitch!!!

Drita D'Avanzo was dead set on rearranging Farrah Abraham's face, but Farrah backed out 'cause getting mangled in a celebrity boxing match was just too much to handle ... this according to Drita.

Drita tells TMZ ... Farrah's camp reached out to her manager about making her the opponent for a celebrity boxing match. ICYMI ... Farrah had said she would be interested in fighting Kim Kardashian or even the "Mob Wives" star.

After getting called out on social media, Drita responded saying she'd be down to fight "in a #cage where u belong u filthy #animal." Shortly after that post, Farrah rescinded the offer ... reportedly saying bullies aren't allowed in the ring with her.

But, Drita tells a different story ... saying Farrah called up the event promoter and expressed she was too scared after hearing what Drita wanted to do to her -- punch her squarely in the face for the knockout. Drita says she's pissed and annoyed at losing out on the chance.

Farrah's instead gonna fight 'Flavor of Love' star Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander. As far as Drita's concerned ... Farrah's lucky she went with someone besides her.

No love lost, obviously.

DON'T BLAME MOMMY
TMZ.com

Farrah Abraham says if you're looking for the real villain in "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans' gun incident ... you should start with the people who put the show on the air.

The 'Teen Mom' alum was leaving Mastro's in Bev Hills Friday night when asked about Jenelle's road rage video, and while she thinks what Evans did was wrong ... she believes MTV producers and its parent company, Viacom, are just as culpable for putting the cast in harm's way.

Farrah adds that Ryan Edwards' issues with drugs are another example of the production team being complicit in illegal behavior ... and wonders if their goal is to ruin lives.

Speaking of illegal acts ... Farrah also goes off on the latest Donald Trump Walk of Fame star vandal, saying he should be in jail and the haters need to get over it.

Bad news Farrah -- he's definitely not in jail ... and a lot of people aren't getting over it.

BIG CONSEQUENCES
TMZ.com

Nancy Grace thinks the lack of self-control and recklessness shown by Jenelle Evans during a fit of road rage could land her in legal hot water ... and even cost her her child.

We got the 'Crime Stories' host at LAX and asked for her take on the "Teen Mom 2" star whipping out a gun in her car with her 8-year-old son beside her. Nancy blasts Jenelle for putting her child in danger ... and believes it might lead to criminal charges and her kid being taken away.

And, much like the other driver in the road rage incident ... Grace says the situation could have been much worse, and it's ridiculous Jenelle didn't use better judgment as a parent.

We broke the story ... Jenelle's ex feels the same way as Nancy, and believes Evans' dangerous behavior proves he should have custody of their 4-year-old son, Kaiser.

Jenelle Evans' Ex Road Rage Shows She's Dangerous ... I Want Custody of Our Kid!!!

COULD HAVE BEEN WAY WORSE
TMZ.com

Jenelle Evans keeping a loaded gun in her car -- in reach of her children -- proves she's not using sound judgment as a parent and doesn't deserve to have custody ... so says her ex and 2nd baby daddy.

We spoke with Nathan Griffith -- who shares 4-year-old Kaiser with Jenelle -- and he tells us he's incredibly concerned for his kid's safety in light of Jenelle's recently aired road rage incident on "Teen Mom 2."

He believes the video shows her kids are being raised in an unstable and hostile environment ... so his fight to get custody of Kaiser is well justified.

There's also this ... Nathan actually sides with Jenelle's husband, David Eason, who berated her for following someone home and confronting them. Nathan says it could've turned into a bloodbath, which is true ... 'cause the other driver told us he was armed.

Bottom line for Nathan ... Jenelle's apparent lack of proper gun safety around her 8-year-old son tells a much bigger story -- she's unfit as a parent, and his son would be better off with him.

'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Other Driver in Road Rage Incident Says ... She's Lucky She's Still Alive

Jenelle Evans didn't know who the hell she was dealing with in her road rage incident when she whipped out her gun, and she's lucky she didn't get her head blown off ... so says the other driver.

Robert Robinson Jr. -- the guy in the truck in the crazy video with Evans -- tells TMZ ... the "Teen Mom 2" star was the one who started acting crazy on the highway, so he admits he brake-checked her to try and chill her out.

He says once he saw Jenelle pull down his dirt road to follow him home in a rage, he alerted all his neighbors someone was coming -- neighbors who are like family to him ... and are all armed.

Robinson had a gun in his truck too, and tells us he only pulls it out to protect himself ... and shoots to kill. But he says he exercised restraint once he saw she had a kid in the SUV.

As we reported ... Evans didn't exercise restraint ... because she pulled her gun while her 8-year-old son sat beside her.

BRINGING THE HEAT
MTV

Jenelle Evans whipped out a handgun -- while her son was riding shotgun, btw -- and brandished it at a driver she says cut her off during a road rage incident.

MTV aired video of the incident on Monday night's "Teen Mom 2" and it shows Jenelle slam on her brakes suddenly, start yelling at the other driver ... and then reach for her gun under the driver's seat, and place it in her lap. Remember, her 8-year-old son, Jace, is sitting right next to her.

Jenelle stopped and got into an argument with the guy, yelling, "You were tailgating me, you dumbass!!"

According to the other driver, Jenelle followed him to his house and drove into his mailbox. He then appeared to make contact with Jenelle's vehicle, and that's when she pulled the gun.

MTV opted not to air video of her brandishing the gun during the April incident -- but it's clear they have the footage.

Police showed up -- Jenelle and the other driver dialed 911 -- but no arrests were made due to conflicting stories and lack of witnesses.

'Teen Mom' Ryan Edwards Busted for Drugs 2nd Time in 4 Months

Ryan was arrested Monday in Hamilton County, Tennessee on an active warrant from a previous drug case. According to jail records, the charge is possession of a controlled substance, and no bail has been set.

This is the second arrest this year for the 'Teen Mom' dad. As we reported ... he was arrested in March on a warrant for violating probation.

Sarah Palin
ANYTHING FOR BRISTOL!
TMZ.com

Sarah Palin's proud as heck of her daughter, Bristol, joining the cast of "Teen Mom OG" ... and doesn't rule out making an appearance or 2 herself.

We got the former Vice Presidential candidate at LAX Friday and asked about her family getting back into the reality TV biz. She tells us her daughter's going to be perfect for the show, because she has a great message ... and a good forum to tell her story now.

Palin makes it pretty clear she's not the biggest 'Teem Mom' fan, but that doesn't mean she's against being part of the show ... if Bristol needs her. And, unlike Farrah Abraham, she doesn't seem too concerned about any political bias.

The new season with Bristol fires up on MTV this fall ... so Sarah's still got some time to catch up on the storylines.

Farrah Abraham Shocked Bristol's Doing 'Teen Mom' ... Show's Not Trump-Friendly

Farrah
HER??
TMZ.com

Farrah Abraham thinks Bristol Palin's in for a huge shock on "Teen Mom OG" because her conservative views will not be welcome around producers.

The 'Teen Mom' alum tells us she's not surprised Bristol wanted to come on board the popular MTV series -- but, she is shocked the show's producers sought her out. Farrah referred to the showrunners as the "Trump Hate Cult."

Farrah tells us she's concerned for the safety of Bristol and her family because of politics, and she's not even convinced it will make for good TV. In fact, she's not impressed at all with Bristol's story or what she'll bring to the table.

She does have a better option than Bristol in mind, though -- someone who already has experience.

Farrah Abraham Hands Off Dead Dog to Taxidermist

Farrah Abraham's beloved Pomeranian, Blue, died suddenly Wednesday -- but her pooch will have an afterlife ... stuffed on a shelf.

Farrah and her daughter, Sophia, boxed up Blue's corpse Thursday and handed it to a taxidermist who will freeze dry then stuff the dog into a sitting position.

In a social media send-off Farrah called the pooch her "right hand man through everything" as she navigated the life of a single mom, which explains why she's not ready to let him go.

In the immortal words of Will Ferrell ... You're her boy, Blue!!!

Bristol Palin I'm the New 'Teen Mom' ... Joins Next Season's Cast

The folks who produce 'Teen Mom' know what sells ... because TMZ has learned Bristol Palin is joining "Teen Mom OG."

Production sources tell us, Sarah Palin's daughter has signed on as a regular on the show. It appears she's helping to fill the void left by another famous cast member -- Farrah Abraham -- who was fired for being way too difficult. She disputes that, and says she got the axe because she was a porn star.

As you know, Bristol -- now 27 -- has 3 kids and was famously engaged to Levi Johnston. She eventually married Dakota Meyer, whom she's in the process of divorcing. She was 17 when her first kid, Tripp, was born.

Bristol will join cast members Amber Portwood, McKenzie McKee, Maci Bookout and Catelynn Lowell.

The season fires up on MTV this Fall.

Hulk Hogan. Ultimate Warrior. The chick from 'Backdoor Teen Mom.'

Yes, Farrah Abraham has dreams of becoming a professional wrestler -- and tells TMZ Sports she's got her sights set on squaring off with some of the biggest names in WWE.

FYI, the former MTV star recently inked a deal with World Class Revolution Pro Wrestling -- but, it appears to be more of a promotional thing than an actual wrestling contract.

Still, when we saw Farrah at the Syndicate L.A. party at Jimmy Goldstein's home on Monday night ... she seemed excited about the possibility of throwing down at some point.

"I would probably choose Alexa Bliss or maybe the Bella Twins," Farrah said ... "I think those ladies are great."

She also claims to be a HUGE wrestling fan -- and says a match with Stone Cold Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan would be a dream come true.

There's one WWE superstar Farrah's afraid of ... for a good reason.

Farrah Abraham's seen the last of Drita D'Avanzo's face ... Farrah doesn't run in pathetic circles and that's why Drita's slap to the face will NEVER come to fruition.

Farrah tells TMZ ... the ex-'Teen Mom' OG star has zero plans to ever be near the likes of the former "Mob Wives" star, and the reason's simple ... Farrah doesn't ever want to associate with someone like her. As Farrah put it, "I don't see pathetic people."

As we reported ... the reality stars are beefing after Farrah called out Drita on Instagram. Farrah tells us Drita's "lack of professionalism started it" when Drita bailed after dinner for the event they were supposed to co-host in Atlantic City. Drita reportedly said she was there and no one paid attention to Farrah.

Farrah scoffs at the notion she's an unknown. She says, "I'm sure she's not invited to the ESPYs."

As for reports her lawyers are gunning for a restraining order ... Farrah tells us the only thing her lawyers have fired off is a cease and desist to get Drita to stop making threats against her.

7/3 6:27 AM PT -- Drita tells TMZ ... "She already backed down by getting a lawyer involved with the restraining order bulls**t. Tell that pig I'm going to call her people and book an appearance for her at my house! I'll pay her the 2 hrs even though her appearance will last about a minute."
