Former ‘Teen Mom’ Dad David Eason Served with Restraining Order by Ex-Girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole
Another day, another restraining order filed against David Eason.
The Ashley can exclusively reveal that the fired Teen Mom 2 dad was served a Domestic Violence Protective Order on Thursday, which was filed by his now ex-girlfriend
Kenleigh Heatwole. According to court records obtained by The Ashley, Kenleigh went before a North Carolina judge on Monday to obtain the restraining order against David, explaining that he had been verbally abusing her, as well as showing up to her home at odd hours of the night to disturb her peace and sleep, and more since their breakup.
As The Ashley previously reported, Kenleigh— who began dating David shortly after he was dumped by his wife Jenelle Evans— broke up with David last month. David had been shacking up at Kenleigh’s home for the majority of their year-plus relationship, which put her in a difficult spot when she tried to kick him out of her home. (David responded to her putting all of his stuff into her shed by motorcycling like a maniac in front of her home…as you do.)
The judge approved the protective order until October 6, which is when Kenleigh and David will have to go to court to see if the judge will extend the order, and if so, how long.
David will be showing his mug several times next week at the courthouse, as he has a scheduled custody hearing on Monday to battle Jenelle over custody of their daughter, Ensley.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans are aware, this is not the only active protective order against David in the state of North Carolina. Jenelle currently has one out on him that forbids her former swampy soulmate from contacting her. That protective order is in effect until at least December 2026.
In addition, there is currently a protective order against David for Jenelle’s eldest son Jace. David is facing some serious criminal charges for allegedly strangling his former stepson in 2023 and a restraining order has been in effect since early 2024 forbidding David from going near or contacting Jace. That protective order will stay in place likely at least until David’s trial is over in January 2026.
As for what will happen to David’s stuff, a Sherrif will likely have to escort David onto Kenleigh’s property to retrieve his things, which Kenleigh has stated is all in a shed on her land.
Kenleigh and David have not yet publicly commented on the protective order.
The Ashley will continue to update this story. Stay tuned…
Cory Wharton Says Daughter Maya’s Open-Heart Procedure Has Inspired Him to Give Back to Families in Need
Cory Wharton says his three-year-old daughter Maya’s latest open-heart surgery has inspired him to give back to other children and families, noting that his charitable efforts are “a far cry from MTV.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Cory and ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge’s daughter Maya, who was born with a rare form of heart disease called tricuspid atresia, recently underwent her final open-heart surgery called the Fontan. Two weeks after the surgery, Taylor– who also shares daughter Mila with Cory– told fans that the procedure had improved Maya’s oxygenation levels, as well as her overall coloring.
(According to the Cleveland Clinic website, a Fontan procedure “improves circulation in people who have only one working heart ventricle. This problem happens because of one of several congenital heart diseases. The Fontan procedure lets oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of your body go straight to your pulmonary artery– and then lungs– for oxygen instead of going through your heart first.”)
Cory revealed to TMZ this week that, while Maya’s surgery was successful and she was ultimately discharged from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles after a two-week recovery, he realizes that some families aren’t as fortunate.
“I was just happy that we were able to leave the Children’s Hospital, because there’s a lot of families there that they’re not gonna leave, they’re waiting a year or two for a heart transplant,” he said. “ … It’s sad man, walking around there, but there were people in that building that found a way to smile and … just by talking to them over time, I was just like, these people are staying positive when they’re at their lowest and it was crazy for me to see and experience.”
Cory went on to say that the recent experience has inspired him to find ways to help those in need.
“I’m just so thankful to God that we made it out of the hospital, my daughter’s fine and now the biggest thing for me is, like, I’m trying to give back,” he said. “I wanna do whatever I can to try to help out [at] Children’s Hospital or [with] young ones that are in need.
“I wanna give back a little bit … it’s a far cry from MTV, but I wanna try to do something positive with what I got going now,” he added.
As you may remember, Cory and Taylor previously shared that they learned about Maya’s heart condition when Taylor was about 22 weeks pregnant, at which point they were told that Maya would need a series of procedures due to the condition. At just six days old, Maya had a stent put in place; later that year, Maya– then seven-months-old– underwent her first open-heart surgery, during which she suffered some complications.
Taylor shared this month that Maya should not need any more open-heart surgeries in her lifetime; and if she does, it would not be until adulthood.
