Confession: Evans has admitted she did test positive for THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, after giving birth to daughter Ensley, pictured, in January 2017
This comes after Evans admitted that she did test positive for THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, after giving birth to her daughter Ensley in January 2017.
However, the mother of three told Vince Russo’s The Brand podcast last week that while she tested positive, her baby girl did not.
She spoke about how she’d had a visit from Child Protective Services and had acknowledged that she had smoked cannabis within 30 days of giving birth.

‘I said I have really bad esophageal spasms and I throw up every 5 minutes, I can’t even eat,’ Jenelle recalled. ‘And they said, ‘Okay, some moms do that. We are not here to judge, we are writing down your information.”
She went on: ‘After I had Ensley they said CPS will just come by to do a check since you tested positive. They came and did a checkup and everything is fine. They closed the case.’
She denied she still uses drugs and says that while CPS has come by her home ‘like 30 times’, most of that is as a result of ‘haters online saying that I abuse my kids.’
