The ex-fiancé of Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, 32, has made some shocking allegations about her ex, husband David Eason. Nathan Griffith sat down in an exclusive interview with the U.S. Sun to talk about the kind of treatment that his son Kaiser, whom he shares with Jenelle, received while in the care of her and David, claiming that the 10-year-old boy was abused and “neglected” by them.

He believes Kaiser would get disciplined for things Jace would do to their younger sister, Ensley..
“When they were younger, Kaiser told me Jace threw a rock and hit Ensley in the head and blamed Kaiser, and Kaiser got the living crap beat out of him for it,” he told the U.S. Sun. “If Kaiser did anything [to Ensley]….and this is how sick and demonic this stuff is. Ensley kept on messing with him and hitting him and pinching him, so Kaiser pinched her back.
“Ensley didn’t get in trouble, but David supposedly reached around pinched him as hard as he could and made him bleed on the arm, and he has a scar on his shoulder from him,” Nathan added.
Nathan said his son was 'punched' by David on multiple occasions.
“Kaiser told me David punched him in the face several times,” Nathan added in his claims. He also believes that his son developed an underbite due to David punching the child in the jaw when he was 2.
These aren’t the first claims of abuse, as David is facing charges of child abuse and strangulation for an incident that took place in 2023 involving Jenelle’s eldest, Jace. The case was moved to superior court in January 2024, according to InTouch, via Yahoo! Entertainment. “They found enough evidence to take his case out of district court, where misdemeanors are held, and bring it to superior.”

Nathan addressed the neglect and abuse allegations in a text to Jenelle.
“If you weren’t so prideful, you should have left him in my care a long, long time ago,” he said. “Besides letting that monster put his hands on my son, which makes you a monster because you are allowing all this to happen… You’re going to screw this kid over for the rest of his life, and you don’t care.”
He then told the news outlet that the reason he called her a monster is because “she was allowing that to happen to my son.”
Jenelle responded.
Jenelle denied ever witnessing the claims of abuse in a phone call she took with her manager (who is now her boyfriend) August Keen.
“Kaiser has an underbite because everyone in my family, my sister had an underbite, and it just needed to be fixed. So that is not true, and also other allegations about abuse, I’ve been checked out for abuse 70 times,” she told the U.S. Sun. “Nathan was involved with those cases, and he knows exactly what was brought up, and he knows exactly what happened, and so nothing happened.”
Her boyfriend said she wasn't denying the abuse claims.
“Denial is not the right word. Jenelle is in the middle of things that she is unaware of,” August interjected, per the U.S. Sun. “Ultimately, she doesn’t know 100% if David pinched Kaiser, she doesn’t know that 1,000%, so I don’t think she’s denying it. I think she’s put in the middle of these things, and that’s why David is facing child abuse charges as we speak.
“Like, if David did really do those things, he’s facing the consequences now,” August continued. “I mean, the guy is in a s— ton of trouble, he’s facing strangulation charges against Jace and what goes around comes around. And I’m sure if she knew that 100% she probably would have reacted the same way as she reacted towards the situation with Jace.”
Nathan believes all of Jenelle's kids have been exposed to drugs.
In a previous interview with the U.S. Sun, Nathan revealed that he believes all of Jenelle’s children have been exposed to drugs.
‘”What gets me is if he ends up in jail or ends up doing something serious, who’s gonna get the blame? The parents can’t get blamed, and that’s what sucks. I’m gonna tell you, 99% of kids who get in trouble and kids who are a certain way are because of the parents.” he said. “So now my kid is gonna look like he’s this bad kid, or this bad adult now and it’s not his fault. He’s just trying to figure out life the best he knows, because of the tools that were given to him and it’s unfortunate.”
