"Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans is considering divorce after her husband killed her French bulldog after it allegedly attacked their two-year-old daughter, Ensley Eason.
"At this time, we are dealing with this rough situation. I want to focus on what's best for me and my kids," Evans told Us Weekly Wednesday in an interview she also linked to from her verified Twitter account. "(Divorce is) in thoughts, but nothing is finalized."
David Eason, 30, posted a video on Instagram Wednesday of Evans' dog, Nugget, snapping at their toddler and making her cry. He also shared a picture of what appears to be a red bite mark on her right cheek.
"I dont (sic) give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face... whether it be your dog or mine," Eason wrote. "I'm all about protecting my family, it is my lifes (sic) mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me."
Evans told Us Weekly her husband "took [Nugget] and shot her in the woods."
Evans, who stars on MTV's "Teen Mom 2" and formerly "16 and Pregnant," said she was "distraught" and "heartbroken" over Nugget's death.
"I love you so much and I'm so sorry. I'm speechless," the reality star, 27, wrote in a tribute posted on Instagram. "You were my side kick and knew the moment I felt bad and would cuddle with me. You still had a lot to learn and a lot to grow from your lessons. ... You're gone forever and there's no coming back."
The Columbus County Sheriff's Department told USA TODAY in a statement that officers were dispatched to the couple's home in Riegelwood, North Carolina Tuesday evening to perform a welfare check after receiving "complaints concerning an incident involving an animal at this location."
"The deputy confirmed that the occupants of this residence were OK. There was no evidence to substantiate further investigation," the statement said, adding that officers referred the complaint to the Columbus County Animal Control.
Evans and Eason tied the knot on Sept. 23, 2017, after welcoming their daughter Ensley on Jan. 24, 2017.
