Teen Mom star David Eason's ex Olivia Leedham suffers tragedy as daughter Lailah suddenly dies at 7
TEEN Mom star David Eason's ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham's daughter Lailah has died at just 7 years old, The U.S. Sun can report. Olivia, who is the mother of David's 10-year-old son Kaden, suddenly lost the little girl in the hospital on Saturday, June 7, the realtor, hairstylist and fitness model's friend said in a GoFundMe post for the family. 7 7 Lailah "was in the emergency room several times without a diagnosis, and while in the hospital Friday night, she had a seizure and passed away early Saturday morning," OIivia's friend Alice Guy told her loved ones. "Lailah was a bright light in their family and loved life and Jesus very much. " Please keep this family in your prayers as they need them moving forward." Alice started the GoFundMe to help cover living expenses for single mom Olivia during her time of grief. As of Wednesday, June 11, $14,000 has been raised for Olivia's family. 7 7 REMEMBERING LAILAH Olivia, 31, has most recently been living in Naples, Florida with her two children, but is from North Carolina. She has sole custody of Kaden after a court battle with Teen Mom alum David in 2019. David, who recently finalized his divorce from Jenelle Evans, is not the father of Lailah. Though she was once active on social media, Olivia has not spoken out since the horrific tragedy of losing Lailah. According to an obituary, Lailah will be mourned at a funeral service on June 14 in North Carolina. "Lailah's light touched everyone," the obituary reads. "Her kindness, encouragement, and joyful heart were gifts she freely gave. "She reminded us all what it means to love, to cherish, and to be present with one another." SECOND HORRIBLE TRAGEDY Olivia's horrific loss comes after another tragedy in the Teen Mom world. 16 & Pregnant star Whitney Purvis' son Weston Gosa died at just 16 years old earlier this month. "Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don't understand," wrote Whitney, who appeared on the show in 2009. "My baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself." Weston's stepmother Amy Gosa exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the teen suffered from many serious health issues, including type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease and Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. "He had several health issues, so we're thinking it was an underlying issue we didn't know about," Amy said, shutting down rumors Weston died from a drug overdose. "It's very hurtful seeing all the comments saying he died from fentanyl." 7 7

Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans planning sordid act to celebrate divorce
Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans revealed the surprising way she plans on celebrating the end of her decade-long relationship with estranged husband David Eason. While appearing on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, the reality star, 33, shared that she will be marking the end of her marriage by hosting a divorce party at a strip club in New York City. 'I've survived chaos, heartbreak, betrayal and years of public drama, but I'm still standing, stronger than ever,' the TV personality said. 'This divorce is my official reset button and I'm throwing a massive celebration to mark the start of me finally living life on my own terms.' The 'I Do, I Did, I'm Done'-themed bash will be held at Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club on June 12. In February 2024, Evans filed for separation, six years after tying the knot. She said the separation was due to David's 'erratic behavior' as well as claiming that he was suffering from 'substance abuse.' Jenelle later took to her Instagram stories to confirm that she had separated from David. It came shortly after Jenelle allegedly kicked David and his daughter, Maryssa, out of her home, The U.S. Sun reported last year. The claims also came shortly after the TV personality had reunited with her son Jace, - just days after Child Protective Services dropped its case against her and Eason. The teenager had been removed from the North Carolina home after David allegedly attacked him in September 2023. Eason was charged with misdemeanor child abuse and felony strangulation after Jace told doctors that his stepfather had abused him after he attempted to run away. The alleged assault reportedly happened at an acquaintance's home, and it was allegedly captured on video from a Ring doorbell camera. A CPS investigation into the couple was also launched in the wake of the alleged abuse, though Jenelle has said that it was closed. In January, their divorce was dismissed in a North Carolina court, according to documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. MTV famously fired David in 2018 over homophobic and transphobic tweets, and the cable network fired the hot-tempered brunette in 2019 after nine seasons of Teen Mom 2 shortly after he shot and killed their French Bulldog, Nugget. After Evans initially called the Columbus County Sheriff's Office to report that her husband had shot and killed their dog, she subsequently claimed that she had not seen the shooting or seen any evidence that the dog was actually dead. That got police to end the investigation into the killing, only for Eason to admit months later that he had shot and killed the tiny dog, which he claimed had bitten their daughter Ensley Jolie, who was two at the time. Audiences were first introduced to Evans back in 2010 when she appeared in the second season of MTV reality show, 16 and Pregnant.
