Jenelle Evans Thought Dog Chasing Fireworks Video Was ‘Innocent’, Not Sorry
Reality star Jenelle Evans is reportedly not sorry about taping her dog chasing fireworks on July 4.
TMZ reports that the Teen Mom star did not see anything wrong with the video and thought it “was innocent.”
According to the report, Jenelle opened up about the incident and even claimed that she saw the same thing done on an episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos.
“Jenelle tells TMZ that it was all a misunderstanding after letting her dog, Jax, play fetch with a lit firework during her party in Myrtle Beach. On a video she posted of the stunt, it sounds like she tells Jax to fetch the firework — and that’s what got people pissed.”
On Monday, Jenelle Evans tweeted a link to an AFV Facebook video of a small dog running around with a firework in its mouth as the family watches and laughs. Along with the link, Evans posted a short message that was apparently aimed at the critics of her own video.

Even though Jenelle deleted the original post of her controversial video, TMZ reports that she is not sorry about allowing her dog to play with explosives.
“She insists the dog is fine, and she’d pull the same stunt next July.”
Based on many of the responses and reactions posted on Twitter, it is apparently clear that not everyone felt Jenelle’s video was “innocent.”
I’ve always thought Jenelle Evans was gross & this proves it. Why would anyone let their dog fetch & play with a lit firework. #worstmom

Jenelle Evans responded to quite a few tweets on Monday to some of her supporters, as well as some of her harshest critics.
@raelhunt why should kids be allows to hold sparklers? Why should dogs be allowed out if while camping and making fires for example?

According to TMZ, the only reason that Jenelle Evans was sorry was because her video offended people.
