But some showed support, with ChristinaCBasicB*tch writing, “I just want to shake Nathan’s shoulders and slap him in the face and say ‘GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND GO SAVE YOUR SON!!’” User penguincatcher8575 “Nathan should absolutely do everything he can to at least get his mom to have custody. They are both terrible parents but at least 1 doesn’t pull out loaded guns in front of their son. Jesus.”
User ReginaldDwight “You live in Florida,” they said. “Your son lives in North Carolina and has visitation with your mom in South Carolina. You occasionally see your son on weekends. It took you 6 f*cking months to even pursue custody. You don’t have custody of your first child. You aren’t allowed to be with Kaiser unsupervised. Jenelle being a crazy b*tch doesn’t automatically mean you’re a good parent. You’re a sh*tty, violent absentee parent and your mother is raising Kaiser and your daughter’s grandparents are raising her. F*ck the f*ck off.”

But some think that MTV pointedly chose not to air the footage in order to prevent her from facing more legal problems.
“Could Jenelle actually have charges against her and the footage of her actually pulling the gun and showing it out the window have been subpoenaed for evidence? Therefore they cannot edit/skew/show it in any way whatsoever because of the court case?” wrote miss_chanandlerbong_ on reddit. “Could her lawyers have written to MTV, preventing it?” theorized Nice2meetya2. However, not everyone was convinced.
“She has no charges,” sushiwalrus “If she did there would be multiple articles about it because in NC charges are public. Destruction of property and pulling a gun on someone wouldn’t be a civil suit either it would be criminal so she would have a mugshot. NC makes all mugshots public except maybe mugshots of minors. I’ve seen a 16 year olds mugshot (some guy from math class) but I’m pretty sure he was charged as an adult because it was an armed robbery charge.”
