Many found David’s treatment of the children to be unsettling, but his angry outbursts were just the beginning of the controversy from the episode.
“Jenelle and David drinking and driving?” wrote reddit user cuziamgointobeFAMOUS. They attached images of Jenelle and David’s car, as well as a shot from inside their cabin rental. In an image from the car, there appears to be an empty glass bottle sitting in the cup holder. In the image from the cabin, it’s clear that Jenelle and David have a case of Corona beer. Though there is only the implication, fans were furious to think that David and Jenelle might be drinking and driving with their young children.
The behavior is uncharacteristic of the couple, given their recent outrage at Barbara Evans for a similar incident.

In one Teen Mom 2 episode, Jenelle vents about her mother Barbara’s drinking habits. She complains to a producer, Kristin, that she has concerns that Barbara has gotten behind the wheel after having drinks.
Jenelle vents, “You know how I’ve been trying to see Jace. Well, last weekend, I said, ‘Can I have Jace?’ And [Barbara said], ‘You should have called me earlier during the day. I have plans with my friends, and it’s Cinco de Mayo.’”
She continues, “So we get in the car, and we’re going to the Mexican restaraunt. And when David was inside, he saw her drinking wine, and David took pictures from far away; my mom didn’t see him…So then I went in there, and I was like, ‘Hey! You were drinking, and now you’re about to drive!’ And [Barbara said] ‘I had one sip of my wine, they just put it on the table.’”
