Is it time to celebrate when a serial abuser gets a second chance? That’s the question fans are asking after Teen Mom 2’s resident bad boy Nathan Griffith just had his parole approved, and honey, the internet is DIVIDED.
The Nevada Department of Corrections just gave the greenlight to Jenelle Evans’ notoriously problematic ex, who’s been serving 14-48 months for strangling his girlfriend Anastasia back in April 2025. And before you think this was a one-time oopsie, think again—this marks Nathan’s THIRD domestic violence arrest involving strangulation. Yes, you read that right. Third. Time’s the charm? We don’t think so, but apparently the parole board disagrees with us.
For those living under a rock, Nathan has been a walking red flag wrapped in a neon sign since his Teen Mom 2 days. From his toxic relationship with Jenelle to his inability to keep his hands to himself, this man has been serving us drama, tears, and honestly, some deeply concerning behavior. The fact that he’s got a pattern of strangling partners isn’t just a mistake—it’s a lifestyle choice that screams danger.
The prison hearing video has already made the rounds online, and let’s just say Nathan’s puppy dog eyes aren’t convincing anyone who actually pays attention. Fans are absolutely LOSING IT on social media, with some questioning how the parole board could possibly think this guy is reformed after such a short stint. Others are worried sick about his potential victims once he hits the streets.
What really gets us is the audacity. This isn’t some first-time offender who made one bad choice. This is a pattern of behavior that suggests Nathan has some serious issues he needs to work through—the kind that require actual therapy, not a parole board rubber stamp.
Jenelle Evans, bless her chaotic soul, has stayed relatively quiet on the matter, but you know she’s watching this situation like a hawk. After everything she’s been through with Nathan, she’s probably grateful he’ll be doing his time somewhere other than in her backyard drama.
One thing’s for sure: Nathan Griffith’s release is going to shake up the Teen Mom 2 universe all over again, and we are NOT here for it.
What do you think? A) Nathan deserves a second chance and should be released B) The parole board made a dangerous mistake
