Jenelle Evans' husband David Eason is ready to admit he has issues he needs to work on, following a brutal incident that left their family dog Nugget dead.
Eason has apparently come to terms with the fact he has serious anger issues, according to an insider who spoke to TMZ, and is now 'ready' to seek therapy or get into an anger management program.
But the reality person can't undo the damage done to Teen Mom 2, which has lost a number of key sponsors amid the controversy.
Ready for help: David Eason, the husband of Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans, is ready to admit he has serious anger problems and get help following a brutal incident that left their family dog death
Eason has come to terms with the fact that his anger issues are out of control and is ready to get the help he needs. It's said Eason's temper has put him at odds with his wife, who originally appeared on 16 And Pregnant, and had previously admitted that she's 'thought' about divorce.
All the while, MTV is dealing with the fall out from the controversy, even though they already axed David from the show last year for making homophobic and transphobic comments online.
The pet company Greenies was one of the first to take a stand, tweeting: 'We have zero tolerance for animal cruelty. We can now confirm that, as a result of this incident, our GREENIES ads will no longer run during Teen Mom programming.'
Chipotle also announced they were pulling their support, tweeting: 'We are no longer airing our ads during episodes of Teen Mom.'
Dove Chocolate echoed those sentiments, writing, “We in no way condone animal cruelty or the mistreatment of animals. We appreciate your feedback and wanted to share that we have stopped advertising on Teen Mom programming.”
Twix candy echoed the sentiment, writing: We in no way condone animal cruelty or the mistreatment of animals. We appreciate your feedback and wanted to share that we have stopped advertising on Teen Mom programming.'

David admitted to killing the family dog via social media earlier this week.
He defended killing the defenseless animal on social media Wednesday, sharing a video on social media of the small dog being baited to nip the girls face.
Eason took to his HickTownKing Instagram page and posted the clip showing Nugget on the couch with his daughter Ensley who tries to go in for a kiss.
Instead of intervening between the animal, who is clearly uncomfortable as it cowers and pulls away from the little girl, Eason sits across the room and films the dog nip back at the girls face, causing her to cry.
He also shared a photo of a tearful toddler after the incident with a slight red welt on her cheek, the skin having not been broken by the dogs teeth.

'I'm all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission,' he continued.
He wrote: 'Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me. You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge weather or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.'
Eason turned off the comments function on the video post.
People were horrified when the brutal details of the dog murder emerged earlier this week.
The hunting enthusiast was reportedly 'covered in blood' following the vicious killing of their tiny family dog Nugget, according to The Blast.
