Jenelle pretty much summed up her feelings about baby daddy Charles Andrew Lewis in one heartfelt tweet from January 2011: "Did I mention how much I hate jace's father ?! GET A F-ING LIFEEEEEEEEEEEE.”

Andrew - who claims he once worked as a fashion model in New York City - was with the wild teen mom for three years before she became pregnant in late 2008. As he tells it, the first time they met, he walked right up and kissed her. But the young couple was eventually torn apart by Jenelle's infidelity. Though Andrew's name is on Jace's birth certificate, his paternity was in doubt when Jenelle admitted she slept with her friend Stephen Fullwood around the same time her baby was conceived. A paternity test in late 2011 confirmed Andrew was, in fact, the boy's father. But by then, the feud was already in high gear.

On December 29, 2010 Jenelle and her mother, Barbara, had Andrew picked up by the Randolph County (North Carolina) Sheriff's Department and placed into custody for 17 days for failing to pay $2,079.67 in child support. He was released on January 14 and required by the court to make monthly payments of $356.00.

A few weeks later, Andrew came out swinging in a bombshell interview with
In Touch
magazine. “I saw [Jenelle] smoking weed when she was three months pregnant,” he revealed. “Another time, I found speed in her jacket pocket! I tried to make Jenelle understand how bad it was for the baby, but she didn't care. It completely broke my heart. Isn't that disturbing and disgusting? She had no regard for the safety of her unborn child!”

Though Andrew was present for Jace's birth in August 2009, he left shortly after and had no contact with his son until Jenelle approved a Skype session on Christmas Eve 2011. Within a year, Jenelle claimed he had again fallen behind on child support obligations - this time by $7,000. He refused to pay because Jenelle and her mother would not let him see or spend time with the boy.

“I love him and I want him in my life,” Andrew told
In Touch
. “Jenelle has put me through hell, never letting me see our son.” He also said Jenelle “went completely off the deep end” when she learned about his new son, Jacob Michael (b. September 6, 2010), with former girlfriend, Ashley Termini. “She was incredibly mean and said I don't deserve to have kids.”

Jenelle fired back at her ex in a December 2012 interview with
Wetpaint.com
. "I've tried getting a hold of him, but supposedly he lives in Florida and has a new girlfriend and takes care of his girlfriend's baby, and other than that I don't know about Andrew," she said. "He hasn't come to see Jace or anything."

We reached out to Andrew for an interview and received the following response, which he later posted to
Facebook
:

“I do not want anything to do with
(Teen Mom)
or
16 and Pregnant
, that's why you never see me on there. It is degrading, and makes teenagers around the world think it is OK to be young mothers creating this baby boom. Knowing that teenage pregnancy is part of one of the top economical downfalls, [MTV] still intend[s] to promote it, on top of that the media and show itself downgrades the person making the entire world believe that one person is bad, etc.

They don't care much about you, just the ratings and MTV has a heavy hand at editing drama, drama, drama. You do not see me on that show for a reason and that reason is that once you're off that show that's it for you; no more career moves there. You're gonna be stuck known as a teen mom forever. I respect the business, I've worked in it since I was 17, and if I wanted to become famous or more likely "publicly known" Ii would work a hell of a lot harder than just being on a reality TV series which is one of the most lowest ranking spots you can even think of doing in the business. You get no respect from others who worked hard for what they accomplished.

[MTV] takes advantage of teenagers because they want to be on TV, paying them little because the teens do not know the business etiquette. For example, they got like $60,000 a year from what people tell me and when they filmed me for I got $5,000 for every 8 hours of filming that is triple the amount they would get paid annually if they knew how to handle the high tides.

I am in college; I go to Florida State working on my MFA major in film industry. People say I am a drunk loser deadbeat but I am not. I do not drink nor do drugs. I work hard as a full-time student completing my goals I have set in my life.

In conclusion always know what you're getting into. Do your research, learn more. Never jump into things like these teens did, because to me it is not worth it. I've never seen an episode and could care less to do so. I am happy with my life and I have no feeling of how Jenelle went downhill after breaking up with me. She is an adult and she is old enough to make her own decisions and doing that show. When I dated her she was never in trouble with cops, didn't do drugs as [far as] I knew of etc. I kept her boundaries in line.

There you have it.
