Kailyn Lowryis speaking out against her formerTeen Mom 2costarJenelle Evansafter she and husband David Easonlost custodyof their three children.
In an exclusive joint statement to PEOPLE with herCoffee Convospodcast co-host Lindsie Christie, Lowry said she believes Child Protective Service’s removal of the children from the couple’s custody is in their “best interest.”
“We’ve been cautious when speaking on the issues regarding the Evans/Eason family until we had enough details to speak on the matter. The most important part of this situation & most concerning to us as fellow mothers is the safety of the children,” Lowry and Christie said. “After hearing the state of the home & things CPS uncovered, it is in the best interest of the children to remain outside of Jenelle and David Eason’s care. Wishing them nothing but the best & hoping all parties involved get the help they need to move forward.”
On Tuesday, E! Newsreportedthat a judge temporarily ruled that the formerTeen Mom 2star and Eason will not regain custody of her kids.

The couple shares daughter Ensley, 2. Evans, 27, is also mom to sons Jace, 9 with exAndrew Lewis), andKaiser, 4 (with ex Nathan Griffith).
Multiple people testified against the couple, including Griffith, throughout four days in court,according toTMZ. The judge ultimately made the ruling after they determined that there were issues with Evans and Eason that put the children at risk, TMZ reported.
Currently, Eason’s daughter Maryssa is in the custody of her mother Whitney Johnson, according to E! News.
“We have no comment at this time and appreciate the concerns regarding our client and her children,” Evans’ rep continued. “We will continue to cooperate with the court and their decisions.”

After Eason allegedly shot and killed Evans dog for biting their toddler, Lowry called his actions “disgusting.”
“I have refrained from commenting on the disturbing situation involving David Eason and Jenelle Evans while I wrapped my head around the murder of Nugget,” Lowry, 27, wrote in a statement posted to Instagram at the time. “To say I am disgusted and appalled over David’s actions doesn’t begin to touch on my true feelings.”
