Jenelle Evans is opening up about the physical abuse she has endured in her past relationships. The Teen Mom 2 star recalled a shocking story with one of her boyfriends in her new memoir Read Between the Lines: Diary of a Teenage Mom.

"Gary had a lot of anger issues and my history of taking such abuse led to a dangerous mix," she wrote. "We started getting into fights about any little thing. He even proposed to me once during an argument."

Her ex-boyfriend reportedly popped the question after dating for around six or seven months.

"I was so used to f***ed up relationships I was willing to put up with his short fuse just to have someone in my life," Evans wrote. "All of that came to an end when he finally snapped and laid hands on me during an argument."

The physical altercation happened after Head wanted to go to a club without Evans. The MTV starlet attempted to call Head and a woman answered his phone. When Evans went to the club to confront him, Head was surrounded by a number of other women, Radar Online reports.

When they got back home, Evans discovered texts on his phone where Head had reportedly invited other women back to the condo.

"He grabbed my phone and threw it against the wall, destroying it and with all my chances of calling my friends or family for help," she wrote.

"He started screaming at me and I kept on crying. The next thing I knew, I couldn't breathe. Gary had attacked me. He jumped from the bed, looped his blanket around my throat and pulled it tight. He kept screaming at me to stop crying while choking me the whole time. Just when I thought I was going to pass out, or even outright die, he finally released me."

After trying to defend herself by punching Head in the back, Evans says that he began to hit her "over and over and over."

"I ended up with bruises everywhere," she wrote. "I don't know how long he would've gone on hitting me if the police hadn't arrived."

Both Evans and Head were arrested for the domestic fight.
