The scene depicted Evans’ three children begging the couple to feed them while the they had their “Save the Date” photos. Kaiser almost knocked over the photographer’s camera during the shoot, and Evans yelled at him, “Holy f–k dude!”
Eason then is shown grabbing the child’s arm and carrying him to a play area.
Evans has defended the scene, saying MTV‘s editing shined a false light on to the couple’s parenting.
