'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans: Fight Tape Sold for $45K

'Teen Mom 2' star Jenelle Evans landed in some hot water this week when she was arrested for a brutal brawl. She now claims that the girl who instigated the fight sold video footage of the incident for $45,000, according to E! Online.

Evans claims Brittany Maggard, who can be seen pushing Evans into a fight with alleged victim Britany Truett, sold video of the scuffle to the media for some major cash. TMZ was the first outlet to air the video.

"She told me herself, and I got very upset," Evans said of Maggard. "I cried for two hours."

Video footage of the incident shows Evans in a verbal confrontation with Truett, which turns violent when Maggard pushes Evans toward Truett. That's when the fists start flying.

Evans was charged with misdemeanor assault and affray stemming from the incident. Maggard was charged with simple assault for her connection to the fight, with an additional charge of probation violation.

Truett, who claims to be the victim in the incident, was booked for simple affray -- a charge she plans to fight.

"I think we have a very solid self-defense claim, and we are continuing to investigate the matter," Truett's attorney, Adrian Iaplucci, said.

Meanwhile, Evans' lawyer plans to argue that the 'Teen Mom 2' star was set up in the fight.

Evans, who rose to reality fame after appearing on MTV's 'Teen Mom 2,' is due in court date for this incident April 26, though she'll appear on both April 14 and April 29 to answer charges for two separate incidents.
