Why was Maci Bookouts baby daddy Ryan Edwards fired from Teen Mom?
TEEN Moms Maci Bookout and baby daddy Ryan Edwards have had a tumultuous relationship since the start of the show. The pair were on and off since 2009 even after the birth of their son, Bentley Cadence. Maci Bookout, 29, had her baby daddy Ryan Edwards fired from Teen Mom out of retaliation, according to Mackenzie, Ryans wife. She claims that the situation happened after Larry confronted and fought with her husband at the reunion. Ryan exclusively told The Sun: Maci is in fear that my mom and dad will start telling the truth. She will always fight to have us off the show.  4 Maci reportedly had Ryan and his family fired from the show  He continued: MTV does not really stand for anything we believe in or support.  Mackenzie told the YouTube channel Without a Crystal Ball that they were fired because Macis agent wanted the show to focus more on her life instead. She said: We just got a call yesterday from Morgan [J. Freeman] and Larry [Musnik] at MTV and Maci's agent went above their heads and went to Viacom. Adding that "they wanted to focus on all of Maci's abilities and her  whatever she does, and that we took up the time on the show that she could be using to show all that." Amid the firing of Ryan and his family, Teen Mom cast member Jenelle Evans said she supported his leaving from the show. 4 Ryan is allegedly on drugs while on Teen Mom, according to cast member Jenelle Evans Credit: MTV  Jenelle said: I don't think it's healthy for teens to be watching other people on drugs, especially young teens who are watching Teen Mom." She also added that she did not believe Mackenzies claims about his drug use. You can tell he is in and out of drugs a lot, no matter what Mackenzie says, and I just think it doesn't need to be aired, Jenelle added. Ryan previously told The Sun that the firing has not bothered him. He said: I really havent given MTV much thought now that I have my own fabrication shop.  The Sun was the first to report on the firings, as Larry previously said: We, the family have been let go from the show by the network. It's unbelievable.  Larry previously told The Sun in October that Ryan is not allowed to see Bentley as the family hasnt gotten to see him very much.  4 Ryan's family alleges that Maci does not allow them to see Bentley, Ryan's son Credit: Instagram  He previously said of Ryan and Maci: Their relationship hasnt been going well. Its not any better. Something came up that she wanted and needed. Ryan wasnt going to comply with everything she wants and needs and weve been shut down. Bentley right now, we cant even see him, theyre not even allowed to see him. Maci has been married to Taylor McKinney since 2016. The couple celebrated their fourth anniversary in October 2020, with Maci sharing sweet Instagram posts about their love. The goal is to laugh forever with someone you take seriously, Maci wrote. Happy fourth anniversary, babe! #wecheerforthehometeam #thingsthatmatter.  Taylor had previously filed a protection order against Ryan, claiming he threatened to put a bullet in [his] head after a string of outbursts. MORE ON MACI BOOKOUT 'TIME FLIES!'
