Teen Mom OG

There's no denying that Ryan Edwards is a bad dad.

In fact, some have gone so far as to call him the worst baby daddy in the history of Teen Mom.

As far as we can tell, Ryan Edwards is still sober these days.

But he continues to behave erratically, and frankly, the words that come out of his mouth still aren't making much sense.

Recently, Teen Mom OG fans saw that young Leah Shirley has a solid grasp on Amber Portwood's role in her life.

Naturally, the combative reality star is looking for someone to blame, and she'll search everywhere but a mirror.

Maci Bookout has broken her silence.

The veteran Teen Mom OG star was a guest Tuesday on Kailyn Lowry's Baby Mamas No Drama podcast, opening up for the first time since she allegedly put her foot down -- and kicked her on-air rivals off the aforementioned program.

Teen Mom OG fans are concerned.

Are they relieved? Are they joyous? Or they thankful?

Ryan Edwards does not sound bitter.

He does not sound mad.

Mackenzie Standifer has shed new light on what transpired this week between herself, Maci Bookout and the higher-ups at MTV.

As previously reported, Mackenzie has essentially been fired from Teen Mom OG.

Mackenzie Edwards really is outta there, folks.

As you may have heard about by now, Teen Mom OG will be undergoing a bit of a shakeup next season after producers took Mackenzie, her husband and her in-laws by surprise this week.

That sound you just heard?

A loud, sharp and rather triumphant sound for one long-term member of the Teen Mom OG cast?

Maci Bookout had THE talk with her son on Teen Mom OG this week.

No, not the one about how 12-year old Bentley's dad is a (hopefully) recovering drug addict who has often been to rehab and who has been arrested on many occasions.

Even though Ryan Edwards is sober now (or so he claims), he's still got a lot of work to do in terms of self-improvement.

And he should probably be devoting most of his attention to the fact that he is a genuinely terrible father.

Last week, we reported on the news that the co-parenting relationship between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards had somehow gotten worse.

The trouble began during the taping of this year's Teen Mom OG reunion show.

Have you found yourself endlessly frustrated with the behavior of Ryan Edwards and his parents on the current season of MTV's Teen Mom OG?

Then man alive, this story is for you.

DISCLAIMER:

The folllowing article is filled with speculation.

When Ryan Edwards is on his best behavior for a few weeks, Teen Mom OG fans might forget why Maci Bookout is so wary of him.

But then something like this week's episode comes along and reminds us all that Ryan is an unstable and often terrifying guy.

As previously reported, Maci Bookout has had it up to here with the parents of her ex, Ryan Edwards.

She admittedly wants to go all-out crazy on these folks due to the way they've been lying and manipulating various situations centered around her and Ryan's son, Bentley.

Teen Mom OG is a show that hasn't lived up to its title in quite some time.

The Moms haven't been teens in several years -- in fact, most of them are closing in on the big 3-0 -- and with the addition of Cheyenne Floyd and Mackenzie McKee, it no longer features a cast of the franchise's OGs.

Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Ryan Edwards has suffered tremendously during his years on MTV's Teen Mom OG.

Although it's worth noting that most of that suffering was self-created.

On the season premiere of Teen Mom OG, fans watched Amber Portwood break up with Dimitri Garcia.

She had felt overwhelmed and hounded by her Belgian beau and was alarmed by his "controlling" behavior.

Remember how all the Teen Mom girls used to be good friends?

Yeah, looks like that's not really a thing anymore.

Teen Mom has been around for many, many years.

Just over 11 years now, to be exact.
