Maci Bookout

Maci Bookout's financial situation appears to be quite sound these days.

And that fact informs the latest news about the mother of three in a number of ways.

Maci Bookout is currently starring on the inaugural season of Teen Mom Family Reunion, and while she's not attempting to rip anyone's head off, a la Jade Cline and Ashley Jones, she's bringing the drama in her own way.

In recent years, Maci's wildest storylines have all had to do with her first baby daddy, Ryan Edwards.

There are few cushier jobs in the world than starring on a long-running reality show. 

Sure, you have to put your personal life out there for public consumption, but these days, most folks do that for free on social media every day.

As we all witnessed, the Teen Mom: Family Reunion premiere was a chaotic screaming match for some of the cast.

Not everyone was there just yet, including Farrah Abraham. But we know that she was part of it.

It's a lesson that everyone really tries to heed.

We all know that we should.

Maci Bookout tried to pay tribute to her daughter this weekend.

She tried to gush over her six-year old, Jayde.

Part two of the Teen Mom OG Season 9 reunion show aired on MTV Tuesday night, and while the once-popular series might not be as dramatic as it used to be, the episode still packed an emotional punch.

That was largely due to the unexpected outpouring from Maci Bookout, who has been through quite a bit in the past year.

For the past several years, Teen Mom OG ratings have been declining steadily.

Actually, that's putting it mildly.

Teen Mom OG fans have long been divided on the subject Maci Bookout.

Some buy into the version of herself that she presents on TV and social media, while others feel that Maci puts too much effort into convincing fans that she's some sort of ultra-badass supermom.

Maci Bookout has long been a divisive figure among Teen Mom OG fans.

Some praise Maci for her toughness and devotion to her children's happiness.

Well, another Teen Mom OG reunion show is in the can.

And as always, the taping involved some ugly drama and a whole lot of surprises.

If you're one of the many, many Teen Mom OG fans who have complained about how boring the show has become in recent years, then you're in luck ... well, sort of.

A tense feud between three of the show's cast members erupted over the weekend, but unfortunately, it all played out on social media, not on camera.

Maci Bookout has been through quite a lot in the past year, and many of her trials and tribulations were documented on Teen Mom OG.

These days, the stars of the Teen Mom franchise have more control over what content makes it to air than probably any other reality stars on television.

Ryan Edwards has mostly kept out of the headlines in the months since Maci Bookout got him fired from Teen Mom OG.

Sure, he and wife Mackenzie Standifer trashed Maci in an interview, but surprisingly, it was Mackenzie who dealt out the majority of the shade.

Some of our younger readers might not remember this, but there was a time when comparing two women and brutally judging their appearances was a common pastime on the internet.

If you saw the Social Network, then you know that the website created specifically for this disgusting practice formed the foundation of what later become Facebook.

We probably don't need to tell you that there's a lot of money to be made in the world of reality television.

If that wasn't the case, we doubt so many people would be willing to air their dirty laundry in front of an audience of millions

Everyone who follows reality stars on social media knows that they occasionally supplement their incomes by posting clickbait.

Generally, this takes the form of links to articles about celebrities or viral videos.

Another day, another shot fired in the never-ending war between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards.

When Maci got Ryan and his family fired from Teen Mom OG, many assumed that that would be the end of their public feuding.

Maci Bookout has a lot on her plate these days.

What with three kids, a husband, and an obnoxious baby daddy, all in addition to her work as a reality star and small business owner, Maci's days are probably pretty well booked.

For once, it looks as though Mackenzie Standifer (Edwards) and Maci Bookout actually agree on something.

We'll get to that in a moment, but first, a quick recap of the latest events in this seemingly never-ending war between Ryan Edwards' baby mamas.

The war between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards has been raging for several years now.

Like many people, we sort of assumed the whole thing had come a head when Maci got Ryan fired from Teen Mom OG.

This spring, the world learned that Ryan Edwards was fired from Teen Mom OG.

His whole family was given the boot alongside him, and to say that it was contentious is an understatement.
