Maci Bookout

Posting sponsored content on social media has become a popular way for reality stars to supplement their TV incomes.

When the partnership is a good match, and both parties are on the same page with regard to their goals and intentions, it can lead to an arrangement that benefits not only the star, but also the star's followers, who are, ideally, being directed toward content the star has personally approved. 

Numerous public figures have lost jobs and lucrative endorsement deals in recent weeks as a result of culturally insensitive comments from their past.

Now, it looks as though Maci Bookout's husband, Taylor McKinney, might be next on the chopping block.

Maci Bookout has a bit of explaining she needs to do.

On Tuesday night's new episode of Teen Mom OG, the veteran cast member revealed that she had signed up her 11-year-old son for private wrestling lessons.

Sometimes, the most successful, well-adjusted adults emerge from the most chaotic childhoods.

And Teen Mom 2 fans are hopeful that that will turn out to be the case with Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards' son, Bentley.

On a recent episode of Teen Mom OG, Ryan Edwards seemed to be in very rough shape.

In the company of his wife, Mackenzie Standifer, Ryan attended his son Bentley's birthday party, and some who know him well -- including Maci Bookout -- suspected that Edwards was intoxicated.

You would think that after everything Ryan Edwards has put his loved ones through, he would count himself lucky to have anyone in his life at all.

But maybe during Edwards' latest stint in rehab, he dozed off during the part about making amends to those you've wronged, because the man is more peevish and petulant than ever these days.

Have you ever read a Teen Mom book?

If not, you might want to consider it.

We don't mean to be trite here, but...

... you go, girl!

On second thought...

... perhaps Maci Bookout actually does still hate Ryan Edwards.

When it comes to the subtle art of avoiding drama and controversy, Maci Bookout is much more talented than most of her Teen Mom cast mates. 

In fact, aside from Chelsea Houska, no other star in the Teen Mom galaxy has proven so adept at remaining in the spotlight while avoiding the usual pitfalls of fame.

If you've kept up with all the Teen Mom gossip over the years, then you know that the relationship between Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards hasn't been great for a while now.

And you also know that that's a major understatement.
