The Teen Mom franchise has brought us many, many terrible, abusive, and incompetent parents.
Fans sometimes debate among themselves in an effort to determine who is the worst of these villains, and the likes of Jenelle Evans, Farrah Abraham, and Adam Lind usually dominate the conversation.
Like most stars of Teen Mom, Mackenzie Standifer has a complex relationship with the people who watch the show that made her famous.
For the most part, she seems to enjoy the spotlight, but Standifer has also threatened to quit Teen Mom OG due to harassment from fans.
Ryan Edwards ... where do we even start?
The guy has had a lot going on for the past few years, and pretty much all of it has been absolutely horrific.
When Mackenzie Standifer first started dating Ryan Edwards, she was openly unhappy.
You might think she was miserable because of Edwards' addictions, or the fact that his narcissism and general crappiness are rivaled in the annals of Teen Mom baby daddy history only by the likes David Eason or Adam Lind.
The good news is that Ryan Edwards has come a long way since the time when he passed out while driving to his wedding with Mackenzie Standifer.
The less-encouraging news is that recovery is a lifelong process, and Ryan will need to remain vigilant for the rest of his days if he hopes to remain sober and be the kind of husband and father his family deserves.
On New Year's Day, troubled reality star Ryan Edwards and his wife Mackenzie Standifer welcomed their third child.
It's their second baby together; Ryan and Mackenzie both have additional sons from their previous relationships.
There was a time when it looked as though Teen Mom ne'er do well Ryan Edwards wouldn't be able to cut it as a family man.
After all, his first child with Mackenzie Standifer was born while Ryan was still in rehab. That's usually never a good sign.
According to a brand new and blessed new report, Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Edwards rang in 2020 in grand fashion:
By becoming parents once again!
Troubled Teen Mom OG ne'er-do-well Ryan Edwards suddenly has a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail.
Or, to be more specific, Ryan Edwards will have a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail ... in about six months.
If you're a longtime Teen Mom OG viewer, you know that Maci Bookout's baby daddy Ryan Edwards has been to hell and back over the course of the past two years.
Granted, many of Ryan's problems are self-created, and he's inflicted a tremendous amount of pain on his loved ones, but we're still rooting for the guy.
It appears as if a three-month stint behind bars truly may have rehabilitated Ryan Edwards.
We can't say for certain, of course. We may need to wait and see if he joins Tinder any time soon and hits some woman on there up for some cocaine.
As previously documented, Ryan Edwards is a free man.
The disgraced reality star was released from a Tennessee prison on Monday after spending three months behind bars due to an arrest in January that stemmed from an outstanding warrant.
Back in December of 2018, Teen Mom 2 star Ryan Edwards was arrested for skipping out on a bar tab.
That charge was later dropped, but at the time of his arrest, there was a warrant out for Ryan's arrest stemming from an earlier charge for heroin possession.
