Earlier this week, Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout was accused of lying to fans of the show in order to create a more dramatic storyline for herself for the show’s current season.
Eagle-eyed viewers claimed that the custody battle between Maci and Ryan Edwards had been faked for the cameras, and the exes had actually reached an amicable co-parenting arrangement.
Now, new evidence has emerged indicating that Ryan and Maci have, in fact, been sharing custody of their son Bentley for several months, all the while pretending to be at one another’s throats over the question of who will raise the boy.
According to the show, the timeline of Ryan and Maci’s custody battle goes something like this:
Back in June Ryan checked into rehab immediately after marrying Mackenzie Standifer.
He left treatment three weeks later, and immediately attacked Maci on social media with a vulgar meme.
Thus began one of the ugliest fights for custody in the illustrious history of the Teen Mom franchise.
Or so viewers have been led to believe…
The above image was posted in a Teen Mom message board on Reddit earlier this week.
The poster claims it offers conclusive evidence that Ryan and Maci are lying about the severity of their feud.
On the show, Maci and Bentley visited Ryan on Father’s Day at his parents’ house.
Ryan and Maci got into a fight; she left, and he supposedly didn’t see Bentley for several months afterward.
“Maci’s storyline this season is total BS,” the viewer wrote on Reddit.
“Go figure lol. Here are some pictures with dates proving that Bentley has been able to see his dad and grandparents regularly since July. Tomorrow’s episode takes place at the end of October where Ryan supposedly hasn’t seen him since Father’s Day.”
Yes, it does seem that either Ryan is posting old photos of himself with Bentley, or he’s lying about going several months without seeing his son.
The same viewer claimed that changes were made to Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra’s storyline in post-production.
Meanwhile, Maci has moved on to a dramatic storyline.
On a recent episode of the show Bookout revealed that she suffered a miscarriage, and thus, has concerns about getting pregnant again.
While the miscarriage took place several months ago, fans were not made aware of it until recently.
