Mackenzie McKee is sharing her thoughts about the mixed blessing of reality TV fame with someone who definitely understands her plight.
McKee sat down with Kailyn Lowry for the latest episode of Kail"s Coffee Convos podcast, and fans were stunned by some of what she had to say.
For starters, it seems the reports of Mackenzie joining the cast of Teen Mom OG were a bit premature.

Mackenzie went on to say that she has the utmost respect for Kailyn and the other ladies of the Teen Mom franchise. “It makes me respect [the ‘Teen Mom’ casts] so much more,” she told Kail. “You guys went through the hardest times of your life being on TV for years with no break.”
