Ryan Edwards is lastly addressing these home violence accusations.
This week’s episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter coated the nasty breakup between the 35-year-old actuality star and his spouse Mackenzie Edwards. During the present, Ryan reached out to his ex and child momma Maci Bookout in February, revealing that the pair had been divorcing. She reacted to the information, saying:
“It’s not shocking to me. I know when we filmed the reunion and had that conversation about starting fresh with co-parenting, she’s not gonna let this happen, she’s not. And then she lost her mind anytime him and Bentley were gonna go do something because she couldn’t go, because it was supposed to be the two of them. I do think this has everything to do with Ryan and Bentley’s relationship growing, me and Ryan trying to work together. I don’t think she can handle it. Bentley is the one that pays for all of this, so we have to stay on the same team. I hope this divorce doesn’t get messy.”

However, issues bought very “messy” afterward. The following day, information broke that Mackenzie filed for a restraining order towards Ryan after he allegedly held a knife to her again throughout a home violence incident. And shockingly sufficient, Ryan spoke out concerning the matter on digital camera. When a producer requested about “what happened,” he denied the allegations:
“She said I f**king held a knife to her back or something like that … f**k no, that’s so dumb. Everyone knows when I get angry, I get f**king angry. So she’s gonna use that against me. But I ain’t never put my hands on a woman ever before.”
He went on to difficulty his personal accusations about Mackenzie. Ryan claimed she cheated on him, noting she didn’t spend the evening at their home:
“I was like, she left this house last night and there was only one reason why she left this house. She can’t lie very well, she’ll stumble over every word she says and I was like, ‘Where the f**k did you stay last night?’ and she couldn’t come up with a good answer. So I started putting two and two together.”
FYI, he has since walked again on these accusations, later telling The Sun he “was wrong” and “she isn’t that kind of person.” But on the present, Ryan claimed Mackenzie by no means appreciated his co-parenting relationship with Maci and was “threatened” by it, believing “that really f**king sent her over the edge.” He mentioned:
“I think that’s what kind of pissed Mackenzie off too, like really. I don’t think she ever wanted us to have a relationship.”
When requested concerning the state of his sobriety, he admitted he “done f**ked up, I ain’t gonna lie” and used medicine:
“It was hard to stay sober after I found out we were getting a divorce. After a couple days of using drugs, it was not worth it. I did not want to go back down that road. Drugs, it drags everybody down, not just the people using them, everybody. I got kids, Jagger and Stella, they’re about to go through a bunch of s**t too. Bentley, hell, that poor dude’s had to go through some f**ked up s**t. I just feel bad for him, for Bentley.”
As you realize, Ryan was sentenced to spend time in jail in April on harassment prices after prices of possession of a managed substance, DUI, and violating the phrases of his probation. However, he was launched early with a view to go to rehab.
What a messy and unhappy state of affairs. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know.
