The Ashley’s sources shared that Bristol was initially cast because Maci was refusing to film. “She basically told production and crew that she wasn’t going to film if Ryan Edwards was filming because she didn’t want his drug struggles to play out on TV anymore. She didn’t want Bentley to be able to watch that go down,” the source revealed.
There is still a pervasive online rumor that a fifth cast member will also be joining Teen Mom OG. The moms surely are not happy about the changes. In March, Catelynn said on Kailyn’s podcast, “They can’t [bring in another girl to our show] because we’re the OG’s, the original girls. If you do that, it won’t be the original girls anymore.”
TMZ reported that Teen Mom OG will still be following in Teen Mom 2’s footsteps in adopting a Teen Mom 3 alum.

TMZ maintains that Mackenzie McKee will be taking a fifth spot on Teen Mom OG. She has been rumored to join the OG cast since she posted a snapchat in her living room that featured Teen Mom producer Morgan J. Freeman.
Fans will recognize her husband, Josh McKee from her 16 and Pregnant days. Since then, the couple has married and now has three children.
The Ashley, however, is adamant that a fifth spot will be taken by Cheyenne Floyd, an MTV reality star. Cheyenne, former star of Are You The One? and The Challenge, is the mother of 1-year-old Ryder. Cheyenne was initially unwilling to share the details of her baby’s father, but she came under the microscope last December when it was revealed that her baby daddy was a former co-star, Cory Wharton.
“Out with the old, in with the new. You guys are boring they want ratings,” Cory tweeted.
