Mackenzie went on, “They want to talk about us but they don’t want to pay us and film us.” Mackenzie claimed that Maci was in on the decision, threatening not to film unless Ryan and Mackenzie were off!
According to Mackenzie, Maci told MTV that she wouldn’t film unless Ryan enters rehab again and quits the show. Mackenzie and Ryan shared more details about their departure from MTV with E! News. “[MTV wants] to take Maci’s word on how I’m doing,” Ryan said. “Maci’s said she’s not going to film unless I enter rehab again and quit the show. But I’m sober.”
Mackenzie claimed, “They’re writing us out of the show right now and making it seem like we dipped out on our baby, on Bentley and on everyone. And that’s just not the case.”
Though Maci has tried to force Ryan into rehab for his addition, it wasn’t until recently that Ryan started to face legal repercussions for his drug use. To his dismay, this also meant that Maci refused to let him see or spend time with his son, Bentley, without supervision.
Only a few months ago in late April, Maci finally had proof that Ryan was lying when he insisted that he was clean. Ryan was busted by cops driving with a significant amount of heroin in his possession.
According to a citation from Red Bank City Court in Tennessee and published by Radar Online, 30-year-old Ryan Edwards was pulled over at traffic stop because he had an expired tag. One officer noticed that Ryan had an open backpack in the passenger seat with hypodermic needles inside.
