Ryan Edwards' potentially ongoing use of drugs was a hot topic during last night's (April 16) first half of the Season 8A reunion special for "Teen Mom OG." As fans saw during the latest episode, Maci Bookout and her husband, Taylor McKinney, appeared on the panel and confirmed that Edwards hadn't yet taken and passed a drug test. McKinney also made it clear that Edwards wasn't acting appropriately during his interactions with Bookout.
On April 16, OK! Magazine shared details about the episode, revealing that Edwards actually refused to sit down with Bookout for a chat.
He even stormed off the stage at the thought of being forced to address the questions of both host Dr. Drew and his former girlfriend. Edwards looked quite uncomfortable throughout the episode as he attempted to explain why he has no real plan in place to ensure his sobriety.
"I'm done!" he proclaimed.
Did Ryan Edwards get caught lying to Dr. Drew?
According to Ryan Edwards, he speaks to his former rehab therapist only sometimes because he has his wife, Mackenzie Standifer, and his parents, Jen and Larry Edwards, for support. He also said that because he is famous and starring on a reality show, he has been turned down by all of the therapists he's attempted to hire. His wife seconded his claims, insisting that it has been rough trying to find someone who is willing to help Edwards and support him through his addiction struggles.
In response to his claim, Dr. Drew made it clear that he had his doubts about how true that was. After all, he's worked with tons of reality stars and actors in the past and all of those people have been able to "easily" find therapy.
Has Ryan Edwards quit 'Teen Mom OG?'
Although no official announcement has been made, Ryan Edwards seems to be following in the footsteps of "Teen Mom 2" star Adam Lind, who quit his role on the show years ago after being accused of using drugs and failing as a parent.
Since leaving the show, Lind has continued to face allegations of drug use and has also been arrested on a number of occasions. As for her relationship with his daughter, eight-year-old Aubree, he doesn't appear to be a very stable force in her life.
