Maci Bookout and her family have had enough of Ryan Edwards and his antics, and after requesting orders of protection against her ex-boyfriend for her husband and three kids, including Edwards' son Bentley, 9, a source claims the "Teen Mom OG" star is convinced he is still using.
“They don’t know what they’ll do,” a source told Radar Online on April 4. Bookout and her husband, Taylor McKinney, filed for protection against Edwards last month and just days later, he was arrested in his hometown in Tennessee. As fans have likely heard, Edwards was picked up by police for allegedly breaking his probation with a heroin arrest in 2017.
Ryan Edwards' arrest also took place just one day after fans learned for the first time, via a "Teen Mom OG" sneak peek, that Edwards' wife, Mackenzie Standifer, is pregnant with his second child.
How does the 'Teen Mom' cast feel?
According to Radar Online's source, Catelynn Lowell has spoken to Maci Bookout and let her know that she is happy she requested a restraining order against Ryan Edwards. In fact, Lowell feels the request was long overdue considering everything he has put her through in recent years.
The insider said that even with Edwards' family's attempt to paint a horrible picture of Bookout, everyone reportedly knows how bad things have been for Bookout in terms of dealing with Edwards and how much she's let slide over the past few years.
The source also noted that Maci Bookout is frequently anxiety-ridden when her son Bentley is in his father's care.
'Teen Mom's stars are 'Team Maci'
As filming on the hit series continues, Radar Online claims that Edwards has distanced himself from his co-stars. In fact, for the "past few years," he hasn't allowed anyone to get close to him.
Instead, he's kept to himself as he continues on with his marriage to Mackenzie Standifer.
While Edwards has distanced himself from many, a second source suspected that he must be doing so in an effort to hide his potential drug use. “This has to be drug-related," the insider noted. "Sober [Ryan Edwards] is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.” Edwards entered treatment at the end of season six and remained there for several weeks as he was treated for his addiction to drugs.
