Look what I found in my inbox this morning?
Apparently, Ryan was arrested yesterday for failing a drug test. Did we even know he was on probation? Come to think about it, did his heroin arrest even make the news the first time? At any rate, he tested positive for heroin and the cops showed up at his house and took him in,
Yesterday was also the day that Mackenzie was calling up the gossip sites to announce she finally managed to get pregnant by her heroin addict husband.
That’s all I got. Because, I think we all saw this coming. He sort of has a Taylor Hicks vibe going in his mug shot, no?
I wonder if the failed drug test was positive for heroin. It’s alleged he was using 10 grand worth of heroin a WEEK? You don’t get past that kind of addiction with a 30 day treatment!
Sorry TT, just reread and saw that he tested positive for heroin. /Itchy finger commenter here…
Mack is saying Ryan was arrested in April 2017 for heroin possession and he had to turn himself in yesterday for a mug shot? Does that make any sense? It seems strange to me, especially since I’m shocked if he got arrested last April that no news agencies picked up the story. You understand the law so maybe you can tell if Mack’s story sounds fishy!
She’s a pathological liar.
You got that right. Bringing a baby into the situation is disgusting. All to be a Teen Mom star.
she is just that selfish, anything to get some cash and a baby will get them that.
I think sometimes t.m should not always give in to anyone on the show who just
gets pregnant and then gets paid and suddenly they have their own storyline, its just
not right. But I guess if he has this addiction they are going to need the cash to pay for it,
especially if its grand, holy that’s alot of money to go through, and does he even have a job? have always wondered what he did for work, even way back i wondered about that..
does anyone know if he has one?
Yes, he has a six figure income job. He is on a reality show called Teen Mom.
If something, hopefully one of many good things come out of this, thinking that you can rehab yourself is not possible for a $10,000 heroin addiction.
And secondly, maybe remember, until sober, ADDICTS ARE PROBABLY LYING.
Guess I just put my comment there TT, due to thinking about how Mackenzie is handling.
Mack lies and the above photo states “Petition to Revoke”. I wonder why she assumes viewers are as ignorant as she is…? Of course, that could also be the story Ryan told her….
Well, if you remember Porsha’s mugshot she did get to go down and get booked and leave. So it does happen. But that is not what happened to Ryan. He had to bail out.
That doesn’t make sense to me either, because if you violate probation you normally go to jail. If he bailed out that means he will be going to court. And then may end up in jail. All of this is being filmed so we will find out what is going on eventually.
My thought as well, probation violation usually means jail, then in front of the judge, not a bond. But I’m speaking of Indiana and Nevada cases. (Friends, not me! Lol)
In CA, when a person is sentenced and receives probation, then fails a subsequent drug test, the result of the failed test goes immediately to the Probation Officer, and the person is arrested for Violation of Probation. I’ve never heard of someone immediately bailing out. Still, each state is very different.
Mack is a very delusional woman, and why women like her keep getting pregnant by men who are clearly bad risks, is hard to understand. There are many ways to prevent pregnancy these days, but apparently Mack is saying she and Ryan had been trying for two months to have a baby, so she’s even less intelligent than I thought. You would think she’d be very cautious about bringing another baby into the picture and would take precautions, given Ryan’s drug problems and general sketchiness. OK, I know there are accidents even when couples think they’re being careful, but when you’re in a situation like Mack and Ryan, I’m surprised she allowed herself to get pregnant. Hey, the guy has a peenie, the lady has a hooha, and if they come into contact with each other, without birth control, miraculous things happen and suddenly you’re parents! Doesn’t have to happen, but I guess it upsets me because it’s ultimately the children who suffer, especially with a father like Ryan.
Sorry, took heavy duty decongestant meds a little while ago and I suspect this doesn’t make sense. On the positive side, I’ll have a really good night’s sleep tonight.
Made perfect sense EnglishRose! On heavy duty decongestants as well, hope you feel better soon!
Mack was saying he had to get booked from an arrest back in April 2017. Which is weird. Last year at the reunion she read that scathing letter to Maci about how Ryan’s issues were some how Maci’s fault and she knew he was a drug addict those specific amount of days, hours and minutes, yet he had been arrested in April! Now I know what Maci meant when she said “you’re so full of shit your eyes are brown” to Mack. I think she was alluding to the fact that Mack knew he had a problem since he was arrested. Just goes to show Maci could have called Ryan out for getting arrested and she didn’t. There was also a pretty big story over the summer about how Ryan was looking to meet up with girls he met on Tindr and telling them he was divorcing Mack. MTV didn’t show that even though they were filming when it happened. And now Mack is pregnant on top of everything.
So if he was arrested in April 2017 and (if i remember correctly) they were married in May 2017, how is she going to continue the charade that she didn’t know he was on drugs?
Did he just get intentionally arrested to visit his pals in jail so they could be included in his bachelor party?
Did Maci bail him out then not tell anyone for another month until he drove Mac high as a kite to their wedding? The was 22 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes and .6 seconds that maci could have stopped her from walking down the sidewalk to a big ole pay raise!
If they got married in May, that means he was driving while fucked up to the wedding a month after his arrest. How did he not fail a drug test then?
Maybe he was arrested in April, bailed out and had a court date after the wedding where he got formally sentenced with drug testing as part of it? That happened with me with a DUI almost 20 years ago. Bailed out and had a court date, got it continued, finally pled no contest over a month later and had court ordered probation. Maybe?
Unless the rushed wedding was because they knew he was using and was going to piss hot and fail whatever probationary terms were set. Mac claimed that she made him go to rehab right after the wedding so the timeline adds up that the angle they were playing was that it looked better to the court that they were married and she encouraged him to go to rehab and turn his life around. I’m not a lawyer and have minimal exposure to what is going on so i might be talking out of my ass but i have a stronger feeling that none of it makes sense mainly because of the lies she is telling to cover up the rest of her lies.
Mac needs to realize that the foundational purpose of 16 and pregnant then teen mom is to educate viewers on the struggles of teen pregnancy and everything that goes along with it. You have the rest of the cast opening up about some heavy stuff- addiction, miscarriages, ect- and she is parading around saying ‘everything is fine!’ when it clearly isn’t. If she truly had his best interest at heart and wanted to help those with addiction issues she would be transparent and honest and say ‘this is happening, its an epidemic in our country, this is how were going to fight it and these are all the other resources we looked into that weren’t right for us but have worked for other people’.
instead, she got pregnant despite the advice she was being given by, among others, Jen and Larry saying he’s going to be ‘a great great’- apparently she’s not realizing that theres a BIG difference between being good with kids when he sporadically shows up and being a good dad in it for the long haul. Her bullshit is counteracting the predominantly positive message the rest of the girls are trying to convey and its truly a shame.
He was absolutely higher than Bob Marley in the heavens while driving to his wedding. Didn’t MTV cameras catch it and Mack tried to cover it up by throwing a jacket or something over it?
He needs a solid support system and help. Mack plays the role of an opportunist well by lying, scheming and absolving herself of any wrong doing by blaming Maci. Ryan’s parents are enablers (specifically Mimi Jenn) which is detrimental to his recovery. Most of all, he needs to have the strength and willpower to kick his habit. There are children involved in this mess and the priority should be them.
This franchise already has a death on record from drug addiction. God Forbid it happens again.
She’s always lying for him.
You’re correct my son went into a yearlong program and thank God is still clean 5 years later. It’s a horrible epidemic which as far as I’m concerned should be priority #1 especially in the southeast. He actually has some weight on him, hopefully he can turn things around. I am a big advocate for suboxone-Nick doesn’t use it but a lot of people have been very successful thanks to it. I need to get active locally to do what I can to help battle this heartbreaking problem. Hope he gets better-jail can be a good start to sobriety.
So wonderful your son is sober and thriving! So often, heroin stories end with death. Congratulations to your son! 🙂
Congrats to your son and your whole family for making it through to the other side. You should be very proud of your son!
Congratulations on your sons recovery. Do you know best then that one doesn’t “graduate early” from rehab, especially after only 22 days and proceed to have no after care or counseling? That doesn’t seem like a real thing, especially in relation to a heroin addiction.
Thank you for the kind words-it means a lot-
suboxone is a nightmare in itself and harder to get off than heroin.
I disagree with this. Suboxone is controlled by a doctor. It is not injected. It is not laced with anything sketchy. It is not hugely expensive. It works very well for people who are able to transition from using opiates to using suboxone. It helps people get clean and stay clean. It may be difficult to get off of, but there is no rush or hurry, nor is it necessary to get off of suboxone. It’s a medication one can take long term. And nothing is harder to get off than heroin. They could be equally hard, though that’s not my experience, but it is definitely not harder.
Thank you-well said.
While I agree suboxone is better then heroin I have to tell you I took it for over 6 years and I was high as a kite. I relapsed every time I got off. I’ve been on methadone for the past few years which was my first time on methadone.!the first month you do feel high but after that you feel nothing! I don’t feel high at all and I think for the first time I can get off everything and just live sober. Subs and subutex keep you high…
Mack will somehow make this Maci’s fault.
But it certainly proves that Maci was right about Ryan avoiding drug testing.
The baby is due in October.
From what I’ve seen he is a serious addict. Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs and it takes at least 6 months to a year in a rehab facility for treatment to work. He obviously needs to change his circle of friends and environment after proper treatment. If he does not the next step is him ODing and dying.
It also requires ONGOING, FREQUENT meetings, counseling, or whatever it takes but it takes constant vigilance, just like alcoholism.
Wait hold up..he’s 30 years old? Maci was knocked up at 16 by an almost 21 year old. MTV is shady. I just assumed they were the same age.
Scratch that meant to say almost 20 year old. Still shady.
Gary is older than Amber too. I think only the girls were 16. Gary and Ryan had both graduated. The guys were never supposed to play such a large role anyway. They were supposed to do what many young baby daddies do and bail. They might have without the MTV paycheck.
This is sad. I hope he heads back to rehab and not bail early. He doesn’t need to be on a TV show, most of them don’t. They need less public profile and pressure, some quiet time if they really want to get their lives together.
Except Farrah & Jenelle. They dont think they have anything to work on. They should go
In other Ryan news, word on the curb is that Ryan has been on Tinder hooking up with chicks and this behavior has continued during the pregnancy.
I feel bad for Jen and Larry. Spoiling your kid rotten clearly has consequences but no one can ever foresee this level of fuckery.
You feel bad for Jen and Larry yet you blame the parents for him being an addict? How does that work in your brain?
Ryan was fucked up before the heroin. He was in some sort of accident or something, Not sure exactly when that happened but I think there was some head trauma involved.
I don’t blame them for him being an addict. I do blame them for him not being able to be a productive or even decent human being. I feel bad for them because they created this monster and THEY KNOW IT. Nobody spoils their kid thinking they’ll grow up to be a total POS.
I was wondering if something else happened to him. I watched an old old season and he looked really healthy and seemed to talk normally. Then after watching the last few seasons his speech pattern seemed slow but I thought it was the drugs.
Again?! He was caught doing this last year too.
Behind Food City! Sexxxxxxy!!
Yes! Mack has to know about his hookups. What the hell is wrong with her getting married to and pregnant by a guy who clearly is not that into, on drugs, and cheatiing?
Teen Mom money. She wants to be on that gravy train.
It’s not like he didn’t want her to know. Maybe it’s the heroin logic but He uses his own name and picture but lies a little about his age. It must be an old pic. he has a lot of gray for a 30 yr old.
That cheap trick was apparently ANGLING to hook up with this pos adoring to her old high school friends. She wanted it, she got it. Now she sees what she’s got. And se do we. I frankly despise her. She’s a pretty crap mother too in my opinion. I see how the kid reacts around her. He does not trust her and that tells me a lot. For a child that young to be that physically uncomfortable around a mother is highly unusual regardless of separation issues.
Baby is due in October.
Somehow Mack will soon this assAssin’s fault.
Okay I have looked into it a bit further and he will have a hearing soon so that the prosecutor can prove the probation violation. The proof will be the failed drug test. Unless his lawyers try to claim the test was a false positive or something I don’t see much of a defense. The burden of proof is basically more likely than not, Then the judge could impose hefty fines and/or have him serve the rest of his time in jail. Ryan’s attorney my plead for an extended rehab,
He didn’t stay in the required amount of time last time!
I hope he goes to rehab again. Extensive, long lasting, inpatient treatment. I almost feel like being caught on the drug test is a blessing in disguise as it will shake everyone out of their complacency, push him to make a change, and force him into treatment again. Hopefully, if this is the first failed test, he has not been using as much or as often as he was before. I hope he is not as physically addicted as he was last time, and that this is more of a mental/psychological fight for him this time. The first time he was in rehab was so short and was probably just about getting him over the physical withdrawal. Hopefully this time he can focus on the emotional aspect of it instead of being distracted by dealing with the horrific physical effects. I sort of feel like this won’t be the case, though. I bet he may have started by using occasionally, a couple of weeks before a known drug test and then he kept pushing it and using closer and closer to his tests, until he was physically addicted again and couldn’t stop and was using the day before a test and then hoping and praying it wouldn’t show up.
My big worry though is that MTV, Mackenzie, and his parents will want him out of rehab and participating in some kind of baby preparation and birth storyline. Like he’ll be pressured to get over this quickly and out of rehab so he can be filmed painting the baby’s room, going to the baby shower, being at the birth. They are so all about the appearance of a “happy family,” and I can see Mackenzie especially jeopardizing his recovery by insisting he not spend too much time away from her while she’s pregnant.
Anyone that needs or wants help contact Lifechangers church headquartered in Sevier County TN. It is a bible based free yearlong program with offshoots in NC and WV. Just putting it out there. To my knowledge they have never turned anyone away.
Thank you for this. There are precious few resources where I am, and I see so many beautiful young people slowly dying in front of me. I live in the hood in the rural NE and it’s everywhere. It’s good to know that there are some places still who are open to all. Love to you and your son. It’s been over a decade for me, heroin and crack. People like you saved my life and gave me my self respect back.
I think Jen and Larry rushed him into a wedding with Mack because they wanted him to come off as a family man. But Jen has seen the real side of Mack real quick and didn’t want them to have a baby while Larry did. Ryan is a sad, pathetic drug addict that needs a lot of help and I don’t foresee Mack assisting him in that way
Mack has never been about Ryan, Her end game is the show, If Ryan ODs, she thinks she will still be on the show as the greiving widow. I don’t think she cares how the story goes. You know who else is on to her con? Kailyn, and well EVERYONE ELSE except apparently Morgan Freeman. Ryan is an addict, his mind is fucked up. But Mack? Her actions are very deliberate, I hope her boy’s father files for full custody, Because that boy does not need to be around all this.
I agree, TT. She’s a hateful bitch. But I do think Ryan’s parents kind of pushed that relationship at first to make him appear to be a stable family man because they miss Bentley.
Jen proved how much she loves and misses Maci at the wedding.
He has filed for full custody.
Ryan, is and has been a wreck for a long time. And Mac, well she maybe one or she is blind and only wants the fame. Yet, the fame is that of a woman who has put her child in danger around a man who was certainly been using. She lowered her self to watching her husband and addict whom she married while high and the second wedding he was drug at least. I am sorry but we do not need them on the show, The grandparents and Macy can make arrangements and stop covering for their son. How many charges has Ryan had?
My heart goes out to every addict and alcoholic, who is still suffering. As long as they are breathing, there is hope.
Teen Mom money. She wants to be on that gravy train.
It’s funny that all the girls living on teen mom money are bitter about other girls who want teen mom money. It’s not that U don’t agree with Kail but she has no room to criticise anyone. If she thinks she is the one who has her shit together, she is delusional. None of them do and that is the point.
Ryan is an addict, it’s a disease and he needs help, not exposure. I think Larry and Jen are doing the best they can because they love their son and grandson. It is possible that Larry thinks a new baby will make Ryan walk the straight and narrow. It isn’t unusual for family to be the biggest enablers in an addicts life. Mack isn’t the point except to say he chose badly. Instead of bringing Mack in as anything, why not get rid of the show.
Aside from the anger issues, Amber is an addict. I am sorry but drinking “too much” doesn’t cut it, you are sober or you are not. Changing substances is not a recovery path. The same applies to Jenelle. Caitlyn is seriously depressed, Tyler is just waiting to break. I hope he doesn’t but we are watching it live. Is this entertainment? It makes me sad.
Leah is the one who went through her hell and has seemingly come out ok on the other side. My hope is that this train wreck of a show is allowing her to get all of the help she needs for Ali. Leah has a huge heap of stuff so I wont make fun of her goals be it motivational speaking (she does have a story to tell) or lipstick.
Sorry to talk about ryan and add all of the others. Handing 16 yr olds this fame doesn’t seem to have been a great idea.
This pregnancy isn’t an oopsie baby, its a financial insurance policy. It was blatantly planned, even if we were to disregard the instagram ad she posted a few months back showcasing her ovulation prediction bracelet for “someday.” She married him after watching him nod off on the way to their first wedding, wasted at their second, and planned a pregnancy essentially by her own public admission while aware that he was using.
Coming from the mother of a child with a heroin addict/absent father, I’m absolutely disgusted that ANYONE would knowingly and willingly bring an innocent child into that situation. Trust and believe that woman is completely aware of his drug use. It’s appalling what people will do for money, including setting up their own flesh and blood for a lifetime of pain and confusion. I’m finished with MTV. Yuck.
I believe that the mysterious text Maci received in season six’s “Viva Las Vegas” is in regards to Ryan’s April arrest. The timing seems about right, especially since it was just a few episodes before the impromptu May wedding.
I think the rushed wedding was for different legal reasons not having to do with custody (duh!). It’s sad because throughout season seven, Ryan DOES NOT look excited about the “real” wedding AT ALL.
I think either MTV did a phenomenal editing job or Mac is an extraordinary actress. The show portrayed Mac on a pedestal the first few episodes before the engagement. EVERYONE kept saying how great she was, and how she was a wonderful influence on Ryan. She even encouraged Ryan to be cooperative with Maci, blah, blah, blah. Then, WHAM! She turns into a total bitch. It was quite extreme how it happened.
