Who are Ryan Edwards' parents? 'Teen Mom OG' star Maci McKinney targets Larry and Jen in explosive tweets

Larry, Jen, and Maci's relationship were strained further during filming of reunion episode

The tension among 'Teen Mom OG' cast members has reached a fever pitch. In a series of tweets, Maci McKinney addressed claims made by ex Ryan Edwards' parents Jen and Larry on the show. The folks shared that they were not allowed to see their grandson Bentley, 12. But that's not the case? 

Maci highlighted Bentley's weekly schedule in one of her many posts, which made it amply clear that he was there to see his grandparents and father when he had spare time. "Not as often as you used to”- - He failed to mention it’s bc Bentley is in school during the week&out of town for sports 2 weekends a month... the weekends he wanted to & was free to go over there... he was there? I’m Confused," she wrote. Unfortunately, she has had to explain herself repeatedly but maybe Jen and Larry are being concerned grandparents? More about them in a bit.

Although not much is known about Ryan's parents, from what we have seen so far on the show, it appears the couple comes as a united front. They are truly a team and share a great rapport, which explains how they were able to tackle Ryan's heroin addiction followed by his sobriety journey. That's one good deed done but not enough for damage control given how they went behind Maci's back to make hurtful accusations against her. 

Even before Maci had a chance to straighten things out with the seniors, Larry went ahead and spoke with the tabloids. Naturally, that added a massive dent in their already strained relationship. The after-effects were evident during the reunion taping. Ashley Reality Roundup revealed that Maci and her husband Taylor McKinney came to blows with the Edwards and it was not a pretty sight. The McKinneys were furious and eventually stormed off the set. 

"Maci kept giving vague answers and was making it clear she was upset but would not say why," a source informed the outlet and added that Taylor "exploded" on Jen and Larry, he told them "Ryan is a ‘piece of s**t’ and that he, unlike Ryan, has been there for Bentley for a long time.”

Meanwhile, fans have tweeted in support of the young mother who continues to struggle with the blames placed on her by the Edwards family. 

"Keep on doing you-There is nothing you can do to help that family of Ryan's, they will continually be in denial of the root of the issue. Bennie is getting old enough to see this for himself. Count your stars you are where you are," one posted, while another shared: "Honestly I tried REALLLLLYYY hard to like them, being an addict in recovery myself. But they’re basically trashing themselves as if you’re the wicked witch of the west. Jen and Larry I always loved too until now they’re “defending” somehow who doesn’t look or act sober."

"I saw tonight’s show am I’m sorry but I agree wit you about Bentley and I don’t like the way they talk about you you are one of my favorites I am a really big fan," a fan expressed.
