‘Teen Mom’ star Maci Bookout's old video sparks outrage over alleged toddler 'mistreatment'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An old clip of 'Teen Mom' star Maci Bookout has resurfaced online, stirring up excitement and controversy among fans. The video shows Maci trying to paint her daughter Jayde's nails when Jayde was just a toddler, under two years old.
In the clip, Maci is heard threatening Jayde if she doesn’t cooperate during the nail-painting session. The situation escalates when Jayde can't stay still, leading Maci to appear to smack her on the belly out of frustration.
The resurfaced video has sparked significant backlash, with many viewers expressing concern over Maci's behavior. Critics argue that her actions were inappropriate, given Jayde's young age and her inability to fully understand or cooperate during the activity. On Reddit, one fan wrote, "I don’t understand why she gets mad at a baby for acting like a baby."
One critic noted, "Same, especially when it has to do with something non-baby, like painting nails. The dumbassery is off the charts." "For what though? Why did she need to “tummy pat” her (kind of aggressively with a shitty tone) because she was slightly moving, whilst her dumbass mom tries to paint her nails? Like this was just unnecessary imo," added another fan.

Maci later had two more children with her husband, Taylor McKinney. Their daughter, Jayde Carter McKinney, was born in May 2015, and their son, Maverick Reed McKinney, arrived a year later in May 2016. Maci's journey as a mother to these three children has been a significant part of her story on 'Teen Mom OG' and its spinoffs.
