Ryan Edwards’ Fiancée Mackenzie Standifer Seemingly Confirms Drug Rumors From 'Teen Mom OG'

“Teen Mom OG” star Maci Bookout shocked some fans Monday when she outted ex-fiancé, saying he was addicted to drugs. While the accusation was surprising to most, what seemed more unlikely was that Edwards’ fiancée would confirm the rumor.

After Bookout’s statement, where she said the father of her oldest child needs rehab, Standifer took to Twitter to defend her fiancé. In the same breath, she also seemed to confirm that Edwards was struggling. Since her comment was brief, it can’t be 100 percent determined if she was admitting Edwards was battling an addiction to drugs.

“Here’s a thought… maybe instead of making assumptions and tearing people down, you could spend that time praying for us instead,” she tweeted Tuesday. “Strong is beautiful.”

Standifer further hinted that things within their relationship were fine. “Being married someday is going to be so dope,” she retweeted. “Like you get to come home to your best friend every single day and just do life together.”

Even though Standifer issued a statement to the blog The Ashley about the drug rumors, she was still indirect, unable to open up about Edwards’ apparent problems.

“Let them wonder, let them assume, and then let them eat cake,” Mackenzie told The Ashley last week, before the episode aired. “I don’t feel like I need to defend myself to viewers. When they walk in my shoes or pay my bills, then maybe. But I have absolutely no respect for individuals who choose to put everyone else down.”

Bookout told Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell on “Teen Mom OG” Monday that she was worried about the father of their 7-year-old son, Bentley.

“Everyone else around him is too afraid of what it will look like more than his health…it’s all denial,” she said. “They all know.”

Portwood, who is a recovering addict, agreed. She said she saw the signs. “Ryan’s f---ed up,” the Indiana native said. “I watch it, I see it, I know it. Where he’s at right now, when I see him, I know where he’s at and I’m like, ‘Wow, he needs some guidance.'”

However, Bookout, 25, said that it was his family and friends who would hold him back from getting help. “He would do it,” she said of rehab. “It’s everyone else around him that’s afraid to admit it. He’s got me. Everyone else around him is too afraid of what it will look like more than his health. It’s all denial. The hardest thing is to see Ryan not love himself. He’s a person who deserves to love himself.”

Bookout praised husband Taylor McKinney for being there for her while she worried about her ex. The couple has two children together.

“I’m going to be like, you have to go to rehab,” she told McKinney on Monday’s episode. “Right now it’s about saving his life. Most nights I’m crying in our bed talking to you about whether or not today is the day he’s going to die.”

Standifer accepted Edwards’ proposal in December 2016. They are slated to tie the knot Nov. 18, 2017 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Radar Online exclusively reported.
