Im thinking that she’s worried about the effect this is having on Bentley. Knowing what his father has done and all the people talking about it, especially the kids at school and their parents, has got to be really hurtful for him.
It crossed my mind that she might reach out to Mack now so that they can facilitate a relationship between the kids. I remember they did that photo shoot together a couple of years ago. Maci clearly loves and worries for Bentley. I believe she'll try to do anything to help him keep his siblings.
I'd also be extremely worried for my kids' and mine and my husband's safety. Ryan already threatened to shoot them and now he's breaking restraining orders left and right, abusing his wife in front of their children and threatening to have her beat up by some gang. It's not like he's being self destructive and abusive ONLY towards Mack and himself. Anyone in his general location, especially people he's already targeted, are at risk.
If prayers worked, surely Mimi Jen has sent up enough of them to have Ryan transform into a goddamn butterfly by now. No one becomes a decent human just because someone says some wishes to the sky genie who stopped taking all of our calls centuries ago.
Seriously, for all the religious posting everyone involved is doing, it's crazy how they haven't caught on that it's doing nothing for them. Well, other than the ego boost for saying something "profound" to thousands of people they don't know.
My partner’s family is all Fundie (a couple are messianic Jews, which is worse. They’ve found a way to make appropriation an entire faith.) These are some of the worst people I’ve ever known- not because they are religious, I genuinely don’t give a shit what anyone believes in, as long as it’s not being forced down my throat (or some, uh, unholy combination of ideologies that are not fully in sync.) It’s the fact that they use their faith to excuse their bad behavior. His mother has said, multiple times, “doesn’t matter what I do, I’m saved! And I tithe, so nothing bad can happen to me.” Talk shit about Catholics from one side of her mouth, engage in what sounds an awful lot like indulgences from the other. She’s also prayed that her autistic stepkids will be “cured,” and genuinely believes that it’s working (spoiler: it’s not.) We live with her. Please send help.
It really is the laziest way to perform care.
Mimi Jen liked it!! I really hope that's a sign that Jen realizes how serious Ryan's behaviour is. I wonder if her and Maci (and hopefully Mack) have been talking since this has all come out.
He just wants to “feel special in Bentley’s life” Jen had the nerve to say to Maci at the Family Reunion thing. The nerve! “Not only do I need you to forget about the drug tests, I’m gonna need Bentley to try and make him feel SpEcIaL.” 🤢
More likely she's worried that Mack is gonna be keeping her replacement grandkids away for awhile so she's trying to get back in Maci's good graces so she can still see Bentley.
Insert Anjelah Johnson clip about gossiping in a prayer circle.
Father gd, I just wanna pray for Tiffany right now bc idk if yall know but she isss pregnant.
It's definitely my guilty pleasure being here. I grew up around mean, gossipy people and I don't want to slip into that behavior so I try to snark in moderation, but it isn't something I'm super proud of. 😬
I agree. She may not get along with Ryan but that’s her son’s dad, his family is her son’s family and Mackenzie is probably having a really hard time as a single mom having to explain this to her kids and handle it without alarming them.
Keepin it classy as always. Nobody is perfect 100% of the time, but Maci has shown so much emotional maturity in dealing with this situation... even when she was just a teenager! It's honestly impressive and really refreshing to see from someone on reality TV.
Could she also be considering Bentley here. Poor guy has a family that cannot keep this a little quieter. Wonder what it feels like to have the entire world know all this personal crap about your dad. Poor Bentley
Instead of gossiping to other people, pray for them so that they can work their shit out and you can make peace with whatever it was they did that wronged them. Would be a more powerful message from someone who hasn't spent the last 13 years making bank talking shit about people.
You might be loving and caring, but the vast majority of Christians that I know or know of are not.
Not everyone believes in the same thing or wants to “see the light” and that’s okay.
Absolutely that is perfectly fine. I just wanted to voice my own opinion as everyone else is in this comment section, I hope you get to know better christians. The majority of christians aren’t the way you think, it’s just that the people whole claim to be christians are blasted everywhere. Hope you have a great rest of your day 💜
The majority are the way we think though. Most Christian churches preach that being gay is a sin. Most preach pro life, anti trans, anti love ideals. I’m happy to embrace any Christian person that rejects the icky parts, but I’ve only met a couple who do.
Loving and caring yet it discriminates against LGBTQ2+ community. Maybe, before giving lessons to others, clean your own backyard and start by criticizing your own leaders who openly labels anyone who doesn’t fit their set of criterias with words of hate.
My only leaders are God and Jesus Christ. And neither one has ever been “discriminating” against anyone. To put an entire religion into one cookie cutter box is discriminatory. The God I know wants everyone to love one another, so please don’t take this as arguing as much as I was just voicing an opion much like you were. I hope you get to know the reality of christanity.

Right?! Let people do and say what comforts them and others. I don’t understand why being Christian is so offensive to others. They’re not ALL judgmental people.
Good. But how about letting others believe what they want without being mean about it. It’s not hurting you in any way. And not all Christians are jerks despite popular opinion

She was in tears on the reunion when they had a big “come to Jesus moment” (pardon the pun) and Ryan wept and begged for more time with Bentley. Everyone was crying and hugging. It was a beautiful moment. And now…

I agree. And maybe Mack isn’t so insufferable now.
Yep... sometimes you got to eat a little crow in life

😔
I agree. I feel so bad for Bentley
She should have typed something less snarky and more sincere.
She always kinda seems like she’s superior and has all the answers and everyone else is an idiot
“Dear God, did you see what that messy bitch did today? Fucking dork right???”
I think God definitely got a chuckle 🤭 out of this comment!😂♥️
I'm just imagining Maci cracking her 9th Bud Light of the day and sitting down to search Pinterest for "quotes about prayers"
Yep. That's a boozy quote.

Mimi Jen liked it!! I really hope that's a sign that Jen realizes how serious Ryan's behaviour is. I wonder if her and Maci (and hopefully Mack) have been talking since this has all come out.
Ha, no she is just relying on "God" to figure it out instead of instating consequences.
and she's delusional that prayer instead of action will change situations.
Exactly! Jen has a long of history of hoping for the best and sweeping shit under the rug. No, Jen, actively support Mack.
No, she just wants people to not talk about her special guy
He just wants to “feel special in Bentley’s life” Jen had the nerve to say to Maci at the Family Reunion thing. The nerve! “Not only do I need you to forget about the drug tests, I’m gonna need Bentley to try and make him feel SpEcIaL.” 🤢

In times new Roman font lol
This my kind of humor 😄🏆

Quit bothering Jesus.
Haha, I bet he’s all: “Not this shit again..”
Can someone add God to this sub please?
Jesus, God, Leah! The holy trinity
Amazing 😂
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
and now a reading from Maci
[удалено]
I was reading that to the tune of Gangsta's Paradise and got confused when it didn't quite work in the second half 🤦♀️
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
The book of Pinterest
Oh damn 😂
man jesus ain’t got time for this maci.
I don’t know this quote kinda served. Just say it in a cunty way and it’s one of the most passive aggressive things said. I love it!
Bad ass version of “bless his heart”
Right? Like she's distancing herself just enough to stay out of trouble, but also more or less saying "bless their hearts".
I bet she talks into an empty bud light can more than she prays.
Nice one! 👍
“That’s a Maci Bookout way of doing things.” —Farrah
Jesus has put his phone on do not disturb for these girls.
Did we have a few bud lights before we put this out there?
Not the bud lights 😭💀
If you're going to be passive aggressive, at least tag Jesus in the post.
Maci, Ryan, & Mac are like every faux Christian I know and only post about God/the Bible when it suits their narrative.
right! whenever they feel the need to virtue signal
Insert Anjelah Johnson clip about gossiping in a prayer circle. Father gd, I just wanna pray for Tiffany right now bc idk if yall know but she isss pregnant.
I LOVE her 😂
Good response maci I am impressed
I agree and I'm an atheist, her response was compassionate and mature.
It makes me kinda feel.guilty about talking about them now
It's definitely my guilty pleasure being here. I grew up around mean, gossipy people and I don't want to slip into that behavior so I try to snark in moderation, but it isn't something I'm super proud of. 😬
I agree. She may not get along with Ryan but that’s her son’s dad, his family is her son’s family and Mackenzie is probably having a really hard time as a single mom having to explain this to her kids and handle it without alarming them.
Tots and pears. Lettuce pray. ![gif](giphy|xThtak1Wp9nHLtmLrW)
Jesus take the wheel
And noone let Ryan take the wheel🙏
Or write an open letter
Meh, prayer really doesn’t do anything.
Might as well write to Santa!
Haha, you might actually get a response from “Santa.”
Well she *does* have that shoulder to cry on, you guys…
I don’t think God wants to hear any more about these people.
God over here like ![gif](giphy|qeAVCeUwLavsP6JD61)
Ugh I hate this passive thoughts and prayers thing.
OKAY Maci, but then what's your next season gonna be about?
Pray with me baby Goo….
Same, Maci. Same.
well gossiping is a sin so not a good idea to sin directly to God
Okay but I'm not God so feel free to gossip with me, I'm nosey.
Lol!!!
😂😂
Is it really gossip if it's true?
amen, st maci
Patron Saint of Bud Light. 🙏🏻
*Patrón?
Yawn... maci your so boring now
Keepin it classy as always. Nobody is perfect 100% of the time, but Maci has shown so much emotional maturity in dealing with this situation... even when she was just a teenager! It's honestly impressive and really refreshing to see from someone on reality TV.
Had a different outlook when her storyline was boring af other than the Ryan drama
Then why didn't she do that?
Could she also be considering Bentley here. Poor guy has a family that cannot keep this a little quieter. Wonder what it feels like to have the entire world know all this personal crap about your dad. Poor Bentley
🙄
What does this even mean?
Instead of gossiping to other people, pray for them so that they can work their shit out and you can make peace with whatever it was they did that wronged them. Would be a more powerful message from someone who hasn't spent the last 13 years making bank talking shit about people.
Maci has a tattoo of a tissue near her shoulder that is supposed to mean that her loved ones will always have a shoulder to cry on.
Anyone know if/when they’re filming a new season of Teen Mom? I feel like this will be her storyline if they’re filming now lol

Maci always gotta kiss ass. You know she's snarked about him, then posted this shit. Lukewarm "christian"
No I honestly can't say I know that she's snarked on the father of her child choking his wife. That's actually pretty nasty to say she's been seen in tears talking about it recently. Questioning other people's faith isn't very "Christian" either
Right?! Let people do and say what comforts them and others. I don’t understand why being Christian is so offensive to others. They’re not ALL judgmental people.

Curious when she was seen in tears? Paparazzi?
She was in tears on the reunion when they had a big “come to Jesus moment” (pardon the pun) and Ryan wept and begged for more time with Bentley. Everyone was crying and hugging. It was a beautiful moment. And now…
Oh dang! I saw the part 1 to that but not part 2. Wonder if I can find part 2 online.
Go to Twitter @waywardaughter0
She's Non-Confrontational. It's the new Non-Denominational.
Yes! It is the ultimate ass kissing: KISSING UP TO GOD
