Back in June Ryan Edwards married Mackenzie Standifer in a ceremony that was documented by a Teen Mom OG camera crew.
Viewers were stunned to see Ryan pass out while driving to his own wedding, and they were relieved to hear he had checked into rehab shotly after saying “I do.”
With professional help, Ryan was able to beat the heroin addiction that nearly claimed his life.
But he didn’t stay sober for long…
Ryan’s Struggles
Ryan was treated for his addiction to heroin last summer. He claims to have been sober ever since, but Teen Mom OG cameras tell a different story.
A Shocking Wedding
Fans were stunned when Edwards lost consciousness while driving to his own wedding. Shortly after marrying Mackenzie Standifer, Ryan checked into rehab … but it hasn’t been smooth sailing in the months since,
Meme Mess
Not long after his release, Ryan denigrated his ex, Maci Bookout, with a series of memes about “baby mamas.” Many fans suspected then that he was no longer sober.
Off the Wagon
Now, we have proof that Ryan is off the wagon. Fans are shocked, but certain members of his inner circle don’t seem to mind.
Wedding Number 2
Ryan and Mackenzie recently held a second wedding ceremony to make up for the first. Scenes from that ceremony will be featured in this week’s episode of Teen Mom OG. And it seems fans are in for yet another shock.
Sober No More
In a preview clip released today, Edwards can be seen drinking beer at his second wedding. Those around him don’t seem to mind.
No Shame
Amazingly, it seems Ryan made no effort to hide his intoxication from the camera crew. And fans are not happy.
A Quick Shot
“I want to go get a shot real quick,†Ryan can be heard saying before the ceremony. Again, his family and friends don’t bat an eye.
Unprepared
Despite the fact that it’s his second wedding to Mackenzie, a tipsy Ryan claims he hasn’t prepared his vows, as he was supposed to. “No! Wing it,” he tells his groomsmen.
Why the Lack of Concern?
Fans are baffled that Ryan’s friends and family don’t seem bothered by the fact that he’s drinking to the point of intoxcation just months after completing rehab. And they’ve come up with a number of theories as to why that might be the case.
Wedding Jitters
Some believe his loved ones turned a blind eye due to the fact that it was Ryan’s wedding day. Perhaps they didn’t want to rock the boat and run the risk of ruining his and Mackenzie’s big day.
Different Drugs
Others believe his family is okay with Ryan’s booze consumption because he’s no longer using heroin. Of course, addiction counselors would caution that it’s not uncommon for addicts to replace one substance with another.
Validation For Maci
Many fans are more concerned with what this might mean for Ryan’s future, particularly wth regard to his ongoing custody battle. For months, Maci Bookout has been claiming for Ryan is an unfit father, and this new footage seems to support that argument.
Maci Haters
Bookout has been repeatedly slammed on social media for giving Ryan a hard time during his recovery. But it’s possible she knew what fans didn’t – namely, that Ryan hasn’t truly recovered at all.
Custody Crisis
Maci and Ryan are locked in a bitter custody battle over their son, Bentley. Now, many are wondering if Maci will use the evidence of Ryan’s drinking to have him stripped of visitation rights.
Mandatory Testing?
Maci has demanded that Ryan submit to drug testing before he’s allowed to spend time alone with Bentley. Thus far, she hasn’t been able to get a judge to agree with her, but that may soon change.
Caught In the Middle
Poor Bentley is currently caught in the middle of a battle between his parents. But it seems Maci genuinely has his best interests at heart.
So What’s Next?
On social media, many fans are wondering what will come next for Maci and Ryan. And it seems they won’t have to wait long for an answer.
Maci’s Move
If Maci wasn’t aware of this footage and is just seeing it for the first time like the rest of us, she might be able to act quickly and have Ryan’s custody rights taken away as early as this week. Stay tuned, because this situation could get even uglier in a hurry!
