Ryan has struggled with drugs for years and has been to rehab several times as well as facing multiple drug-related arrests.
The 33-year-old sparked concern while talking to Mackenzie outside their home about PCOS month, a month dedicated to raising awareness for polycystic ovary syndrome.
Ryan asked: “Why does it need a month… why… I’m just confused like why do you need awareness about something that you can’t control?”
Mackenzie replied that it was held to raise awareness for the syndrome.
She added: “That would just be really tough to have to go through that with Stella [their daughter]. I pray it doesn’t happen to her.”
Ryan said, “Yeah, that wouldn’t be very,” before laughing and saying, “very fun at all.”
Viewers took to social media to express their fears for the reality star after the scene.
“I don’t know if he is high or not but I have watched him for years and he blames Maci for everything,” one wrote.
Another added: “I feel like we can always tell with Ryan if you watch an episode or two if he looks clean. It’s those eyes.”
A third posted: “I’m a recovering addict this 12th of this month will be my fourth year clean and it’s obvious he isn’t sober.”
The Celeb Report has contacted MTV for comment. Ryan’s had a strained relationship with his ex-fiancee Maci, 29, and their son Bentley, 12, following his years of rehab and jail stints for drug abuse.
His legal trouble with drugs started in March 2017 when he was issued a citation for simple possession of heroin.
He was caught on camera slurring his words and nodding off while on his way to his wedding with wife Mackenzie on Teen Mom.
It was announced that Ryan checked into rehab for the second time after the episode aired.
Then in March 2018, he was arrested for petition to revoke when he failed a court-ordered drug test.
The reality star was arrested again in July 2018 for breaking probation, and in November of that year he completed his third rehab stint.
