TEEN Mom Maci Bookout’s husband, Taylor McKinney, warned “you come after my wife, I’m coming for you” after their fight with her ex, Ryan Edwards’ parents.
Both families have been feuding since Ryan claimed that Bentley didn’t want to come to his baby brother’s birthday party because Maci had influenced him.

After The Ashley’s Reality Roundup revealed that Maci, 29, “exploded” at Ryan’s parents during the upcoming season reunion, Taylor offered a deeper look into the feud and where he stands.
He told The Hollywood Gossip about the upcoming episode: “You’ll have to see the reunion play out on TV but one thing I am always going to do is stand up for my wife and kids.
“You come for my wife and kids? I’m coming for you.”
Taylor’s response to the feud comes after a production source told The Ashley’s that Maci lost her cool after she faced off with Ryan’s parents during the season reunion.
Producers reportedly had tried to get the couple to face off with Ryan and his wife Mackenzie at first, but they refused.
“You could cut the tension with a knife when they were all sitting out there,” an insider told the outlet.
“But everything was OK until the very end of the segment.”
Jen was reportedly concerned that Maci was acting angry and distant and kept asking her what was wrong.
“Maci kept giving vague answers and was making it clear she was upset but would not say why,” the source said.
Taylor finally “exploded on” Jen and Larry, the source said, and slammed Ryan’s parenting of his 12-year-old son, Bentley.
“He told them Ryan is a ‘piece of s**t’ and that he, unlike Ryan, has been there for Bentley for a long time,” the source said.
“He told Larry and Jen that Ryan should be more like he is.”
“[Taylor] kind of got up and eventually asked Larry if he wanted to take things outside. It didn’t get that far, though. Nothing got physical.”
Maci then allegedly came to blows with the Edwards, calling Jen a “manipulative b***h” before they stormed off the stage.
It is not known if they later returned to resume filming of the Teen Mom OG reunion.
Earlier this week, Maci clapped back at Ryan for calling her a “spiteful b***h”.
“I really wanted to post some ‘petty b***h’ (and hilarious) comments, but I’ll wait until they can tell me the definition of ‘petty’ without googling it and reading it aloud,” she tweeted.
In the latest episode of Teen Mom, Ryan accused Maci of holding their son Bentley hostage from his family.
Mackenzie told Ryan: “I am responsible for these kids’ emotions and feelings and they don’t deserve that. It’s one thing to be a petty b**ch, fine, but when you’re including my kids, that’s not okay with me.”
“She’s just a spiteful evil b**ch,” concluded Ryan.
Ryan’s hurtful comments were made as he relayed to Mackenzie that Bentley would not be attending his half-brother Jagger’s birthday at their house and would be going to his grandparents’ house instead.
He shares Jagger, two, and daughter Stella, one, with Mackenzie.
Bentley had been setting boundaries with his father, including choosing to not visit the house and asking his father to attend therapy sessions with him.
Ryan has yet to agree to go with him to joint sessions.
Bentley told his mom: “I haven’t seen him in forever, and then that’d just be a big jump from just like, not seeing him, and then going straight to his house…”
Bentley became estranged from Ryan in part due to his dad’s long battle with substance abuse and rehab stint in 2018.
As well as Bentley, Maci shares daughter, Jayde, five, and son, Maverick, five, with husband Taylor.
