TEEN Mom Mackenzie McKee was slammed on Reddit for sharing a photo of her son Gannon posing with a dead snake.
Mackenzie, 26, posted the photo of her nine-year-old son holding the deceased reptile, which unleashed an uproar of comments on social media.
One Reddit user commented: “Snakes can still bite after they’re dead. How does she not know this growing up in Oklahoma?!”
Another wrote: “Why do people find it so hard to respect animals. I truly don’t understand. You don’t have to like them, just leave them alone.”
Another chimed in saying: “I really wish MTV would get rid of this chick! I can’t think of one decent thing about her!”
The reality star moved to Florida with the hopes it would help her recover form a very difficult time.
The mom of three admitted she “crawled out of a very dark scary place mentally” after she relocated.
Mackenzie tweeted she was visiting family in Florida for July 4th but also shared: “No I am not going to stay. Just to visit.
“Florida has helped me heal, see more, thrive, and crawl out of a very dark scary place mentally. The sunny state has my heart.”
Her mother Angie passed away in December 2019 after she had lost her battle to brain cancer.
Since her mom’s death, the MTV star has struggled with depression and previously even admitted she contemplated suicide.
The star relocated to Miami initially without her husband, Josh, but with their three children.
This spring, the Teen Mom star showed off her amazing figure in a pink bikini and black sandals as she posed on a hammock on a Florida beach.
Along with her pics, she wrote: “I use to come up with a million reasons why NOT to leave my home town and live wherever I know I will thrive.
“But once you stop coming up with excuses, magic happens baby.
“In case [you’re] wondering if you should leave your small hometown… YOU SHOULD!”
A Teen Mom fan also recently asked Mackenzie over Twitter: “Did @MTV ask @DouthitKenzie to move to #LakewoodRanch to save on costs since they also film @SiestaKey here?
“Also, low-key wondering if she really is in Sarasota or if she’s in Manatee since LWR straddles both. #WelcomeToFlorida.”
However, Mackenzie was quick to respond as she wrote: “I chose this by myself. Y’all got crazy assumptions.”
The reality star is mom 8-year-old Gannon, 6-year-old Jaxie, and 3-year-old Broncs with Josh,
During an Instagram Q&A, a fan asked the TV star, “do you want more kids”?
Mackenzie replied: “God has truly blessed me. With Type 1 diabetes I have chosen to not have any more on my own.
“But plan to adopt one day. I pray about it often.”
