Maci Bookout Confesses to Drunken Fights With Taylor McKinney

Teen Mom fans have been obsessing over the life of Maci Bookout more than usual in recent weeks, but most of the rumors and speculation have had to do with Maci’s ex, Ryan Edwards. Maci alleges that Edwards is battling addiction and that she fears for his safety, as he seems to be surrounded by enablers. But a preview for an upcoming episode has some fans arguing that Maci should clean up her own backyard before worrying about Ryan. The clip shows Maci opening up about a different problem in her life, one that she’s kept hidden up to this point. Since she married Taylor McKinney in October of last year, Maci has done a fine job of depicting her life as far more stable than those of her co-stars. It turns out, that portrayal relies heavily on Taylor and Maci’s ability to keep their beer-fueled conflicts off camera. For years now, rumors about Maci drinking heavily (even, allegedly, while pregnant) have plagued the 25-year-old. Aside from mini-controversies over her drinking, Maci has successfully avoided the sort of interpersonal drama that makes the other Teen Moms such divisive figures. So it’s strange that at this point, she would choose confess to boozy blowouts with her husband: “Obviously having three kids is catching up to us,” Maci says in the clip. “Eighty five percent of the time we’re good to go. The 15 percent is hell.” Bookout says she and McKinney do their best to keep that other 15 percent off camera. “All of our stress and emotions we take out on each other,” she says. “When the cameras leave we’ll drink and freak out. It’s always literally the smallest things. It’s such small stuff but it blows up.” Asked if she feels attending couples therapy might help alleviate some of her problems, Madi dejectedly replies: “It’s not going to go away.” This isn’t the first time that fans have been giving reason to believe that Maci is giving a false impression of her life. She seems to be more skilled than her co-stars in terms of presenting her situation as far more stable than it actually is. But even the most carefully-constructed facades tend to crumble in time. Watch Teen Mom online and decide for yourself if Maci seems to be hiding something.

Amanda Stanton: Returning to Bachelor in Paradise!

If you don’t find love first, or second time, try again.  That appears to be the mantra Amanda Stanton is sticking to since it has been confirmed that she will be returning for Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise .  You may be scratching your head because, well, she found love last summer on the hit ABC reality series. However, things have changed since she was loved up with Josh Murray.  For a start, the two of them have been apart for a few months now, and the current state of their relationship seems friendly. That is If you consider Josh getting the police involved to get a car back he purchased for Amanda.  They’re on the outs, and that’s probably part of the reason why the reality TV star is making another go at love on ABC.  With Bachelor Nation couples dropping like flies, there may be some surprising cast members on the next season of the frothy Summer series.  If you were hoping for Josh to stage an encore to the series, then you can keep on hoping. A source told Us Weekly that he has no intention of appearing on the series.  However, there’s no telling what these reality TV stars would do if they were offered the right amount of zeros on a check.  Amanda has been vocal in the past about what went wrong with the relationship, and it sure sounds like it was all down to the luxurious dates in front of the cameras coming to an end.  “When we were on the show, it felt like I had met the love of my life,” she told Us. “It’s really hard, I think, to move on from that. I think we’re both having a hard time moving on.” “There’s a lot of things and situations in the real world you don’t experience while you’re there [in Paradise],” she added. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Ben Higgins was on the show and we got to see them get together? We could only imagine Lauren Bushnell’s reaction if that were to happen.  Bachelor in Paradise returns this August! View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 4: Cast Members Who Need to Be There
