Mackenzie Standifer sure is something else, isn't she? She's only been on Teen Mom OG for a few seasons now, but she's definitely one of the most talked-about cast members. And yeah, that's because her life is a complete and utter disaster, but facts are facts, and the fact is that Mackenzie gets a whole lot of attention. Right now, she has to be going through a hard time, what with Ryan being in jail again. But she recently spilled her guts on Instagram Live video, and honestly, things sound worse than we ever imagined … 1. Goodness Gracious Can you imagine what it must be like to be Mackenzie Standifer? Like, can you even really imagine it? 2. One Crazy Ride She just turned 22, and while most people her age are bar-hopping or fresh out of college or, you know, still pretty much kids, she just had her second child with her second husband, who also happens to be a heroin addict reality star. 3. No Thanks Think of the person you were at 22, then imagine that person in Mackenzie’s situation. It’s just too much, right? 4. Nope Nope Nope She got pregnant when she was in high school, married the baby’s father at 17, got divorced a couple of years later, then met Ryan and got engaged to him after just months of dating. 5. Too Fast They got married a few months later, and then he went straight to rehab, because oops, it turned out he’d been on heroin. He left rehab early, and he and Mackenzie went right back to pretending that everything was totally fine. 6. Spoiler: It was not fine. View Slideshow

It's a tough time in the life of Mackenzie Standifer. Just weeks after her husband, Ryan Edwards, finished rehab after 90 days of treatment, he relapsed and was arrested for heroin possession. These days, Ryan remains in jail, at least until the beginning of his trial in April. The situation has led many to wonder if Mackenzie has finally had enough. For a long time, Standifer was silent on the matter, but now — she's speaking out. And some fans are very surprised by what she has to say. Take a look: 1. The Not-So-Happy Couple No doubt about it, Ryan and Mackenzie have been faced with one rough patch after another. 2. Ups and Downs Ryan’s first stint in rehab came just days after he and Mackenzie got married. 3. A Shocking Scene The decision to seek treatment came after Ryan lost consciousness while driving to the wedding, a scene that was captured by Teen Mom OG cameras. 4. Hard Times Ryan’s first time in rehab was brief — and he relapsed almost immediately after leaving treatment. 5. The Downward Spiral In the months to come, Edwards would endure numerous brushes with the law resulting in 3 arrests within the span of 18 months. 6. Back to the ‘Hab Eventually, he checked back into rehab, this time completing a 90-day course of treatment. View Slideshow
Once again, Cardi B is going live on Instagram and saying what we're all thinking. This time, she feels hurt and betrayed over reports that Jussie Smollett staged his own assault . She also says that it's possible that the police are framing Jussie … which she can believe because she says that police once framed her . “I’m really disappointed in him,” Cardi says of Jussie Smollett on Instagram Live. “I feel like he f–ked up Black History Month, bro. Like, damn.” “I’m not gonna say, yet,” she notes. “Until he say it out his mouth that it was fake and the shit was staged,” “I don’t want to completely blame him,” Cardi adds. She explains that her reluctance is “because somebody I was talking to they said police in Chicago are racists.” The Chicago PD is infamous, even among other metropolitan police departmants. (It took 13 months for the police to release dash cam video that showed Laquan McDonald walking away from police, proving that his death was a murder) “So,” Cardi suggests. “They might probably try to frame him and make him look like he’s a liar.” “But if he’s not,” Cardi continues. “Then bro you f–ked up, for real.” “Like, why would you do that?” she asks. A staged hate crime, especially one so famous, will be used as fodder to cast doubt on future real hate crime reports. “You got Donald Trump immunity to f–king laugh,” Cardi accuses. Cardi laments: “You make motherf–kers look bad.” “You know why I want to give him the benefit of the doubt?” Cardi rhetorically asks her followers. “I remember about 2 years ago … my cousin got into an argument with this boy, this guy, like road rage,” she says. “And my cousin got out of the car,” she narrates. “And I got out of the car.” “And you know I'm always throwing s–t,” Cardi notes. “So I threw the guy a bottle of water.” “And the guy,” she says. “He doesn't really want to fight my cousin, he wants to really fight me.” “So, the police came, and they put me in like, a headlock,” Cardi accuses. “I got on Instagram,” she notes. “And said how the police got me in a headlock.” “And since I went on Instagram, I had 12 come into my home, calling my phone, leaving me letters saying that I have to speak to them,” she describes. Various police departments have been accused of using intimidation tactics, even agaist celebrities, in order to cover for wrongdoings. “And then, when I didn't speak to them, I went to my grandmother's house,” Cardi claims. Cardi says that police were “trying to harass my cousin and everybody to talk to them.” “And since I never gave a statement to the police,” she says. “They put out a statement saying that I did it to promote my album” “So,” Cardi explains. “I don't wanna call Jussie Smollett a complete liar.” “But they do claim that they have evidence from both the brothers [to whom they spoke],” she notes. “I don't know,” Cardi admits. “I want to see what else.” Don't we all. “Because if he did that … he really f–ked up, bro,” Cardi says. “This February, you have so many people standing for you.” “I mean, why would you do that, bro?” she asks. Maybe the weirdest thing about 2019 is how deeply relatable Cardi B's viral rants, whether they're about Jussie or politics, have been. Like Cardi, we are incredibly disappointed at reports that Jussie staged his own attack. As she says, this could be used against the black acommunity and the LGBTQ+ community, and is political fodder for Trump. That said, like Cardi, we have heard troubling things about the Chicago Police Department. We would all like to have a clearer picture of the evidence before rendering our judgment.
Mackenzie McKee may not be one of the household names of the Teen Mom franchise, but she still has quite a following on social media. And like the rest of her former colleagues, she sometimes says the wrong thing, resulting in major backlash from that massive following. Earlier this week, McKee shared what she thought was an amusing anecdote about a disastrous day of running errands with her three children. Unfortunately for Mackenzie, her followers weren't terribly amused by accounts of her kids murdering small animals and defecating in public. Mackenzie didn't take the criticism lightly and she responded in a way that left some fans deeply concerned. Take a look: 1. Return of the Mack You may have forgotten about Mackenzie, but the former Teen Mom 3 star is officially back to making headlines — just probably not in the manner she had hoped. 2. Happy Family Mackenzie had three kids with husband Josh McKee, and judging by her latest Facebook post, it seems it all gets to be bit much for her sometimes. 3. Bad Idea McKee shared a lengthy Facebook post in which she revealed that she basically allowed her kids to run wild while running errands — and the results were predictably disastrous. 4. What Was She Thinking? “Pet land: if that poor ferret died because Broncs and Gannon we’re pulling at it from each end fighting over it. Sorry, however, they really are not worth $200 though,” McKee wrote, much to the chagrin of both animal lovers and grammar enthusiasts. 5. Facepalm Mackenzie also apologized to a young couple that had “noodles thrown in their hair” at a Japanese steakhouse. 6. Wait … What? Side note: Who in the hell takes toddlers to a Japanese steakhouse? View Slideshow
If you’re a Teen Mom OG fan, then you’re no doubt aware of Ryan Edwards’ struggles with addiction . Following numerous arrests and multiple stints in rehab, Ryan is sober these days, and he’s reportedly fully committed to making amends for his past misdeeds and being the best husband and father he can be. Throughout his struggles, Ryan has benefited from the unwavering support of his wife, Mackenzie Standifer. Many fans of the show have openly wondered how Mackenzie could stand by Ryan’s side throughout his numerous relapses and embarrassing incidents such as the time he lost consciousness on their wedding day . But Mackenzie is up on the latest research, and it seems she’s well aware that while Ryan’s recovery is his responsibility, his addiction is not entirely his fault. Mackenzie has been taking to Instagram this week to try and educate her followers on the escalating opioid crisis in America. She speaks from experience, of course, as heroin and other opioids were Ryan’s drug of choice. And it seems that her recent research has made Mackenzie acutely aware of how lucky Ryan is to have escaped with his life. “I just wanted to hop on here and kind of show you guys the research I had done,” she told fans during a recent Instagram Live “This is going to blow your mind.” She then displayed the two charts below in hopes of impressing upon her fans the severity of the situation. “If this isn’t a crisis, I don’t know what is,” Standifer said. “Don’t believe me? You’d be surprised. A lot of the time it starts so innocent and ends in a revolving door, a never-ending cycle that can’t be easily stopped,” she added. “Have you ever wondered what your local pain clinic was handing out? Opiates. Educate yourselves.” “Let’s get talking. Let’s stop this. Let’s do something about it,” Mackenzie told her followers. Of course, this is the internet in 2019, so it’s not surprising that Standifer received some pushback from followers who had not researched the as thoroughly (if they did any research at all). “It’s not a crisis,” one commenter shot back. “People do drugs, it’s a CHOICE.” “[People are] more likely to die from an overdose than a car accident, but [I’m] still getting messages like these,” she wrote under a screenshot of the conversation. “This is why I CHOOSE to not shut up.” Fortunately, it seems that Mackenzie has received more support than criticism for her efforts. “Tell them about how REGULAR people get hooked on prescription drugs because of injury or surgery or chronic pain!” one fan wrote. “[These are] not crackheads in the street who are choosing to get high!” “You’re right! It’s people you’d NEVER expect. It’s lawyers, doctors, high power officials, the soccer mom in her minivan. It does NOT discriminate,” she responded. It’s a little upsetting that Ryan and her followers apparently believe “crackheads in the street” are less deserving of continued life than “high power officials,” but at least they’re moving in the right direction. The overdose rate is up roughly 500 percent since 1990, and the opioid crisis is a major factor in the continued decline of overall life expectancy in America. Fortunately, there are public figures like Mackenzie who are willing to use their platform to shed light on this alarming issue. View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards: Out of Rehab and Loving Life!

Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon, a company that allows you to order pretty much anything online. According to a troubling new rumor, however, Jeff Bezos also believes he can do pretty much anything within the confines of a relationship… … even sleep with another woman! Based on the reporting of multiple outlets, this is the reason Bezos’ wife, Mackenzie, has filed for divorce after 25 years marriage . Bezos allegedly cheated on his better half last year with the estranged wife of another businss mogul. Such reliable insiders as E! Online, Us Weekly and, yes, even The National Enquirer allege that Bezos started seeing former Good Day L.A. co-host Lauren Sanchez about eight months ago. Sanchez is married to Patrick Whitesell, the co-CEO of major Hollywood agency WME and a good friend of the Amazon CEO. The Enquirer writes that Sanchez and Bezos would get together behind the backs of their spouses, going off on exotic trips aboard Bezos’ private jet and even exchanging lewd texts and photographs. Because the tabloid will supposedly be publishing some of these explicit messages and pictures… Bezos went ahead yesterday and announced his divorce. “We want to make people aware of a development in our lives. As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends,” the Washington Post owner said in a statement. Continued this statement: We feel incredible lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for everyone one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again. We’ve had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursing ventures and adventures. Bezos and MacKenzie share four children: three sons and a daughter. Sanchez, meanwhile, has two kids with Whitesell and a 17-year-old son with ex-husband and former NFL star Tony Gonzalez. TMZ, meanwhile, confirms that Bezos and Sanchez are a couple. However, this celebrity gossip site reports that Sanchez and her husband are in the middle of a divorce and were separated when she started seeing the mega mogul — and that the same applies to Bezos and his soon-to-be-ex-wife. A source tells this website that Whitesell and Mackenzie have been aware of their spouses’ romantic entanglement nearly since it started. Bezos, Whitesell and Sanchez were all photographed together in 2016 at a party for the film Manchester by the Sea. And all four individuals at the center of this scandal have been friends for over a decade, with Bezos and Mackenzie often spending time at the Seattle home of Sanchez and Whitesell. Sanchez (pictured above) runs her own company called Black Ops Aviation, which is an aerial filming company. She herself is a a helicopter pilot and has worked on films such as Dunkirk and Miss Bala. The 49-year-old business owner also worked on a few videos for Blue Origin, which is Bezos’ aerospace company. Way back in 2014, there was a rumor that she might take over as a host on The View . We can also report that her relationship with Bezos is still going strong. In other news related to this split that has grabbed the nation’s attention…. Bezos is worth over $137 billion. That is not a misprint. He is the richest man in the world. Just how much of this fortune will go to Mackenzie in the divorce settlement? No one knows right now, considering the couple may have signed a prenuptial agreement and that most of Bezos’ money is tied up in Amazon stock. But Mackenzie likely will never need to work another day in her life, let’s just put it that way. The estranged husband and wife reside in Washington, a state where property is split evenly between divorcees after they go their separate ways. What would happen if she were to receive half of Bezos’ shares in Amazon? She would become the fifth richest person in the world and, by far, the richest woman in the world. We’re not saying this is worth being cheated on. But gotta imagine it softens the blow. View Slideshow: 19 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces Ever: Where Does Jeff Bezos Rank?
Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer have not yet responded to the troubling cheating chatter surrounding their relationship. Not in any sort of statement, that is. But if a picture says a thousand words, well… … the controversial couple just said a great deal, didn’t they? Despite the ongoing rumor that Edwards was recently caught communicating with another woman on Tinder and via text message, Edwards’ mom, Jennifer Edwards, just posted a family photo of Edwards and his wife, Standifer, on Instagram. “Merry Christmas Eve Eve!!” Jennifer penned as the caption the the image, which also features her and her husband, Larry Edwards. You can see it above. For whatever it’s worth Standifer also shared a family photo on her Instagram page … and she also wished her followers a “Merry Christmas.” But the snapshot didn’t feature herself or Edwards in the photo. It simply included the twosome’s sons, including their new baby Jagger, along the two older boys that they share with previous partners. Edwards, meanwhile, just got out of rehab after a lengthy stay, which included him actually missing Jagger’s birth. But he needed to try and get sober after yet another arrest this year for drug possession. Nearly as soon as he was a free man, however, Edwards was allegedly caught chatting up women on Tinder. We cover this scandal at length HERE . Sadly, however, this scandal goes far beyond alleged cheating on his wife. There’s been talk that the troubled Teen Mom OG star also did cocaine with his Tinder side piece — which we must say is a report we cannot confirm with any hard evidence. But it’s hard not to consider it and wonder: How does Ryan keep getting involved in this very sordid stories? Radar Online actually shared screenshots of a text exchange between Edwards and his online paramour, where the woman asks him if he smokes. He answers: “No I used to do H and I’ve been to rehab 3 times since I got out of the army so I don’t do sh-t anymore.” That’s great, right? But Edwards later asks this person for a nude photo and tells her that he has a “long” one. That’s not as great. Eventually, this unnamed Tinder member spoke out about her hook-up with the MTV reality star, saying straight up: “I gave him a blow job. He told me to sit on his face.” She added that Ryan was “good” at oral sex, and after that was done, “he flipped me over and then started to have sex with me. A minute later he went soft. It was embarrassing.” Yikes. Click below to see what else this woman said… View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards’ Tinder Hookup Tells All: He Went Soft and Laid There Lifeless!! … and then join us in pondering: Does this Christmas photo mean all is forgiven? Or is Standifer still set to lay the smackdown on her lying man?
Sigh. Well, folks, the “maybe Ryan Edwards isn't such a terrible guy, after all” narrative was fun while it lasted. As you probably know, Ryan got out of rehab last month after completing a 90-day course of treatment. Those closest to the troubled Teen Mom OG star claimed he'd changed his ways, but it looks as though he's already fallen back into his old habits. Earlier this week, we learned that Ryan is once again using Tinder to try and cheat on Mackenzie Standifer . And according to new screenshots obtained by Radar Online, he's off the wagon and looking to get high with some of his hookup partners. Here's what we know about this sad situation so far: 1. A Familiar Pattern This isn’t the first time that Ryan checked into rehab, emerged triumphant, and immediately went back to his old ways. 2. Ryan’s Hope Family and friends had hoped this time would be different. It was the longest Edwards had ever remained in treatment, and his wife recently gave birth to a baby boy. 3. Squandered Potential They hoped sobriety would make Ryan a better husband and father and keep him out of trouble with the law. 4. No Magic Bullet Sadly, rehab doesn’t always result in sobriety, and sobriety doesn’t always make former addicts more trustworthy or responsible. 5. A Troubled Man Obviously, Ryan’s heroin addiction and the legal problems that resulted from it are the biggest obstacles in his life — but he has a lot of other demons to conquer, as well. 6. Lyin’ Ryan Though they’ve been married less than two years, Ryan has been caught cheating on Mackenzie on numerous occasions. View Slideshow
What a year it’s been for Ryan Edwards, huh? He’s done a whole lot of things — most of them were real, real bad. He’s been arrested twice, once for violating probation by failing a drug test and once for violating probation by driving 35 MPH over the speed limit . He spent a handful of days in jail, and three whole months in rehab ! Another big thing was when Maci Bookout had to get a restraining order against him for her and her family after he threatened to murder her husband . So yeah, bad things, right? Despite all of that, there was one very big, very good moment for Ryan this year. He welcomed a brand new baby boy! Yep, in October, Mackenzie Standifer gave birth to their first child together , a boy they named Jagger Ryan Edwards. Well, she named him that, anyway — he was still in rehab at the time. Besides Jagger, they have Hudson, Mackenzie’s son from her first marriage, and of course there’s Bentley, the son Ryan shares with Maci. What a lovely little family, right? Or at least we imagine they are — Mackenzie refuses to show off her new baby on social media, or on Teen Mom OG. It makes sense, really. After all, Ryan does attract a whole lot of hate, and Mackenzie herself receives even more . They’ve been the big Teen Mom OG villains for a long time now, and though attention is beginning to shift to Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra’s marriage problems … Well, plenty of fans still have a whole mess of feelings about the Edwards. If Mackenzie had posted pictures of little Jagger, then unfortunately, there’s a decent chance she would have gotten negative comments about him, just because people don’t like his parents. People can be awful like that. She’s said that she’ll “probably never” show him off to the world, and honestly, it’s understandable. But luckily for us, she’s reconsidered things! Yep, today Mackenzie was kind enough to share a Christmas photo of her little family, minus Bentley: And just look at that cute little baby!!! Hudson is adorable too, as always, and Mackenzie looks phenomenal, especially for giving birth just a couple of months ago. As for Ryan, well, remember a few days ago when we heard a report about how he’s been seeming so happy and healthy these days? He certainly looks like it in this photo! His smile looks genuine, and although it looks like he couldn’t manage to spit out his dip for the Christmas card shoot, at least he doesn’t look high here. Hopefully he’s finally come around to raising a baby with Mackenzie and there won’t be any of the “call me when he’s three” talk like there was at the beginning of the pregnancy. Really, we just hope that things are as good as they possibly can be in the Edwards home. And oh, what a Christmas miracle that would be! View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards: Out of Rehab and Loving Life!
