In her upcoming memoir Bulletproof , Teen Mom O.G. star Maci Bookout says she got plenty of fame, but no fortune from her MTV stardom. In other words, she got the “s–t end of the deal.” “Reality TV can make you famous, but you basically get the s–t end of the deal,” writes Maci, who just gave birth to her second child . “Everyone knows your name and talks about you, but there’s no red-carpet prestige or glamorous piles of money.” We all can’t be Kim Kardashian, it’s true. “Once you become a so-called reality TV star, people immediately think that you’re a high-end celebrity,” she adds. “They think you travel the world and have a mansion and all these other things they associate with having your face on TV.” The Tennessee sweetheart, whose book drops July 21, drops the truth that she’s just another mom struggling to get by. “The fact is, my real life isn’t that much different from what it would have been without MTV,” the 23-year-old claims. “I still live in Chattanooga. I go to Wal-Mart and buy bread and milk.” The mother of Bentley (with Ryan Edwards) and baby Jayde (with Taylor McKinney) admits she tweets to her 1.36 million Twitter fans for cash. “Since I took to it so well,” Bookout says , “I started looking into the prospect of becoming a social media specialist.” That she may be, but she’s not an accounting pro. Bookout was reportedly hit with a lien by the IRS for failing to pay nearly $80,000 in taxes from 2011 alone. On the plus side, Maci, her nemesis Farrah Abraham , Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell will be back for Teen Mom Season 6 next year.
