TEEN Mom Maci Bookout shared a rare selfie just after her ex Ryan Edwards accused the star of getting him and his family booted from MTV.

Maci took to Instagram to share a photo of herself sitting on a staircase holding a brand new computer, as she is surrounded by various items.
In the caption, the reality star informs her fans about a “giveaway,” as she’s “partnered up” with a company.
However, while the 29-year-old is all about giving away some prizes, she has also been focused on quite the brutal feud with her ex and his family.
Ryan, 33, previously blamed Maci for him and his loved ones showed the exit door.
He exclusively told The Sun: “Maci is in fear that my mom and dad will start telling the truth.
“She will always fight to have us off the show.”
Ryan, who shares 12-year-old son Bentley with Maci, said that while he can’t speak for his parents, he doesn’t believe him and Mackenzie will return to Teen Mom OG.
He continued: “MTV does not really stand for anything we believe in or support.”
Ryan previously told The Sun that the firing hasn’t bothered him, as he said: “I really haven’t given MTV much thought now that I have my own fabrication shop.”
The Sun was the first to report on the firings, as Ryan’s dad previously said: “We, the family have been let go from the show by the network. It’s unbelievable.”
A source also told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup: “The Edwards were informed that Maci’s reps wanted to go a different direction and showcase all of her abilities.
“Maci went to production and explained she wanted her story to cover all the parts of her life and no longer focus on Ryan and his family.”
The outlet reported the family will make an appearance next season to discuss the reunion show fight which showed Maci’s husband, Taylor McKinney, confront Larry.
Mackenzie’s wife also claimed to Without a Crystal Ball of Maci’s role in the firings: “We got a call from MTV and Maci’s agent went above their heads and went to Viacom.
“They said that they wanted to focus on all of Maci’s abilities and whatever she does and we took up the time on the show that she could be using to show all that…”
All this comes as Maci and Taylor continue to feud with Ryan and his family about time spent with Bentley, after Larry previously told The Sun in October that his son is “not allowed” to see the preteen.
On the current season, Bentley refused to see his father until he agreed to go to therapy with him to work on their strained relationship.
