Ryan Edwards calls out MTV for bad editing on Teen Mom

Aug, 23, 2012 | AUTHOR: Lindsay; | Related : Dalis Connell, Maci Bookout, Ryan Edwards, Teen Mom

'Teen Mom' star Ryan Edwards poses with girlfriend Dalis Connell and son Bentley

Ryan Edwards has not been portrayed in the best light on Teen Mom. The only time we see him, he is usually yelling at or complaining about Maci Bookout, the mother of his child. Even after four seasons on the show, not much has changed, as his and Maci’s struggles to co-parent Bentley remained the central part of her storyline throughout the series.

On the latest episode, Maci planned an impromptu 3rd birthday party for their son Bentley (Bentley’s actual birthday fell on Ryan’s day with him, and the plan was for Ryan and his family to have a separate bash). Maci had Bentley call Ryan and leave a message to call back, which Ryan did the next day (the day of the party). Maci quickly handed the phone to Bentley and walked him through inviting his dad to the party scheduled that night, to which Ryan responded with surprise, “When did you plan this?!?” Then, in response to the invitation, Ryan said, “OK buddy, I’ll see what I can do for ya.” Maci then hung up.

Later, Ryan texted Maci and said he wouldn’t be able to make it to the party and he would be there after to pick Bentley up.

When he came to pick Bentley up from the party, he and Maci got into a fight and he even told her she was stupid within in earshot of Bentley, who was waiting in the car with his girlfriend, Dalis Connell. (Much against the sage advice from his parents, who told him beforehand that it was not the right time to have it out, insisting that he not be angry when he showed up to pick his son up.)

Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards fight on 'Teen Mom' after Bentley's birthday party

Once Maci had enough of arguing, she told Ryan she was done and headed back inside to the party, but not before Dalis got in on the action by stating, “good!” The simple comment riled up viewers, but Ryan says they’ve got it all wrong. Yesterday, he tweeted, “MTV does a shi*y job of showing what really happens in are lives! @dalispaige and @Mimijen6 are two of the best ppl in the world!”

Ryan’s girlfriend Dalis didn’t get much of a chance to prove herself on the show. Fans just met her this season and haven’t seen all that much from her other than the “good” heard ’round the world. On top of that, fans are very protective of their Maci so anyone that seems to be working against her is going to feel the heat for sure.

Fans of Teen Mom won’t get to see much more of Ryan Edwards and company. The final episode of the series airs this Tuesday night at 10/9c on MTV. Can you believe it’s almost over?

I agree with him that, although I don’t think it’s necessarily MTV proper’s fault, they could have editted the situation a little more fairly. He did have a right to be angry and when he starts yelling, editting makes it seem like he’s the one in the complete wrong. He should not have called his child’s mother stupid though, especially in the company of others.
- Brittany
  
  Demeaning and yelling at the mother of your child, in front of the child, is wrong in any situation. It doesn’t matter if he had a right to be angry, the way he chose to express it was disgusting. For me, he lowered himself and made his actions the focus rather than how Maci invited him. His behaviour is serious and needs to be dealt with before he ruins this child’s perception of women.
  - dev
    
    Which is why I made sure to say that he should not be calling her stupid and blowing up, but he has valid reason to be angry. Just because Maci was not the one yelling does not make her the one that was the least wrong in this situation.
    - BB
      
      You’re right about him and his mouth but she’s no angel either and she did start an argument with Ryan in front of Bentley the week before about all that twitter stuff. She is also always bad mouthing him in front of Bentley too so I thinks she could make a few improvements in that regard too.

      It takes two they both were there talking smack ! All she had to do was say bye to her son and keep it moving

what dalis needs to understand is the same thing that every person in a relationship where the partner has a child from a previous relationship – stay out of it. the life ryan and dalis share with bentley is there own, and although i am not a huge fan of maci, the life she and ryan show bent ley is there own, without any interjection necessary from someone who feels they need to protect their partner. ryan can handle himself, he is a big boy, just as maci can, and i am sure dalis can, as well. but the relationship maci and ryan have with each other is one deserving of respect from dalis, whether or not she approves of it. it is not her business or her place to become involved and create unnecessary drama.
Brittany

Dalis sucks. I really don’t know what else to say. Ryan didn’t even explain anything. I still see her as insecure, jealous, and snarky.

I think Maci was in the wrong in this episode. She really should have asked Ryan before getting her sons hopes up. But at the same time Ryan is a spaz and he should NEVER call her names in front of their child. And Dalis, well, she just needs to stay the f**k out of it and keep her opinion to herself. She does not DESERVE any say in how Bentley should be raised. Ryan’s mom is also very interfering. All they do is bash Maci and tell Ryan to get full custody.
- dev
  
  I kinda agree with you here. Although how quickly Dalis said what she said does hint at bad editing. But, if it really did go like that, then I agree that she has no reason to say anything, just like Kyle does not if he were there. Even though I don’t agree with Maci, she was right in wanting to close the door, neither of the people in the car needed to hear what was being said
- Chelsea
  
  It’s funny that Ryan would agree to full custody… When its just his parents pressuring that because then they can have bentley ALL the time because Ryan is a loser still living at home with a huge dip in his lip.
A.J.

Ryan was wrong for cursing at Maci in front of Bentley. That’s just not a good example on any level. And it probably would have been better for Dalis to just stay quiet. But Maci does have a habit of organizing things on short notice, and she should have called Ryan herself to tell him what was going on. Ryan never actually said he would come, either.
- Chelsea
  
  Thought ryan did have a day notice and he waited till the next to call maci back, that is his own fault, they could have figured things out sooner if ryan had just called back!
PRB26

I wonder why Maci’s fans never care that she bashes Ryan daily, including a repeat “Hell No!” from Bentley with regard to Dalis in one episode? Or why they don’t care that she has no job and yet Bentley spends his days in preschool? Or why she appears manipulative and desperate in her efforts to use Kyle and Bentley as pawns in her scheme to get Ryan’s attention? I agree with Ryan about MTV’s editing. Maci acts just as lazy and crazy as Chelsea or Leah and people jump all over Chelsea and Leah. But Maci? I think MTV’s editing has done her a TON of favors. And she STILL screwed it up by partying all the time and using her kid as her pawn. Kyle must be slow if he can’t see how much she uses him. Her focus and main priority is Ryan’s attention. She’s not that great of a mom and her “fans” praise her for things that normal moms do every day with no fanfare. Team Ryan all the way on this one!!

  he’s in daycare so he can socialize with children his age, not because maci can’t care for him herself… get real.
  you do only see fragments of their lives, i don’t think it’s fair to say she’s not a good mom/he’s not a good dad unless you’ve witnessed it in person.
- Chelsea
  
  Maci does a lot of public speaking at colleges and school, and she writes it on twitter often, and she is on the go with that, she is not “lazy.” Dalis has no right to be speaking like that, and ryan should have shut the car door, bentely didn’t need to hear that coonversation. Ryan is very rude to her often, like when he text her an episode ago dropping f bombs at her like crazy. He’s immature.
  - BB
    
    You’re right about him and his mouth but she’s no angel either and she did start an argument with Ryan in front of Bentley the week before about all that twitter stuff. She is also always bad mouthing him in front of Bentley too so I thinks she could make a few improvements in that regard too.

  maci only parties whenever she doesn’t have bentley. point in case if you look on her twitter, or some of her friends’ twitter accounts, you will see pictures of maci partying, and just prior to that maci tweeting about dropping bentley off. so it isn’t as if bentley is “exposed” to some huge party-going mother. additionally, maci takes college courses and plans them around bentley’s day care specifically so that she can go to school while he is at day care and not go to school while she is at home missing out on time spent with him. it’s funny to me how your entire post is about trashing maci and how mtv does her “editing wonders” … hmm, maybe mtv should do some more editing wonders for ryan next time, like edit HIM having a job or not living with his parents. oh wait. you can’t edit that, because he doesn’t have a job, and he does live with his parents.
  - BB
    
    Just to point out he stated on twitter recently that he does have a job working 9-5, 5 days p/w but for whatever reason MTV thinks it better to pretend he doesn’t…
  - PRB26
    
    Check your facts on Ryan not having a job. Again, where does Maci work? Oh yeah, educating teens on having safe sex; something she clearly did not practice!
    It’s funny to me how your whole comment reads as if you know Maci personally. No need to take it so personal. Everyone knows Maci has super fans;)
    I still stand by my comment that MY OPINION is that she is a lazy, manipulative bitch.

      we only tell are teens what best and trying to teach them what teen mom goes through, why do sex education aka health class teachers have unprotected sex at a early age end up prego then later down the road become a teacher in sex ed. um.. bc if nobody knows how hard it is being a teen mom until u r one r u some type of idiot all i do is see ignorant comments like you personally know maci (LOL) and talk about jobs hun she b bringing in more money than u do from interviews to teen mom and the catching up in the near future think about this one for a second
      - PRB26
        
        I just had to reply to your (poorly worded) comment. First of all, calling me an idiot was a bit much. If you don’t know Maci personally, why are you taking this so personally?! Geez, be calm. She’s just an acne-scarred, ignorant reality star. Punctuation and grammar apparently take a back seat for you in comments, huh? And I’m the “idiot”. Wow. I don’t follow you at all on your “sex ed” rant –likely because it was the biggest run on sentence in the history of the English language.
        As for how much money I make, well, you’d be the idiot for your assumption there!

  she speaks to kids about having safe sex, I think that’s more than a job. She is also a student and a mother, so all in all she busts her ass. I can say that as I am a mother of 4 and a pre-law student.

  Bentley is old enough, and he should be in preschool regardless of whether his Mother has a job or not. He needs to be with kids his own age! Ryan has problems and his parents don’t see how he’s acting! And a judge will not sat Kyle and Maci can’t live together just because Ryan doesn’t like it, his parents are way out of touch!

    YES HE NEEDS FRIENDS BECAUSE IS IT JUST ME OR WAS HE THE ONLY KID AT HIS PARTY? I AGREE WITH YOU

    PRB26, I absolutely agree with you on everything you posted. Bentley shouldn’t be in preschool at 3 years old. I have 4 children and was fortunate to be able to stay home with them. They each entered preschool the year before kindergarten at 5! I didn’t start my children in kindergarten till 6. A child has to be emotionally ready to start school not just age ready. Today so many moms are in such a hurry to send their children off, when the best place for learning is at home from us. We are their first teachers in all areas of life. When my children were 2 we were in a mommy and me group with other moms, there my children interacted with other children but myself and the other moms were present. I sought out this type of social interaction so that I was still involved. Maci and Kyle are home enough that she could set up a play day for Bentley once a week, neither one works. Maci goes to school, with that there is still time for a play day with other moms. I mean honestly does anyone really think that Bentley would never have friends just because he didn’t go to preschool? The road in life is long, Bentley didn’t seem to missing out on anything. My kids never did, they all did well in school and have plenty of friends. So many parents worry about pushing our kids to grow up when it just happens. When kids are small we are their world, take advantage of that because soon that all changes, and as parents we are competing with the friends for their time. Children aren’t scarred for life just because they didn’t attend preschool at 3 and have friends.
    - Mac
      
      There isn’t anything wrong with attending pre-school at 3 years of age. Do your research on the subject. Children that attend pre-school will be ahead of the game once they are enrolled in kindergarten. Educate yourself.
      - SK
        
        Real preschool or headstart does not start till age 4 1/2. These so called day cars have programs that start from 2 1/2-5 years old. All I found is that you pay extra fees for no real instruction at that age. Public school offers preschool and headstart at 4 1/2 because they know kids are really not ready for it until then. It is good to get the kids out of the house so they are used to being around other people. But ultimately the parent needs to raise the child not the schools. Too many parents push their kids off into these programs cause they want them out of their hair.
    - Burkey86
      
      It’s just ignorant to say that a 3 year old shouldn’t be in pre-school. It depends on the child and the situation. I went to preschool or they called it nursery school I believe at the age of 3. I have a late birthday so when i started kindergarten I was 4. Now I’m 25 with 3 degrees including a doctorate so I don’t think my parents made a bad choice. And as for the play dates I agree but being that most people Maci’s age do not have children I don’t see why it is such a terrible thing for Bentley to go to preschool.
      - brittany
        
        i believe that it is also great for bentley to be in school… you are suppose to be between the ages 4 and 5 going to kindergarten..so that would make you 2 or 2 going to prek. why do ppl have to hate on other people parenting skills like they are doing so bad
- guest327
  
  Doesn’t she go to school ? And Bentley needs to learn so ya he has to go to preschool. Just because a mother doesn’t work doesn’t mean the kid shouldn’t get an education. That is the stupid thing I’ve ever heard. Ryan is the one who doesn’t have a job and still lives with his parents. His parents are horrible too. Why is it their business that Maci lives with her long time boyfriend ? It’s not like she has boyfriend after boyfriend after boyfriend in her and Bentleys life. It’s none of their business.
  - PRB26
    
    LOL! I don’t recall saying Bentley “shouldn’t get an education”. I agree that kids should go to preschool. Usually preschool starts at age 4; you know, PRIOR to school? Bentley was two when Maci took him. My kids went to DAYCARE at age 2; because unfortunately, I had to work.
    
    I said nothing about his parents. And Ryan DOES work! Which proves his “bad edit” theory because so many of you think he doesn’t.
    
    I still think Maci is lazy. You’re right though –she does go to school. Each semester. For a few weeks. Before she drops all her classes to take care of Bentley; who is in daycare. Ironic huh?
- Burkey86
  
  I think it’s pretty obvious that Bentley needs the social aspect of preschool considering like someone else pointed out there were NO other children at his birthday party and also evident in the way he completely freaked out at first when Maci brought him there. He is extremely attached to her and needs to be socialized a little more. Plus Maci isn’t just dropping him off and then going home and watching tv, she is going to school. And yeah, Maci talks about Ryan but she doesn’t call him names, she pretty much states the truth. And she doesn’t yell at him in front of Bentley, or really ever for that matter.
- Tamy01
  
  what are you talking about ryan DOESNT go to school he DOESNT even have his own place he still lives with his parents at least MACI is Going to school to set a good example for bentley and Remember what ryan said about bentley going to school he said “he dont need to learn spanish hes not going to mexico” he also said ” what can he learn in pre-school that i cant teach him” that just shows he care less and immature. and Atleast maci bought her own place something ryan till hasnt done That just shows maci is a responsible women that has a good future set for her and her child
OhMyGeez

Dalis is obviously insecure when it comes to Ryan and Maci having a relationship (be it friendly or not) because of Bentley. The looks she gives him over certain things are as if she’s telling him to tread lightly. That party might’ve been last minute but trying to get along for the sake of your child is never a bad thing. You don’t have to be friends to be friendly.
- BB
  
  Honestly if I were Dalis I’d be afraid to talk to Maci. She really doesn’t make things easy and can be quite passive aggressive.

    If I were dalis I would of punched Macy in the face lol… j.k Macy doesn’t make things easy bc she a hater she the kids mother ppl move on she is not important any more and hurts her .if I were Macy I would be scared of dalis
Barry

Dalis is in modeling and dating someone on MTV? Hm, makes sense. Way to use people for publicity. Can’t wait until the Teen Mom sensation disappears and watch how quick she dumps Ryan.
- Jessica
  
  Her “modeling” is posting tacky shots of her in swimsuits. Bad lighting, bad spray tans and makeup, cheap swimsuits.

regardless of “editing,” ryan STILL called maci stupid in front of their child..

  EXACTLY.
Jenn

I cannot wait until Dalis and Ryan are out of the spotlight. Dalis has tweeted mean things about Maci on several occasions and just acts like a jealous girlfriend because Ryan has a relationship with the mother of his child. She should have kept her mouth shut and let them deal with it. She may be his girlfriend but that is where it ends, Maci and Ryan’s business has nothing to do with her. If anything if should have said to stop arguing while the little boy was in the truck, instead she sat and allowed it to happen. Maybe instead of worrying about Maci she needs to worry about the fact that they her and Ryan have broke up 3 or 4 times and feel the need to do it publically for the world to see.

I find Maci to be desperate and obnoxious with her constant need for attention from Ryan…. But even that “good!” got under my skin….
teenwolffan

Why is ok for Kyle to be overly involved in maci and Ryan business regard Bentley . And maci fans see no problem with that but the moment Dalis says one thing everyone is ready to attack her and calling her names . Kyle always gives advice to maci about Bentley no one says anything it’s a double standard .Kyle and maci can do whatever say whatever and there automatic right because their MTV golden couple but Ryan says something . Everyone is ready to rip him and Dalis to pieces . I don’t think Dalis is jealous of Maci there nothing to be jealous of Dalis has Ryan Ryan has already said he would never go back out with maci . If anyone should be jealous it should be Kyle because it’s clear as day that Maci still in love with Ryan
- Jessica
  
  I have never once seen Kyle interact with Ryan other than when they met each other. Kyle is respectful of the custody exchange and is rarely there during it. Dalis is always there and is always listening to what Ryan and Maci are saying.

    Of course, because she’s a jealous biznitch.

- Michella
  
  Maci and Kyle are not a golden couple but Kyle seems a hell of a lot more mature than Ryan and Dalis combined. Even more so than Maci, to be honest. Ryan should watch his mouth around his kid and the only reason he didn’t let Maci shut the door is so Dalis could hear him try and be a hard ass with her. Ryan needs to grow up and move the hell out of his parent’s house already.

- Lisa K
  
  I totally agree with you! Kyle is too dumb to see that she’s in love with Ryan and its crazy how much she manipulates people and uses Bentley as a pawn. She can change her mind at the last minute and its still Ryans fault if he doesn’t comply. I liked her in the beginning but now its obvious how she really is.
- http://www.facebook.com/kmenges Kimberly Menges
  
  because Kyle doesn’t make snarky comments to ryan like dalis does…dalis is childish when it comes to her jealousy of Maci.
- Burkey86
  
  First of Kyle have known each other and been together much longer than Dalis and Ryan. I don’t think you can really compare the two relationships. Also Kyle is very good with Bentley in my opinion which I don’t think is bad at all. He may give advice to his girlfriend but he does not interject himself into the situation the way Dalis seems to. Kyle always stays inside when Ryan comes to get Bentley and I have never seen him say something about Ryan in front of or to Bentley.
  - Burkey86
    
    Kyle and Maci*
JESS

#teamryan !! she was the one who wanted ryan at bentley’s bday party and she made it seem like bentley was the one when in reality it was her jealous ass. it’s very obvious that she is still in love with ryan and is using kyle to make ryan jealous when in reality ryan could careless and looks soooo happy with dalis then he ever did with maci and she can’t stand that.
jessica

Ryan is an ass always has been always will be
mersana

Its funny that Ryan is with a girl that looks a lot like Maci. I love Maci and I think that she is a great mom and she has been real from the beginning. Amazing person. She has to do something right because Bentley is an adorable young little boy and he is very smart too.
- noname
  
  Dalis and Maci look absolutely nothing alike. They are both skinny and that’s about it. Maci looks like she’s in her 30′s.

  IF I DO RECALL DALIS HAD THAT BLONDE HAIR AND BLACK UNDER AND WAAALAHHH MACY WAS ROCKING THAT RIGHT AFTER LOL SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SOMEONE IS PLAYING SIMON SAID’S LOL AND PLUS MACU LOOKS LIKE AN 80 YR OLD WITH ALL THAT MAKE UP SHE PUTS ON NOW EW
- Nat
  
  I agree, they look very similar. I thought it was just me. Isn’t that the way it goes? Wanna bet that’s why the gf changed he hair color? He still loves Maci, his anger is jealousy that someone else is playing daddy and house when he’s not around. I’m not a Maci fan bc I think her and Ryan are using other ppl to make one another jealous and in the end Bentley gets hurt bc he cares for Karl and he likes every girl Ryan brings home for play dates too. And the ppl they are using get hurt too. I feel sorry for Maci’s bf I can tell he dont wanna hear the drama most of the time.
macisgettingworse

I think Maci was WAY in the wrong here. Having Bentley call was a terrible thing to do. Could you say no to your baby if they called? She did it to force Ryan into a corner. I’m liking her less and less every episode.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UIMKXWBPPULXMWBDBT2BAGU2RY Chickie61
  
  Exactly what I thought; Maci basically set Ryan up to look like an ass. She knew he wanted seperate parties yet she still had Bently call his Dad and his Grandparents. I know if my grandbabies call me and ask me for something I’m not going to tell them no. She was a bia-tch to do that to Bently & Ryan. He doesn’t want her around!
  - http://www.facebook.com/kmenges Kimberly Menges
    
    regardless of whether or not he (ryan) wanted her around is beside the point….she was only trying to make bentley happy by having everyone there for Bentley!!! inviting ryan n his parents was not about making anyone look like an ass either. She just wanted everyone to be able to come together for BENTLEY!! besides it was his birthday. and if it was me i would of done the same thing
Emmaline

Thank God this trainwreck of a show is over. I used to like it, but it has gone downhill. I haven’t even watched the last 3 or 4 episodes because it is so ridiculous. GOOD RIDDANCE.
http://www.facebook.com/heather.henslee.3 Heather Henslee

I completely agree with you teenwolffan. Its ridiculous. Kyle is way to involved but yet Dalis cant express one thing! I dont think so. All of this was brought on by MACI!!! Alot of her and Ryan’s arguments are.
- Chelsea
  
  Kyle is “involved’ in the fact he gives Maci advice but he does not talk in bad manners toward or at Ryan’s face, he usually isn’t even present when they trade bentley, ya dalis always is! I understand they were a new couple back then but really dalis is immature and said a lot of bull on Twitter. And if Maci and ryan fight its between them not because of their significany others.
  - BB
    
    A lot of what Dalis said on twitter was usually is response to what Maci said about her or Ryan though……she has a right to defend herself surely?
- SonnySky
  
  Kyle is not way too involved. He was doing what anyone should do that is interested in Maci–never marry anyone who will not care about your child
BB

I think too many people are judging Dalis. We haven’t been shown enough for people to call her jealous, horrible etc. However Maci doesn’t make things easy for her with those tweets we heard about and texts she sent to Ryan earlier in the season. Whatever she said in the car as Maci left really, really seems as though it were edited. Maybe not but Ryan himself confirmed it was. Apart from that how come nobody has mentioned Kyle calling Ryan a loser? Surely that’s worse than what Dalis was supposed to have said? I think people need to look at the bigger picture. She is in college, doing a good degree, is stable, works part time, leads a healthy lifestyle, gets along with Bentley and makes his Dad happy. Isn’t that enough?
- Kelly
  
  Thank you for saying this, I completely agree! If I were Dalis I would be upset by some of the things Maci does!
- mm
  
  I agree 100% Dalis seems like a very sweet girl and she makes Ryan happy.. I wouldn’t call her jealous.. I would say she is very insecure and immature. Like others have said, Kyle isn’t around for every “drop off and pick up” when Maci and Ryan fight.. Kyle isn’t standing right behind them…. Dalis needs to have more trust that Ryan can handle his son by himself and just stay out of it and be a good role model in front of Bently.. whatever WAS said.. she still yelled “good” about something to be bitchy..IN FRONT OF BENTLY. Dalis has no reason to be jealous of Maci..but guess what.. Maci isnt going anywhere…so maybe she should grow up and learn how to help them communicate instead of acting like an insecure/ territorial gf.
  - Kelly
    
    I think maci needs to get over the fact that Ryan has someone in his life who appears to make him happier than she did. She obviously is still in love with him. If I were dalis I’d be PISSED at those tweets. Maci has absolutely no respect for Ryan or his relationships.

Sheena

Dalis need to stay out of it. And maci was right for trying to close the door so bentley wouldnt hear them arguing. I think ryan wanted to leave the door open to prove a point to Dalis or so Dalis wouldnt think negative. Dalis is his girlfriend nt his wife so she shld shut her mouth wen at all times. Seem like he do her like a dawg cuz they stay breaking up and getting back together
Sara

Editing doesn’t change the fact that he insulted the mother of his child in front of him, and Dalis should mind her god damn business. She DID say “good!” when Maci walked away. She should just shut up. I’m not a fan of Maci, but Dalis didn’t have a word to say in all of this!
Vanessa

I hate Dalis.

Both Ryan and Maci have points they need to work on but I do think for the most part Ryan gets the bad edit. Maci should never have put Bentley in the middle of the party mess. And Ryan should have held his anger in front of Bentley. Personally though I feel like Maci came off looking pretty bad in that episode. Ryan’s parents mean well I believe but they baby Ryan to an extreme. IMHO.

I think Maci is great n Ryan n his GF need to grow up n realize they are childish. His GF has no place to say anything in this situation n Ryan was straight up wrong n disrespectful.

Ryan, It’s not bad editing you’re a complete loser. You rely on your parents to take care of your son and put roof over your head. They determine decisions in your life and your sons life. Grow some balls and be accountable for your actions. You and Maci had a child when you were still children yourselves. She has growing up to do, but I will give her credit for being fully capable of taking care of her own child with little help from her parents. You on the other hand are incapable of living out in the big world on your own. Be a man and start taking responsibility.

i cant stand maci. she is wayyyy too involved in Ryans life. She degrades Ryan by saying how horrible he is for not having a job or living with his parents. Maci, you don’t have a job! You get paid by MTV which is the ONLY way you can afford to live on your own. People talk about how bad Dalis is. Why is she soooo bad? She hasn’t done anything wrong. She isn’t allowed to have an opinion but Kyle can? Maci says she doesnt have enough time for school and she doesnt want to take away time from bentley. but wait.. she spends a large amount of time traveling and at the clubs and getting wasted. this makes a TON of sense.

  Maybe Maci dosnt have a lot of time because she in collage and speekng about safe sex and all….and Ryan is horrible he says so many bad things a bout maci infront of Maci and his girlfriend needs to keep her big mouth shut she has no say in what goes in with them and she shouldnt be listening in on there arguments either its non if her buiness she should of been keeping bently acoupied so he didnt hear all that was said also why does Ryan care so much that Macie lives with Kyle its not like she has a new boyfriened each time u see her like rayan does he allways has a new girlfriend SO HE HAS NO ROOM TO TALK.

Both Maci and Ryan need to grow the hell up. Maci used to be one of my favorite moms. But she needs to stop partying and spend the time at least try to be a little more civil with Ryan. Ryan needs to stop being cruel to Maci, because that in return starts Maci bashing him. I’m saying that both parent are in the wrong. They need to think about how to co-parent without arguing every damn second about how to parent Bentley. If they don’t stop this now I’d hate to see how Bentley is when he’s a teenager.

I think they are both good parents. But outside of being a parent, Ryan is an idiot. He lives with his parents and while he does have a job now there have been plenty of times throughout all the seasons that he ends up jobless for some extended period of time. Also, it is beyond obvious that he would not be able to take care of his son if he lived on his own without his parents help. All of that aside, the main thing that I find so annoying about Ryan is the way he speaks to Maci. He doesn’t have to like her or be friends with her but he should at the very least respect her as the mother of his child, for Bentley’s sake if nothing else. He repeatedly says very mean things to Maci and the best part is that she is clearly smarter and more mature than him because she usually just walks away from his nasty attitude when it happens. Calling the mother of your child stupid while your son is sitting about 3 feet away is also not something that MTV edited in.

Also as far as Dalis goes she needs to keep her mouth shut. Besides the whole “good” incident there was another episode when her, Ryan and Bentley were out to dinner talking about Bentley moving and she said to Bentley “I think you should just live at Daddy’s” or something to that affect. That is crossing a line. Maci is his mother and Dalis should not be saying something like that to Bentley. Dalis comes across as too immature to be dating someone who has a child and all of those responsibilities that come with it. Getting mad because Maci tweeted that it would be easier FOR BENTLEY if his parents could still be together? CLEARLY thats true, it doesn’t mean Maci is coming after her man. Even if Maci wanted Ryan back, he clearly hates her so Dalis needs to relax with the insecurities already.

  I agree, except that Ryan doesn’t hate Maci. On one episode HE was the one who asked Maci, do you think we should be together for the sake of Bentley? And Maci said no not if they wouldn’t be happy. After she said that he changed it up real quick like he didn’t mean it and when she asked him if he ever thought about them being back together he said no but it was obvious he did. So that b1tch Dalis need to back the truck up because Ryan said that bs way before Maci tweeted it. He put it out there. He is angry that Maci moved on without him with a man. A man that I might add has good enough credit and a job to buy a Freaking house for his son to stay in. Ryan is an immature jerk. Period

PRB26 is probably Ryans new girlfriend…lol

  Ah, another Maci “super fan”. Cute!
  Oh, and in the correct context, “Ryans new girlfriend” would really be “Ryan’s…” (with an apostrophe). I know, you don’t see those much anymore! Your “lol” should also have a period following it.
  And just for kicks, I’d rather stick a knife in my eye than have a baby with someone like Ryan. I just happen to think it would be even worse to have to deal with a beyotch like Maci.

Okay, but Ryan DID recently say he hated Maci’s partying and “slutty ways”. So obviously he DOES complain about her a lot. Don’t say the show portrayed you in any way, it was you that portrayed yourself!

soooo sad its gona be over for gooodd !

I think that Maci has changed during her time on the show…..she treats Kyle horribly—is very controlling and it is almost always him trying to win her back over even when she has treated him horribly.
Ashley

Bad editing? What about her tweets about Maci or when she said to Bentley “I think you should just live with Daddy”. Dalis is disrespectful and insecure.
Leah

Until Ryan and Dalis get married, she is nothing more than Ryan’s girlfriend and does not have a say in Bentley’s upbringing!

  I agree! Dalis needs to know her place.

  Even step parents don’t. Never forget that. You can love and care for the child but you are never the parent.
- SonnySky
  
  By the way they allready broke up Dalis caught Ryan cheating on her.

I don’t even believe that Bentley is Ryan’s I think he’s kyles kid.

  Guess you must have not seen the first shows

Why do these guys call the female bad names for doing what they do? If its not ok for the women its not ok for the guys.

I really dislike Dalis because she is very disrespectful, annoying, and immature. how dare you tell bentley ” you dont want to go to school right” instead of encouraging him to go to school and interact with other kids.also because when ryan and maci were arguing you should have distracted bentley so that he wouldnt here what was going on instead of staring at them while they argue when you have nothing to do with their converstaion. And honestly if i was maci i wouldnt even let ryan have bentley some day because when she was pregnant he ignored her and basically wast there for her …..#Enough said

I DONT like the fact that Dalis got in it. Ahaha i would love to see dalis in Maci’s position . stupid A-hole. I dislike Dalis she’s so insecure !

Ugh. Dalis is an insecure girlfriend who just needs to back off. What I don’t understand: Ryan was a lazy assed father when Bentley was first born. He cared more about partying with his friends than he did his newborn. Now sure, it’s great that he is mors hands-on and more involved in his child’s life, but you gotta wonder how much of that is influenced by his parents who enable his bad behaviour for the most part. Maci has been dating the same guy since she and ryan broke up…. ryan has dated a few girls since theid split… yet he’s raising a stink about how maci lives with kyle and how bad this is for his son… like… realy???? At least Kyle was a lot more respectful than dalis to ryan and doesn’t speak negatively about ryan in front of bentley. Dalis is the type of girl I could imagine will try to turn bentley against his own mother… she seems deviant and sneaky. I have the feeling she is pulling the strings as far as why Ryan is being an even bigger douche than normal. What kind of father calls the mother of his child stupid right in front of the kid?? This has been going on for a long while, but dalis seems to be getting a kick out of knowing her boyfriend hates the mother of his child. Maci may not have a job, but she is busting her ass in school trying to secure a good future for her son. I just think it’s ridiculous that a girl would try to get inbetween any kind relationship between a father and mother when it’s necessary for the sake of the child that both parents get along. No one says they need to be besties, but just that they get along.
