Ryan Edwards is currently enjoying a life reboot, with sobriety, a new fiancé and baby on the way, but his soon-to-be ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer is reminding fans just how the Teen Mom star’s (alleged) past actions have affected her in the nearly two years since their split.
On Wednesday, Mackenzie— who is currently in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle with Ryan— posted a video to TikTok showing her Tennessee home today, cozy and decorated for Christmas. As Gracie Abrams‘ song “That’s So True” plays, the video then flashes to what the same rooms in the home looked like back in February 2023, after Ryan allegedly destroyed the home by ripping appliances off the walls, spray-painting the walls and splashing paint all over the rooms, among other things.
In the post’s comment section, many people expressed their surprise at how much damage was actually done to the home, while others commented that Ryan should have faced more-serious consequences for his alleged actions. (The home— which, according to Hamilton County, Tennessee, property records is only owned by Mackenzie and has been since it was purchased in 2019— was unlivable after it was destroyed.)
“Omg I forgot how much of a wreck you were left with,” one person wrote. “I can’t even imagine how much it must’ve cost to fix all of this. 2025 is for you and the kids!”
“He wrecked a house and walked away,” another person wrote. “I’m glad he’s doing better but this isn’t ‘history’ for Mack. She’s still dealing with all of the consequences of his prior actions.”
“These comments are crazy for excusing an abuser just because he’s sober now… Let her speak her SIDE. Her experience is REAL and valid,” someone else wrote.
When one person told Mackenzie that she should be grateful that Ryan is sober now, she clapped back.
“Addiction is terrible and makes one do terrible things,” the person wrote in the comment section. “Just be glad he is finally going to be able to be the sober dad all the kids deserve, God knows you didn’t care when he wasn’t sober driving to your wedding. Be so for real right now.”
“You’re so wrong about that,” Mack wrote back. “My kids and I deserve so much more than the road we have walked. Go touch grass.”
According to the officers on the scene in February 2023, the home Ryan, Mackenzie and their kids once shared was “completely destroyed,” allegedly by Ryan, who was listed as the “suspect” in a police report exclusively obtained by The Ashley.
According to the police report, officers who arrived at Ryan and Mackenzie’s home on February 10, 2023 were met with an incredibly disturbing scene, with the reporting officer writing in the report that the home had been “completely destroyed,” (except for Ryan’s possessions and his kids’ rooms).
Officers arrived on the scene one day after Mackenzie had taken out a temporary restraining order against Ryan. The order stated that Ryan was not allowed to be at the home, unless it was with a uniformed officer to retrieve his personal items. (Mackenzie and Ryan had already split by this time, with Mack listing their separation date in January in the divorce filing.)
The lead deputy reported that, upon arriving at the Edwards’ home, she immediately noticed that several bedroom windows had been shattered, and that personal items had been thrown all over the front yard of the home.
Inside, the damage done was even more shocking, with spray paint, markers and paint being used to destroy the home’s fixtures, walls and possessions. A loaded gun and knife had also been left out in the wreckage.
“The refrigerator was tipped over and leaned against the counter, and the doors were open and had been written on in permanent marker. I observed a loaded AK-47 style rifle on the kitchen counter,” the deputy wrote in the report. “The microwave had been spray-painted blue, the dining room table was flipped over and had been spray painted with profanities, as had the patio window and other walls in the house. There was also writing in black marker on the walls.”
Ryan allegedly used a knife and other items to punch holes in the home’s walls.
“I observed white paint smudges across the floor, as well as a knife stuck into the wall holding a note,” the officer wrote. “I observed several other holes in the drywall, and several pointed metal objects also stuck into the drywall. I observed the couch had been placed upside down against the front door.”
Ryan– who had previously been making social media posts accusing Mackenzie of cheating on him— allegedly wrote about Mack cheating all over the home’s walls.
“Most of the graffiti on the walls were allegations of infidelity against Ms. Edwards,” the officer wrote. “There was also glass all over the floor as several windows had been broken. Deputies observed a wedding photo hanging in the hallway had also been written on.
“The doors of the cabinets had been removed and were lying on the couch, and one of the doorknobs to a closet was broken off,” the officer wrote in another part of the report.
Things got downright disgusting in the master bedroom, according to the officer’s report.
“Deputies also observed the master bedroom had an odor consistent with fecal matter but nothing was located,” the deputy wrote.
Ryan was arrested on the same day cops went to the home. At the time of Ryan’s arrest, the ‘Teen Mom OG’ dad— who was named a suspect in the police incident report—denied having any part in the destruction of his home. His denial can be seen in the officers’ body cam video.
“I did not do that. I got evidence. This is crazy. The officer said I can move my stuff out… I’ve been to my house, I saw what was done to it,” Ryan said in the video as he is being handcuffed and led to a waiting cop car.
A cop then asked Ryan who destroyed the home if it wasn’t him, and Ryan blamed the guy he thought Mackenzie was dating.
Ryan’s boots were then photographed, and the cops noted that the boots were splattered with the same white paint that was used to vandalize the house.
“Upon searching Mr. Edwards, I observed white paint on the tops and sides of his boots which appeared to match what I observed on the floor of the Edwards residence,” the officer wrote.
Since that time, Ryan has sobered up and is now living with Amanda Conner, a woman he met in rehab in 2023. They are reportedly engaged, but are unable to get married as of right now, due to Ryan still being legally married to Mack. Ryan and Amanda are expecting a baby girl in February 2025.
Ryan and Amanda have yet to comment on Mackenzie’s latest post.

All these people saying Mack deserved it or she should have known better so you dont feel sorry for her or her kids… please keep that same energy when he does it to Amanda. She knew better EVEN MORE, and chose to get with him and create a child fresh out of rehab. Seemingly doing better in recovery doesnt mean Ryan is still not a shit person. This man murdered cats YEARS before any of this. He is trash.
so much black/white thinking in these comments, when it’s seemingly more of a gray are situation.
people are jumping to ‘team mack’ v. ‘team rhine’ ~ when it’s actually ‘team they both suck (but rhine sucks more)’.
**gray AREA situation
also ~ can @theashley PLEASE do something about karol? she’s giving major hannah vibes with her overt hostility and lowbrow attitude.
like, it’s one thing to disagree ~ it’s quite another to tell others to f*ck off (esp WRT to trashy 🗑️ reality ‘stars’ on a sinking ship show).
I agree…they both do suck…that’s what I’m trying to say, everyone thinks I’m pro Ryan when I’m not
No, you’re not saying that, Karol.
You’re saying Mackenzie should have known better.
You’re saying Mackenzie took part in the trashing of her and her children’s home, be it by her own hand or a hired one.
You’ve stated, “she’s almost as guilty as him because she stuck by him and had amble opportunity before the wedding to get out.“. In what fucked up world do you live in that you can even put something like that out in the world and wonder why we’re ALL calling you out on your support of an abuser? This isn’t normal thinking.
You then stated one minute you weren’t accusing of her of doing drugs, then wrote: “Although, people with brains ought to wonder how she got so damn skinny with no help. I mean, no exercise and she was eating in EVERY clip…it’s impossible to maintain a skinny frame without chemical help.”
Uh, WHAT? I’ll have you know that there are many women under the age of 40, and some over even, that have metabolisms so fast that eating 2 pieces of cheesecake at 3 am and going to sleep on it won’t see weight gain. I know this because I come from a family of such people, and I know I am not alone. You’re reaching and it just makes you look ignorant and again, like YOU’RE MAKING EXCUSES FOR AN ABUSER.
Then there was this brilliant remark you made: “Even Benny said that they spent most of the time in their room at Jagger’s birthday…why is that…either they was doing drugs or doing the nasty. ”
Or.. maybe arguing? You ever think that maybe that might be the case? You don’t have to be yelling to be arguing. C’mon, are you so immature that all your teeny tiny mind can fathom of that situation is drug use or fucking? Bravo for the stellar deductive thinking skills, Karol. Truly impressive.
Just stop. You’ve made it clear that in your head, it isn’t that both Ryan and Mackenzie are both pieces of shit. It’s that Mackenzie is responsible for this because she married that sentient piece of shit in the first place. Why don’t you grasp the fact that there is nothing that woman did that makes this okay? THIS IS NOT EXCUSABLE.
Mackenzie should have put her oldest child’s well being above all else and stayed the fuck away from an addict, but she didn’t. Mackenzie should not have married Ryan, but she did. Mackenzie should have left him before her youngest came along, but she didn’t. In these things, she was WRONG and the perception the TM fan base had of her was something she wrought upon herself- but this abuse isn’t part of the issues she needs to own. It isn’t her fault to lay claim to.
You’re putting some words in my mouth…no she didn’t deserve it but yes, if she was better educated in addiction she’d know what the future may or may not hold and she would have made a better choice.
Sthu, im right…you’re wrong…Mack is NOT a Saint.
Half of yall think this is ALL Ryan and it’s not…Mack should have been smarter
Wow, you’re dim. I have no idea how you put one foot in front of the other on a daily basis.
I copy/pasted shit you wrote. YOU wrote.
Live in your head, chickie. It’s the only place that’ll have you. 😂
It’s so blindingly obvious that you have no idea what you’re talking about in regards to addiction or those dealing with addicts in their lives. So just fucking stop. You talk yourself in circles like you are just so smart, and you just come off sounding ignorant. So just shut the fuck up, you spineless fucking troll, because I guarantee you would never say this shit to her face.
No, we DON’T always see the red flags and warning signs. Sometimes we are so blinded by love that we are incapable of seeing what is so obvious to other people. And, yes, I am speaking from experience. I had NO IDEA that my husband was using until I found his shit AFTER our son was born. He admitted that it had been the majority of our relationship and I had 0 clue.
It does not matter that she married an addict. It does not matter that she had children with an addict. It does not matter that she blamed Maci. None of it fucking matter. She and her children DID NOT DESERVE THIS!
Oh no. Karol is mad at me. Whatever shall I do?
Go ahead and take your ball on home. No one here wants to play with you anyway, in case that wasn’t clear.
I wasn’t aware that the damage was to that extent…
He made his children’s home unsafe, and unlivable because he felt slighted. I don’t care if Mackenzie cheated, I also don’t care if she wrote that letter to Maci a million years ago, or if she has a snotty attitude! His new girlfriend knows what he has done, and she simply does not care. She sees how he speaks about/to the mother of two of his children, and I think she enjoys it; because she is so insecure that she needs him to put his ex down so she can feel validated. She goes online and antagonizes a woman that was a victim of her boyfriend… Ya, this isn’t going to blow up in Ryan and his girlfriends faces.
I’d be on my best behavior, moving in the shadows while those two made my case for me.
I’m no Ryan by any means BUT Mack seems to have a vindictive side too…I have often wondered if maybe she didn’t hire someone to do some of this damage so she could have more to blame Ryan for?
No Ryan fan*
I’m no Ryan fan by any means..
Oh no, how could anyone ever fathom such a thing? That’d make you look as fucked up as good ‘ol Rhine is! *gasp!
It’s people like you that make women feel like criminals for daring to speak up for having the nerve to be abused.
Anyone trying to victim blame Mackenzie is a steaming pile of shit. The girl wasn’t a fan favorite for sure, but she and her children didn’t deserve this. NO ONE does.
Wow. What a disgusting comment. Do you often apologise for abusers?
Bruja- Not saying they deserve this (especially not kids). Mack didn’t deserve it but she knew what he was when she married. Ryan even drove to their wedding high as a kite and she still married him. The girl knew what she was getting into.
And Nic, I’m not saying Ryan didn’t do the majority of the damage…I just wouldn’t put it past Mack to do a little extra damage/have a little extra done so she would have even more to blame Ryan for.
“Mack didn’t deserve it but she knew what he was when she married. ”
No, I’m pretty sure she didn’t think he would shred apart the family home where 2 of his own blood> children lived- let alone a 3rd he was a fucking step-father to, leaving epitaphs of hate, mockery and threats on appliances and walls... and an assault rifle out as the ultimate threat. "<i>Cross me and cross over“, perhaps. I guess the fact that he did this to his kids too is moot though, right, because “The girl knew what she was getting into”? Listen to yourself. Asshat.
Fuck people like you. Fuck you firmly. I sincerely hope karma never takes notice of you because you’re hateful and she won’t be any kinder than you’ve been towards Mackenzie or her kids who had no say in this situation.

**the formatting got screwed up, so I re-posted this for ease of reading.
The kids didn’t no…but Mack was with him for like 2 years prior to the “I do’s” so she knew full well why may or may not happen.
He was an addict then. He may not have been abusive at first but with an addict you never know what they are capable of…she could have saved herself and her kids A LOT of grief by running for the hills before the marriage but she didn’t so she’s almost as guilty as him because she stuck by him and had amble opportunity before the wedding to get out.
And FYI I didn’t read your long winded message because you aren’t getting the point and therefore are of no importance to me
You’re a whackjob, Karol.
You’re spewing some of the most delusional vitriol I’ve ever read in your lame ass attempt to cheerlead Rhine. You’re seriously defending abuse and blaming the victim.
Knowing someone has issues is one thing. Maybe she thought he’d change? Maybe she thought that her standing by him would mean something? Who knows? All I know is you keep blaming this lady for Rhine being violently unstable and abusive. Stating someone is at fault for the actions he visited upon her and the kids makes that someone look like they’re CHEERING ON AN ABUSER.
Not a fan of his, my ass. 🤣 You’re his #1 fan, you fucking Annie Wilkes wanna be.
@ Karol.
They only dated for 1 year before they got married. So I don’t know where the two years from.
Mack was 20 when she married 29-year-old Rhine. There’s a ~9 year age gap.
Timeline:
* May 2016: Mack & Rhine meet at the Gym (she worked there, he was a client)
* June 2016: Mack moves in with Rhine
* July 2016: Mack files for divorce from Zach (her 1st husband and Hudson’s father)
* October 2016: Mack catches the bouquet at Maci’s wedding (ala jumping up and down and underwear showing 🤦♀️)
* November 2016: Mackenzie’s divorce is finalized
*December 2016: Rhine proposes.
* March 2017: Rhine is arrested with heroin driving Mack’s car, she’s in the car.
* May 2017: R&M get married (ala romantic sidewalk wedding).
* May 2017: Rhine immediately leaves for rehab. (ala “graduates early”)
* Nov 2017: Formal Wedding
Do I think Mack knew about the drug use? YES (of course she was there when he was arrested, driving her car)
Do I think she really knew what she was getting into? NO!! Why would she think that Rhine would try to kill her?
She was 20, she had been force to marry the guy that knocked her up at 16, and had just gotten out of a relationship. She probably was looking for a wealthy man that could take care of her. She was a single mother, who had no education, was making hourly, and probably thought this guy would solve everything….
Well it didn’t.
There is no such thing as a perfect victim. I don’t care that Mack sought out Rhine, Cole sought out Chelsea, and no one cares now. I think Cole and Chelsea love each other and are happy. I don’t care that she knew he was doing drugs, I don’t think she knew to what extent or that he would ever become violent.
Mack is the only mother and the only active parent to three children.
She doesn’t and no one deserves to think their partner will k!ll. No one.
Also, what would she had to gain for doing more damage after Rhine left. You can’t submit a claim to insurance if the damage is down by the owner. So this was all going to be paid out of pocket. And she did, she paid for the repairs herself, and Rhine hasn’t done a damn thing. Nor has he in court one time tried to claim the damage wasn’t him.
@teenmomog2fan, you think Mack is gonna admit to creating/having a family member create some of the damages 😂😂😂😂😂…you’re as delusional as people THINK I am…Mack is just as pathetic as Cryin Ryan.
She is not a Saint.
FYI, they started dating in ’16 and married in early ’18…that’s TWO YEARS.
How do you supposedly know the timeline…is that you Macky Poo
Pretty sure Karol is one of Rhine’s Tinder matches. 😂
Now you’re saying Mackenzie was doing drugs? Oh you don’t seem oddly jealous of a DV victim… I seriously can’t grasp how deep you’re going to defend this guy and make it Mackenzie’s fault. Only Amanda would go further. Oh wait.
You’re touched “Karol”. You’ve got broken toys in the attic and you should seek help for your obsession with Rhine. Really. You seem ill.
Not one person is saying Mackenzie is a saint. Not one person is defending her poor decision making when it came to marrying, or staying with an addict.
However that’s quite different than saying by doing so, she DESERVED to have any of this visited upon her. You’re legit the only person defending Rhine’s behavior and even going so far as to state Mackenzie staged some of this herself. TO WHAT END? She had nothing to gain by doing so, and everything to lose.
You think police didn’t investigate this? Rhine is a dolt who basically signed his name to all of this insanity. He fucked himself… and YOU’RE DEFENDING HIM. That, my dear toy tossed friend, is what makes you look batshit crazy.
I don’t need or want you bowing to me, hell, I’m fine with you acting like I don’t exist at all. You’re tainted and diseased and clearly have more issues than I have time in the day to point out.
Seek help.
@ karol. According to everything on the web, they got married in 2017. so no, not two years. Are you the Food City Floozy???
You’re a disgusting human being, as vile as ryan. It’s ppl like you that stop women speaking up. Karma is gonna get you big time for being so gross
Gross how, all I said is that she’s not as innocent as she seems…she did date the addict and knew full well what she was getting herself into…yeah she couldn’t have known he’d eventually get violent but if she knew anything about addiction she had to have known it was possible…they’re unpredictable and capable of ANYTHING…the true victims here are the kids…they didn’t ask to be put in this situation but they are.
Advice to all the ladies out there who date addicts before marriage “GET OUT NOW”…you can’t change them no matter how hard you try…they can only change themselves (if they want to) and bringing kids into the mix thinking that will help them change only makes it hard on the kiddos in the long run.
Yeah, a mother of 3 doing the best she can. No help from her dirt bag husband had the time and money to hire someone for this. My Bil was addicted to cocaine. He stayed up for days writing on walls.it’s something addicts are known to do.
She had 2 of 3 with the dirtbag and didn’t have to…she had a choice.
We’re not talking about her having kids with Ryan. We are talking about HIM and his terrible actions. He destroyed their home. He shit everywhere and wrote insane drug fueled word salad on the walls. Yet, you won’t stop blaming Mackenzie. Everyone understands that you’re trying to run her into the ground. This isn’t about her marrying him or making bad decisions as a 20 year old. Why don’t you just stfu.
So, Mackenzie is responsible for Ryan’s actions because she should have known he would do this. But Ryan somehow isn’t responsible for his own actions? Yeah.. okay. No rational person thinks like this.
No, MacKenzie is playing victim here…if she’d have left before the “I do’s” she’d have saved herself AND HER KIDS A lot of grief.
Ryan is responsible for his own actions.
All I’m saying is Mack made bad decisions of her own (decisions that have made her kids) for staying with the slimeball.
If she didn’t want to leave prior to the wedding then why tf didn’t she leave when he was in rehab (FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME)…yeah she was pregnant but that should have given her the strength to go (not made her feel like she had to stay)
So you think it’s Mackenzie’s fault because she didn’t leave him before he became violent? But Ryan isn’t at fault for becoming violent and trashing their family home? Ask yourself why you think Mackenzie bears so much more responsibility than Ryan does. Why is she more responsible for his actions than he is in your opinion? Sounds like you just hate women..
So much for women supporting women right. The internalized misogyny of some women is so gross. You don’t have to like Mackenzie to acknowledge and understand that she is the victim in this case. The fact that you will go out of your way to make excuses for her abuser is something you should sit with and ask yourself why you’re willing to do that for him but you refuse to understand that Mackenzie is the victim all because you don’t like her. She made a lot of mistakes along the way but she is a victim of domestic violence, two things can be true at once. I really hope you’re able to figure out why you’re so ready to excuse a violent man over a woman you don’t personally like.
I’m not excusing the violence…but Mack had a plethora of opportunity to get out and didnt…just because AN ADDICT doesn’t start out violent doesn’t mean they won’t eventually get there…they are addicts (they are unpredictable)…stay away from them…they do nothing but cause trouble.
You’re talking about addicts like they’re all shit people, like YOU ARE. A lot of addicts are just sick people who cant stop using, who dont have a mean bone in their body. You seem to want people to think u know it all abt addition when u dont know shit. Ryan was an abusive cat killing piece of shit before after and during addiction. It was already in him. drugs didnt make him fuck up the house or do shit, his own psychotic self did all that. Addicts are fighting a disease, some are violent some are dishonest some are scum, SOME are just hurt, damaged and in need of treatment. At least an addict can get clean, theres nothing you can do to get rid of your own shittiness. Haha.
What Ryan did here is horrible and I’m glad Mack wasn’t at home. But I hope Ryan has moved on from this incident. That is a part of how you stay so clean. Addicts need to let go of the past. Sobriety usually involves a lot of failed attempts before one is finally successful. Mimi Jen and Maci may even secretly regret Ryan’s progress because they are so used to cleaning up his messes. Rehabs are right in that it’s usually a “family disease”.
“Moving on” implies he was ever dwelling on this. He clearly hasn’t been. He trashed his children’s home and walked away without apologizing or paying for the damages. He never felt remorse or took accountability. You’re constantly on here defending Ryan and Amanda so hard and it’s just not subtle at all.
No matter what you think of Mackenzie, who was only 20 when she married that POS, he did this horrific damage to his kids’ home. Left a loaded AK-47 on the counter (wtf)! Got off easy because of his enabling parents. And now we’re all supposed to clap for him because he’s sober for 5 minutes and has knocked up yet another unsuspecting future ex-wife. Macy if you’re reading this, stop encouraging the relationship with Bentley.
I don’t care if she was 20 or not…being young doesn’t give you an excuse to be brainless
@theashley hey Ashley. Any way this person can be banned? Shes giving Pearl and Hannah vibes. We all are here to have an open discussion but this individual has blatantly harassed and caused so much hatred on your site that we as users do not to one another. Comments have tripled on posts simply because Karol replies to every comment cursing out the OP. I know you’ve done it before, can we ban this user? It’s no longer a fun environment to express opinions and I hate to see fellow users stopping down at this persons level out of frustration. Thanks ♥️
Drugs didn’t make Ryan a POS, he was a useless stain on this world since we met him. It doesn’t matter that he is potentially clean now, getting off of drugs doesn’t change your personality, and he’s an a**hole
I’m not in complete disagreement with your comment, but getting sober most definitely does change ones personality. Getting sober also gives most addicts a new lease/outlook on life among numerous other changes as well. Not everyone, some are still scum, but I’ve seen it first hand in a number of people throughout my personal life and career.
Whole situation still seems sketchy. Feels like both were involved
I’m so sick of people being like well you were a gold digger and a famewh*re so you deserved it, or making fun of her for taking two years to finally fix it up….
I find Mack so f*cking annoying, but NO SHE DIDN’T DESERVE THIS. Rhine is a deadbeat, been in jail or rehab, had to work to pay for this. Her homeowners’ policy doesn’t cover a co-owner of the house destroying it. She had to pay for it. And since she just filled with the court a month ago for 18 months of CS backpay from Rhine. She did this by herself.
If Mack was home that day, Rhine might have k!lled her. Like her hate her, but she is the only one raising those kids, and Jen & Larry seem to have no problem with Rhine’s behavior–get their buddy judge to give him breaks, pay for his legal defense.
Mack was 20 when she married 29 year old Rhine, and had just got divorced less than a year before from the man her parents made her marry when she got pregnant at 16.
She was a stupid idiot, yeah, she probably was thinking that she got a sweet gig, but that’s not what happened. And now she will have deal with the trauma of him strangling her, threatening to k!ll her, and what she came home to.
She’s seems like she’s turned her life around, is working full time now, raising three kids on her own, with no support from the father, who is still married to her, and now pregnant with a different woman, and is making bank on TM while Maci has her lips glued to his a$$.
I will believe Rhine is truly sober when he sends Mack the money to make amends to fix that house he destroyed.
100%. As if victims are supposed to know the future. We (survivor here) fall in love with someone who masks their awful ways. Once we are in they have a grip on us because we want that old person back. No one deserves this. Not even Mack.
When you get involved with an addict you should be prepared for the unexpected.
It’s different if they are one way (not an addict) prior to marriage then change (become an addict) afterwards, but it wasn’t like that with them…he was an addict from the very beginning. When it comes to that situation you educate yourself and as they say on Big Brother “expect the unexpected”
Not saying it’s Mack’s fault but she should have educated herself instead of jumping in feet first, making TWO kids and having them suffer as well.
Please someone tell me that POS junkie deadbeat at least had to pay for it.
What he did was inexcusable and unforgivable. THAT WAS HIS KIDS’ HOME THAT HE DESTROYED.
F*ck Ryan and his alleged sobriety. He was always a POS, he’s still a POS and he will always be a POS incapable of accountability
People were making fun of her in the comments, for it taking two years for her to fix it.
And she said, well insurance didn’t cover (yeah, no shit Rhine is probably on the deed to the house, you can claim damage done by a co-owner), so she had to pay for it out of pocket. And she worked.
Also, Rhine is 18 months behind in CS payments, so yeah even those people being like, oh she’s getting CS, that’s what paid for it. She’s working.
In AA, there is the idea of amends, I will believe Rhine is truly sober when he pays Mack back for the damage he did, pays child support and for therapy for his kids and his ex-wife. Until then Rhine can keep drinking all he wants and claiming his “sober”, lol.
No. He didn’t pay anything. Zero consequences. Monetarily or otherwise. in fact, unsurprising, but infuriatingly…
He and his girlfriend also want her to vacate the home, to take it, or to get it in the divorce, or a share of the sale.
(His girlfriends, and exes, always drink the cool aid about his most recent ex being his trigger and that he’s just being reactive. LMAO even with the weapons and threats ALL OVER the house, and his belongings all safe and sound.)
He’s got zero shame with what he did, and wanting a piece of “their” home.
No insurance claims, he didn’t pony up the money out of “regret” or accountability after rehab, (He doesn’t have any of those things) either… His kids had to deal with two years of the very visible remnants of this as SHE worked and saved to put it right. I’ve done repairs, it’s expensive. The whole house was wrecked. I’m not surprised it was two years. Even if she’d had money and people lined up, it’d have taken months to put it back.
Those poor kids.
It made me so mad, when people were making fun of her in her comments about it taking her two years to fix it up.
Yeah, she probably got all the garbage out in a couple of days or a week or two. But Rhine did structural damage to that house. Its going to take so much time to fix up.
Furniture is expensive. That’s fridge he broke is about $3,000. Plus getting crews out, getting bids, getting the money. Its not easy. And she’s working full time raising three kids.
No one will for give her for that dumb letter she wrote when she was 20 or the fact that RHINE was high driving, like yeah she should have know, but Rhine the AH does that to her house, tries to k!ll her, (not the 1st time he threatened someone with a 🔫)and everyone is still like oh, Rhine he’s better forgive and forget. But how dare Mack write a dumb letter, that I agree was stupid. But like that was 7 years ago, and she was 20.
I don’t like Mackenzie and I 100% think she got with Ryan and overlooked his issues for MTV fame. That said, she didn’t deserve the shit he put her through and those innocent children especially didn’t deserve it. The way people act like she should just get over everything he did because he’s “better now” is crazy. That’s part of that dopehead mentality I’ve been talking about, acting like getting clean magically undoes all the pain and trauma you’ve caused others. Mackenzie has had to fix all of this damage, most likely at her own expense, so she and their children can have a safe place to live. As far as I know, he still hasn’t taken accountability for his actions.
Was Mackenzie a complete dumbass for marrying an obvious addict? Of course. Was she a bitch for reading that letter to Maci? Very much so. Does any of that give Ryan a free pass to terrorize her, especially after she wised up and separated from him? Absolutely not and he should continued to be dragged for all he did until he actually shows remorse, delivers a sincere apology, and replays her for the damages with interest (while also catching up on that child support while he’s at it).
Yeah, Mackenzie is childish with a lot of her comments online, but this video isn’t an example of that at all. Plus, nothing compares to dressing up as your boyfriend’s wife for Halloween and making fun of how he doesn’t financially support his kids.
Wonder if he’ll ever admit he did this.
Or is everyone just supposed to pretend it didn’t happen?
And good for her for cleaning it up and moving on. Kind of.
Hard lesson to learn here but hopefully she learns it.
What he did was not right but she sat by his side watching how he was treating his first son, then she decided yo marry him to which I feel shouldn’t be legal because he was totally under the influence and didn’t know what he was doing. She allowed herself to be put in this position the moment she blessed Maci out on the stage for “not telling her” about his addiction. She can’t be that crazy to not know something was going on and Maci didn’t feed him drugs. Now she needs to think of all the times she spoke bad about Maci because Maci kept Bentley away for serious reasons. Again he never should have destroyed that home, but I feel she is somewhat to blame since she knew what she was getting into.
She is no part to blame for Ryan trashing her home. How did she know she was getting into THAT? How did she know he was going to try to kill her?
She didn’t, but he’s an addict…their unpredictable, therefore she had to know it was a possibility
When she was 20, she should have known that several years later he would eventually threaten to kill her and trash their home? No. Just no. Do you even hear yourself?
I don’t give two sh*ts how old she was. Age has nothing to do with it…but having a brain t any age accounts for something (and she was SERIOUSLY lacking in that department at 20).
She couldn’t have known what the future would hold…BUT if she knew anything anything about addiction she should have known the possibilities and would have steered clear…but she didnt.
But she didn’t really know anything about addiction when she was that young. That’s the point of saying she was young. And most addicts don’t try to kill you and trash your home. Just say what you really mean – that you don’t personally like her, so you think she deserved this. You sound unhinged trying to justify your position.
I’m not excusing the violence…but Mack had a plethora of opportunity to get out and didnt…just because AN ADDICT doesn’t start out violent doesn’t mean they won’t eventually get there…they are addicts (they are unpredictable)…stay away from them…they do nothing but cause trouble.
People who don’t use can be unpredictable also. My mom’s first husband came off as a super nice guy. I’ve always said he could walk into a room of 100 people and 99 of them would like him when he left. He didn’t show his abusive side for years. Then after a while he went off and was an abusive monster. Have you ever heard the saying, “wolf in a sheep’s clothing.” It’s absolutely true. Abusers are very good at hiding who they are.
True but people that use have a chemical imbalance in their brain which makes them far more unpredictable
do you feel the same way about amanda? she made a child with him knowing he isnt there for his current ones (hes wayyyy behind on child support).
While I definitely don’t condone what Ryan did, it is true that drugs make people do awful things. I’ve seen it first hand- it’s like 2 different people. Does anyone know if he had to pay to repair it all? He should have?
I hope he stays sober, for the kids sake.
She wrote in the comments, she paid for out of pocket. Insurance doesn’t cover claims when it’s the co-owner of the house that does it.
He’s also refused to take any responsibility for him doing it. Mack also filed last month for 18 months of back CS, so yeah.
He’s really working those AA steps. /s
I’ve seen it myself also. My mom is married to a meth addict, thief, liar, felon. He lost custody of his kids. No job, no license. My mom tried to help him. I would call the cops when he was abusing her and she would pay for his lawyer. Meth addicts are like a cancer to families/friends. They destroy everything. I do not feel sorry for them. I had a horrific childhood of all kinds of abuse and neglect. I have a myriad of mental illnesses, but I never turned to drugs or alcohol. I’m sick of hearing stories about people who blame the drugs.
What a piece of trash he is. Maci is as well for randomly starting to support him. Very obvious she is only doing it to irritate McKenzie.
Hey Ashley, why the use of allegedly through this article? Ryan was adjudicated guilty in this case?
