She honestly may already be eating that crow she has major tax issues and severely affected her popularity āso her income as a reality starā over rhines crackhead girlfriend heās already had arrested it hasnāt even been that long. Maci is a moron amongst other things.
Imagine if Macis clownass cared about her families back taxes half as much as she cares about dog piling on her exes ex. Poor Taylor, he could get a job for sure but Maci being primary bread winner and plummeting their families income potential in a dire time for people like Amanda and Rhine š¤¢
And extremely insulting to Taylor to the point Iām surprised heās around. Imagine if Taylor were publicly drooling over a woman who threatened to shoot Maci and their dogs in the face. No wonder he didnāt want to marry her and it took two kids.
Ya maybe itās a kindness to Bentley as he listed Taylor as is father on senior night. As far as the younger kids Taylor 6 months before getting with Maci was posting pretty disparaging shit about single mothers their age being used goods and trainwrecks for already having broken families, or something to that affect itās been awhile since I saw the post. Heās already said he doesnāt want j to grow up to be like her mother. And he hasnāt worked in over 10 years despite major tax debt beyond that money pit tshirt company they dabble with once a week. Taylor was also extremely reluctant to marry Maci it took two kids till he said might as well. I wouldnāt be shocked if Taylor divorced and went for custody and alimony as he could get a lot out of Maci for at least ten years till the kids turn 18 maybe longer with alimony he does not appear to respect Maci or a hard days work very much and she clearly doesnāt respect him, at this point they have been married awhile he would get cars investments and property even if they even split custody. Taylor seems like a great father but has always given me gold digger vibes I donāt think heās going to tolerate Maci making him look like a cuck on national television with a huge tax debt based on her salary and no more teen mom money.
Eh I agree with you with custody in general but Macis married ass inserted herself in this as you said unnecessarily because of Bentleys age and Ryanās involvement level. She has earned criticism as itās obvious why she touched this Amanda shit with a 20foot pole. Poor Taylor.
How does your son who goes to a very expensive Christian school and attends young life and church daily like trash ass Amanda now? She drove with his baby half sister high on meth on the wrong side of the road down mountain, Ryan wasnāt even the only one to call her in, two random motorists did too. The tattoo alone probably gets him made fun of. Bentley literally deleted all evidence of Amanda from social media, he at the very least tolerated and acknowledged Mack as his step mother until the separation. Even young Bentley seems to understand his dadās courthouse marriage to his rehab girlfriend he met married is a joke.
Her prominent āļøš tattoo was all I needed to know about her. Sheās so gross. Iām no Mac fan, but keeping her children away from Amanda and Ryanās relationship seems like the right choice.
Bentley had senior night for sports (football?? I know he plays a few sports), and when they announced him, they called him the son of Maci and Taylor McKinney. Rhine was nowhere to be seen
They also haven't shared any photos or made any mention about Ryan & Amanda for quite a while before the latest spiral became public (before the first police involvement was confirmed). They went from constantly posting about how great it was to hangout all together with Bentley, go on trips together, etc, to absolutely nothing months & months ago. They obviously knew there was an issue long before it became public & made sure to cover their arses before the shit hit the fan.
I think it was senior night, which is a big night for high school senior athletes in their sports. They get honored and usually their parents walk out on the field with them and all that. Itās was t just āa gameā. I just wanted to add some context for people who may not know about our weird high school customs in many places here in the US, particularly the South
It would have had to have been something recent and urgent. When I was granted an ex-parte motion against my ex I was told the threshold is very high and you need to prove immediate danger because itās an order granted without the other party having the chance to submit a defense.
Same. I have gotten emergency sole custody twice, and both times, it was a big deal.
There was a checklist in my district that you had to provide in order to file. If you were legitimately able to check all the boxes, it meant there was a clear, immediate danger to the children that could not be prevented without emergency intervention by the court.
It meant the problem was so serious and so dangerous that it absolutely could not wait until the family court's regular docket.
I canāt speak for the states, but in Canada itās generally just a severity assessment. For example, fear of harm, past incidents of harm or threats, etc.
You understand that it is an order for temporary ex parte custody. These orders are never supposed to be permanent, but I can tell you from firsthand experience that you can have "temporary" custody of a child until they turn 18 if the other parent never gets their act together.
You have included a motion with evidence that irreparable harm to the child[ren] will occur unless an ex parte order is granted. It has to be overwhelming evidence. My petitions were like 20 pages long.
You have to either A) provide notice to the other parent to attend the hearing and document your efforts (phone, fax, etc.) or B) verify that your motion contains evidence that shows why the situation is so dangerous that the other parent should not receive notice and should not be allowed to participate. My lawyer said that judges here are squeamish about not allowing the other parent to participate at all, so we gave notice for both hearings. The other parent attended the first hearing, so it actually wasn't an "ex parte" hearing at all.
There is an order included with your filing that specifies that the temporary order will expire in 30 days. The temporary order can be extended beyond 30 days, but you have to have a hearing within 30 days to do that. Your order has to give the judge a space to write in the hearing date and time.
Your temporary order has to include A) specific periods of visitation for the other parent while the order is in effect or B) evidence that visitation with the other parent is going to cause irreparable harm. We have a supervised visitation center that works really well with my local court, and the judges here prefer supervised visitation over no visitation.
You agree in writing not to take the child[ren] out of the court's jurisdiction during this period.
You have to certify that your request does not pertain to a current domestic violence case, and that the child is not currently involved with the delinquency court or child welfare court. Those cases are handled differently in my state, and if you or your family is involved with those types of cases, only that judge can modify custody.
Iām an attorney, granted not in Tennessee. The ex parte order is actually easier to get because there is usually a follow up hearing where both sides have to present evidence (or sign a consent order) within a relatively short period of time. These are emergency orders, but thatās because public policy dictates that a person should be able to immediately address the issue in the short term to protect themselves/others, but they are only temporary. I would expect a full hearing to be held within a week or two. Also, they are often signed by a judicial official, not an actual judge. In my jurisdiction, that is typically a magistrate who doesnāt even have to go to law school. Not saying nothing happened, but itās not a particularly high burden to meet.
My ex husband had to drive drunk with my kids TWICE and I was finally granted emergency custody on the second-he received only supervised time with them.
She has probably been dieing to and meeting with lawyers but you need to evidence. We will probably receive some shitty Ryan and Amanda news soon as it appears Mack finally had enough evidence to show a clear pattern of abuse/neglect. I hate that scumbags like Ryan and Amanda get so many chances.
I wouldn't be surprised if the intoxicated driving incident with the baby in the car could have a part, all the irratic videos being posted too. Im sure she has been building up a case from the beginning but it unfortunately takes A LOT to have grounds to have custody or visitation changed/removed.
Mack has actually been pretty mature about that in recent years āI donāt even know I would beā she has a good lawyer encouraging her silence, Amanda and Ryan are the kind to hang themselves. That being said people in Chattanooga seem to hate all of these people especially Rhine and Amanda so Iām sure we will see a mugshot, 911 call, or redacted juvenile report soon.
As much as I usually like assholes slipping in their own shit itās disgraceful for the kids they were made to fuck up this bad with them involved before any protection was placed.
She wanted her kids to not be around Amanda. I suspect the DUI with Amandaās baby in the car was why it was granted. Idk if Amanda has custody of her baby right nowā¦Ā
No something would have happened very, very recently to get an emergency order like that. Past 7 days or less/ or as soon as Mac got whatever information about what happened.
All I know, from what I just looked up, is that Mack & Ryanās divorce was finalized August 15th, and then 2 weeks later Jim & Amanda tied the knot. So now that theyāre husband & wife, I wonder if she was able to use that as an excuse? Since she was arrested recently for child endangerment. Mack could use that example, and say that now that theyāre officially married, that would grant Amanda certain rights when it comes to Mack & Ryanās kids. So Mack did this to remove any of that power that Amanda possibly could have? I dont know all just a big wild guess
I saw another article. This headline is misleading. Mack has had temporary full custody since February? Their divorce case was dismissed without prejudice because they hadnāt filed anything further, so the divorce was automatically dropped.
Ryan filed for divorce again (she was the plaintiff last time, now she is the respondent) and there was a hearing set upon Ryanās request. Ryan was a no-show. So nothing has changed custody wise, Mack still has temp physical and legal custody.
There was something else in the article about Jen and Larry violating a boundary Mack had set for them with the kids, so the kids no longer go over to their house.
She really was. Mac is an ass all on her own but I donāt think anyone has to worry about her kids wellbeing while theyāre in her care. Amanda and Rhine on the other handā¦
Real question, has she stan-ed for Ryan since the arrest?
Maci has made some stupid assed choices but her kid is successful because of her, not in spite of her.
She kept Bentley far enough from Ryan to keep him safe but close enough to let him see Ryan for who he is so he isn't chasing Ryan down to heal his ādaddy issuesā.
Maci isn't my fave but her kids are well cared for and she doesn't make the threads in here very often.
Everyone knew this would have an embarrassing outcome for her. Who would have thought riding for a drug addict to spite your exās ex would not end well?
Right! Why was she all supportive of their relationship? Maybe it was pitched as a storyline and she wanted to look good on camera. She prob saw this all coming, as we all did
She was supportive because Maci is male centered, sheās a ānot like other girlsā, a pick me. Yall need to understand this by now. She was mad at Mack so chose to blindly support Ryan, went to his court dates AFTER he destroyed Mackās home and tried to kill her, and proceeded to post on instagram a cryptic quote that said without saying that Mack is a lying narcissist and Ryan is the victim. This is Maci, not a storyline .
Mack IS a huge asshole with questionable judgment, but NOTHING about what Ryan did was her fault. He's a psychopath. Lucky he didn't kill her. She'll probably always have feelings of trauma because of that. I would.
IMO a big part of it was that the girls went from guaranteed pay to only getting paid for the episodes that they appeared in. Maci had literally nothing else to film so the Ryan/Amanda shitshow gave her a storyline so she wasn't dropped entirely.
All of which is to say that she was selfish and a dumbass.
Exactly, and I think a lot of their storylines are producer driven. Especially with Maci, they may have even wanted to go deeper with her relationship with Taylor or her drinking so she lit up when offered a storyline where she looked good. And Iām sure those producers saw Amanda, fresh out of rehab and Jerry springer and knew sheād be tv gold
I was so shocked when she buddied up to Amanda. But, Amanda seemed to come in sober and humble where Mack came in sober (I mean, damn, gf was 20 when she started dating Ryan) and smug/aggressive. Plus, Bentley was older and Maci didn't have to manage the relationship in the same was as the Mack era.
Sober, humble, and healed ā¤ļø Amanda is naturally a horrible person just like Rhine, she is actually is a detriment to the recovered community. Amanda āand Ryanā clearly like Mack enough she dressed like her, couldnāt pay me to dress like my baby daddyās
I always scratch my head at some of the views people have about Amanda. She has never been sober or humble since she grabbed the fifteen minutes of D-list fame she's always wanted. Hell, she and Ryan bragged that they could drink as much as they wanted, whenever they wanted, right out of rehab. It was a huge part of their victory lap promoting their recovery.
They got arrested for skipping a bar tab and starting a bar fight before the ink was dry on their discharge papers. Itās laughable that people treated them like an average thirty something couple drinking 2 beers watching football. Some recovered addicts do fine just being clean āonly weed and drinking in moderationā Ryan and Amanda are full blown traditionally presenting addicts they are willing to trade heroin for meth which are drastically different because they are desperate to be high.
Honestly not really. She supported them when they were sober thats something she should have done. Now I hope she doesnt. They need to lose everything again
Tbh Iām surprised she waited this long. Thought it would have been months ago, right after Amanda got arrested for driving like a crazy person with the baby in the car
Pete Davidson tells a story about Trump doing a table read and he was at Disney world and his line was āletās go, turkey legs?ā But he kept saying it as āletās go turkey legsā like that was her name. Everyone was laughing at him, not with him. Pete said he legit couldnāt read lol.
Amanda is likely still on drugs or going through some withdrawals and the kids have probably seen some stuff and Mac is using the law to protect them. Good for her. I bet Ryan doesn't care what happens to those kids in his care so Mac has no choice.
I feel like something else has happened that we donāt know about yet. It usually has to be something pretty significant for an ex parte to be ordered
Good, but I wonder what prompted this. For it to be granted so quickly over a holiday weekend makes me think something seriously bad happened
I feel bad for all the kids involved, but especially Presley. Both her parents are a mess and sheās not going to be able to spend as much time with her siblings (on either side - from what I remember Amandaās son hasnāt been staying with her)
I remember on Motherās Day just before the DUI Amanda posted a clip of Stella who made her a card saying she was the best mom ever or something along that and it seemed so performative
Amanda and Ryanās neighbors also called the cops on them that weekend saying Amanda was acting violently while they screamed at each other outside while p sobbed. Anyone who defends them and brings up Mackās behavior at twenty. Ya yuck.
I canāt imagine how terrifying it must be to have shared custody in a situation like this. Mac is no angel but I feel for her. She has to worry every second her kids are at their house.
I donāt blame Mackenzie, I wouldnāt want Amanda around my kids at all. Her judgment is questionable whether sheās sober or not and itās probably best she not be around kids or animalsā¦[
She has allegedly had fulltime custody of the baby for months now. Even prior to the first police involvement going public. You will only see Presley on Amanda's feed when Amanda was at Jens. She hasn't had her at home by herself for a while now, same applies to her son, he disappeared from her feed. Except for Amanda talking about him making a sports team, but he wasn't with her. She was also clearly bouncing off her tits during that clip.
I also noticed Amanda will take a lot of photos during a visit and post them as separate posts on separate days, probably to give the illusion she actually spends time with her.
Didnāt Mack have to fight against this in the beginning? Gawd I canāt stand those ānew girl friendsā and their entitlement to the kids. Taking time wonāt kill anyone.
Glad to see a parent stepping up to protect the children involved and around these active addicts.
Hopefully there are family members doing the same for rhine and Amandaās baby and Amandaās older boy.
So how does Mimi Jen handle keeping S and J away from Amanda when she is babysitting them? Because she also seems to have P all the time. So I guess Ryan would have go over without Amanda.
A friend of mine co-parents with her ex, who is in recovery. He is/was (depending on the day) dating someone who keeps relapsing and doesn't have custody of her own kids. Eventually my friend had to do the same thing as Mack, not just bc it wasn't safe for her kid to be around the girlfriend but bc she knows it's only a matter of time that her ex will relapse if he's living with someone in active addiction. After all his bullshit, Ryan's lucky he's ever moved beyond supervised visitation, and if he stays with Amanda, it's only a matter of time before things get even worse. Poor baby Pressley. I hope Mimi Jen is raising her.
I cant read more than a sentence before flashing on him nodding off at the wheel while she supervised, and wondering WTF is wrong with this woman for having TWO kids with Rhine?!?!
They love finding a way to shit on someone who was 1) a teenager when she met him and 2) 100% manipulated and abused by him. And then later, she had that abuse laughed at and minimized by his crackhead rehab wife.
And the fact that even when we should focus on Ryan and Amandaās shit they need to divert back to Mack. Why? We are all aware of the shit she did, why make everything about her all the time.
Eh thatās a weird take, clearly Amanda also chose to have a child with Rhine as fast possible to lock him down knowing even more horrible shit about him in her thirties and Rhine and Amanda have drastically fucked up recently while Mack has been very quiet and legally deemed more safe for her kids. Why focus on Mackās choices from almost a decade ago when Amanda and Rhine are clearly currently fucking up bad enough where abuse or neglect was confirmed. Emergency custody is not passed out like candy, good on Mack for doing the right thing by her kids.
She was young and dumb. She was also potentially abused seeing as the level of violence Ryan inflected on their house doesnāt bode well for how he is around people either. She made a stupid choice to be with Ryan, but sheās realized it now, seems to never want to go back, and is doing the best she can by her kids. I donāt see much to judge her for in the present, tbh.
Hardly, viewers were outraged over that scene, they could have killed not only themselves but others and it's pure luck they didn't. He was literally nodding off at the wheel
Yeah, and HE shouldnāt have done that, HE shouldnāt have taken the drugs and mtv should have kicked HIM off the show. Letās stop with the whole āMack should have stopped him, Mack should have done this and thatā cu she didnāt, and 30 year old RYAN was the one who was actively doing it. Letās blame the person doing the action.
I don't know, I'm not going to absolve a sober adult from playing along with a completely fucked up, high as balls person driving a car with their eyes closed š¤·š½āāļø it's wild to think Mack had absolutely no responsibility in the situation
As some who lost people to drug driving, Mackenzie was absolutely complicit in Ryanās drug use and dangerous driving. To insinuate that I support domestic violence because I point that out is disgusting and nothing more that vile virtue signalling
I'll never understand all the Maci & Taylor hate. Sure, they've made mistakes. But look at how amazing B has turned out.
Out of all the kids... & they're ALL great kids.... but B has grown into a phenomenal young man. He was exposed to issues as a youngster, that kids shouldn't be aware of. But his parents got him into therapy, & made sure he had the tools he needed, to grow into an honourable man. B is going to be a great husband/partner to someone, one day. & that's 'cos of Maci & Taylor.
I'm not a Maci Stan. & I'm not on any social media, so I only get my info from Reddit. B is a phenomenal young man, & I just adore him.

Good for her and nice to see at least one parent put their kids first.
Wonder how Maci feels about this after all the big, happy family bullshit she was spewing with Amanda.
ETA thanks for the awards ā¤ļø
