Ryan Edwards Arrested For Stalking Amid Divorce Drama

The former MTV star was arrested for stalking and for violating an order of protection, according to a press release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.

Ryan Edwards’ latest run-in with the law came in the wake of his wife, Mackenzie, filing for divorce. The 26-year-old officially filed for divorce from her husband on Monday, per a report by Us Weekly. Mackenzie, who shares two children with Ryan, was also granted a restraining order and temporary custody of the kids.

Ryan, 35, was arrested last month after breaking a protection order that Mackenzie obtained after her husband accused her of infidelity and posted risqué photos of her on the internet.

The press release stated that the troubled reality TV personality violated the order by speaking to his father-in-law. Authorities also acted on an active warrant for harassment, with his wife listed as the victim. Ryan was arrested at his workplace, where it was discovered that he was “in possession of drug paraphernalia and two bags of suspected narcotics”

Ryan was booked on harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and the order of protection violation.

Viewers watched Ryan and Mackenzie’s relationship play out on MTV series, Teen Mom OG. The couple met at a Chattanooga gym, got engaged in 2016 and wed five months later, in 2017. MTV sparked controversy when cameras followed Ryan as he drove the duo to their wedding ceremony in a seemingly altered state.

Ryan and Mackenzie are parents to two children, Jagger, who was born in 2018 and Stella, whom they welcomed in 2020. Ryan also shares a 14-year-old son, Bentley, with Teen Mom star, Maci Bookout. The exes share a tumultuous relationship and have struggled to co-parent for years, amid Ryan’s ongoing issues with substance abuse. 

“He’s only seen him a couple of times this year,” Maci told Us Weekly of her son’s rocky relationship with his dad. “To be quite honest, Ryan doesn’t show up to any baseball games or anything like that. It’s not shocking that he doesn’t see him that much.”

Maci went on to marry current husband, Taylor McKinney, and have two more children, daughter, Jayde, 7, and 6-year-old son, Maverick. The couple was granted a 2-year restraining order in 2018, after Ryan allegedly sent threatening messages.

Mackenzie, Ryan and his parents, Jen and Larry Edwards, were all let go from Teen Mom OG, in March 2021. Mackenzie later accused Maci of getting the group booted from the series.
