Teen Mom OG star Mackenzie McKee left out of spinoff shows
With the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated spinoff shows came plenty of hype along with promo clips and pics from the network.
Teen Mom Fanz on Instagram recently shared a promo pic from Teen Mom: Girls’ Night In, depicting Teen Mom OG castmates Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Catelynn Baltierra, and Cheyenne Floyd.
Mackenzie’s absence in the pic caught the attention of Teen Mom OG fans and they showed up in the comments to voice their distaste with MTV for continuing to allow Amber to film but excluding Mackenzie.

Mackenzie’s supporters blasted MTV, with one of her fans writing, “Why are they doing this? I’m confused why amber is there and not her ?♀️.”
Another asked, “Can we switch that to Amber?!”
“Amber is a repeat abuser and still allowed ??,” lamented another of Amber’s critics.
Another one of Mackenzie’s supporters commented, “Exactly. It’s giving real mean girl vibes from everyone. Just need to go ahead and release her. And the fact Amber whom is a repeat domestic violence abuser who doesn’t even have custody of her children is still able to be on the show is beyond me.”
Amber has a history of drug and domestic abuse that has led to her serving time in prison and losing custody of her kids, Leah and James.
Teen Mom OG fans have called for Amber to be booted from the franchise because of her abusive history and don’t understand why MTV would allow her to continue filming but leave Mackenzie out.
Mackenzie claimed she wasn’t even told about the spinoff shows, saying that MTV told her they weren’t filming them.
Mackenzie responded to a curious fan who noticed she was absent from promo pics and videos.
“I was told the show wasn’t even happening ?,” Mackenzie explained to her fans. “but life is good. What’s meant to be will be.”
Teen Mom: Family Reunion premieres on Tuesday, January 11 at 8/7c on MTV followed by Teen Mom: Girls’ Night In at 9/8c.

You need to bring Mckenzie back not someone who don’t even have her child…disgraceful for MTV
Half these ‘women’ act like spoiled brats. Cheyenne wasn’t even a teen mom. Not sure why we have to look at her face & hear her holier than thou attitude.
Everyone wants Amber off the show..I don’t understand why. This show is about what teens and single mothers go through as mothers. Unfortunately there is alot of woman that is in Amber’s shoes. Amber needs to stay on there and show woman they are not the only ones who don’t have custody of their children. If anyone needs to be taken off you already know…Farrah!
i thought mtv and teen mom should have never let amber portwood back on the because of her abusive past she had that was diplayed on tv i mean woh wants to see that a mother being arrested for hitting her oldest childs dad her contract and briana should have never been renewed as well as cheyennes and ashleys that way not a good idea for the veiwers to see that
