‘Teen Mom OG’ Maci Bookout Accused Of Drinking While Pregnant


Maci Bookout announced she was expecting her third child weeks ago, and already, the Teen Mom OG star is facing controversy. In addition to many fans being disappointed that Maci Bookout didn’t wait until she was married to welcome her third child, the longtime reality star has been accused of drinking while pregnant more than once.

According to a report by Radar Online on February 25, fans have been slamming Maci Bookout online after Monday night’s new episode of Teen Mom OG featured her chugging a beer.

Rumors of Maci Bookout’s potential alcohol consumption during pregnancy was first speculated upon when fans noticed that she had a beer in her hand just seven weeks ago on Instagram. Although Maci Bookout claims she didn’t find out about her pregnancy until two days after she announced her engagement in January, many of her fans and followers have had a hard time believing that someone who was four months pregnant at the time Monday night’s episode was shot would be unaware of their pregnancy. In addition, Maci Bookout was reportedly sporting a slight baby bump at the time.

Below are some of the comments sent to Maci Bookout after the episode aired.

“Every scene of [Maci Bookout] shows her drinking beer and she knows damn well she’s pregnant.”

“You are so busted on the episode around Christmas you were drinking a beer at the restaurant!”

“There is no way someone that tiny didn’t know!!!”

“There’s no way being 4 months at the time you wouldn’t know being pregnant in this episode.”

Maci Bookout declined to comment on Radar Online’s story and has yet to publicly address the controversy.

Maci Bookout began dating Taylor McKinney about three years ago, and after welcoming their first child, daughter Jayde Carter McKinney in May of last year, they will welcome their second child, a baby boy, in May of this year, which means Maci Bookout could have two children under the age of 1 at the very same time. Although Maci Bookout’s baby boy is due one day after Jayde’s birthday, there’s always a possibility of an early birth, especially considering that’s what happened last time around.

After announcing her pregnancy, Maci Bookout spoke to Us Weekly about how she and McKinney learned their second child was on the way.

“I was at the doctor, ironically, to get my birth control prescription refilled,” Maci Bookout told the magazine.

After she was informed that she was pregnant, Maci Bookout was said to be completely confused, but eventually, she came to terms with the idea, and she and her family appear to be excited about their upcoming addition.

“It’s very possible we’ll have two under the age of 1,” the reality star continued. “They’ll definitely be Irish twins! [Bentley]’s really excited to have a little brother, but he thinks it’s hilarious that Jayde’s going to be a big sister because she’s so little!”

As for her future, Maci Bookout confirmed she’ll be done having children after her third baby arrives.

“There are going to be some permanent birth control decisions made immediately after the birth,” Maci Bookout vowed. “But it’s definitely a bonus to have it kind of done and out of the way. It’s done and we’re good to go!”
