MTV Denies Responsibility for Scary 'Teen Mom' Driving Incident
by EG
MTV is responding to criticism over Ryan Edwards’ impaired driving on Teen Mom OG. After the Monday, June 26, season finale showed the reality personality falling asleep at the wheel, fans wondered why the network didn’t step in.
MTV responded to the shocking footage in a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, June 28. "MTV does not condone driving under the influence. Ryan’s erratic behavior was due to actions that he took without anyone’s prior knowledge,” an MTV spokesperson said.
In the disturbing scene, Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer were heading to their wedding, and she had to continually prod him awake and take control of the steering wheel. “Why are you swerving?” she asked. Edwards seemed out of it and blamed his sleepiness on the sunlight in his eyes. She later turned off the cameras affixed inside the car. “Did you take Xanax again?" Standifer could be heard demanding. Edwards claimed he didn’t and even swore on his son Bentley’s life.
