Teen Mom star Maci Bookout is no cheater.
In the new issue of Us Weekly, Bookout, 19, slams the claims of Ryan Edwards, her ex and father to her son Bentley, 23 months; Edwards, 22, recently told a tabloid that during their relationship, Bookout cheated on him with Kyle King, her current beau.

"He can say what he wants," Bookout tells Us of the accusation. "I'm not going to pay attention to things that aren't true."
Also untrue? Another report claiming she dumped King, 22, in order to reunite with Edwards. To the contrary, she and King are "really good," she tells Us -- and she and Bentley have permanently relocated to his hometown of Nashville, Tenn. to stay close.

"It feels right," she says of the move. "[Kyle and I] work because, before anything, we're best friends."
As for Bentley's dad, despite his accusations, things aren't all bad. After Edwards threatened to sue for custody of Bentley, arrangements are now "under control," Bookout says.

Those episodes of Teen Mom were done during the spring, they may have gotten back together now.
Who cares....not I!!!
Samona makes all Caucasian girls look bad. You're an idiot. We are all beautiful, no matter our race, we are all human.
SAMONA PEARL I think you are a VERY STUPID IGNORANT RACIST PEACE OF TRASH THAT HAS NO CLASS OR EDUCATION & REALLT NEEDS TO COME FROMWHAT EVER ROCK YOURE LIVING UNDER, I NOW I'M A BEAUTIFUL BLAK WOMAN THAT LIVES IN A WORLD OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE REGARDLESS TO COLOR SIZE OR SHAPE
Now...onto the issue at hand. Please. Does anyone believe anything that comes out of that moron Ryan's mouth? That POS actually had the nerve to call Maci 'lazy' last season...she works, goes to school and is a full time mother...and a good one at that. What does Ryan do? Zilch. Lays on his lazy a$$ ALL day while mommy and daddy support him and pay for Bentley's things. Ryan, you're hardly credible. Go away. The best thing you could do is sign away your rights to Bentley. Because you're a horrendous parent.
Courtney, Amanda, etc...I'm going to attempt a few words of wisdom since you guys look very young and I'm an old fart at 39. Try not to let dumba$$es comments about race/prettier girls, etc. bother you. You know there's ALWAYS an idiot on message boards who likes to stir things up and piss people off...just have to somehow ignore it and try not to let it bother you.
I agree with Courtney. That previous comment was way out of line and based purely on ignorance. Comments like that is how hate is bred and passed down the generation line. This show and their choice of girls has nothing to do with race. If you look at each situation and compare, they are all 4 completely different and dealing with drastically different situations which is the whole point for the show. I never comment on these stories, but your comment Somona needed addressing and was just shockingly appalling. You ought to be ashamed.
Luv the show! I don't believe the have the money struggles they pretend to have now that they are on TV and doing photo shoots, but that's my only issue. Regarding the previous comments...whoa did someone just make a general statement that all white girls are prettier than all black girls. That is a ballsy comment and so far from the truth it doesn't warrant an argument. BTW...sensing that you think you are pretty and classy, just an FYI..."ALOT more prettier" is inproper, uneducated, and a definitely lack of class way to us English. I work in corrections and see womean of all races, colors and creeds with no tact, class, or attractiveness everyday so get a clue!
this show is so dumb
Whoa whoa whoa! Slam on the breaks! Somona Pearl...white girls are NOT more classier than black girls. Your ignorant comment just proved that point! Everyone has their moments but no race is more or less valuable than the other! Geesh...
i just got done watching recent episode of teen mom n her and kyle just broke up
This discussion does not even make sense. Why does race have to play a role in it?, these comments are ridiculous.
It's pretty pathetic when people find the need to comment on the looks of someone they don't even know. Way to insult someone that has never done anything to effect your life...must be nice to be perfect.
This has nothing to do with race. Why does everyone try to make everything about it???
Who really cares! She is ugly! Her man can get better!!!
oh please quatonia, don't be a hater just cuz white girls are more sophisticated & classier than black girls. and you're right, knocked up white girls are more 'saleable' than black as we have more to offer & are ALOT more prettier
yeah, and im sick of anytime there is a group of white people in the spotlight, someone always has to make black people out to be some sort of victim or something. it must be a pretty sad life when all you can look at is race.
