MACK SACKED?
Mackenzie previously revealed if she had been fired from the franchise after her "hurtful" Family Reunion spinoff snub.
🍼 Follow all our latest news & stories on Teen Mom.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Mackenzie opened up about settling into her new life in Florida as she takes over the tanning salon.
The Body By Mac owner revealed to The Sun that she hasn't been asked to film for the next season of Teen Mom OG yet, and she has been "praying on" if she should.
The reality star said: "MTV was there when my first child was born and they were a huge part of my mom. They always respected my mom and my mom always loved them."
Mackenzie's mother Angie, 50, lost her battle to stage four brain cancer in December 2019.
The star expressed her feelings about the television network after they snubbed her from filming the franchise spinoff Family Reunion.
'BROKE ME'
Mackenzie said: "It hurt and broke me how my mom gave them the last breath of her life, yet after I had opened up my life to them, when my voice didn't sound like theirs, there was no more respect for me."
The TV star, who has been a part of the franchise since its roots on 16 & Pregnant, continued: "I never thought two years after her death I'd be bawling about why MTV is doing this to me."
Despite being with MTV for it all, the network did not invite Mackenzie to film on their most recent reboot Family Reunion.
According to Mackenzie, MTV "lied" to her to keep her off the franchise's spin-off.
Mackenzie claimed: "It's the lies I'm upset about. It's not being a part of the group that I'm upset about, which is why I've kept my mouth shut because I don't want people to be like, 'Oh, she's just jealous.'"
She continued to explain: "I was disappointed they told me it was a few select people from each show and that it had nothing to do with one being left out, which is not true."
All of the Moms across Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 were all included on the show.
Mackenzie continued: "I'm so confused. I was the only one not invited and they refused to say that out loud. But it's fine, I'm over it.
"I'm not going to be petty like that."
Mackenzie commented on being ditched from being a part of the cast: "I don't understand. This show was about people who have problems with each other and people who need therapy, and I'm the one who had a dead mom.
"MTV tries to cover a girls' storyline about mental health, but they really don't care about you."
FEUD!
The snub comes amid her nasty feud with her co-star Cheyenne Floyd, 29.
Cheyenne accused Mackenzie of "bullying" her and slammed her as "ignorant" for using a racial slur on Twitter.
As for rejoining in a future season or spin-off, Mackenzie says it's something she is "praying on" if she should.
She said: "The show is obviously coming to an end with us not being teenagers anymore and you never know when the last season is going to be."
MACK ATTACKED
The firing rumors come amid Mackenzie's feud with her Teen Mom co-stars that left her "shocked and humiliated."
The nasty feud began when a co-star accused Mackenzie of "bullying" her and slammed her as "ignorant" for using a racial slur on social media.
Mackenzie revealed: "I'm so confused that MTV was upset when I just said sorry to someone to try and unite."
The Teen Mom continued: "I was definitely confused and heartbroken and my eyes were opened up to what's going on with the world with cancel culture.
"It was shocking, humiliating and embarrassing."
Mackenzie elaborated: "I'm disappointed I'm known as the one left out when other girls are sharing clickbait about each other, and that's so toxic."
As for a truce with her co-stars, Mackenzie said: "I don't have a problem with anyone, but someone has a problem with me.
"It's very obvious they wanted to shut me up and not have me talk."
Mackenzie continued: "She doesn't want things to be okay."
She said: "I've tried and would love to see unity, but I don't think anyone wants that. I want love, and I said sorry, and it just crashed and burned, and I looked up to every single one of them."
Former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans demanded other moms "leave Mackenzie alone" as Maci Bookout slammed how Mackenzie treated others.
Mackenzie said: "The rest [of the Moms] have spoken to me, although it's not popular to like me in the public eye, so they're not going to support me."
She confessed: "The other girls hate me when I have said sorry over, and over, and over again. It's like saying sorry is the worst thing I could have done."
THANKFUL FOR JOSH
As Mackenzie is starting this new business, she is still juggling settling into their new Florida home, parenting her three children and maintaining Body by Mac.
She said: "I get stressed and start crying at the end of the day saying I'm overworked."
However, she also remarked she couldn't do it without a support system.
Mackenzie commented: "Josh is a really great stay-at-home dad.
"We do really well working together and that was a 10-year process to even get to that stage with all of the fighting."
She continued: "While filming [Teen Mom], we couldn't get away from 'my marriage is bad' and that's harmful.
"Our kids were watching on TV that the marriage is bad, but in real life, we're having a blast."
Mackenzie concluded: "Josh and I worked hard to get where we are today and we're best friends."
Josh signed on to be the co-manager of Beautifully Bronzed Sarasota with Mackenzie, as he still maintains his construction business.
