Teen Mom Mackenzie McKee reveals why she was REALLY fired from show and snubbed from new spinoff
TEEN Mom Mackenzie McKee has blasted MTV producers in a scathing social media rant as the spinoff series begins filming without the former star.
The 27-year-old had starred in the long-running series on and off since 2011 but was not asked to return for the new season.
Mackenzie has made it clear that the decision was not mutual as she slammed producers in a series of tweets.
"I'm an hour away and they act like I don't even exist and can't explain to my lawyer why. So that stings," she tweeted with a couple of crying face emojis, seemingly in response to her ex-co-stars currently filming the spinoff series.
One fan replied to her tweet explaining their theory as to why the Teen Mom OG alum was axed from the reality show.
"I think they let you go because of the comment you made about harris. Morgan is a Harris lover. (Sadly) It does suck though. Everyone loves you.." they wrote, referring to her past comment where she called Vice President Kamala Harris a "colored woman."

Mackenzie responded with her take: "They filmed 2 entire seasons after that with me. If that was the case, all they have to do is call me or my manager and explain. I would respect that."
She continued: "Instead it was 'let's lie and let her find out from her co-stars' on the Internet. Who cares about how bad that hurts."
Recently, fellow Teen Mom star Catelynn Lowell, 30, posted snapshots from her "girls' trip" on .
She posed with Jade Cline, 25, Briana DeJesus, 28, and Maci Bookout, 30, while they were in the woods.

In another photo, the MTV star also had "lots of fun" with Amber Portwood, 32, and Leah Messer, 29.
The TV personalities might have been filming for the new reality show together.
The network recently confirmed the combination of two shows with the working title: Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.
The press release from the network stated: “The casts of ‘Teen Mom OG’ and ‘Teen Mom 2’ are each currently in different stages of motherhood – some have kids in diapers, while others are now parenting teenagers!
"But they all share the unique experience of Momming so young."
The statement concluded: “For the first time, the moms and all their stories will be brought together in one supersized series that focuses on the unique bond this ‘Mom Group’ shares, as they face the reality of parenthood and adulting while entering this next phase of life together.”
'NO MORE RESPECT'
In February, Mackenzie spoke exclusively to The Sun about whether or not she would be back on Teen Mom.
She revealed to The Sun that she was not asked to film for the next season but has been "praying on" if she should.
Mackenzie 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."
She was previously snubbed from the spinoff: Family Reunion.
The Body By Mac owner opened up: "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 young mom shares kids Gannon, 10; Jaxie, eight; and Broncs, five, with her husband Josh, who has been accused of cheating in their marriage.
FEUDING CO-STARS
The snub came amid Mackenzie's feud with her co-star Cheyenne Floyd, 29, who slammed her for being "ignorant" by using a racial slur on social media.
The confrontation began after Mackenzie made a controversial remark on her Facebook page.
She wrote: "Sorry, no. There are a lot of amazing women in the world for my daughters to look up to and see as role models. Kamala Harris is not one of them.
"It blows my mind that out of all the amazing colored women in this world, that is the one who is making history.”
While Teen Mom viewers ripped Mackenzie for the comment, turned to Twitter to encourage her followers to “educate.”

She also lashed out at her former co-star, calling Mackenzie's comments "extremely naïve."
Mackenzie has since apologized for her remarks, though it is unclear if they are why she was fired from the show.
