After some ups and downs, Teen Mom OG star Mackenzie Standifer has filed for divorce from husband Ryan Edwards — 18 days after he was arrested and charged with harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and order of protection violation.
This comes after Edwards was wanted by cops for "stalking" and "violating a protective order" his wife had filed against him.
Edwards previously posted a horrible photo of the reality star in February, writing, “If you guys have never seen a spineless s*** this is one. They take your money sleep with anything that looks at them. But they must have a wife to [sic]. God what a joke. It’s sad really.”
Prior to that, he hinted something was going on between the two in January. “I trusted you but now your words mean nothing to me, because your actions spoke the truth,” a quote read. The former reality star captioned the image, saying, “Your regret is coming … good lord showed me what I need but not what I wanted [sic].”

For her part, the 27-year-old, who shares kids Jagger, 4, and Stella, 3, with Edwards, made it clear that he was violent throughout their marriage.
“Arguing, Ryan punched holes in the walls and doors. [He] held me up by my neck to the wall. Threw me down in hallway and said if he could not have me no one could,” Mackenzie said about an alleged fight from January.
“Opened pocket knife, put to my back like he was going to kill me. This was in front of children. I tried to leave, he smashed my phone, took my car keys,” she continued, adding that her coworker called the police.
