Unfortunately for many celebrities, the hard truth of being famous is that you and your loved ones can easily become targets.
For the Teen Mom cast, this means not only protecting themselves, but also their very young children from attacks.
Although being famous comes with certain perks, there are plenty of downsides to being in the public eye. Unfortunately, the Teen Mom cast are no strangers to the dark side of fame.
From being essentially bullied by trolls to having fans show up at their house, they've opened up about the worst parts of being famous. Now, Teen Mom OG star Mackenzie McKee is sharing how her children have suffered.
She shared that her children have been regularly attacked by her instagram followers.
"From here on, any photo I post of my children I will be turning off commenting," she shared in an Instagram story.
"I am so sad that adults comment hateful stuff about children," she wrote.
Mackenzie added, "Talk about me all you want. But please, refrain from saying anything negative about my kids or be blocked."
She signed off with, "God bless."
It obviously took a lot for Mackenzie to get to this point, and many people on reddit sounded off with support.
"There were a ton of comments saying it was a terrible haircut and the kid looked sick, like he had cancer. In my opinion, since she recently lost her mom to cancer, those comments are in terribly poor taste," pointed out user yaycristy.
User Marianne0819 wrote, "It’s a sad world that we live in. To have such vitriol against children. Seriously what kind of people does that take? How were they raised? I feel over the last 3 1/2 years people feel that it’s ok to say whatever is on your mind, never mind those that you may hurt in the process."

Even though Mackenzie McKee is currently going through a cheating scandal, she's also facing a new tragedy: her new dog has passed away!
Mackenzie might have a less than idea track record with dogs, but she recently got a new Pomeranian for her children. The little pup, Annie, provided countless adorable Instagram updates over the months, but then tragedy struck.
According to TV Shows Ace, Mackenzie shared on Snapchat that little Annie had passed.
Mackenzie reportedly placed the blame on the store where she purchased Annie.
She claims that she was sold a dog that had a "cracked skull.
“So what I think happened is they sold us a dog with a cracked skull and she maybe bumped into the couch and passed away," Mackenzie shared in the video.
“Mackenzie bought Annie in early September, and Angie passed away in December, which would mean that they had Annie for more than three months," notes Starcasm.
This news comes after Mackenzie decided to rehome her dog, Hank, after she caught controversy about his living situation.
"And I don’t feel bad! I don’t feel bad for making this decision as a dog owner, even though I cried and cried…I’m not sorry, for whoever’s gonna come my way for making this decision as a dog owner to put him in a healthier, happier environment. I’m not sad about it!" Mackenzie shared at the time.
Meanwhile, she's still facing down a her husband's cheating scandal and a potential divorce.
