Apparently all of Instagram has a degree in obstetrics now
Another Teen Mom baby on the way? That’s what Instagram seems to think. Teen Mom 3 Mackenzie McKee posted a new photo that has kicked the rumor mill into high gear. Despite the fact that the star just gave birth to baby number three and has said that she is done having kids, her followers on Instagram aren’t buying it. They claim that McKee’s recent post is proof that she’s expecting again.
Mackenzie has some words for them.
Keeping Relevant
Mackenzie McKee never quite reached the highest levels of Teen Mom stardom as she only appeared on the short-lived third iteration of the franchise. However, that doesn’t mean that she’s faded from the spotlight.
After the cancellation of Teen Mom 3 just months after it premiered in 2013, McKee has made it a point to keep relevant on social media… And she’s done a pretty good job of it.
A Big Following
McKee has racked up quite a following on her pages over the years. Her social media success can surely be attributed (at least in part) to her YouTube workout videos and her career as a fitness model, but—let’s be real—a lot of that success is thanks to her steady stream of gaffs and drama. Like, no shade to Mackenzie, but she pops up in headlines a lot for someone who isn’t currently on TV, and it’s rarely flattering.
Scandals on Scandals...
There was her recent (and debunked) cheating scandal. There were the subsequent divorce rumors (also debunked). There was the “dead puppy kiss” snafu over on her Snapchat—which I realize I can’t not explain so, in short, she shared a video of her young son kissing a dead puppy to the shock and outrage of people everywhere. and then, there was her breastfeeding Snapchat (which raised eyebrows, but shouldn’t have).
The most recent one?
Let us not forget, there was her Teen Mom 2 snub and ill-will towards former co-star Briana DeJesus for getting the gig over her. Mackenzie denied that she was ever mad about the snub or ever said anything about it... despite the fact that she definitely talked about it all in an interview to Radar Online.
But, I’ll stop there. A new rumor is going around, saying that Mackenzie is pregnant again… And it’s all based on what? A picture taken from a slightly awkward angle.
In Fairness
Yes, that’s right—Teen Mom 3’s most socially active star is once again learning the hard way that if you post it, they will talk.
Though, I can’t blame her. I don’t think anyone could have anticipated the gossip that this innocent picture of Mackenzie and her husband, Josh, would spawn.
The Big Reveal?
Fans started speculating about Mackenzie’s womb immediately after the picture went up. Seriously, the fifth comment on the photo says: "I see a belly!" It just spun out from there. The comment box is checkered with fans arguing back and forth about whether she’s expecting or not.
Not So Much
All of this ... despite the fact that Mackenzie jumped into the conversation super early to shut the rumor down.
"This photo was takin last night. I'm at my smallest Weight, and for sure not pregnant. I hope I never tell someone who is not pregnant they are pregnant #justwow," she wrote in the comments. She then took to Twitter to express a similar sentiment, though with a little more humor.
Taking It in Stride
“Thank you Instagram for informing me I'm pregnant with baby number 4... we are so excited,” the star wrote.
Yet and still ... people are still saying that she’s probably pregnant; all because her shirt was folded in a weird way in that one picture.
It’s nuts!
Wow, Instagram
So, here’s what I will say:
Mackenzie has denied baby number four.
It was a weirdly folded shirt or strange shadow, as far as anyone knows.
And, finally, was everyone on Instagram raised by wolves? Didn’t anyone ever tell them that you never ask a woman if she’s pregnant — especially if it’s not totally obvious?
Seriously. Rude.
