The argument
The Ashley's Reality Roundup exclusively reported the bust-up last month.

A production source told the outlet, 'You could cut the tension with a knife when they were all sitting out there.'
'But everything was OK until the very end of the segment.'
Another insider said Jen kept asking Maci what was wrong because she was acting so angry and distant.

'Maci kept giving vague answers and was making it clear she was upset but would not say why.'
The row kicked off when Taylor got involved and, 'exploded,' on Jen and Larry.
'He told them Ryan is a, 'piece of s**t,' and that he, unlike Ryan, has been there for Bentley for a long time.'

The source continued, 'He told Larry and Jen that Ryan should be more like he is.'
'[Taylor] kind of got up and eventually asked Larry if he wanted to take things outside.'
'It didn’t get that far, though. Nothing got physical.'

Mackenzie said they were however, told that if they're stuck for content on the show, they'll get them back.
Her husband Ryan however, advised them not to call again.
"[He] was just like, 'Don't. We're gonna move on. We're gonna live our lives.'"

"'We're gonna do our jobs and, you know, have a normal life. Like don't waste your time or your breath coming back.'"
Mackenzie said she spoke to two Teen Mom OG producers who said they could, "read between the lines here."
"This was more of an anger thing... and a retaliation type deal over Jen and Larry and Taylor getting into it."

She continued, "It's more of like an angry, I'm gonna show you who's boss type deal."
"The truth in the matter is [Maci] calls the shots here, this is her show you know. It is what it is, it's fine."
