Teen Mom OG Reunion: Should Maci And Ryan Hash Out Their Differences On Camera?

At the last Teen Mom OG reunion, Maci and Ryan did not appear with each other because Bentley's father was at a treatment center. And while in tonight's concluding special, the exes' streak of not sharing the stage was unbroken -- except this time, it was by choice.


"I'm not going out there with her," Ryan -- who'd just completed his sit-down with Mackenzie and Dr. Drew -- told executive producer Larry. "Last time I had a conversation with her, I got irritated, and I'm already angry anyways."


Soon, the MTV host joined the conversation -- and recalled a similar scenario with Bentley's parents that took place a few many years back.


"I'm not going to get myself angry. I'm just not going to do it," Ryan explained.


Then Mackenzie intervened and claimed that Maci "lied onstage" to Dr. Drew about text messages (and how Ryan didn't respond).


Efforts to persuade Ryan were unsuccessful (for right now. Meanwhile, in another area backstage, executive producer Dia was with Maci and Taylor -- and Maci proposed her version of the events.


"It's like he sends all these text messages and he claims I don't answer them," she revealed off-camera (while her microphone was still capturing the chat). "Well, he can ask me out there."


Maci continued: "The reason that each person around him thinks that there's no answer is because he deletes them."


Yet Ryan's mom Jen had a different theory, which she explained in front of Ryan, Mackenzie and the rest of the MTV crew.


"I think there is a lot that goes on between Maci and Ryan that nobody is aware about," Jen stated.


And with that, tonight's installment ended with a "to be continued" message. However should the exes share the reunion stage, and can Dr. Drew help them hash out their contradictions? Maci and Ryan clashed while in this season, with both sides distributing different tales of what was happening with their co-parenting efforts.
