How Larry And Jen Explained Ryan's Teen Mom OG Arrest To Bentley

There’s been a lot going on with Ryan lately on Teen Mom OG, and possibly maybe the person most confused — and most affected — by it all is his and Maci's son Bentley. On tonight’s installment, we learned through the Ryan’s parents Jen and Larry exactly what Benny was told of his father’s whereabouts and his recent legal woes and the how grandparents determined with each other that honesty was the ideal policy.


Once producer Kiki asked the Edwards to discuss Ryan’s recent arrest (he violated his parole by not doing his court-ordered community service), Jen expressed disappointment in her son.


“I wasn’t angry that he was [in jail]. I was like, 'You deserve it,'” she mentioned.


Larry had more to mention, like how the two worry about how Ryan’s actions will affect his pregnant partner Mackenzie, as well as Bentley.


“We worry about Mack. She just doesn’t need this right now,” he mentioned. “We worry about Ryan, yet we worry about Bentley too.”


from there on, Larry revealed what they told their nine-year-old grandson (off-camera) about his father.


“He asked me out there in the garage where Dad was. I knew he knew, yet I knew he required to hear it from us,” he mentioned. “I instructed him the truth, and I instructed him, ‘The very crucial thing is your daddy is still clean.’ And he began crying. I mentioned, ‘Buddy, he’s going to be okay.' He’s got us and we’re going to be fine."


Although despite his brave front with Bentley, Larry told Kiki he still has concerns.


“[Ryan's] still a grown man," he mentioned. "He still makes his own decisions. With addiction, you just never know if today’s the day.”
