Accusations: Teen Mom OG’s Mackenzie McKee accused her husband Josh McKee of cheating on her with her own cousin, which he has denied
In the post, which was archived by E! News and The Blast, Mackenzie explained how his infidelity came to light a after she looked into his texts and call log.
Opening her post, she said: ‘I know many have it worse than me. This isn’t a pity party. Life has really thrown me some huge curve balls. Idk how I’ve made it here.
‘Obviously the world knows Josh had an affair last year, and then months later repurposed promising he changed and got ‘saved.’ It really made my mom happy and I chose to forgive, and trust God.’
But he began to act coldly as Mackenzie tries to cope with the death of her mom Angie Douthit last December.
‘Then in December I was already in deep pain and had to watch her take her last breath and Josh was there for me until 2 weeks later things changed. All of a sudden I was a freak for crying and being depressed,’ she went on.

Terrible timing: Apparently Josh began to step out right around the time that Mackenzie lost her mother from cancer, above
‘I would lay in bed and wonder why I was so crazy because that’s what he made me feel like. And then life slowly turned into him working all day, coming home to shower and fishing all night,’ she said.
‘Again, I wondered “What is wrong with me? I need him here to hold me together,” but [I] just gave him grace and knew he didn’t know how to handle it.’
Still, she had a gut feeling.
‘So I made the random decision to pull Josh’s call and text logs. To find out that one week after my mom died, when he started leaving and changing his behavior, to find he was texting a woman 3-600 times per month and calling her on these nights he was “fishing” until 3 a.m.’
But it got worse when she called the number.
‘Obviously another affair. So, I go to call the number and it was my close cousin.’
‘What all went on? Idk. My family will never be the same and we are all torn. I WAS NOT only hurt by him, but by her.’

Done: ‘Today is the day I walk away. Pray for me, that I can function, feel worthy again and find hope. Pray for my kids, I always wanted my family to work so they don’t have to live in two different houses. I was 100% committed to Josh and so much I don’t understand,’ she wrote
‘I have cried until my eyes were swollen shut. I am in utter shock. I’m now opening my eyes to what a horrible man Josh has been. He has been a lie and how can you watch your wife lose her mom and make these decisions,’ she continued. ‘I’m sad for my kids, I love Jesus and I loved my family. People have tried to tell me for year[s] Josh doesn’t love me and I just made excuses for him.’
It was officially over for Mackenzie.
‘Today is the day I walk away. Pray for me, that I can function, feel worthy again and find hope. Pray for my kids, I always wanted my family to work so they don’t have to live in two different houses. I was 100% committed to Josh and so much I don’t understand,’ she continued.
She confirmed the news again on Twitter, tweeting an article titled: ‘Mackenzie McKee: I Caught My Husband Banging My Cousin! Our Marriage is OVER!’ and adding ‘It’s true’ with a broken heart emoji.
Mackenzie has since edited all her social media bios to have her maiden name and referred to herself as a ‘single mom’ in her Twitter information.

His story: He told people they had in all wrong in an Instagram comment shared below a vague text post
Josh defended himself on Instagram following the post, sharing an image with text that read: ‘Better worry about your own sins, cause God ain’t gonna ask you about mine,’ and adding the snarky caption: ‘I’m just here for the comments.’
Then he offered more details in the comments, writing: ‘People, I’ve been through the ringer being on that damn show, this is nothing new to me.
‘I get it you all are pissed at the fact of what you read on the internet or seen on TV. Ok? But if you are going to come at me with what little you all really know, know your damn facts! And know that this is not a one sided ballgame.’
This is not the first time the couple have had trouble. In August 2019, Mackenzie announced that she was taking some time apart from her husband, but they later reconciled.
Mackenzie and Josh have three children together: Broncs, three, Gannon, eight, and Jaxie, six. They married in 2013 after dating for four years.
