Yesterday Mackenzie tweeted: “Go out, see more, be open-minded, get uncomfortable, and live…. life is short”
Over the weekend, Mackenzie also tweeted: “Every single day. I do not stand for racism and Never have. I’ve learned so much and every one of us needs to open our eyes. I’m truly sorry for what I once said. I love you all and if my mom was here, she would have 100% wanted me to take accountability and do what’s right.”
She went on: “I’m sorry for how I am about to be portrayed on this Tuesday’s episode. It does fit the agenda but it does not fit my heart and who I am. For 3 weeks I was bullied into not being able to say a true apology from my heart on my platform (which was the right thing to do).”
As Mackenzie seems embroiled in the controversy, Cheyenne appears unbothered as she got engaged over the weekend.
Yesterday Mackenzie said in a since-deleted Instagram live video: “My mouth has been forced shut for a long time and I feel like I deserve to get to use my voice.
She explained: “Cheyenne tweeted that I’m ignorant. I would’ve gone live with her, I would’ve gone on her podcast. I talked to Cheyenne, and I thought things were going to be amazing, but it was just a downward spiral from there.
“I’m still confused why I can’t get on and stay sorry from my heart. We need to get rid of racism and racial injustice, but I’m not racist. Cancel culture is too big, we’re canceling people left and right… But if she wants to hate me, she can. I said something ignorant.”
The Oklahoma native then said of her Teen Mom co-star: “I told Cheyenne, ‘I love you.’ And her message back was ‘I have no sympathy for you. Welcome to day 1 of being uncomfortable because of the color of your skin.’
“So if she hates me, that’s fine. That’s fine because I said something ignorant, but I messaged and told her that I love her. I said ‘I love you, I want to hold your hand and do this together with you.’ But she decided right then and there she’s done with me. Cut me off.”
In January, Teen Mom OG labeled Mackenzie racist after she called Kamala a “colored” woman.
The mom wrote on her Facebook page: “Sorry, no. There are a lot of amazing women in the world for my daughters to look up to and see as role models. Kamala Harris is not one of them.
“It blows my mind that out of all the amazing colored women in this world, that is the one who is making history.”

While Teen Mom viewers ripped Mackenzie for the comment, her co-star Cheyenne, 28, turned to Twitter to encourage her followers to “educate.”
She tweeted: “It’s time to have a conversation, a form, something to educate and enlighten because the ignorance is pervasive.”
Mackenzie apologized for the comments after receiving backlash from fans.
She tweeted: “Growth is being called out and learning from my mistake, even if I meant no harm versus making excuses for myself and justifying it. I’m thankful for being called out so I can learn, grow, do and be better…”
