Mackenzie McKee Douthit‘s marriage has once again hit the skids and, once again, it’s due to her husband Josh‘s alleged infidelity.
The Teen Mom OG star— who is currently using her maiden name “Douthit” on social media— posted a long message to her private Facebook earlier this week, detailing how she discovered that her husband of seven years was having another affair, this time allegedly with one of Mackenzie’s close cousins.
In the since-deleted post, which Mackenzie begins by stating “this isn’t a pity party,” she describes how she forgave Josh for having an affair last year. (The aftermath of that affair— which happened ’round back of the Texas bar Billy Bob’s with a random girl— is currently playing out on ‘Teen Mom OG.’) After admitting his infidelity to Mack, Josh proposed to her again and became a born-again Christian, much to Mackenzie and her mother Angie‘s delight.
“Obviously the world knows Josh had an affair last year, and then months later repurposed, promising he changed and got “saved,” Mackenzie wrote. “It really made my mom happy, and I chose to forgive and trust God. She was so proud of him…”
(Mackenzie’s mother Angie died in December 2019 after a battle with cancer.)
Mackenzie went on to detail how Josh was not supportive of her while she was grieving the loss of her mom, often making her feel “crazy.”
“And then life slowly turned into him working all day, coming home to shower and fishing all night.”
While the couple has remained in a state of limbo over the last few months, Mackenzie wrote that everything came to a head this week when she discovered Josh had allegedly been cheating on her again, with this affair dating back to December— the same month Angie died.
“So yesterday I made the random decision to pull Josh’s call and texts logs,” Mackenzie wrote. “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.
“Obviously [he was having] another affair. So I go to call the number and it was my close cousin Ashley.”
Mackenzie said that the affair has torn her family apart.
“What all went on? IDK,” she wrote. “My family will never be the same and we are all torn. I was not only hurt by him but by her.”
Mackenzie then went on to state that she is now realizing “what a horrible man Josh has been.”
“He has been a lie,” she wrote. “How can you watch your wife lose her mom and make these decisions? I’m sad for my kids. I love Jesus and I loved my family. People have tried to tell me for year(s) that Josh doesn’t love me but I just made excuses for him.”
Mackenzie vowed to leave Josh and the toxic relationship behind.
“Today is the day I walk away,” she wrote. “Pray for me, that I can function, feel worthy again and find hope…I was 100 percent committed to Josh and [there’s] so much I don’t understand…”
The Ashley had seen the screenshots of the deleted post floating around, but was waiting to post about it until Mackenzie confirmed that it was legit. On Wednesday, she posted a link to a story about the affair, along with confirmation.
“It’s true,” she wrote.
(She even turned it into a clickbait “swipe up” opportunity…)
She then began responding to fans’ comments about Josh on Twitter.
“Does Josh talk?” one person asked her. “He just sits there and mumbles once in a while. Mackenzie seems pretty mature, why is she with this loser? U can do much better!”
“I 100% agree,” Mackenzie replied.
“10 years of my life….. literally. Nothing to him,” she told another person.
“Mackenzie & her ‘husband’ has the weirdest relationship they act like friends,” one fan wrote.
“Literally all that we are. No love here sis,” Mack replied.
Mackenzie also deleted nearly all photos of Josh from her Instagram account. (Mackenzie is still very present on Josh’s Instagram account, as of press time.)
He has yet to make any sort of public statement.
As for the cousin that Mackenzie identified in her post, her Instagram is currently set to private and (surprise, surprise) she is still being followed at press time by Josh. (Mackenzie no longer follows her.)
The Ashley has reached out to Mackenzie for comment but has not yet heard back.
Stay tuned…

When my ex told me i was the only woman in his life i believed him with lots of trust,but when i caught him having affair with my sister, i stopped believing people by mare promises.i was totally faithful to him and committed to our relationship.Things became odd when i noticed unusual changes in his character,i confided in my sister whom i never knew was sharing the same man with me..All thanks to ‘hackingloop6@ gmail . com’ for their investigative and hacking service that helped me gain access to all my husband’s phone activities remotely,the feeling was so painful though,but better to live without the fear of waking up everyday and looking on the face that constantly lies to you without remorse. i was hurt but am far much better without them.
“Reproposed”.
She’s given him way too many chances.
Be done, move on.
So immature. This garbage drama really needs to be yanked from TV.
Beyond the clickbait and everything else, tf Josh is truly a “serial” cheater and now extending the cheating to Mack’s family members, the best thing to do is end this marriage. I say this because I really don’t see things getting any “better” from this point on. Especially as far as the kids are concerned.
They probably already know more than any of us actually think they know anyway.
Kids. Are. Smart.
The way Mackenzie constantly nags and pleads with Josh, I am not surprised he has cheated yet again. It’s obvious the relationship is not going to work out. Sure, Josh is a real jerk but Mackenzie needs to realize that she isn’t going to change him by nagging all the time.
If true, this is horrible, but I have to say it…. She didn’t know “close” cousin Ashley’s phone number? Sus
That’s why I side-eye every “scandal” these two have had. It always seems contrived.
I’m actually surprised he’s a cheater. He seemed so quiet and a bit … slow.
I think Mackenzie had a pretty decent upbringing, I just always waited and hoped her mother ( God rest her soul) would have given her a different outlook on Josh .
She chased him from the beginning, what she needed/ needs to hear is .. you are a beautiful girl, you have value, stop chasing this boy that will never give you what you deserve nor will he make you happy .
All of this ( from so many of these people) crap about “ I want my child to have their father”, I ask why? What does this bastard have to contribute to their life? Josh is showing his boys that it’s ok to mentally abuse a woman and cheat on her, get rid of him before they’re too old and walk in his footsteps.
Josh is the worst and always has been. Seriously, what does anyone see in him? He’s not attractive and has zero personality. He’s a career rodeo clown. He’s a wet blanket. He can’t even put an articulate sentence together. Leave his ass and never look back.
People always show you who they are the first time, Make sure you believe them the first time so there is no second time.
Why does she act surprised always when he is cheating on her, it’s like his hobby now. Fishing until 3 am?! PLEASE. This guy is a joke and she should have divorced him AGES ago, hope she sticks with it now and stops trying to make it work just for the kids (which I assume she is doing). As they say, once a cheater, always a cheater. Seriously just serve those divorce papers to him and focus on your kids, one day a guy who won’t want to bang every living woman will cross your path. You’re young (and I’m sure still in grief from your mom’s death), just stop focusing on someone who forgot you exist years ago.
josh is the biggest loser. he barely says a word in front of the cameras and i’m pretty sure he’s just as inarticulate off-camera. mackenzie, focus on the kids and yourself. eventually, when the time is right, someone worthy will come into your life.
Ugh, so much dysfunction.
Wowww what a piece of shit..and she doesnt even have her mother here for support..i hope she never goes back
I honestly do not think he was desperate. Josh is a careless man who had absolutely no feelings for Mackenzie. Not saying that he did have feelings for her cousin either. She gave him the opportunity to cheat and he didn’t see a reason not to, and decided to cheat because he’s never loved Mackenzie. Interestingly enough, Mackenzie married Josh knowing that he didn’t love her. She set herself up for failure from the beginning. She was in love with the idea of being married and having a family but had absolutely no idea what it entailed! A child is always a blessing, no exception. And Josh didn’t learn this even after their first child was born. He kinda just goes with whatever to get her to be quiet. He went along with getting married. He went along with fathering children. He went along with cheating once (that we know of). He went along with being reborn a Christian because MacKenzie’s mom wanted it and he knew she wouldn’t be around much longer. Now she’s gone, what else is there for him to do? Be a committed husband? Of course not! Let’s just cheat again, why not? That’s easier! All in all, I believe he’s worse than Ryan. Ryan has no problem showing that he doesn’t care and Josh just lives day by day mumbling and not giving a damn. I feel Mackenzie brought this on to herself. I don’t feel the least bit sorry for her.
You’re absolutely right. I watched TM3 and it was clear then that he didn’t really give a shit about her, and wasn’t interested in being committed, but she stuck to her delusional fantasy that he would love her and be an awesome husband and father despite nothing but evidence to the contrary. I can’t believe they lasted this long.
Imagine how desperate you must be to go after your wife’s cousin.
And how big of a piece of shit you have to be to go after your married cousin’s man.
JERRY! JERRY!
I’m giving this story serious side eye, she’s claimed he’s cheated on her multiple times. She turned this story into clickbait awfully damn fast! If it were me, and my mom had just died and my hubs cheated on me with my cousin, I’d be too crushed to create a fuckin clickbait article about it.
I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt only because of the way he was treating her right after her mom died, he was NOT there for her, he wasn’t supportive at all. The poor girl was constantly balling her eyes out and he would literally walk out of the room like a total asshole…but I kind’ve agree with you. While what she was/is going through with her mom seems genuine, that whole cheating stuff this season seemed like an attempt at a storyline to seal her spot on the show, and the click bait…I can see why some would think that’s not really a good look.
I hate to say it but I didn’t buy that he was a changed man to begin with. I saw a clip of where Mackenzie was falling apart after her mom’s death and was begging Josh to be there. She said, “I don’t want to live anymore”. She didn’t mean she wanted to commit suicide, she meant her world as she knew it was breaking & she was lost. His response? “I’m not listening to this!” and stomps out of the house leaving her there crying. That was right after her mom died. That’s bad enough but, now he’s cheating on her with a relative? I truly hope she really does leave him this time.
It’s difficult to believe you, Mackenzie. The two of you have been making up stories and scandals for years.
If he DID cheat, leave him for good. Don’t go back when he promises he’s “a changed man.” Cheaters don’t change.
My feelings EXACTLY! Josh has outed her before for making up relationship problems and saying she threw his ring down the toilet and she kicked him out and he said he was in their bedroom sleeping and didn’t even know she was posting that stufff and it wasn’t even true. So it’s hard for me to believe her about their relationship issues. It always seems like it happens right towards the end of filming so she can be brought back for another season. He has seemed like he has wanted out since their Teen Mom 3 season.
She doesn’t deserve any of this, especially so close after losing her mother. She tried talking to him about her grief, and the scumbag totally blew her off, literally walked away, and then had the audacity to have an affair with her COUSIN? He is the worst of the worst. His karma is about to be something FIERCE. She said people have it worse than her, yes that statement is true, HOWEVER….this is pretty damn bad. Girl fully deserves that pity party.
From this moment on, every dude I meet from Oklahoma will be referred to as “cousin fucker”.
stay lit
I wanna say it’s wrong but the guy I’m off and on with and his cousin both fucked the same chick…first him, then cousin did, and eventually he went back to her for another quick fling. 17-18 year olds are weird…
Actually no one is surprised.
That is seriously some f-ed up shit!
You have 3 kids. Grow up josh. Sadly ppl like this will never change. Cut your losses
First off I’m absolutely not supportive of cheating in any circumstance…but…I honestly cannot blame him. Mc-Nag has been the most annoying human I’ve ever seen since day 1. Constantly in his face telling him how horrible he is. She doesn’t even give him a chance to try to do anything she just bags him in that whiny voice 24/7. And if I’m not mistaken they broke up once because she cheated on him early in their relationship. So regardless of the incessant whining and nagging she’s not nearly as perfect as she makes out. Especially when she goes off and says horrible things like she never loved him and all sorts of shit every time she gets annoyed with him…which is always. They’ve been emotionally abusing one another back and forth since the beginning and I am hoping this time he truly gets out. Because he doesn’t deserve to be berated, she doesn’t deserve to be cheated on, and those kids don’t deserve the toxic situation their parents created for them.
But he cheated with her COUSIN! And while she’s still dealing with the loss of her mom.
If he’s so miserable he can put his big boy pants on and get a divorce. There is no excuse for cheating, ever. Either you’re committed to the marriage or you aren’t. If you’re not, then end it so everyone can move on rather than blindsiding your wife and children with affairs
Run run run. This guy is just trash. Hope this time her ‘clever’ relatives don’t talk her into forgiving him and blaming herself for his disgusting behavior.
That bothered me too. She seemed done and ready to walk away before her mom passed. She said she wasn’t in love with him and they shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. It seemed like everyone was trying to guilt her into staying and forgiving and trying no matter what the cost. Sometimes it’s best for the kids to not see dysfunction and chaos. There are some things an apology won’t fix.
What an awful, disgusting and shitty thing to do. Josh and Mackenzies cousin should be absolutely ashamed and I hope they will forever be out of the family and be embarrassed over this. There is no excuse to cheat. If you’re unhappy, just LEAVE! You cheated on your wife while her mother was dying and still continued doing it while Mackenzie was grieving and needed you the most! This makes me so angry I honestly can’t understand why anyone would do this to someone they supposedly love.
