Teen Mom Fans Rage Over Old Clip Featuring Maci Bookout
The old clip shows the Teen Mom star painting her daughter’s nails. At the time, Jayde was under two years old. Maci Bookout is heard threatening her daughter in the video, trying to get her to sit still and cooperate while she painted her nails. As the video progresses, Maci seems to smack her toddler on the stomach for not doing what she was told.
Jayde is now nine years old, but the video comes back to haunt Maci Bookout from time to time. It has resurfaced once again and many Teen Mom fans are concerned about her behavior.
Most people have argued that her actions toward her toddler were not appropriate. Jayde was very young in the clip and not able to understand the activity fully.
On Reddit, one person commented, “I don’t understand why she gets mad at a baby for acting like a baby.” Another person agreed, “Same, especially when it has to do with something non-baby, like painting nails. The dumbassery is off the charts.”
A third person asked “why” the child needed an aggressive tummy pat because she was moving. “Like this was just unnecessary imo,” they concluded.
Yet another person expressed their disgust on Reddit. “Painting a baby’s nails isn’t mandatory or important. She couldn’t handle the baby moving and instead of accepting the baby moving she resorted to threats and hitting,” they wrote.
