Teen Mom OG: Fans React to Bentley’s Choice of Words
In a moment that caught viewers off guard, Bentley referred to his father simply as “Ryan.” It sparked mixed reactions.
Some were shocked. “I didn’t know Bentley called Ryan by his first name,” one person said. Another added, “He said Ryan called 😬.” Yet others found it understandable. “You earn being called dad,” someone commented. “Taylor has probably been that for most of Bentley’s life.”
Still, the consensus is that this is progress. “Ryan looks so happy and healthy! I love this for Bentley,” one user posted. Another summed it up: “Bentley deserves this peace with his dad.”
Teen Mom OG: “We’ve Waited Forever for This”
The emotional tone of the clip is undeniable. Ryan jokes about needing a minivan for Bentley’s many siblings. Bentley responds with a classic teen, “Ya, I know, golly.” This gets a laugh from thousands of fans. “His dad jokes are giving Larry,” one user pointed out, referring to Ryan’s own father.
“I’m so happy for them,” another wrote. “Ryan’s finally showing up — and Bentley’s giving him a chance.”
Fans who’ve followed the pair since the very first episode are calling this redemption arc “the most satisfying part of the season.” One wrote, “This is the man Maci always saw in Ryan. She never gave up on him.”
And that says it all.
