Once a cheater with Mackenzie McKee's cousin, always a cheater with her cousin. Am I right? Apparently, not exactly.

Drama with the Teen Mom OG star began last week, when Mackenzie claimed that she discovered her husband Josh had an "affair" with her cousin. But that news is so yesterday, according to the mom-of-four. As reported by In Touch Weekly, Mack is now changing her statement in this texting scandal. More importantly, she's moving on from the situation, and would like her fans to do the same.

Initially, Mackenzie said Josh and her cousin exchanged up to 600 texts a month and were talking on the phone. As she saw it, it didn't make a difference if the two had never exchanged anything more than words. Cheating was cheating, and Josh had cheated yet again, this time with her own family. "I[']m now opening my eyes to what a horrible man [J]osh has been. Has has been a lie," she wrote in her original post. But now, she's claiming it wasn't cheating, that's not what she meant in the first place, and we all should just forget she ever said it. Um, what?!

Regardless of the shift in her stance, Mackenzie is standing by her new claims, and took to Twitter to write, "I never used the word 'banging' or 'cheating.' Please stop stalking and digging for relatives and invading privacy. Josh was texting and calling her for advice on how to handle me and to me, that was wrong on both ends and enough to walk away. Now let’s all move along.” 

Mackenzie has admitted to feeling "weak" and "embarrassed" for various things she's said about Josh on social media in the past, so maybe she's backtracking for more reason than one.
