One supporter said: "I only have good feelings about Taylor being here. 

"Because you know he’s doing this for Bentley, and if he didn’t love him, he wouldn’t pay Ryan or Larry dust."

An opponent argued: "Ryan is an abusive piece of trash. 

"If Bentley wants to have a relationship with him, cool, but if I were Maci, it would be phone or family therapy only until homeboy got a lot of treatment and maintained a decent amount of sobriety before they would just be hanging out."

Another advocate wrote: "I have mixed feelings about this, but I will say I had a bio dad that was unfortunately a lot like Ryan.

"Having a deadbeat, drug addict, abusive parent is such a hard thing to navigate for many reasons. I don’t blame anyone in this situation for wanting a 'normal' day/experience."

A second opponent noted: "Feel equally happy and disgusted by this. On one hand, Ryan did so many horrible things."

A commentator chimed in: "It is disheartening to see a man who has made so many awful choices and hurt so many people getting so many chances and free passes.

"I guess all we can do is hope Ryan’s changing for the better this time around."

RELEASED FROM PRISON

In mid-July, The U.S. Sun reported that Judge Gary Starnes ordered Ryan's release from prison to enter rehab.

The troubled MTV star checked himself in for a 28-day program at CADAS Rehab in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

After rehab, he would enter the Oasis halfway house under the facility. 

Ryan was arrested in February at his job for harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and order of protection violation. 

He was also arrested for aggravated stalking and violating a protection order in March after authorities issued two warrants for his arrest on February 23.

In February, Mackenzie Standifer Edwards, who married Ryan in 2017, filed for divorce from her spouse.

She requested Ryan provide child support for their kids Jagger and Stella, as well as alimony for her.
