Mackenzie shared photos of her and Josh, 28, posing in the woods as well as throwbacks from their 2013 wedding.
She captioned it: “Happy 8 year wedding anniversary to the man who has the patience of a saint.”
Trolls immediately flocked to the comments to say that they hope Josh “appreciates” Mackenzie and their three kids and doesn’t cheat again.
Mackenzie hit back by revealing she actually cheated on Josh three times and claiming their infidelities strengthened their relationship, as well as slamming “perfect marriages”.
She wrote over photos of the couple on her Instagram Stories: “People: ‘Why don’t you ever post about Josh?’ Makes a post after over half a year.
“‘He’s trash, he cheats, you deserve better.’ Y’all it’s exhausting. Every freaking time.
“Let me post a damn anniversary photo. I’m glad I cheated on him and I’m glad he did what he did to me.”
The MTV star added: “We are no longer stuck in the same place we were. It helped us grow and move forward. I’m happy your marriage is perfect. But mine isn’t and this is our story.

“And please stop saying I fought to keep him. Y’all I will NEVER fight for a man. The show is so off from how things really are. I’m not a weak b***h’.
“If this info has you disappointed in me, I’m not sorry. We met as literal children and grew through many seasons of life together.
“He chose to forgive me and come work it out when I chose to walk away so please allow me to simply post about my marriage…”
Mackenzie went on: “Josh and I live our life laughing together and have a better friendship than most of you ‘perfect marriage that was always faithful’ but TV makes us look ridiculous.
“I literally spilled my guts on camera talking about my infidelity over and over. They took it all out and made Josh look like a damn cereal [sic] cheater.”
BOTH CHEATERS
She added in the comments of her anniversary post: “He cheated once and I cheated three times we only point the fingers at him lol.
“I’m glad he did what he did and I did what I did. We were young and we are so much stronger now. All y’all can shove it I just wanted to post one damn photo.”
Mackenzie and Josh have been working on their marriage since she accused him of having an “emotional” affair with her cousin last year.
The Body by Mac owner wrote on Facebook in May: “One week after my mom died, when he started leaving and changing his behavior, [I] find he was texting a woman 3-600 times per month and calling her.
“I got to call the number and it was my close cousin Ashley. My family will never be the same and we are all torn. I WAS NOT only hurt by him, but by her.
“I’m now opening my eyes to what a horrible man Josh has been. He has been a lie… but today is the day I walk away.”
DEFENDING JOSH
But Mackenzie later defended her husband by tweeting: “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 and Josh started dating in 2009 as teenagers and now have three children together – Gannon, Jaxie and Broncs McKee.
However, she filed for divorce from the dad of three after rumors of his affair circulated.
The pair, who have since moved to Florida, later reunited after spending the Christmas holidays together.
Since then, she has insisted she has “no regrets” about starting afresh.
