Ryan Edwards nearly fell asleep while driving during the finale episode of Teen Mom OG and right away, fans on social media took aim at MTV for allowing the shocking moment to transpire.

Although the majority of fans believed there was a cameraman in the vehicle with Edwards, who was believed to be high on drugs at the time, that actually is not the case.

Instead, cameras were installed in the vehicle and not operated by anyone inside.

"The reason the producers didn't stop Ryan from driving after he was seen nodding off is because the producers would not have been able to see him nodding off," the crew member told The Ashley's Reality Roundup on Wednesday. "That footage (and almost all car footage) is captured on Go-Pro cameras installed on the dashboard. We do not have a live feed to watch the cast in their car, despite what some viewers think. We do not have live eyes on them the whole time we're filming them."

"That footage is captured and watched a few days later after the producers/crew get home from the shoot. It's edited in later. When things happen in the car, we don't know about it until the cast tells us, or when we watch the footage later on," the source continued.

In response to the scary scene, MTV released a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday.

"MTV does not condone driving under the influence," the statement read. "Ryan's erratic behavior was due to actions that he took without anyone's prior knowledge."
