Lacey and Shane Whitlow are in a bad spot amid their latest breakup on Life After Lockup and the stress of it all put Shane in the hospital. After Lacey admitted to cheating on her husband with her on-and-off ex John Slatter, she has been at odds with Shane. Outside of the show, Lacey and Shane have been confirming the end of their marriage despite having a baby girl to raise together. With all the family drama and negative responses from fans, Shane went ghost to get away from it all. Lacey grew worried and asked for support before updating fans on Shane's whereabouts.

The toxic nature of Lacey and Shane's relationship has played out on the show since their inception on Love After Lockup. During her debut, Lacey was engaged to John while secretly dating Shane at a time when both men were finishing out stints in prison. Lacey wasted no time shacking up with Shane since he was released first and kicking John to the curb. Lacey went on to marry Shane but ran back to John when Shane admitted to cheating. Since then, Lacey has continued to toy back and forth between both men anytime Shane disappoints her. The lack of trust in the relationship comes from both sides with Lacey constantly betraying Shane with John and Shane constantly keeping secrets from Lacey.

She went on to note how rough the last year has been in wake of the pandemic and how mental health needs to be taken seriously. Lacey also expressed her concern for Shane and confirmed that their real-life drama wasn't a storyline for the hit reality show they're on. "No matter what this is my daughters' dad this isn’t for the show or a storyline this is HIS LIFE," Lacey said. The alarming posts come after Shane alerted his followers that he was having issues with Lacey. The last post on his page shows him at the gym. In his caption, he mentioned how he was working to remain "mentally, physically, and spiritually strong," amid his messy breakup with Lacey.

On the show, Lacey admitted to cheating on Shane with John again after Shane failed a lie detector test she forced him to take. Even ahead of the test, Shane was already in the dark about Lacey's communication with John. Lacey has always gone back to John anytime Shane upsets her. With her admitting to sleeping with John again after welcoming a child with Shane, it shows that Lacey and John have strong feelings for each other that they continue to entertain. The latest drama surrounding the Life After Lockup couple only proves that they might not be forcing their storyline. Lacey and Shane have a real-life toxic romance.
