‘Teen Mom’ Amber Portwood Fired??? No, I Quit The MTV Show!!!
Published | Updated
Amber Portwood apparently is no longer a part of “Teen Mom” … but she’s saying don’t get it twisted — she wasn’t fired — she threw in the towel for her mental health.
Amber recently did a TikTok Live … shutting down rumors she was axed from the popular MTV series, saying the decision to bounce was all hers — and she split “three days ago.”
This isn’t the first time she’s addressed the rumors that she was booted — she jumped on another Live earlier this week to talk about it … but this is the first time she’s straight-up said she was the one who pulled the plug.
AP — who’s appeared on “Teen Mom,” “16 and Pregnant,” and “Marriage Boot Camp”– is something of a series legacy, as she first appeared on “Teen Mom” back in the late 2000s when she was expecting her first baby with then-boyfriend Gary Shirley.
The fame road has been rocky for Amber, to say the least … as she’s faced a series of legal issues since first appearing on the show — including pleading guilty to a felony drug charge in 2011. AP was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but released early due to good behavior.
Her ex Andrew Glennon also got a restraining order against her after a heated argument went down in 2019 — with some of it even being caught on camera.
Just last year, Amber reported her new fiancé Gary Wayt missing weeks after he proposed — and cops got involved — but in the end, he was safe and the matter blew over.
We’re out to MTV for more info on Amber’s claim that she quit … so far, no word back.
