Amber Portwood once again partook in what’s becoming one of her favorite hobbies (aside for lounging on her LazyBoy, naturally): bashing Gary Shirley on TikTok Live.
The Teen Mom star was blasting her baby daddy— whom she shares 16-year-old daughter Leah with— early Monday morning while doing a Live with creator Mr. Hoodz. As fans are aware, Leah is currently estranged from Amber and Gary recently revealed on the show that Amber only saw Leah four times in the last year. (Amber has pointed the finger at Gary for this, stating that he told her not to come over to see Leah.)
On Monday, Amber slammed Gary, claiming money corrupted him and has made him a “pawn” for ‘Teen Mom.’
“Gary is a f**king pawn in a f**king show!” Amber— who, mind you, has starred on the exact same show for 15+ years– stated. “…he’s never even had a job. I’m the only one that’s had a f**king job here, y’all. Like, I’m done!”
The ‘Teen Mom’ star insisted she’s “working right now” but didn’t disclose how.
(The Ashley would like to interject here that, despite what Amber is claiming, Gary has, indeed, had jobs. During the early seasons of ‘Teen Mom,’ he was working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. He now owns several properties that he rents out for a profit.)
Amber infamously ripped Gary apart during a TikTok Live on Christmas Eve, accusing him of raping her and being a bad dad (among other things.) Last month, Amber hit TikTok Live again, this time to accuse Gary of blackmailing her and lying about her.
During Monday’s Live, Amber explained how her views on Gary have changed over the years.
“He was a person— I thought– who wanted to do good by me because of what our past was. And I thought he wasn’t going to push the envelope [with me] because of some things in the past, if he was smart of enough,” Amber said. (FYI– she’s likely referring to this.)
“…It’s like a good guy turning bad because of money,” Amber continued. “And it makes me want to cry, because I had a relationship with Gary for, what, like 20 years?” she said, agreeing with Mr. Hoodz when he said that Amber got Gary “paid” for having a child with her.
Amber then slammed Gary’s parenting.
“He’s not a full-time dad! Kristina’s a full-time dad,” Amber stated.
During previous Lives, Amber has stated that Gary “begged” her to return to filming for Teen Mom: The Next Chapter after she took a short hiatus.
“Guys, I left the show twice and was completely broke,” Amber said in February. “I knew I wasn’t going to have the money…I came back, yes, but… I was begged by [Gary], a person who said they needed the money. I’m gonna take care of my f**king daughter. What would you guys do?
“…I came back for my daughter, just to have [Gary] lie on me on everything, after I did [the show again] just so [Gary and Kristina] weren’t losing their s**t,” Amber said at the time. “I feel so defeated, knowing how much I sacrificed my privacy…I’m so sad that people think of me the way they do, and it’s all because of one man– just one man!— who lied out of his f**king teeth. Just one, that’s all it took.”
On Monday, Amber bashed fans who support Gary.
“If you guys keep saying [I’m] a delusional narcissist, you need to send that s**t to Gary!” she said. “Don’t send that to me. Y’all are really, like, on Gary’s d**k so f**king hard it’s ridiculous.”
Amber then told the fans who are #TeamGary that they shouldn’t be following her on social media and instead should be giving their views to Gary. (She also managed to slip in a humble brag about how many people watch her Lives.)
“If that’s the case, y’all need to go over there [to his social media]. Why are you watching me?” she said. “Because this morning, I had 7,000 people watching me! So, if y’all ride him so hard, then go give him the 7,000 [views]. Go give him all of that bulls**t. Because I don’t want it! I don’t care.”
After Amber’s Live, she was banned from TikTok Live for an undetermined amount of time. However, she quickly FaceTimed Mr. Hoodz and held court on his TikTok Live later on Monday.
