The drama surrounding Amber Portwood continues to escalate, sparking fresh concerns among her Teen Mom co-stars about her mental health.
Recently, we reported that Amber’s daughter, Leah, expressed a heartfelt desire to be adopted by her fathe Gary Shirley’s wife, Kristina. This revelation has ignited a firestorm of concern, particularly as sources reveal that Amber is reportedly upset about Leah’s request and has indicated she will not allow the adoption.
While Amber has not publicly addressed Leah’s wish or explicitly stated her position on the matter, it is clear from insider sources that the situation has deeply affected her. This latest twist in Amber’s turbulent life has intensified worries among her friends and co-stars, who fear for her emotional well-being amid this personal and public turmoil.
Why Amber’s Co-Stars Worry For Her
In a sneak peek for the upcoming episode airing Thursday, July 25, Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout find themselves caught up in the unfolding drama surrounding Amber Portwood.
According to the clip, Catelynn’s husband, Tyler Baltierra, revealed to her that Gary had disclosed the news of the adoption. This revelation has left both Catelynn and Maci apprehensive about Amber's reaction, as they are uncertain about how she will process this development.
They are also torn about whether they should inform Amber themselves, given their long-standing friendship with her. Maci, in particular, can empathize with Gary's situation, recalling her own struggles with her first partner, Ryan Edwards.
Gary, however, had chosen not to inform Amber about the adoption immediately. Instead, he decided to let Leah have more time to contemplate the decision before breaking the news to her mother. This decision was significant, and Gary wanted Leah to fully consider her feelings before approaching Amber. This raises the question: should Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout intervene and inform Amber, or should they let Gary and Leah handle the situation on their own?
