Amber Portwood Pleads Not Guilty to Assault Charges
Amber Portwood claims she is innocent of assault against Gary Shirley.
The Teen Mom star has been sitting in an Indiana jail for the last 24 hours, but, through a judge, entered a plea of not guilty today to all felony charges that have been filed.
The court has also prohibited Amber from having any contact with daughter Leah or Shirley, under whom the two-year old will be supervised until further steps are taken in Portwood's case.
THG will continue to monitor this case as information develops. You can actually watch Amber smack Gary in this video.

You because you hit another adult doesnt mean you going to hurt your child! They shouldnt have keep her from her daughter at all. They should have just put her in anger managment class and taught her how to control her anger and let that be the end of it! If it happens again then go from there! I think that would have fixed the whole problem. To me it seemed like they were making an example of her. Many parents have problems. They dont have to go through all this, and I dont think Amber, Gary, and Leah should have either! What has all this emotional tention and goings on between the soical workers and parents doing to Leah???

@danielle philips- wow thanx for the laugh- you are truly an idiotic immature little child. Hahahahahahahah people crack me up how stupid they are. Your life is what you make it- if you think your life sux guess what? YOU made it that way. I'm an extremely happy person, I have 2 kids, a husband that's been my best friend since 8th grade, I live in a crappy trailor park, we don't make much money, my family are all idiots, my mom died of cancer 3 years ago, I had a shitty childhood. But you know what- instead of trying to get people to take pity on me I learned from it & I am now a mature responsible adult that made a great life for myself & am very happy! Because I MADE it that way!!! :D I hope everyone here fixes their problems & is able to feel as happy as me.

Danielle you're an idiot. What does any of your upbringing or drama have to with this chick being an over-aggressive fame whore? Amber isn't ready to be a parent yet. And that's sad to say and somewhat contradictory. Usually it's the female that matures first when dealing w/ childbirth b/c of the attachment you get from pregnancy and childbirth. It seems like Amber makes excuses for everything. This sorry bitch couldn't study for her GED b/c she claimed Leah needed to much attention but her fat ass had time to party, look for men and take self defense (spouse abuse) classes. Amber is a poor excuse of a mother and civilized individual. She was aware of every decision she made and she always had the oppoturnity to make wise choices she's just to stupid and self-centered to make them. Having a child at a young age doesn't excuse you from having good morals. Like someone stated before she probably came from a dysfunctional family. Where were her parents at when she was behaving like this?

Ooook?!?!?! I guess the Xanax have kicked in because I have no idea what you're talking about. Nor do I think you understood what I was saying. Nevermind, have a good life?

well, on something like that, there's really not much the owner of the site can do, aside from changing the rules and regulations regarding posts. those people are people you don't know, and that don't know you. that being said, neither one of you (you or them) can really make any judgements. it's a difference of opinion. people don't like it when their opinions are challeneged, so they react stupidly. that's all they were doing. when people have to resort to name calling, they can't argue your point..

@Danielle, I've read all of your comments. And I just wanted to say, that you are really an unstable person. Don't you think that you have enough problems of your own? I don't think you are in any situation to be taking on anyone elses. What you need to realize is that you can't fix Amber. She has to fix herself. This post is not a shot at you or Amber personally and is not sent in a mean way. It's only my opinion and you can take it for what it's worth.

Arabella011,
I'm not related to Amber Portwood. If anyone knows how humiliate Amber on youtubes for this, she will be wanting to die. She is embarrassed and suffered enough. I'm trying to help Amber as a friend by not doing that same mistake and being in jail again. Even though i cuss, i don't cuss around people unless if they push my limit or called me names or bully me or threatened me. What i need everyone to do is to help me figure out how can i call an anger management person to help her. We all can help her if you can understand how much guilty she feels. We must have faith in people and to ourself. A person had told me this: You can not predict it and you can't make it. I'm sorry that you are going through bad times, but that was a long time ago. You have to move on and look whats in front of you. Which means that Amber must go to anger management and gary can call family survices if he needs too but it has to be a good reason. Amber should have some charges which she did

you must be realed to her because anyone who thinks that Amber is correct oin the way she is behaving obviously is related or is sucking her teets.........

I saw the show. Amber is very immature and she should be charged with something AND she defienitly should not have a child. I am glad they have taken that child from her. Gary is wrong in allowing her to treat him that way, but you can tell he has low self esteem and thats why Amber is acting that way. Amber needs to be put in her place so she can recognize what RESPECT is.....She was disrespectful to is parents too and thats just F...,ed up! Gary will probably not testify or press charges and she will get away with it but I feel so sorry fo rthat child because it will be a cycle she will endure and probably go through when she gets older. On the reunion shows she always apologized and thought she was pregnant and did it again.....She is too stuck on herself and she needs a REALITY check QUICK!
