Gary Shirley: Victim or Amber Portwood Antagonist?
by Free Britney at .Is rotund Teen Mom baby daddy Gary Shirley the target of Amber Portwood's insane rage, or does he play a big role in antagonizing her?
In a video obtained by TMZ, Shirley gets an earful from the accused felon, but the video raises serious questions about big daddy himself.
Shot in April, the clip shows Shirley on the phone with Amber Portwood, who goes off on him as usual. Strangely, he seems to revel in it.
Should we be pointing fingers at Gary as well?
Portwood pleaded not guilty to assault this week, but Gary may not be a sympathetic figure. He sure had fun with this particular, button-pushing diatribe.
While she was reportedly encouraged to fight Gary by MTV, cops say Amber claims it was not done for Teen Mom viewers' sake but was authentic anger.
Is Gary was really a "victim" of violence in all of this? Was he playing it up for the cameras, or just riling up his baby mama? This clip doesn't help his cause:

just feel sorry for little girl..to be put in that enviorment shame on her parents
Yup he's a sorry ass. He acts like he does nothing wrong in front of the camera but with all the recorded calls tmz has he sure does talk a lot of shit about amber, trys to hookup with her cousin, talks about having more kids with his gf...geez he's ugly girls! Has nothing to offer! Lives with his mother! He's the life size eric cartmen!!!!
Didn't anyone else notice that he was physical with her first in that big scene that caused her charges? He called her names, threatened to take her child then slammed her into the wall with a door... and he slammed her hard. I honestly think he does play the victim for the camera. Whenever the show showed him with their child, his mother was caring for her and he was watching. I do feel bad for the child, because her parents have become part of pop culture for negative reasons. Leah has to grow up with that.
He bought her a $15 engagement ring from walmart.... Enough said.
I can't believe she makes 280,000 a year...pffft she has the money to get help
