Amber Portwood

Amber Portwood and Clinton Yunker have broken up, paving the way for her eventual reconciliation with baby daddy/punching bag Gary Shirley.

Just kidding ... about the second part.

The controversial Teen Mom star ended the "mature relationship" this week, and the mixed martial artist has wasted little time moving on.

PORKER: They seemed like such a good match, too ...

"I was out with some friends at Buffalo Wild Wings and recognized Amber's boyfriend Clinton, but he was all over some girl," a source said.

"He told me Amber broke up with him."

In true reality TV style, things got crazy when Gary Shirley, who's been criticized for egging Amber on, showed up to the same restaurant.

Yesterday we played a video of Amber Portwood's baby daddy, Gary Shirley, laughing at and antagonizing the volatile, troubled Teen Mom star.

Often seen as the victim of her attacks, this cast Gary in a different light. Now, the audio below poses additional questions about Gary's role.

On December 15, Shirley desperately tried to get his other chick, a frequent target of Amber's threats, to cover up yet another beatdown.

Gary admits that Amber "f**king hit me" and can clearly be heard telling his girl how to stonewall reporters who got wind of the altercation.

In return for Ashley's silence, Gary says, "Maybe one day we can start a family." Isn't that the mentality that  ... whatever, here's the tape:

Gary Shirley Calls the Other Woman

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:

Amber Portwood Goes Off On Gary Shirley

After a turbulent 24 hours, Amber Portwood was released from jail and is about to be reunited with her 2-year-old daughter, Leah, according to her lawyer.

"It's my understanding that Leah will be placed back with her," Robert Schembs said.

Portwood pleaded not guilty to three felonies - two counts of domestic battery and one count of neglect of a dependent - after being arrested on Tuesday.

FREE WOMAN: Amber Portwood got sprung. Gary Shirley, run and hide!

After turning herself in, the troubled Teen Mom star was booked late Monday and detained overnight at the Madison County jail in Anderson, Ind.

She is no longer allowed to have contact with Gary Shirley, according to her lawyer. However, he adds, "To my knowledge, they're on good terms."

"I'm really proud of her," he says. "She was strong. Her outlook was positive. She had shock, of course, but was in good spirits. She's really trying."

Following her televised beatdown of Shirley, she's going to have to try harder to change her ways if she wants to stay out of an orange jumpsuit.

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.

Hours after she was charged with multiple felonies, Amber Portwood turned herself in to authorities late yesterday afternoon.

The troubled Teen Mom was placed in an Indiana jail, per the law, said an officer at the Madison County jail: "Domestic battery has an automatic hold. Even if someone pays your bond, you still have to wait 24 hours to be released."

Amber Portwood Slaps Gary Shirley

The 20-year-old MTV star allegedly attacked Gary Shirley on three separate occasions over the last 12 months. He's the father of her two-year-old daughter, Leah.

Amber is expected to be released from prison at 4:15 EST. She faces two felony counts of domestic battery, one felony count of neglect of a dependent and one misdemeanor count of domestic battery.

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has officially been charged for hitting and shoving her former fiance Gary Shirley on an episode of the MTV reality show.

Portwood was charged by the Madison County (Ind.) prosecutor’s office with two counts of domestic battery and one count of neglect of a dependent.

Those are all felonies, in part because their two-year-old daughter Leah was there for it. A misdemeanor charge of domestic battery was also filed.

THAT HURTS! Amber is feeling the pain of felony charges.

Portwood faces up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000 for each of the counts, which also led to her temporarily losing custody of Leah.

Privately, the reality of facing criminal charges has brought Amber to the edge as she is facing the sobering truth about her future slipping away.

Here's hoping she gets it together sooner rather than later, for all of their sakes. Here's just one of her televised attacks on Gary Shirley ...

Amber Portwood Slaps Gary Shirley

Did MTV not only allow, but encourage Amber Portwood to lay the smack down on Gary Shirley on Teen Mom? That's the allegation of a new tabloid report.

Portwood is planning to use that as a defense against the felony charges she faces after manhandling Gary on a recent episode, the National Enquirer says.

Just when we were willing to give Teen Mom its due for lowering teen pregnancy rates, we learn MTV may be handing out bonuses for domestic violence. Wow.

Amber caught Gary off guard. The producers? Possibly not.

The 20-year-old single mom was recently charged with two felony counts of domestic battery after she was shown kicking and punching Gary this fall.

He was fine, but Amber and Gary's 2-year-old daughter, Leah, was present during two of the violent attacks, contributing to the felony classification.

Amber Portwood insists the violence was all a ruse and that show execs gave her an extra $1,000 to "get physical" with her ex during filming. Why?

Because they "wanted more drama," says an insider.

Amber Portwood's new boyfriend, Clinton Yunker, is perfect for her.

That's according to his mom, who is speaking out to the press for some reason, and says that the couple's relationship is "mature." Well, we're sold!

Maybe we should be more open-minded. Pre-Clinton, the Teen Mom star and Gary Shirley set the bar VERY low. Anyway, Judith Reagan explains:

YUNK IN THE TRUNK: Clint just made our celebrity mug shots album!

"I am pleased Clinton is in a mature relationship with Amber. It has been very difficult for us all since there have been so many negative articles."

"It is his life and he can date who he chooses but the relationship has caused an unexpected situation being in the public eye," says Yunk's mama.

"I haven't spent enough time with her to know if it is meant to be."

Amber Portwood and Shirley share custody of Leah, who just turned two. As for Clinton Yunker's OWN love child, which he fathered as a teenager?
