Amber Portwood is a star on MTV's Teen Mom. She is the mother of Leah Leann Shirley, whose father is Gary Shirley, Amber's on-off fiance...
No one is more proud of Amber Portwood's growth and accomplishments than Amber herself.
As wonderful as that is, it does not erase the past -- or make it any less relevant to how people view her, or to how the court rules on custody.
Teen Mom viewers are keenly aware of how troubled Amber Portwood's history have been.
But even Gary Shirley has praised Amber's transformation, noting that she's a better person now than she was even a couple of years ago.
Recently, Amber Portwood was in court facing off against her ex, Andrew Glennon.
Almost three years after she attacked him in their home, he is seeking to move to another state, but Amber doesn't want James that far away from her.
Recently, there was a new twist in Amber Portwood's ongoing legal battle with Andrew Glennon.
Andrew wants to move himself and his son across the country to his home state.
Amber Portwood, it seems, simply can't have nice things.
Or, to be more specific, Amber Portwood can't have nice and/or normal relationships at the same time with her son and daughter.
Amber Portwood has not always been the best mother.
After all, there are only so many times that you can assault your child's father in front of them while keeping yourself in the running for "Mother of the Year."
Jenelle Evans is always full of complaints, and her pity parties are usually full of finger-pointing and utterly devoid of self-reflection.
These days, Evans' biggest gripe is that she deserves a chance to show the world how much she's grown and changed for the better, but MTV is denying her that opportunity.
Matt Baier would like to tell his side of the story.
And it's a pretty simple one, the former MTV personality says.
KABOOM!
Amber Portwood just dropped another bombshell.
If you keep up with your Teen Mom news and gossip, then you're well aware that the people on these shows make just an obscene amount of money.
Like, just buckets and buckets of cash simply because they got pregnant when they were teenagers and had lives that were messy enough to interest MTV.
When Jenelle Evans didn't get invited to join the cast of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, she flipped out.
Perhaps her reaction is understandable.
Amber Portwood's new book is filled with a lot of details about the Teen Mom star's life.
Not everything gets filmed by MTV. A lot of Are You Crazy, Too? has hair-raising stories from Amber's past.
Amber Portwood just came out with a brand new book.
And it's safe to say the Teen Mom OG star holds absolutely, positively, nothing-at-all back in the memoir, which is titled So, You're Crazy Too?.
Reality television is a fickle mistress.
If you're lucky, it can set you up for a life of Kardashian-caliber fame and fortune (or at least enough lucrative sponsored content deals to save you from having to get a "real job.")
Just a couple of weeks ago, the court-ordered drug tests for Amber Portwood and Andrew Glennon came back.
Both were cleared, but that's only one small part of their ongoing custody war.
Amber Portwood has never been one to mince words.
Over the course of her career as one of the OG Teen Moms, Amber has hurled insults, instigated feuds, and reveled in her reputation as one of reality TV's most infamous villains.
Amber Portwood has a long and complicated history, from domestic violence arrests to drug use.
Last year, Andrew Glennon made startling drug use allegations about Amber, expressing concern over her behavior during a custody dropoff.
Amber Portwood knows a thing or two about being famous.
And also about Farrah Abraham.
Amber Portwood probably won't be winning any Mom of the Year awards anytime soon.
Attacking your baby daddy with a machete while he's holding your infant son kinda takes you our of the running for such honors.
As we all witnessed, the Teen Mom: Family Reunion premiere was a chaotic screaming match for some of the cast.
Not everyone was there just yet, including Farrah Abraham. But we know that she was part of it.
We've known for years that Amber Portwood has violent tendencies.
Her fondness for solving her problems with her fists -- and whatever weapons happen to be nearby -- is just one of the reasons that viewers have called on Amber to be fired from Teen Mom OG.
