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...
In a way, modern reality stars live two lives concurrently.
There's the storyline we see on our TV screens that provides in-depth detail about events that took place several months ago -- and then there are the social media posts that provide up-to-the-minute updates on what the stars are doing right now.
Debra Danielsen is the mother of Farrah Abraham.
And even though Danielsen's polarizing daughter recently trashed Amber Portwood in the wake of her arrest for domestic assault, Debra is here to offer Amber some parental advice.
Amber Portwood has spoken out for the first time since her arrest for domestic battery.
But she hasn't proclaimed her innocence. Nor has she thanked her fans for their support.
Shortly after Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence this month, our staff members debated a seemingly important question as it related to the Teen Mom OG star:
For a full decade now, the Teen Mom franchise has been the gift that keeps on giving for a whole slate of terrible moms.
What started as a series of one-off specials about teen pregnancy developed into a cash cow for MTV and its stars.
Amber Portwood may have already made her final appearance on MTV.
The embattled reality star has not made any public statements in about two weeks, not since she was arrested on three felony counts of domestic assault after allegedly attacking boyfriend Andrew Glennon.
Amber Portwood is in A LOT of trouble with the law.
She has been charged with three felonies after allegedly attacking boyfriend Andrew Glennon... while he was holding their one-year old son... and she did so with a machete.
Amber Portwood is being falsely accused of wielding a machete and slashing the bathroom door behind which her boyfriend and baby son were cowering.
So claims someone very close to the disgraced Teen Mom OG cast member:
Amber Portwood will be living a very lonely existence over the next several days, weeks and maybe even months.
This, after a judge handed out a harsh -- albeit understandable -- ruling to conclude Portwood's hearing on Wednesday, five days after she was arrested for felony domestic violence.
