Amber Portwood: I"m QUITTING Teen Mom OG Over Lack of Respect!
Amber Portwood, saying that she’s had it with Teen Mom: OG, is quitting the MTV show following her blowout fight with Farrah Abraham.
This is not a rumor. We’re quoting Amber.
The 26-year-old mother of one quietly but matter-of-factly announced in an Instagram post on Thursday that she’s leaving Teen Mom OG.
“I’ll be leaving #teenmomog sadly,” she captioned a cast pic that showed her with Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell.
Her reasoning may not surprise those who watch Teen Mom OG online, or who have followed the social media back-and-forth lately:
“The lack of respect is too much anymore!”
“But still sending all my love!”
Portwood’s announcement comes after the airing of an explosive fight with Abraham (above) during the Teen Mom OG reunion special.
In the first part of the reunion, which aired at the end of November, Portwood went at Abraham regarding the status of their friendship.
“We used to be [friends] and then she decided to open up her crooked lips. She decided to do an interview saying something.”
“About how it’s good that [my daughter] Leah is with Gary [Shirley] and how my house probably smells like piss. You don’t do that.”
That was before they came to blows.
In part two, which aired December 5, Portwood stormed onto the stage, yelled and actually took a swing at the bewildered non-porn star.
What set her into such a rage?
Abraham and her Internet troll boyfriend Simon Saran insinuated that Portwood’s 46-year-old fiancé, Matt Baier, looked like “a pedophile.”
Things got worse as producers tried to restrain her and Abraham’s parents came out; Baier pushed Farrah’s father Michael, to the floor.
Hours after the episode aired Portwood took to social media to claim that the reality show had been unfairly edited in favor of Farrah.
“They cut out Michael literally screaming in my face calling me a bitch and him putting his hands on Matt’s neck!!” Amber said on Instagram.
“After 8 years this is so disrespectful.”
“I’ve worked too hard on myself to take this kind of disrespect,” Portwood said, and compounded with the social media fallout (see meme above)?
Enough was enough for her basically.
Abraham, self-righteously, portrayed herself as the victim of Portwood’s violent attack, and said she’s simply above that sort of shenanigans.
“I didn’t have to attend the rest of the reunion or specials [because of what I consider Amber’s] criminal behavior,” she actually said.
According to the Backdoor Teen Mom star, “MTV legal has said I no longer will ever have to work with or around Maci, Catelynn or Amber.”
Farrah added that MTV hoped that her dad wouldn’t press charges against Baier or the network even though he “has every right to.”
As for whether is really it for Amber?
We’re guessing money talks and she’ll be back. Not because she’s a greedy sellout, but because life is expensive, and this is a good gig.
Her intentions to bail may be 100 percent sincere; Amber was dragged HARD, on and off the air, all season, leading up to the reunion.
But when push comes to shove here, Amber and Matt have been a big draw for the popular series, MTV is gonna want a new season.
Amber is an important component of that season, with many storylines in her complex life to extrapolate on. So … they’ll make it worth it.

Chip Gaines Calls for "Respect" Amidst HGTV Gay Scandal
Chip Gaines is choosing to remain chipper in the face of ongoing adversity.
The HGTV star, one half of the popular couple at the center of home renovation and design show Fixer Upper, found himself in all kinds of headlines last week…
… despite not actually doing or saying anything of note.
But Buzzfeed published a lengthy article that highlighted the pastor who leads the church in Texas often frequented by Chip, his wife Joanna and their children.
The feature piece went into depth regarding Jimmy Seibert, specifically two beliefs he holds when it comes to homosexuals:
- He does not support gay marriage.
- He thinks gay people can be converted into straight people.
Doe Chip and Joanna share these controversial beliefs?
Would a gay couple ever be featured on Fixer Upper?
How dare Buzzfeed run what basically amounted to a hit piece on Chip and Joanna simply based on the church they attend?
Many questions were asked in light of this article. Many sides were taken.
In response, HGTV issued a statement that read:
“We don’t discriminate against members of the LGBT community in any of our shows. HGTV is proud to have a crystal clear, consistent record of including people from all walks of life in its series.”
And it’s true: plenty of same-sex couples have been featured on such programs as Love It or List It and Property Brothers.
Chip and Joanna, meanwhile, have said next to nothing in reply to this scandal.
Some, however, have interpreted a couple Chip Tweets as confirmation that he agrees with his pastor’s stances in relation to the gay lifestyle.
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. DO EVERYTHING IN LOVE,” he wrote the day the Buzzfeed article went viral, later adding:
“U know.. even as all hell ‘appears’ to be breaking loose. All I have to do is look at my 4 precious babies sleeping, or kiss Jo good morning and at least at that moment, at my house, all is right with the world.”
These Tweets are obviously not an admission of any viewpoint.
But many are wondering why Chip would not simply come out and express his support for gay marriage if that, indeed, is what he believes.
(Others, conversely, are wondering why on earth Chip has to make this opinion public.)
On December 3, meanwhile, Gaines did directly address the Buzzfeed article that started this hullabaloo, along with one of that website’s writers.
And he did so in a broad, very positive manner.
“Regardless of our decision to make a statement about all this craziness, or not, I ask that people please! respect [BuzzFeed’s] @KateAurthur & [Cosmopolitan’s] @ginamei,” Gaines wrote.
That’s a very nice and reasonable sentiment.
The following morning, the reality stars headed to their controversial church for Sunday mass.
“In times of trouble … you’ll find the gaines family at church,” Chip wrote.
In June of last year, Seibert told churchgoers the following:
“God defined marriage, not you and I. God defined masculine and feminine, male and female, not you and I. Truth No. 1: Homosexuality is a sin. The lie: Homosexuality is not a sin.
A similar statement was shared on the nondenominational, evangelical church’s website.
Fixer Upper airs on HGTV Tuesdays at 9/8c.
Will your viewing of it depend on whether or not Chip and Joanna share this belief?
