Amber Portwood Ditches Daughter’s Big Day

In the last season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Amber Portwood showed off her new man, Gary Wayt. She also received a lot of pushback for treating her daughter, Leah horribly. Amber called Leah names and acted as if she was a peer and not her own child. More so, when Leah had enough of her mother, Amber stopped making an effort. She then turned it on Leah, who is just 15 as well as her father, Gary Shirley. Amber was a teenager when she and Gary had Leah and were engaged for a short period but called it off.

It was an incredibly combative and toxic relationship with Amber always lashing out at her partners. Gary went on to marry a woman named Kristina and they had a daughter. She has been an amazing mother figure when Amber has lacked so Leah wants Kristina to adopt her. That is not something Amber will allow but she has once again, dropped the ball. It was Leah’s homecoming and Amber was allegedly invited but she seemingly ignored the texts.


According to @tm_chatter, Amber Portwood was alerted that they would be taking photos before the dance. However, she allegedly ignored the texts and did not show up. This made its way to a Reddit thread and the OP wrote this:

  • And honestly, it was for the best that Amber didn’t come. She would’ve ruined Leah’s night.

Leah stunned in a little black dress, her hair parted down the middle and in loose waves. She posed with her father as well as her date who looked simply adorable.

Surprised? Nope.

Not A Shocker

Despite Amber Portwood not wanting Leah to be adopted by Kristina, she is not putting in the work. Yet, Teen Mom followers were not shocked she failed to show up for this big moment. More so, they felt Amber would have just ruined the night:

  • She’d have showed up late, then called her a d*ck in front of her date.
  • Since Amber didn’t have anything to show off about or a new man at her side there was no reason to show up 🥴
  • I’m sure Amber is still waiting for Leah to contact her directly, and probably to apologize.
  • Must not have been filming. No reason to pretend to care.

The big question is if they had been filming, would Amber have made an effort? Maci Bookout and Catelynn Lowell were so concerned about how Leah being adopted would affect Amber’s mental health. However, fans were livid that they were not thinking about Leah.

Are you shocked Amber ditched Leah again or is this expected at this point? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

  1. first of all Leah you look beautiful and you are so lucky to have a wonderful father and bonus mom …Amber is a piece of work and should never be on teen mom again , she has only ever cared about what man she is going to be with and should stop getting paid by MTV for being so disgusting

  2. Leah looked adorable with her little date! Amber would have probably made her cry. Amber is jealous and a literal waste of space. She’s hateful and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever

  3. Leah is absolutely beautiful and Gary and Kristina have done a fabulous job of rasing her. Amber will regret this one day when she gets older and by then it will be too late.

  4. I have been watching the show since Amber was pregnant with Leah. Amber needs SEVERE INTENSE THERAPY! Miss Portwood is extremely narcissistic, mean, petty and highly jealous of others. If the event happening isn’t about her she flips out and creates such a dramatic seen making a fool out of herself and making everyone else around her feel worthless. She is a sorry excuse for a so called “mother”. She needs to grow the heck up and knock her crap off! Leah won’t be a minor forever. I can see Leah washing her hands of Amber the second she turns 18!

    1. I totally agree . Amber is a lowlife,low class and 1 lazy, good for nothing piece of nothing. she doesn’t deserve to have either of those children. it’s a shame how she has treated that little sweet girl all her life. I can’t stand the trashy nasty ass.

  5. I do believe Amber’s best bet is to just leave her daughter alone….all seems to do is blame Gary n his wife when clearly she does not make the effort…the actions dont match up with the words….and every single time she wants to be in her daughters life is to get brownie or sympathy points….I’m sorry but just live the single Life like you apparently want to do and leave Leah to live hers….

  6. Amber is a narcissist. Unless something is not about Amber she has no interest. Kristina is Leah’s mother. Time to start calling Kristina her mom by heart. DNA doesn’t matter.

    1. amber just wants pity. she knows what she is and what’s she’s doing to that child. I can’t believe the girls can’t see what she’s doing and can even stand what she’s doing that that sweet little lady. she really believes she a good mom..I have heard her say it many times. she should be off show. she’s the only mother that does her child that way. I have stopped watching the show because of her . low class.

  7. I agree with you 💯. Amber is disgusting. Kristina has been the mom to beautiful Leah. Kristina has been so amazing with her and has been the awesome mom . Amber is nothing but a narcissist POS. Gary has always been the best dad, I truly wish that he didn’t push Leah to be with Amber. Leah has repeatedly been dumped in by Amber.
