‘Teen Mom’ Friends Step In After Amber Portwood’s Mental Breakdown

Teen Mom is back on MTV, and one former cast member has many of her friends and loved ones worried about her well-being. Amber had a complete mental breakdown, and it all played out on TikTok. By the time all was said and done, many of her friends and family were trying to intervene to help her.
Here is a look at what happened and how her family and friends reacted to the bizarre videos.
Amber Portwood Has A Complete Mental Breakdown
Amber Portwood has always seemed to be on the edge. However, she had a recent massive meltdown, and it all played out live on TikTok. In the videos, Portwood was crying and going off on different problems going on in her life right now. She then lashed out at everyone, including her fans.

“Why am I crying? Because I’m petrified. I’m petrified. I gave up half my life for you guys to be saying this awful s*** about me,” she exclaimed. “I thought you guys were f****** smarter than that. Really?” She then said that she wasn’t “high” or “manic,” and that she never gave up her kids. “I fought,” she said.
She then returned after reading comments left after the first meltdown. It seems many fans were less than sympathetic. “What’s wrong with you? Is this what you want? Is this what you f****** want?” Amber cried. “You know the pain I went through when I had my children gone? You know what pain that is? It’s death.”
Amber’s ex, Gary Shirley, gained custody of Leah. In 2023, Amber also lost custody of her son, James. Amber then went on in her rant, saying, “I survived fentanyl! Like the mental health issues I have. It’s so f***** up! Are you guys serious? You dare speak to me like that?”

“People in Amber’s life have reached out to her after her TikToks and particularly were upset about some of the allegations she made against her ex Gary [Shirley],” a source said (via The U.S. Sun). Last month, Amber had another TikTok confessional where she said that Gary was “not a good dad.”
The source also said things have been getting bad for Amber since her fiance, Gary Wayt, disappeared last summer. He was found, but they broke up. “She’s struggling with her mental health right now, and hasn’t been able to recover from her recent setbacks,” the source said. “Now, TikTok is an outlet for her.”
