#TeenMomOG Fans Drag Amber Portwood for Child Neglect Amid Feud With Baby Daddy Gary & His Wife!
Amber Portwood announced that she was “taking a break” from social media on Tuesday — but not before Twitter spanking her ex, Gary Shirley, and his wife, Kristina, after the couple bashed her parenting on Teen Mom OG.
Amber predictably raked MTV production for turning her newest relationship and current pregnancy into “a joke.”
I've been on this show for 10 years. I've been through hell! MTV has turned my pregnancy and this relationship into a joke in one of the happiest times of my life. Apparently my life is just for people to tell me how horrible I am as a mother because I went through depression!

MTV captured Gary and Kristina discussing Amber’s shoddy parenting style, and after seeing the episode, Amber sounded off on Twitter — blasting the couple, and reminding them that they owe her their MTV fame.
Amber alleged on the show that a battle with post-breakup depression was behind the blocks of time detached from her daughter, Leah, 9. However, Amber backtracked on Twitter, blaming a stint on Marriage Bootcamp as the reason for her absence. Either way, she managed to snag a new man along the way — a detail that did not escape Leah’s attention. Gary and Kristina called her out on the show—and Amber fired back.
Make sure to watch Gary and Kristina tonight talking shit about me! It must be hard making money off of me! Being such a bad mom and all. Where would they be? Wait..in a 1 bedroom shack in the ghetto of Anderson where he was before I got out and the show came back on!! Ignorant!

How am I not a mother? Because I did a show during her summer break and was in LA for 3 weeks making fucking money to take care of my child while they sat on there a** doing nothing? I wasn't even home I was filming Boot camp! I was right there for Leah.

An astute onlooker nailed Amber to the wall — and lots of viewers chimed in similar thoughts.

so Amber can pull herself away from puking and nausea and get on a boat and snorkel to make Andrew happy, but can’t pull herself together to see Leah more than two times in a summer? Mother of the year right there. #TeenMomOG

Amber got down and dirty, and went for the jugular—blasting her daughter’s stepmother—the woman who is regularly featured caring for Leah.
You have no fucking clue what your talking about in any way!! She broke up her family for money and tv! Her husband got a restraining order on her cheating ass with multiple people and then cheated with Gary! What about her daughter? Straight out of Gary's mouth!!

Amber revealed that she was off her meds due to the pregnancy—-after her two day “break” from Twitter. This will be her new beau, Andrew Glennon’s first child.
Im doing it right now without medication due to my pregnancy so it's been really hard these last few months. However going to classes and therapy has really helped me as well as family and close friends! You will get through it love!!💖

What do you think—is Amber using her mental illness as an excuse to neglect her daughter?
