Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood had a pretty intense last year. From her domestic abuse court cases to finding a new man, it's been a wild ride for everyone involved.
Although it's pretty hard for most viewers to have too much sympathy for a domestic abuser, apparently MTV is trying to give Amber the good edit. That means they spent much of last season showing off her relationship with her new man, who is unsurprisingly shady. The couple recently split, but now Amber is turning her attention toward her baby daddy, Gary Shirley.
She is accusing Gary of cheating on his wife, Kristina, and claims he is a "two-faced liar."
Now, Kristina is showing that she won't stand for this - she's clapping back against Amber.

So far, Amber Portwood has had bad luck when it comes to her baby daddies. Or maybe we should call it good luck? For what it’s worth, these men are the primary caregivers for her children, so we need to give them that.
She is currently involved in a court battle with Andrew Glennon, the father of her 2-year-old James, over custody issues.
But now, Amber is more focused on her OG baby daddy, Gary Shirley.
She took her anger to social media and made so many inflammatory remarks we don’t know where to start.
Over the weekend, she called Gary and his wife, Kristina, two-faced liars, and she decided to double down on her claims on Instagram.
“You’re two-faced,” she said to Gary on Instagram last week. “And your wife’s two-faced, saying that I’m like a teenager, I’m like a teenage daughter.”
Gary later admitted that he and his wife had to take a step back from their relationship with Amber. He apologized to Kristina for having to deal with his ex and is happy she stayed with him and his daughter despite the drama.
But apparently, that wasn’t enough for Amber, and later she accused Gary of cheating, which was allegedly witnessed by a Teen Mom OG producer.
“Homewreckers? OK, you know what? Gary, if you and Kristina are so happy, then why don’t you tell her about how many times you had called me up and talked about sexual encounters that we used to have,” Amber said online. “How many times did you sit there and say, ‘Oh, you’re missing big daddy?’”
So not only is she accusing Gary of cheating…but she’s accusing him of cheating WITH her!
TBH it sounds like she’s taking a page out of Kailyn Lowry’s playbook, but there’s more…
“I mean, there’s even an incident where I was super, super sad, you’re the one who sat on the couch, grabbed me, laid down and forced me to lay down on you, put your arm around my waist underneath my boobs and started rubbing on my head,” Amber continued. “The producer knew about that – the old producer, because this was before – he walked in on it, and then he walked out because he left his coat.”
She then called Gary and Kristina “gross” and “cheaters.”
“I’m done with this bull crap,” she said. “Don’t tell Kristina’ so uncomfortable after. I would never do anything inappropriate guys. I’m happy!”
But it looks like Kristina is taking the higher road, as difficult as it must be when faced down with such an aggressive foe.
"Be kind to everyone. Be patient with difficult people," Kristina shared via her Instagram after Amber's latest tantrum.
It can't be easy for Kristina to stay strong despite Amber's tirades, but having Gary in her corner must help! For his part, Gary hasn't given Amber any attention, which would probably just make her explosions even worse.
Meanwhile, Amber is doubling down.
"I have 1 question for [Kristina,]" Amber penned in an Instagram comment. "How does it feel knowing she doesn't have joint custody of her daughter the same as me because she chose this life over her. She has no excuse for that. Not one thing! She should be ashamed to even act like she's such a great mother. SHE HAS NO PICTURES OF HER OWN DAUGHTER ON HER INSTAGRAM..." Amber slammed.
"I think theres some guilt issues personally. I see her with my daughter compared to hers and its' like she's not even there. I feel bad for her personally. People can take this how they want. It is the truth..."

Amber Portwood Splits With Boyfriend Dimitri, Calls Him 'Possessive'
Amber Portwood doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to who she dates. Although Gary Shirley has matured into a respectable family man, all of the other men in her life have not.
So when she revealed on Teen Mom OG that she was dating someone new, it's no surprise that fans were a bit pessimistic.
Like many of her other men, Amber met Dimitri Garcia online. Even though many felt that it would be beneficial for her to take some time for herself, she was soon launched into a committed relationship with a man she'd never met.
But during this season of Teen Mom OG, we got to see Amber and Dimitri get together in person. And although their chemistry (as well as their ability to communicate) is questioned by some, those in Amber's life seem to want the best for her.
A few months in, she shared news that she and Dimitri are separated.
Amber explained in an interview to The U.S. Sun that she and Dimitri are "doing really good," but they are currently separated due to Coronavirus.
"One of the advantages Dimitri and I have is that we started our relationship long distance and we learned how to enjoy each other’s company virtually," Amber told The Sun. “Now we’re back to doing that again after getting the chance to spend a few months together in person. It’s been really great. It feels natural to us.”
But now, the relationship has done a 180 - and they're over for good.
Amber shared the news during the premier of this season of Teen Mom OG.
She told a producer that Dmitri "has been calling [her] nonstop."
"I need to be aware of this dynamic because I've been in controlling relationships before," Amber shared. "He's possessive from a distance, he needs to know what I'm doing all day every day," she added.
When Dmitri called her to ask what she was up to, Amber replied, "Nothing, I'm outside, wondering why I'm getting a million messages."
"It's not my fault," Dmitri said, explaining he called often "because I think of you. I love you, I miss you a lot."
"There's times where I feel like it's getting a little much," Amber shot back. "It's turning into a very possessive situation and a very not healthy situation."
She went on, "To be questioned by somebody so much at a time like this is just something that is not needed for me whatsoever when I'm dating."
Later, she spilled to Gary that they were over.
"We're not boyfriend and girlfriend," she said. "He started getting to the point where he was calling and texting multiple, multiple, multiple times, all day long."
