Amber Portwood's daughter Leah Shirley is twelve years old already. Time flies, and that means Leah is old enough to start asking questions about her mother's troubled past.
Recently, Leah is opened up about her perspective on her relationship with her mother. She has shared that the two have no bond, and Amber hasn't denied it!
Amber shared a photo of the two and admitted that she needs to do better for her daughter.
Recently, Amber has been attacking Leah's father and stepmother. She has 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. “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.
So not only did she accuse Gary of cheating…but she accused him of cheating WITH her!
“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 said. “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 in all this mess, Amber’s daughter, Leah, seems to be caught in the middle. She lives mostly with Gary and Kristina, which is a choice she’s made on her own. In a recent interview with E! News, Amber revealed the status of her relationship with her daughter.
"She's definitely coming at me," Amber said. “She definitely wants to know, ‘What the hell happened mom? Why this? Why that?' I say, ‘And you have every right and I'm going to give you your space. You let me know baby girl.’”
In a recent episode of Teen Mom, Leah made her opinions heard.
“A couple of weeks ago Leah got really upset when our plans fell through…and things have felt off ever since," Amber shared in a Teen Mom clip.
But later, Leah shared that she wasn't even interested in inviting her mother to her birthday party. “We don’t really have a bond like that. Twelve years and she hasn’t really done anything. That’s kind of been like Kristina’s spot.”
She didn't mince words, adding, “All she did was just give birth to me and then just kind of left."
And now, Amber shared an Easter update, where she admitted to needing to do better for Leah.
“I know you are going through a lot and there are many things I need to do to make things right,” she captioned a photo of her and her daughter. “However, I will always love you, my beautiful daughter. Love you and Happy Easter.”
A few days ago, Amber also shared an inspirational quote on her page. It read:
God knows I’m not perfect, either. I’ve made tons of stupid mistakes, and later I regretted them. And I’ve done it over and over again, thousands of times, a cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every time I learned something about myself.
