This has not been not been a good year for Teen Mom star Amber Portwood! The troubled mom has gone through a suicide attempt, rehab, and numerous break-ups with Gary Shirley and is now admitting to being diagnosed Bipolar.
In the latest incident RadarOnline is reporting that Amber was caught instigating a fight and scrapping with a woman at an Indiana IHOP last month. All class, no trash there! “She was drunk, and there was another girl in the restaurant who had been drinking too and apparently said something about Amber to her friend,” a source revealed to Star magazine.
“Amber instigated the fight,” the source adds. “She told the girl, ‘You don’t know anything about me! I’m gonna whup your ass!’ They just attacked each other.” In the video, Amber is seen wearing a white t-shirt and flailing her arms in the air before she straight up charges the woman. A photo of an irate Amber during the incident is below.
“There were a couple punches thrown and hair pulling, then they were separated,” the witness reports. No word if charges were filed or not, but I imagine they were asked to leave the restaurant…
Amber has announced that her often erratic behavior can partially be explained by bipolar disorder, which she was diagnosed with three years ago.
Speaking to E! News, Amber opened up about her diagnosis and how it affects her life. “I struggle with it. I hate it. I grieve over it,” she shares. “When I went to rehab for two months, they diagnosed me with dissociative disorder too, which makes me black out. People don’t understand what it’s like.”
Despite the struggles, Amber reveals things are looking up for her in life (really? see above?) as she now has a new boyfriend, Mike who she adores. “He’s a gorgeous man. We haven’t spent a day apart since we met,” she says.
“I always knew I wouldn’t be with [baby daddy] Gary for the long term,” Amber confesses. “But with Mike, I know he’s the one. We never fight. He balances me out.” The couple has been seeing each other for about a month.
And speaking about the Nov 18 dispute at IHOP, Amber insists she did not start the fight! “Yes, we did go have a couple of drinks,” she admitted, saying she was with her new boyfriend Mike. “But I was not drunk. We were sitting by ourselves, laughing and talking and my legs were up on his, just having a good time. Suddenly, I hear this couple make these racist comments.”
“I looked over and said, ‘Excuse me, but why are you starting drama? Please do everyone a favor and keep your comments to yourself,’” adding that the comments persisted. “So that’s when I got up and told her to shut her f–king mouth.”
Amber explains she hates being approached in public because she is often made fun of based on what audiences see on TV.
“I’m sick and tired of people bashing me every time I leave my house,” she snapped. “When I go out, I mind my own business, but people try to fight me and get me going because I guess they think I’m most famous for fighting Gary,” Amber laments.
“I get picked on every time I go out in public. I just want to be a normal 21-year-old. I do my duties, I take care of my child. Yes, I did hit Gary, and what people saw was an angry Amber who reacted to the father of her child telling her he had cheated on her.”
“People pick on me just to see if I’ll fight them. They think I’m this hard person, but I’m not! I’m a good person. I love my friends. I love people… I just want people to know that people change. I’m doing really well. I’m happy. Yes, I am on an MTV show, but I deserve a normal life, too. People need to realize that the show, Teen Mom, is on TV just to help others not make the same mistakes. That’s it.”
DO YOU BELIEVE AMBER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIGHT? THOUGHTS ON AMBER’S INTERVIEW? ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THE INFORMATION SHE REVEALED?
STFU!
the racist comment excuse again?
Bish please, just pretend these fools are baby Leah and ignore them like we saw you on Tv.
Are you supposed to be mixing your Lithium with alcohol???
What a CLASSY ACT THIS ONE IS….
That’s funny… She’s JUST realizing that she’s BiPolar. We knew this since the 3rd or 4th show…
What I don’t get is these people not thinking things through B4 going on Reality Rubbish TV.
Anger management is the key, b/c one day….. these TV bullies are going to meet their match!
amber has a 10 grade education – what do you expect? she’s straight trailer trasher. she thinks she’s cute – puke – her orange skin. and that poor child they have !!!!! hey amber – GET A JOB AND FINISH HIGH SCHOOL !!!! what a pig.
Sad because by her behavior, you’d think she was raised by animals. She seriously needs to grow the hell up! She’s 21 w/ a child.
LOL @2 Ragin….. Anyone who watched an episode knows that Amber is a nutbag with lots of insecurities about everything and everyone……her sick dad, her poor relationship with her mom, she misses her brother in the military, her baby sister died of SIDS…..she always has excuses. But I am happy that she stopped dating Gary Shirley. She needs a dominant man and not Gary’s weak behind. Maybe a new strong male figure will help her to let go of her raging “testerone” and be more lady like.
Just look at the picture….she is the one upping the ante..the people are obviously way across the room….it takes two to fight…if she just ignored them it would have stopped.
I work in the mental health field. Many many people are bipolar and act NOTHING like Amber. She is filled with rage…but look at her mother and father….she was raised by wolves.
I just hope she stays away from Gary who knows exactly what to do to make her go insane.
If she is on probation, this story might get her into trouble…. will be interesting to see how she is next season.
She’s disgusting!
She looks so gangster in that picture lmao.
I’m so tired of bi-polar being over diagnosed as an excuse for everything bad or sad about someone. We are a bipolar society! It’s just a blanket diagnosis for anyone who is screwed up, self entitled or angry. It’s bullshit! What IS wrong with this idiot and thousands upon thousands of others like her is that thery were born and raised to even bigger idiots. They did not receive the care, love, discipline and attention they deserved. That’s what happens when you have babies having babies. As a result, we now have a society of lazy, angry little bastards (and bitches!) who are angry at the world – angry they don’t live the life of the rich and famous, angry they don’t look like models, angry they can’t have all they feel they deserve. It’s madness! Sheer madness. Look at the days of your parents or grandparents – you didn’t hear of these pussy mental disorders and resulting needed meds. They were raised with discipline, ethics and morals. For the most part they were loved, given attention and affection. Taught the things they needed to know in life. Teachers gave a damn back then. Few value their children today, they put themselves first. They ignore their responsibilities. They are too lazy to work for what they want. Nobody gives a damn about anything anymore. It’s just an “I want it now” world and the result is children who grow up with numerous problems, no just this idiot, but many others. What we find acceptable these days is disgusting. From the Kardashian types to much else, it’s destroying the morals and behavior of those who will lead our world in the centuries ahead. They can’t rise to the occasion, we’ve denied them the skills. What’s worse? Few realize it, few care.
@9 I know..how funny is that?
I agree that she was a wreck to watch. HOWEVER, She does get taunted excessively via twitter, they vandalized her car, she gets slammed on FB and in public. She is pretty universally disliked . People do try to engage her in act of aggression to see if she will snap. Factor in she is not 100% stable to start w/ and its not a good mix. I thinks it obviously she she has SOME form of mental disorder. I have empathy for her. She is a mess
Amber is complete trash. She needs to just GO AWAY.
She may have bipolar, but she doesn’t have disassociative disorder. She just doesn’t want to take responsibility for her actions.
This chick is a recycled shit storm to the extreme…. The victim role is ridiculous..
@10 you clearly don’t understand the diagnosis. Bi Polar is a serious mental health disorder. It’s not just lashing out, starting fights, or mood swings. You can hear voices, you can cause harm. It is not a blanket diagnosis. Bi polar disorder has nothing to do with you upbringing. If you already have a predisposition to it and live a stressful life it can bring on symptoms quicker. Your quote:
“as result, we now have a society of lazy, angry little bastards (and bitches!) who are angry at the world – angry they don’t live the life of the rich and famous, angry they don’t look like models, angry they can’t have all they feel they deserve.” Is this the way you feel?
i think many people with experience with close ones that have severe cases of bi-polar disorder may judge her differently. She and her daughter have a long hard road ahead. And it’s pretty unethical having her on reality tv…
I have never attacked another posters opinion, but # 10, I’m not sure you fully understand what you are talking about in regards to the spectrum of this mental diagnosis
Put Amber in a straight jacket and threw her in a cage.
The person who made the racist comment was obviously “not” speaking to “her,” if that’s her new boyfriend in the picture with her. So maybe simply minding her own business — would have helped in this case a little too. Jeez.
HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH BI-POLAR SPEND MO THA IN REHAB?!! It was most certainly drugs/alcohol too.
I CANNOT see this trashy girl leaning to the next table saying “excuse me…”. Then her next sentence is “shut your f”ing mouth”. Don’t think so!! As for being judged when you go out – that’s what happens when you 1) trade your privacy for cash, and 2) have a history of smacking people!!!
I agree Bipolar disorder is serious. If my stepmom goes off her meds she endscup in the psych ward for a couple of days to regulate…not rehab! I suspect rehab was for addiction as well. Amber needs to ger healthy and grow up. Quit making excuses and be a good mom and productive citizen.
Meant ends up not endscup lol
@7, agree!! She said she was diagnosed w/bipolar when she went to rehab. Drs that know what they’re doing don’t diagnose bipolar if the patient has any issues with drug use. Respectable drs will tell u that anyone, while on drugs, is bipolar. It gives you highs & lows same as bipolar. I know someone that was told they were bipolar but taking uppers, downers, anything u can imagine! The Dr knew this bc of everything in her system but Dr put her on anti-dep’s, bad mix-drugs/anti-dep!! She really became depressed & attempted suicide. There needs to be more “good” drs in mental health field! I went way off on this, but I saw your post!
@10, wish I would’ve read down further! Lol You are soo right!! Spot on!!
1. She is lying about hitting Gary “after he told her he cheated on her”
She hit him more then once and obviously has no self control.
2. Have you ever looked at the condition her house is in during filming. Its always dirty…every room. I could imagine when they’re not filming. Poor child, her daughter that is.
She is NATURALLY a disgusting dirty little hamster.
And lol @ people who “know” they have met “the one” in a month.
@26..that house is two steps away from showing up on Hoarders….what a pig sty…if she hadn’t been arrested Leah still wouldn’t have a bed or sheets lol
Look, if she really IS bipolar, any true doctor would have her evaluated and on medicine to help control her behavior. She would also be seeing a therapist. Otherwise, it sounds like a cheap excuse to cover bad behavior. Genuinely good people are diagnosed all the time with bipolar disorder, but most of them aren’t picking fights at the IHOP.
