Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood Talks Prison Life, Second Chances, And More

by Melissa on December 14th, 2013

After following Teen Mom train wrecks Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans, it's refreshing to read about a Teen Mom star who has worked hard to turn her life around and learned from her mistakes. I am proud of Amber Portwood for making the decisions she has to make a better life for herself and Leah.

In her first interview since being released from prison on November 4, Amber talked to In Touch about her pill addiction, prison life, and future plans.

"Before prison, I never thought about Leah," admitted Amber. "I was addicted to drugs and didn't care about anything else. Prison saved my life – and gave me a second chance at being a mother." Note to Jenelle: the picture above is what a second chance as a mom looks like, not a positive pregnancy test.

Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood “Rebuilding Life” After Drug Addiction And Prison

by Melissa on November 14th, 2013

Amber Portwood shocked us when she asked a judge to send her to prison eighteen months ago. Now, out on parole, the former Teen Mom star is making plans for the future and working on her relationship with her daughter.

In a recent interview, Shawn Portwood insisted his sister is clearheaded and sober now, adding that Amber's working hard to rebuild her life.

"Amber's focus is college," said Shawn. "Then she wants to start her own drug rehabilitation program." Sound crazy? Maybe not! Amber was released from prison after serving only seventeen months of a five year sentence mostly due to selflessly helping other inmates better themselves.

Following her release, Shawn Portwood tweeted, "Amber is out and looking better than she ever has because she is clean of drugs and healthy. Time to start a new chapter. I love you, sis." Later that night, he added, "After spending the day with her, I know she will be OK."

Amber went from prison to a burger restaurant for lunch to her daughter Leah. Mom and daughter were reunited Monday night. Gary Shirley has full custody of Leah currently, but Amber hopes to obtain joint custody soon.

Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood Released From Prison

by Melissa on November 4th, 2013

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood was released from prison this morning.

As you may recall, Amber was sentenced to five years in prison in January 2012 for drug possession and parole violations. When a court-mandated drug rehab program proved to be too hard for the trouble reality TV star, Amber shocked us all by begging a judge to send her to prison instead in May 2012.

Amber was released from prison earlier than expected due to earning credits for good behavior and successfully completing a drug abuse program. Amber's mother Tonya and brother Shawn were present for her release. Ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley and daughter Leah were not.

Teen Mom Update: Amber Portwood Kicking Butt In School Behind Bars While Farrah Abraham Can’t Escape Fame…She Was Born For It!

by Lauren on July 19th, 2013

In today's Teen Mom news, two of the original cast continue to on their respective paths, and it's almost as if they've traded places. Amber Portwood was the series' train wreck, and viewers watched her downward spiral that ended with an extended stay in the clink. Now, however, Amber has worked hard to turn her life around for the sake of her daughter and herself.

On the other hand, her co-star Farrah Abraham is also a train wreck. While she's not in jail, I'm sure she'd entertain the idea of starring in an adult movie focused on female inmates. Of course, Farrah never disappoints, and she recently chatted about how she can't run from fame (it will find her!) and the caliber of her three (yes, three) veryveryveryvery successful suitors. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!

Let's start with the positive, shall we? Starcasm reports on a recent interview given by Amber where she talks about her progress while in prison and how hard she's working to get out of jail.

Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham Blames DUI On Her Sister; Considers Herself A Celebrity!

by Lauren on March 25th, 2013

Since Jenelle Evans is the reigning train wreck on Teen Mom 2, someone needs to step up to the plate in the original franchise…especially with Amber Portwood stories at a lull due to her incarceration. Leave it to Farrah Abraham to take over the role as most idiotic Teen Mom. Speaking out about her recent DUI arrest (you know, the one where she blew nearly twice the legal limit!), Farrah wants to set the record straight about what happened. Clearly, it wasn't her fault.

Blaming her sister, mainly, and being sick, in part, Farrah wants everyone to believe she didn't do anything wrong. I'm actually insulted that she truly thinks that people will be dumb enough to buy into her ridiculous story. Add in the arrogance of seeking out a media outlet to spread her crap, and I'm totally befuddled by little Miss Farrah. Geez.

Teen Mom’s Gary Shirley Is Getting Evicted!

by Lauren on January 28th, 2013

It looks as if MTV's Teen Mom money has finally run dry for Gary Shirley. I'll be honest…it took a little longer than I thought it would! Amber Portwood's ex is being evicted from his home.

While Amber is serving a five year sentence in the slammer, Gary has been raising the pair's four-year-old daughter Leah in a 1,500 square foot house in Indiana. Unfortunately for Gary, he's been forgetting one tiny detail…rent! If he's short on cash, perhaps he should start wearing some tacky clothing line again, so the company will pay him to stop wearing it. Hey, it's worked before!
