Amber Portwood once again partook in what’s becoming one of her favorite hobbies (aside for lounging on her LazyBoy, naturally): bashing Gary Shirley on TikTok Live.
The Teen Mom star was blasting her baby daddy— whom she shares 16-year-old daughter Leah with— early Monday morning while doing a Live with creator Mr. Hoodz. As fans are aware, Leah is currently estranged from Amber and Gary recently revealed on the show that Amber only saw Leah four times in the last year. (Amber has pointed the finger at Gary for this, stating that he told her not to come over to see Leah.)
On Monday, Amber slammed Gary, claiming money corrupted him and has made him a “pawn” for ‘Teen Mom.’
“Gary is a f**king pawn in a f**king show!” Amber— who, mind you, has starred on the exact same show for 15+ years– stated. “…he’s never even had a job. I’m the only one that’s had a f**king job here, y’all. Like, I’m done!”
The ‘Teen Mom’ star insisted she’s “working right now” but didn’t disclose how.
(The Ashley would like to interject here that, despite what Amber is claiming, Gary has, indeed, had jobs. During the early seasons of ‘Teen Mom,’ he was working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. He now owns several properties that he rents out for a profit.)
Amber infamously ripped Gary apart during a TikTok Live on Christmas Eve, accusing him of raping her and being a bad dad (among other things.) Last month, Amber hit TikTok Live again, this time to accuse Gary of blackmailing her and lying about her.
During Monday’s Live, Amber explained how her views on Gary have changed over the years.
“He was a person— I thought– who wanted to do good by me because of what our past was. And I thought he wasn’t going to push the envelope [with me] because of some things in the past, if he was smart of enough,” Amber said. (FYI– she’s likely referring to this.)
“…It’s like a good guy turning bad because of money,” Amber continued. “And it makes me want to cry, because I had a relationship with Gary for, what, like 20 years?” she said, agreeing with Mr. Hoodz when he said that Amber got Gary “paid” for having a child with her.
Amber then slammed Gary’s parenting.
“He’s not a full-time dad! Kristina’s a full-time dad,” Amber stated.
During previous Lives, Amber has stated that Gary “begged” her to return to filming for Teen Mom: The Next Chapter after she took a short hiatus.
“Guys, I left the show twice and was completely broke,” Amber said in February. “I knew I wasn’t going to have the money…I came back, yes, but… I was begged by [Gary], a person who said they needed the money. I’m gonna take care of my f**king daughter. What would you guys do?
“…I came back for my daughter, just to have [Gary] lie on me on everything, after I did [the show again] just so [Gary and Kristina] weren’t losing their s**t,” Amber said at the time. “I feel so defeated, knowing how much I sacrificed my privacy…I’m so sad that people think of me the way they do, and it’s all because of one man– just one man!— who lied out of his f**king teeth. Just one, that’s all it took.”
On Monday, Amber bashed fans who support Gary.
“If you guys keep saying [I’m] a delusional narcissist, you need to send that s**t to Gary!” she said. “Don’t send that to me. Y’all are really, like, on Gary’s d**k so f**king hard it’s ridiculous.”
Amber then told the fans who are #TeamGary that they shouldn’t be following her on social media and instead should be giving their views to Gary. (She also managed to slip in a humble brag about how many people watch her Lives.)
“If that’s the case, y’all need to go over there [to his social media]. Why are you watching me?” she said. “Because this morning, I had 7,000 people watching me! So, if y’all ride him so hard, then go give him the 7,000 [views]. Go give him all of that bulls**t. Because I don’t want it! I don’t care.”
After Amber’s Live, she was banned from TikTok Live for an undetermined amount of time. However, she quickly FaceTimed Mr. Hoodz and held court on his TikTok Live later on Monday.
As you do…
Gary has yet to respond publicly to Amber’s latest accusations.

First of all, incorrect, he has had jobs, and he even went to the police academy. More jobs than Amber has ever held. How do you not have a job yourself and attempt to insult someone else who actually HAS had jobs?
Second of all, if he makes enough money from Teen Mom to not hold a typical job, who cares?! I would do the same! As long as he pays his bills, who cares if the money comes from a 9-5 or from Teen Mom? He’s Leah’s PARENT, and has filmed for what, 16 years now? He deserves the money. And good for him if it lets him stay home to be a PARENT to Leah. Not to mention, isn’t Kristina a nurse or something? I’m sure they cover their bills just fine and anyone who doesn’t live in their household can mind their own business.
Third of all, again — what JOB have you held other than Teen Mom, Amber???? I don’t recall ANY. Which is fine, because again – you made bank from MTV and good for you!! That’s the dream! You put yourself out there and got paid handsomely, to the point where you don’t need a 9-5. Yay you! So why is it ok for you but not Gary?!
Fourth of all – Gary was Leah’s PARENT. Unlike you. So how about not criticizing him, since he is the ONLY reason Leah grew up to be a normal, healthy young woman. I don’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if she only had you.
Gary’s had more jobs than you, Ambie (although it wasn’t hard because you NEVER had a job in your entire life).
At this point I’m glad when I see one more of her rants, each one means Leah distances herself more and more from this POS egg donor
I think some of these women would of been better off if MTV had never contacted them for 16 and Pregnant. It’s kinda like they say that some lottery wins regret winning because it brings a lot of unintended consequences. I suspect MTV wants this sinking show to run until the kids all turn 18yrs old.
The majority would probably be much better off without this show… it’s like the fame and money have enabled their mental health issues to flourish
So basically, amber thought he was just gonna be a doormat to her for his entire life??🙄🙄🙄
Those 7000 people are not all her supporters! They are 1.) creators who need content, 2.) just want to be watch the train wreck she is because hell let’s be honest it’s entertaining, 3.) and lastly, actually Ambie supporters….
Everyone should flood the internet with all her wrong doings! Every man shedumped her daughter for. Among everything else she has done! She should be fired from teen mom! The show is way better with out her. And keep gary and his family. And show everyone what a real mother is like thanks to Kristina !
Okay, Amber might seriously be past the point of recovery after this one. The amount of nonsense is dizzying. Seriously though, why has Gary not gone to a lawyer and shut this woman down? I’m sure Andrew did. Gary, it’s ten minutes past the time for a restraining order.
Yes, Amber, Kristina is a full-time parent to Leah, the same as Gary, because you aren’t and have never been. Kristina probably does take on more parental responsibilities because that’s just what a mother does. I wouldn’t expect Amber to know that, though.
What job has Amber ever had besides sitting on a couch on TV or sitting on a couch online? Because, Gary has had several jobs throughout the years and I’m pretty sure Kristina is a nurse. The Shirleys will be fine when the show ends because they’ve made proper money moves. Amber needs the show and the drama because she can never be a functioning member of society.
You hit all the nails on the head!!!
I thought Gary was a cop? He’s not?
He is was sort of a volunteer. And as mentioned, they do own rental properties. They own a nice house, bit it’s no mansion, and we c don’t see a lot of fancy cars or vacations. I think if these shows shut down tomorrow, their life style wouldn’t change.
And they live in Indiana, lower cost of living. If you’re smart with your money, it will go far there. I believe Gary has been good with his money. I remember the episode where he was explaining to Amber how many properties he owned and rented out. I also believe that’s where Matt and Amber got the bright idea to flip homes.
People just wanna see the freak show for free. Just sayin…
amber’s getting money by going on tiktok live like any other creator with over 1,000 followers would that’s what she means when she says she’s “working” and why she switched from instagram live to tiktok so she gets paid for her delusional rants
